Integrated Production Planning and Control System for Prefabrication of Panelized Construction for Residential Building
DownloadFall 2016
Panelized construction has been recognized as a promising approach to residential construction. However, its full potential in terms of productivity improvement has not yet been realized due to the absence of an automated production planning and control system. This research thus conceives an...

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,...

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...

Simulating Strategic Rationality
Spring 2010
This project explores the intersection of three topics: games, rationality and simulation. There are four major results produced by this exploration. First, it is argued that whether or not a particular process can count as a simulation for a particular person is entirely dependent on whether or...

Fall 2012
Project risks and uncertainties cause unpredictable project performance. This research intended to demonstrate that project control can be improved with the proceeding of a project, by exploiting new, available project information, and reducing uncertainties. The purpose of this study was to...

Design and Microfabrication of Robust and Highly Integrated Thermal Lab-On-A-Chip Polymeric Systems for Genetic Diagnosis
DownloadSpring 2014
The lab-on-chip (LOC) technology could transform and greatly enhance the health care system by making genetic diagnosis tests fast, accurate and readily accessible. However, most LOC systems are not prepared to resist variations of their external environment, as they depend upon many...
