Fall 2012
Multi-Agent Simulation (MAS) is a widely used paradigm for modeling and simulating real world complex system, ranging from ant colony foraging to online trading. MAS describes a complex system by representing it as a collection of interactive and concurrent objects following a set of predefined...

Spring 2016
In this work we address the challenges arising when developing, testing and deploying software for Wireless Sensor Networks. We investigate both pre-deployment software design, as well as efficient post-deployment updates. We present a combined pre-deployment framework that simulates the network...

Advanced quantitative techniques to enhance heavy and civil construction information modeling
DownloadSpring 2011
Site development in heavy and civil construction need to consider many rules such as ensuring proper drainage, prevention of flood, safety driving, optimizing earthwork, minimizing fleet travel distances, proper fleet matching and achieving high equipment utilization rates. In recent decades,...

An experimental investigation of the impact of fat taxes: Price effects, food stigma, and information effects on economic instruments to improve dietary health
DownloadFall 2009
This thesis investigates how a tax and warning label on less healthy snack food products may affect consumer behaviour when the imposition of the tax is a source of consumer information. A survey that included choice experiments was implemented in supermarkets. Participants were asked to choose...

Fall 2012
Auction algorithms have been applied in various linear network problems, such as assignment, transportation, max-flow and shortest path problem. The inherent parallel characteristics of these algorithms are well suited for Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) hardware implementation. In this...

Fall 2023
With the increasing complexity and capacity of modern Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), there is a growing demand for efficient FPGA computer-aided design (CAD) tools, particularly at the placement stage. While some previous works, such as RLPlace, have explored the efficacy of single-state...

An open-source two-phase non-isothermal mathematical model of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell
DownloadSpring 2014
A comprehensive open-source two-phase non-isothermal MEA model including the microporous layer and accounting for multi-step reaction kinetics for the ORR and HOR is developed for the first time. The model is integrated into openFCST, an open-source FEM based fuel cell simulation framework. All...

Applications of nonautonomous infinite-dimensional systems control theory for parabolic PDEs
DownloadFall 2013
Parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) are used as models of transport-reaction phenomena in a variety of different industrial chemical and materials engineering processes, and can yield precise descriptions of process variables with complex temporal and spatially dependent system...

Area Yield Crop Insurance and Diversification in Ghana: An Agricultural Household Programming Model
DownloadFall 2016
Although diversification and insurance are acknowledged as important in ameliorating risk, to our knowledge, no empirical study has investigated how the two approaches work in concert in developing countries. Given increasing climate variability and the risks it poses to rain-fed agriculture,...
