Evolving efficient airline schedules
This project is to solve the fleet scheduling problem for a large airline. This requires matching each fight in a schedule to a plane in the fleet that will fly the scheduled flight on a particular day. This thesis shows how to use the network flow model of a flight schedule in order to find the …

A Comparative Study of Traditional Nursing Schedules vs. Extended Nursing Schedules on Patient Satisfaction
<p>This study compared patient satisfaction with nursing care given by nurses working traditional eight-hour shifts versus the satisfaction of patients being cared for by nurses working twelve-hour shifts.<br /> The conceptual framework was derived from Systems Theory incorporating the interrelated …

Changeover delay and concurrent schedules
… of the relative reinforcement rates on the two schedules presented on two separate keys while holding the COD constant over a series of COD durations from no COD to 15-sec. Sensitivity to reinforcement as measured by a in the generalised matching law was, for both response and time measures, …

Vacation queues with Markov schedules
… of server scheduling disciplines, called Markov schedules, is introduced. It is shown that the queueing behavior M/GI/1/L vacation systems having Markov schedules is characterized by a queue length/server activity marked point process that is Markov renewal and a joint queue length/server …

Factors for generating initial construction schedules
Schedule generation is a vital construction planning tool which is founded on experiential knowledge and on engineering and management procedures. In this dissertation a Knowledge-based Systems (KBS) approach is followed for acquiring, formalizing and representing construction scheduling knowledge.

Approximating fluid schedules in packet-switched networks
We consider a problem motivated by the desire to provide exible, rate-based, quality of service guarantees for packets sent over switches and switch networks. Our focus is solving a type of on-line, traffic scheduling problem, whose input at each time step is a set of desired traffic rates through …

Optimization of Quarry Operations and Maintenance Schedules
… to identify key preventative maintenance schedules to minimize production impact from equipment downtime and unnecessary maintenance. Production efficiency is compared before and after maintenance on Ground Engaging Tools and concluded that there was no material change in the average …

Time, Schedules, and the College Student with ADHD
<p>Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a complex, heterogeneous condition associated with organizational and time management challenges that can impact academic performance. Using information gathered through texts and 28 semi structured, in-depth interviews, I explored the everyday …

Schedules for Dynamic Bidirectional Simulations on Parallel Computers
… the theoretical results of the parallel reversal schedules. First a algorithm was constructed which carries out the ``forward'' calculation and distributes checkpoints in a way, such that the reversal calculation can be started at any time. This approach provides adaptive parallel reversal …

Variable Reinforcement Schedules on a Teacher-Constructed Test
The purpose of this study was to investigate timing of reinforcement and its relationship to performance on a teacher-constructed test. More specifically, it was concerned with the extent that reinforcement timing influenced learning of seventh grade general science material in physical geology.

Dynamic optimization of fractionation schedules in radiation therapy
In this thesis, we investigate the improvement in treatment effectiveness when dynamically optimizing the fractionation scheme in radiation therapy. In the first part of the thesis, we consider delivering a different dose each day depending on the observed patient anatomy. Given that a fixed …

HalideTuner : generating and tuning halide schedules with Opentuner
… This allows Halide's users to test out different schedules for a single image processing algorithm to get the fastest program. Unfortunately, the amount of possible schedules is staggeringly large, and there is no deterministic way to find the fastest schedules. This leads to a lot of man-hours …

Multiple schedules: the effects of temporal factors on behaviour
… of varying the temporal proximity of component schedules on behaviour on multiple variable-interval variable-interval schedules. In all experiments response rates on each component schedule and in successive subintervals of the components were determined. Data were analysed to obtain estimates …

Human factors approach towards improving readability of bus schedules
… concern over the readability of existing bus schedules of a public transportation agency the schedule format was redesigned. Two prototype schedules were designed based on the gathered information from the literature survey, focus group meetings and data from other public transportation …

Mothers' Nonstandard Work Schedules and Young Children's School Readiness
… was to examine whether mothers' nonstandard work schedules were associated with preschool-aged children's early reading and mathematics skills and externalizing behavior problems. The current study investigated whether these linkages were especially salient for some groups as opposed to others. …

Bicriteria optimization of schedules on one and two machines
The practical applications of scheduling generally involve the optimization of more than one criterion. This thesis focuses on the bicriteria optimization problem of scheduling jobs on single and two machines. The optimization criteria that are considered are those of minimization of maximum …

Leveraging synergistic intervals to enhance timing under multiple interval schedules
… tracked five independent fixed-interval schedules simultaneously. In Experiment 1, synergistic intervals were integer multiples of 5 s (5, 10, 20, 30, 40). In Experiment 2, nonsynergistic intervals (5, 13, 17, 21, 38) preserved the overall reinforcement rate but lacked simple …
