Optimizing the B.O.B.
<p>The Kennesaw State University Department of Transportation manages the Big Owl Bus (B.O.B.). The B.O.B. has 9 routes which provide transportation around and between the Kennesaw and Marietta campuses, as well as to select off-campus apartment complexes and shopping centers. We utilized a number …

Optimizing counterinsurgency operations
The United States military requires models that estimate the number of forces needed or that measure success during a counterinsurgency. These types of models depend on data from historic counterinsurgencies, but scholars differ on how to compare historic counterinsurgencies to an ongoing or future …

Optimizing Weapon Precision
An accurate soldier is a lethal soldier, lethal soldiers make an effective army, and an effective army is a deterrent to war. In this paper we aim to apply optimization methods to nonlinear trajectory models to make every soldier more lethal with their assigned weapon system (and hunters more …

Optimizing Order Promising
… data should be replied to the ordering customer. Optimizing Order Promising (OOP) is Order Promising (OP) that is optimized. This thesis probed into OP and OOP and summarized the characteristics and differences of the current OP software products on the basis of interviews and the investigation …

Optimizing School Operations
Educational institutions in the United States such as public schools and universities face difficult operational problems in order to keep the lights on and the doors open. These challenges must often be solved on a shoestring budget, and tend to intersect with complex policy questions. For …

Optimizing cycling power
In this study we determine a viable bioenergetic model for power allocation during a cycling race. Various models have been proposed to address power allocation in races with two models rising above others: the Morton-Margaria Three Tank model and the Skiba Energy Balance model. The energy balance …

Self-Optimizing Metamaterial Antennas
… implements a viable adaptive controller for self-optimizing beam pattern control. The algorithmic infrastructure demonstrated in this work meets the dynamic operational requirements of the RHMA, and as an overall algorithmic package, the mathematical framework provides a robust, …

Optimizing Pollution Routing Problem
… 50, 75, 100, 150, and 200 groups of cities. The optimizing techniques applied are the Discrete Differential Evolution (DDE) and, Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization (DPSO) with a Python Tkinter frontend. The objectives to be optimized are the fuel consumption rate and distance traveled and a …

Optimizing Microservice Design Parameters
Production-level cloud services are increasingly deployed as microservices. An important question is given application logic, how to design an effective microservice architecture. Existing studies have underscored the importance of microservice cohesiveness and coupling, using these metrics to …

Optimizing American Football Kickoffs
The kicker's goal during a kickoff is to strategically minimize the starting field position of the opposing team. This gives his team an advantage by making it less likely for the opponent to score. To determine the initial velocity and angle that minimizes the field position, an aerodynamic model …

Interpreting and optimizing data
The goal of this research was twofold. The first goal was to use observational data to propose interventions under various constraints, without explicitly inferring a causal graph. These interventions may be optimized for a single individual within a population, or for an entire population. Under …

Optimizing Queries with Disjunctions
… decades of research into query optimization, optimizing queries with disjunctive predicate expressions remains a challenge. Solutions employed by existing systems (if any) are often simplistic and lead to much redundant work being performed by the execution engine. In this thesis, we present a …

Optimizing fully homomorphic encryption
Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) presents the possibility of removing the need to trust cloud providers with plaintext data. We present two new FHE scheme variants of BGV'12, both of which remove the need for key switching after a ciphertext multiplication, overall halving the runtime of …

Optimizing aerobot exploration of Venus
Venus Flyer Robot (VFR) is an aerobot—an autonomous balloon probe—designed for remote exploration of Earth's sister planet in 2003. VFR's simple navigation and control system permits travel to virtually any location on Venus, but it can survive for only a limited duration in the harsh Venusian …

Modeling and Optimizing IPMC Microgrippers
A FEA (Finite Element Analysis) model was used to determine the change in performance that results from varying the size and shape of IPMC (Ionic Polymer Metal Composite) fingers. Using Comsol Multiphysics and modeFRONTIER, these fingers were modeled and optimized for both force exerted and …

Optimizing select-project-join queries
… This thesis explores heuristic methods for optimizing relational database query algorithms. It combines individual works on heuristics, cost modeling, decomposition, and join optimization. Lastly it assesses these optimization methods.

Optimizing Acyclic Identification of Aptamers
<p>The minimal human alpha-thrombin binding aptamer, d(GGTTGGTGTGGTTGG), has previously been successfully identified from a DNA library of randomized hairpin loop, m=15, with the High Throughput Screening of Aptamers (HTSA) technique, later termed Acyclic Identification of Aptamers (AIA). AIA …

Automatically Optimizing Tree Traversal Algorithms
… techniques can be automatically applied by an optimizing compiler, relieving programmers of manual, error-prone, application-specific effort.</p> <p>Achieving high performance in many applications requires achieving good locality of reference. We propose two novel transformations called point …
