A Framework for Aggregation of Heterogeneous Experts' Opinions in Construction Risk Assessment
DownloadSpring 2018
Construction companies constantly seek to improve risk analysis techniques to determine projects' risk contingency. The construction risk assessment practice relies on heterogeneous experts' opinions in a group decision making (GDM) process to determine the risk probabilities and impacts on a...

A Model for the Solubility of Minerals in Saline Aqueous Fluids in the Crust and Upper Mantle
DownloadFall 2018
Quantifying and predicting the dissolution of minerals in complex (multicomponent) aqueous fluids across wide ranges of P-T space is critical for interpreting geologic processes that involve water-rock interactions in the Earth’s crust and upper mantle. Here, we define a new thermodynamic model...

Development of a Model using Machine Learning Intended to be Embedded in a Wearable Device to Detect Muscle Fatigue based on sEMG Data Associated with a Sustained Single 80% Maximum Voluntary Contraction
DownloadFall 2021
Background: Muscle fatigue is the progressive reduction in a muscle's ability to contract and exert force when performing a sustained task. Muscle fatigue may prevent the task from being complete and increase the risk of injury. Eventually, the performance of individuals during athletic...
