We present the results of research studying the properties of dense plasmas using the average atom model. The average atom model is a physically reasonable statistical representation of an atom in a plasma, and various ...

Modeling Service Performance and Dynamic Worker Allocation Policies for Order Fulfillment Systems 

Kim, Hyun Ho (2009-11-10)
In this dissertation, we propose several dynamic worker allocation policies based on the sojourn time distribution in due-date order fulfillment systems. To establish a sojourn-based policy, we must be able to compute ...

Modeling Simulation and Preliminary Experimentation on Towed Tether System 

Kolla, Pradeep (2007-12-15)
Aero-dynamic drag forces and their effect on the path taken by a cable in a towed system are studied with the aid of an advanced computational software packages. A piece of rope (tether) is towed at the top end in a ...

Modeling Soil Moisture Dynamics in Wetlands 

He, Junhao (2021-07-19)
Soil moisture distribution and fluxes are among the fundamental components of the hydrological cycle. One-dimensional Richard’s Equation (hereafter RE) is often used to represent the physics of water moisture distribution ...

Modeling the Effects of Intelligent Driver Assistance on Driver Behaviors 

Deo, Ganesh (2010-06-01)
Many studies have concluded that activities like answering a cell phone call and entering an address while driving could potentially distract the driver. This thesis presents the design and experimental evaluation by ...

Modeling the Effects of Projected Sea Level Rise on Water Quality in Coastal Bangladesh 

Shuman, Morgan (2015-05-04)
Climate models show that Bangladesh will experience high rates of change in temperature, precipitation, runoff, and local sea level rise rates by 2100. Sea level rise will result in the degradation of groundwater quality ...

Modeling the Risk of Wrong-Way Driving at Freeway Exit Ramp Terminals 

Atiquzzaman, Md (2019-07-23)
Wrong-way driving (WWD) crashes are a critical safety issue on freeways. Although these crashes are rare in nature, they often result in severe injuries and/or fatalities. Typically, exit ramp terminals are the initial ...

Modeling Water Quality Impacts of Off-Road Vehicles in Forested Watersheds 

Brodbeck, Christian (2005-08-15)
Erosion from off-road vehicles can cause negative effects on water quality by impairing fish habitat and shortening reservoir life. Due to an increasing level of off-road vehicle use throughout the country, this impact ...

Modeling, Analysis, and Validation of Temperature Dependent Vibration Induced Fretting Corrosion 

Ibrahim, Rebecca (2010-04-27)
Connector reliability is an extremely important factor in electronic packaging, especially with regard to vehicle electronics. Two of the major drivers for fretting corrosion are vibration and thermal cycling. Most previous ...

Modeling, Machine Vision Sensing and Material Flow System Definition of Braiding Point Motion 

Ma, Guangli (2011-02-03)
This dissertation is focused on the modeling of one kind of braiding machine and its key part, the carrier. The carrier is a small mass-spring-damping tensioning system, which defines the characteristics and response of ...

Modeling, Validation and Analysis of Degradation Processes of Lithium Ion Polymer Batteries 

Fu, Rujian (2014-07-29)
The lithium ion polymer battery (LiPB) has become one of the most widely used energy storage devices because of its high energy and power densities. However, its performance and life span are limited by the degradation ...

Modelling, Control and Estimation Techniques For Micromachined Electrostatic Actuators Using Macro Magnetic Actuators 

Li, Chong (2016-07-29)
Parallel plate actuators (PPAs) are fundamental devices in micro-electro-mechanical systems. PPAs' main drawback is their limited open loop stable traveling range which is caused by their nonlinear electrostatic force. ...
