Modeling Human Perception of Postural Stress 

Ogutu, Jack (2013-04-22)
This work investigated the discomfort-time sequences of SPH tasks in an effort to determine the existing relationship between perceived discomfort and posture holding time. This study proposed the power function as an ...

Modeling Hydrologic and Water Quality Responses to Changing Climate and Land Use/Cover in the Wolf Bay Watershed, South Alabama 

Wang, Ruoyu (2010-11-17)
Land use/cover (LULC) and climate change are two main factors directly affecting regional hydrology and water quality. In this study, the future potential impacts of LULC and climate change on the hydrologic regimes and ...

Modeling impact of Land Use/ Cover changes on Water Quality and Quantity of Fish River Watershed 

Singh, Harsh Vardhan (2010-07-13)
Hydrologic and water quality models are widely used for assessing the impacts of land use/cover (LULC) changes on water quality and quantity. However, their credibility for predicting LULC change impacts has not been tested ...

Modeling Inertial Measurement Units and Anlyzing the Effect of Their Errors in Navigation Applications 

Flenniken, Warren (2005-12-15)
In this thesis, a simple model that statistically represents an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) output has been studied. This model is then expanded to produce a model that incorporates terms that account for errors ...

Modeling Methane and Nitrous Oxide Exchanges between the Atmosphere and Terrestrial Ecosystems over North America in the Context of Multifactor Global Change 

Xu, Xiaofeng (2010-11-19)
Methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) are two potent greenhouse gases which in sum contribute to more than one fourth of global warming caused by anthropogenic activities. In the meantime, CH4 and N2O play significant roles ...

Modeling of Frictional Gas Flow in a Piezoelectrically Actuated High-Pressure Microvalve for Flowrate Control 

Johnson, Christopher (2005-12-15)
One-dimensional modeling of frictional compressible gaseous flow through a high-pressure piezoelectrically-actuated microvalve is studied. Focusing on the micro-scale gap between the boss and seat plates, variations of ...

Modeling of Tensile Properties of Woven Fabrics and Auxetic Braided Structures by Multi-Scale Finite Element Method 

Shen, Yang (2013-12-05)
This study is undertaken to build an appropriate mechanical model for the analysis of mechanical properties of forming fabrics by incorporation of multi-scale modeling concept comprising micro-mechanical model, meso-mechanical ...

Modeling of the Wolf Bay and Perdido Bay Watersheds using HSPF 

Lusk, Kyle (2017-07-27)
This study is the first stage of the larger project for determining the transport mechanism of endocrine disruptors that flow through the Perdido Bay Basin. Given within are the methods and processes used to perform watershed ...

Modeling of Third-order Distortion in Common-Emitter SiGe HBTs Using Mextram 505.00 

Ding, Xuewei (2018-06-26)
Mextram is an advanced compact model for bipolar transistors. Mextram 504.12 does not provide a good OIP3 simulation near peak OIP3. Mextram 505.00 improves peak OIP3 by modifying intrinsic base-collector depletion ...

Modeling of Warm Dense Plasmas for the Determination of Transport Properties and Equation of State 

Gill, Nathanael (2020-05-14)
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 ...
