Waste-Stream Management Optimization in Long-Duration Crewed Space Missions
… adopted rudimentary strategies to manage waste-streams generated inside spacecraft. Currently, on the International Space Station (ISS), waste-streams are stowed for months and later loaded onto an outbound cargo vehicle for incineration in the Earth's atmosphere. But as humans start to move …

Multi-Stream Management for Supporting Multi-Party Three-Dimensional Tele-Immersive Environments
… cross-layer hierarchical and distributed multi-stream management middleware framework for QoS provisioning to fully enable multi-party 3DTI communication over general delivery infrastructure. The major contributions are as follows. First, we introduce the view model for representing the user …

The application of value stream management principles in a batch production environment
… need for continuous improvement within a value stream is very necessary in today's business environment and can be one of the key sources of competitive advantage. As a company learns and implements the tools and practices of a Lean system, the underlying management and leadership methods become …

A Dynamic Attribute-Based Load Shedding and Data Recovery Scheme for Data Stream Management Systems
Data streams being transmitted over a network channel with capacity less than the data rate of the data streams is very common when using network channels such as dial-up, low bandwidth wireless links. Not only does this lower capacity creates delays but also causes sequential network problems such …

Lean manufacturing system design and value stream management in a high-mix, low-volume environment
Value Stream Mapping is a powerful tool for identifying sources of waste and for creating the vision for the future state of a production system. As a management tool, however, it lacks in specific focus of roles, responsibilities, and actions required to achieve the future state vision. The …

Streaming Random Forests
Recent research addresses the problem of data-stream mining to deal with applications that require processing huge amounts of data such as sensor data analysis and financial applications. Data-stream mining algorithms incorporate special provisions to meet the requirements of stream-management …

Impact of Alternative Flow Control Policies on Value Stream Delivery Robustness Under Demand Instability: a System Dynamics Modeling and Simulation Approach
This research explores the effect of proposed management policies and related structures on the dynamics of value streams, particularly under demand instability. It relies on methods from the systems thinking and modeling literature and was designed to fulfill three main objectives. Objective 1: …

Analysis and design of resource allocation policies for cloud-based computing systems supporting soft real-time applications
… reservation-based designs. We also discuss user/stream management for computing systems supporting soft real-time users. Overall, the main contribution of this dissertation is a theoretical study on the efficiency and optimality of simple deficit-based resource allocation policies for systems …

Amphibian Population and Community Characteristics, Habitat Relationships, and First-Year Responses to Clearcutting in a Central Appalachian Industrial Forest
… plots on all habitat types, plots that were in a Stream Management Zone (SMZ), and plots that were in upland, or non-SMZ, habitat. Distance to perennial or ephemeral streams or perennial ponds (SMZ classification), the amount of available rocks along transects, and site index were the 3 most …

Behavior and conservation: hellbender reproductive behavioral responses to poor water quality and the value of private lands research for conservation outreach
… behaviors to compensate for the impacts of poor stream management on their own and their offspring's health, and I find that engaging landowners in research can encourage changes in awareness, attitudes, and behavioral intentions regarding conservation.

An Investigation of Spatial and Temporal Variability in Several of Montana's Reference Streams: Working Toward a More Holistic Management Strategy
… a physical property that fundamentally affects stream ecology and is considered an important water quality parameter from scientific and legal view points. On global, catchment and reach scales, anthropogenic activities have substantially altered natural stream temperature regimes, impairing …

Session management for enabling multi-party interactivity and large-scale viewing in 3D tele-immersion
… challenges due to high interactivity, multi-stream dependency, multi-view dynamism and large resource demand. Quality of service (QoS) allocation in 3DTI sessions not only depends on the availability of network and processing resources, but also on the users' expectations, which are dynamic …

Partitioning along reproductive niche dimensions in sympatric New Zealand freshwater bivalve species
… (PIT) tagging was used in a coastal Waikato stream in combination with electrofishing to track movements of both mussel species and determine host fish species locations within mapped habitats, to better understand spatial and temporal movement patterns of both sexes in relation to …

Banking on offsets: a political ecological and eco-geomorphic analysis of Section 404 compensatory stream mitigation banking in Illinois and Missouri
… to the dredging and filling of jurisdictional streams and wetlands nationally. Section 404 oversight is triggered when an applicant—such as a land or highway developer—proposes to fill or dredge a stream or wetland as a part of their development project. As a part of their project, the …

Thermal Pollution in Urban Streams of the North Carolina Piedmont
… altered from their pre-urban state, but urban streams are particularly impacted. As low lying points on the landscape, streams are subject to the degradation caused by urban stormwaters, which are transmitted rapidly from the surfaces of pavements, roofs, and lawns through stormwater …
