Decision Models for a Two-Stage Supply Chain Planning under Uncertainty with Time-sensitive Shortages and Real Option Approach 

Lee, Hwansik (2010-03-23)
The primary objective of this research is to develop analytical models for typical supply chain situations to help inventory decision-makers. We also derive closed form solutions for each model and reveal several ...

A decision support system for biorefinery location and logistics 

Sukumaran, Sujith (2009-05-01)
The use of forest biomass, a renewable resource, as a source of fuels or chemicals is hindered by logistics. Economic success of the bioenergy concepts and their products may also depend on the solution to the logistics ...

A Decision Support Tool: Integrating Wildlife Occupancy Models with Stand Projections 

Tacconelli, Michelle F. (2011-08-16)
With the increase in consumptive trends of wood products there is greater push for ecosystem management. Ecosystem management is a process that aims to conserve major ecological services and restore natural resources while ...

Decomposing Graphs With Two Associate Classes Into Paths Of Length 3 And The Intersection Problem Of Latin Rectangles 

Yeh, Bin (2018-07-24)
In this thesis, the decomposition problem of graphs with two associate classes into paths of length 3 is completely settled. The intersection problem for latin rectangles is completely solved as well. In addition, an ...

Decomposition of Coarse Woody Debris and Microbial Biomass in Tidal Freshwater Forested Wetlands along a River to Estuary Gradient on the Apalachicola River in Florida 

Click, Nathan (2011-04-07)
Decomposition dynamics of mass, carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorous (P) as well as downed woody debris biomass and microbial biomass were assayed along a river to estuary gradient in wetlands alongside the Apalachicola ...

Decomposition of Complete Tri-Partite Graphs into 5-Cycles 

Davis, Christopher (2013-04-16)
E. S. Mahmoodian gave necessary conditions for when the edges of a complete tripartite graph can be partitioned so that each set in the partition induces a 5-cycle. Since then, he, N. J. Cavenagh, E. J. Billington, S. ...

Decontamination of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella in Lettuce, Chicken, and Apples by Chlorine Dioxide and Ultrasound 

Xu, Chuanling (2005-12-15)
Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) has been used for many years by the food industry and public water suppliers as a sanitizing and disinfecting agents. The mechanisms of microbial inactivation by ultrasonication are mainly due to ...

Decreasing Lead Bioaccessibility In Soils With Phosphate Amendments 

Moseley, Rebecca (2006-08-15)
Ingestion of Pb-contaminated soil has been proposed as a primary exposure pathway for elevated blood Pb levels in young children (Dudka and Miller, 1999). Children are often exposed to soils contaminated with toxic metals ...

Dedekind Domains and the P-rank of Ext 

James, Daniel (2017-04-21)
We address what can be said of torsion-free finite rank modules $A$ and $B$ over a Dedekind domain $R$ when their Ext's are isomorphic, extending an answer to Fuchs' Problem 43 and its dual by Goeters. We obtain a result ...

Deep genetic divergence in the Deep South: An integrative approach to species delimitation reveals the paraphyletic nature of speciation in the trapdoor spider genus Cyclocosmia. 

Bourguignon, Kellie (2018-01-09)
Mygalomorph spiders house an incredible amount of cryptic genetic information, making them an excellent model for species delimitation. An integrative approach to species delimitation uses multiple lines of evidence to ...

Deep Integration of a Flight Vehicle Dynamic Model in a Vector Tracking Software Defined Receiver 

Miller, Noah (2024-01-04)
The greater occurrence of signal interference on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) requires additional alternative navigation solutions to provide robust, reliable localization of flight vehicles when measurements ...

Deep Learned Multi-Modal Traffic Agent Predictions for Truck Platooning Cut-Ins 

Douglass, Samuel Jr (2020-05-18)
Recent advances in Driver-Assisted Truck Platooning (DATP) have shown success in linking multiple trucks in leader-follower platoons using Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC). Such setups allow for closer spacing ...

Deep Learning Methods Using Levenberg-Marquardt with Weight Compression and Discrete Cosine Transform Spectral Pooling 

Smith, James (2018-04-18)
State-of-the-Art Machine Learning methods achieve powerful results on practical problems in all data-driven industries. As these methods are improved, the hardware and training time necessary to implement them have grown ...

Deep Learning, Neural Networks and Aerospace Applications 

Liting, Zhou (2018-11-15)
The ability to rack an enemy missile while in-flight, whether to accurately predict the point of impact (POI), the point of origin (POO) or to destroy the missile in-flight, is greatly enhanced if the missile type and/or ...
