Analysis of Staff Scheduling Effect on Hospitality Staffing Service Efficiency During High-Occupancy Conditions Using Discrete Event Simulation (DES)
… department for hotel operation during high-occupancy conditions. High-occupancy situations within hotels occur during peak season times in which guests occupy a greater number of rooms than throughout the year. A literature review showed that DES has been used to optimize various types …

Sub-nanosecond Cherenkov photon detection for LHCb particle identification in high-occupancy conditions and semiconductor tracking for muon scattering tomography
… a challenging rise in track multiplicity and hit occupancy in the LHCb detector. In order to mitigate this effect, the use of photon detector hit time information is presented in the context of the Ring-Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detectors. The application of a time gate in the FPGA of the digital …

Studying The Impacts of Occupancy Rate on Length of Stay and Outcomes At The Emergency Department At The Regina General Hospital
… at Regina General Hospital typically experiences high occupancy rates. This has serious implications. The following thesis addresses the impact of high occupancy rates on length of stay, the odds ratio of bounce-back, mortality, and leaving without being seen. Quantile regression is used to …

The impact of passive ventilation strategies on thermal comfort in large church buildings in hot-humid climate of Abuja, Nigeria
… key design paradox: massive internal volumes and high heat loads are mismatched with inadequate and ineffective passive ventilation strategies. Compounded by unreliable electricity and the high cost of mechanical cooling, this creates a widespread challenge to occupant well-being and energy …

Essays on the economics of urban transportation
… India. Commuters value time spent commuting highly and are moderately flexible to change departure time. However, welfare gains from optimal congestion pricing are predicted to be low, due primarily to a small road traffic externality. The second paper studies the impact of a high occupancy …

Modeling lane-changing behavior in presence of exclusive lanes
… calibrated for a situation with unlimited access High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane. Estimation results show that the target lane choice is affected by lane-specific attributes, such as average speed and density, variables that relate to the path plan and the interactions of the vehicle with other …

Use of probabilistic methods in evaluating blast performance of structures
… designed for aesthetics and which have high occupancy density. In these situations it is important that not only materials but the geometry of the building be optimized to reduce the effects of such an attack. However, designing a structure only for prescribed code requirements does not …

Human Factors Evaluation of an In-Vehicle Active Traffic and Demand Management (ATDM) System
… limits, 2) dynamic lane use/shoulder control, 3) High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) restrictions, and 4) variable message signs (VMS). This system was equipped with auditory and visual alerts to notify the driver when relevant information was updated. The research questions addressed distraction, …

Examination of Airbnb Demand and Supply in India
This thesis finds Airbnb occupancy in India low and examines the reasons for it. In particular, it focuses on the curious case of year-round high occupancies of 85% + for RAHO properties, a hospitality company with accommodations listed on Airbnb in Coorg, South India. When comparing RAHO …

Modifying TRANSIMS (Transportation Analysis and Simulation) to Include Dynamic Value Pricing and Departure Time Choice
… reduce operational concerns with underutilized High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) facilities and relieves environmental concerns by reducing travel demand. Recently, transportation agencies have become increasingly interested in a high-occupancy toll (HOT) lane value pricing system with time-dependent …

Investigation of performance and the influence of environmental conditions on strip detectors for the ATLAS Inner Tracker Upgrade
… of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) scheduled for installation in 2024, the Inner Detector will be replaced with the new all-silicon ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITk) to maintain tracking performance in this high-occupancy environment and to cope with the increase …

Investigating 3D genome organisation in Caenorhabditis elegans with Accessible Region Conformation Capture (ARC-C)
… genome-wide - from domains and compartments to high resolution interactions between regulatory elements. I applied ARC-C in wild-type Bristol N2, met-2 set-25 mutants that have no H3K9 methylation to study the effects on domain and compartment formation. In these mutants, compartmentalisation …

Rationalizing urban land utilization : guidelines for housing developments in greater Khartoum, Sudan
… in Greater Khartoum manifests itself in a very high demand for housing and a deficient supply mechanism. This unsatisfied demand is reflected in high rents and land prices, high occupancy rates, and sprawling squatter areas. Due to the low priority of the housing sector vis-a-vis the …

Determining relationships and policies that transit properties have with regional employers to increase ridership : a case of the Tren Urbano in San Juan, Puerto Rico
… disincentives targeted at employees to encourage high occupancy vehicle commute as opposed to single occupancy vehicle travel. This research examines the composition of employer transportation plans and their application with respect to encouraging public transportation ridership. Drawing on the …

Determining habitat and biotic factors driving puma (<i>Puma concolor</i>) space use and underlying dynamic processes (colonization and extinction) over 20 years in protected and private areas throughout Belize, Central America
… single-species, single-season and multi-season occupancy modeling to explore factors influencing distribution and persistence of pumas across the country of Belize. We used camera trapping data from 7 protected areas over 20 years with 2,198 camera stations covering ~5,000 km2. For both …

Ecological insight into three neotropical deer species: A study of spatial and diel distributions of white-tailed, Central American red brocket, and Yucatan brown brocket deer in northern Belize, Central America
… in Belize. In Chapter 1, we used single-season occupancy modeling on WTD and RBD detections to estimate occupancy and identify habitat, predator, and anthropogenic drivers of species distribution and to quantify overlap in space use between the two species. WTD behaved as an edge-and-corridor …

Quantifying the environmental impacts of selected sustainable transportation policies
… to quantify the environmental impacts of first, High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes and carpooling as a realization of avoid strategies; and second, Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) as an example of replace strategies. The resulting models have a wide range of applications in evaluating the …

Chacma baboon movement and behaviour in commercial timber plantations in South Africa and their association with bark-stripping
… and quantify bark-stripping behaviour with high precision (98.3%) and recall (95.9%). Plantation baboons allocated up to 9% of their daily activity to bark-stripping, far exceeding previous estimates, and spent less time foraging and more time resting compared to baboons in natural habitats. …
