Optimized border interdiction
A feature of many conflicts is the presence of a border that separates an area of on-going military operations from an area that the enemy can use permissively. This thesis considers analytic techniques for planning military operations designed to interdict enemy forces crossing the border. …

GPU-Optimized Molecular Dynamics Simulations
… code with over 32x speedup over the CPU-optimized approach for the full ribosome when all optimizations are taken into account.

Risk Optimized Microgrid Resource Management
<p>This thesis proposes a risk based price adjustment method for a day ahead scheduling of a distribution side tiered community microgrid within a transactive energy style market. The system is organized into a master controller and local controller confïguration to simulate behind meter activity …

Non-linear optimized cash flow model
… formulation will likely not produce an ideal optimized solution. This research examines the combination of the two linear procedures into a single non-linear formulation to achieve better gross profit margin for the contractor.

Optimized scheduling of highway work zones
… that integrates the two steps was developed. The optimized work zone schedule and the associated optimal diverted traffic flow can be found simultaneously after multiple iterations. Case studies and extensive sensitivity analyses were conducted to analyze various scheduling scenarios with or …

Optimized scheduling for repetitive construction projects
An object-oriented model is presented for optimized scheduling of repetitive construction projects such as: high-rise buildings, housing projects, highways, pipeline networks, bridges and tunnels. The model provides a number of practical features, and incorporates newly developed algorithms for …

Constructive synthesis of optimized cryptographic primitives
In this thesis, I designed and implemented a formally verified compiler for programs over arbitrary-width integers in Parametric Higher-Order Abstract Syntax. This was part of a larger project, Fiat-crypto, which seeks to produce formally verified machine-code implementations of Elliptic Curve …

Cost-optimized warehouse storage type allocations
… the thesis provides recommendations for cost-optimized warehouse storage type allocations. The major recommendations are to replace floor pallet storage within existing fulfillment centers, increasing Non-Sortable product mix in select existing Sortable fulfillment centers, and optimized …

Sensory representations optimized for the natural environment
… coding account for which the encoding is optimized toward the conditional statistics of orientation based on the surrounding context. In Chapter 4, I generalize the efficient coding principle to fully naturalistic stimuli by building models of natural image statistics and image-computable …

Effects of Subsidies on Optimized Bus Transportation
… and unconstrained subsidy). The values of the optimized decision variables (i.e., headway, bus route spacing, service area, and fare) are found for achieving those objectives. The most interesting results indicate that as subsidies increase, the social welfare increases much less than …

Optimized grating coupler designs for integrated photonics
… the CE curve, is conducted and reported for such optimized non-uniform grating couplers. Here, the bandwidth is shown to be inversely proportional to the dimension of the impinging mode field diameter, which affects, together with the energy dispersion curve of each grating structure, its CE …

Interactive Source -Level Debugging of Optimized Code
The debugging framework has been prototyped in both the IMPACT compiler and an experimental debugger. Experiments conducted on several integer benchmark programs have yielded encouraging results. The overhead in executable file size and compile time incurred by this framework is reasonable. …

Optimized FTR portfolio construction: the speculator's problem
… propose a systematic methodology to construct an optimized financial transmission rights (FTR) portfolio for the speculator, who purchases FTR holdings in order to have returns that are as good as possible. The conventional approach of selecting the FTR in a portfolio requires the exhaustive …

An optimized data reduction technique in photogrammetry
The Direct Linear Transformation (DLT) method was first reported on in 1974 as an attractive alternative to existing photogrammetric reduction schemes for non-metric photography. While DLT resolved the problems of non-metric photography not having camera calibration information or fiducial marks …

Electric fields and transport in optimized stellarators
Recent stellarator experiments have been designed with one of two types of neoclassical optimization: quasisymmetry or quasi-isodynamism. Both types of stellarator have perfectly confined collisionless particle orbits as well as one additional feature. Quasisymmetric plasmas have minimal flow …

Topology optimized hemispherical shell under asymmetric loads
… This thesis considers the design of a topology optimized hemisphere, a hemispherical continuous shell, and a hemispherical grid shell, and compares the structural performance of these three shells under asymmetric loads. First, a novel topology optimized dome is defined and generated with the …
