Analysis of Resilience in US Stock Markets during Natural Disasters
Tripathi, Param (2016)Different studies relating to resilience have been performed on stock markets for disasters around the world. Researchers have tried to figure out if stock markets were resilient or not during a particular disaster. In ... -
Analysis of the relationships between eye tracking information and text comprehension levels in healthcare
Mosoni, Lucas (2017-12)Health information can be found more easily than ever through a variety of digital texts: from health forums online, informative websites, or phone apps that monitor your health. It is important that the patients are able ... -
Applying Dynamic Mode Decomposition to Interconnected Systems for Forecasting and System Identification
Bridges, Noah (2023-08-04)Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) describes a family of dynamical systems analysis approaches that approximate complex, likely non-linear behaviors with a low-rank linear operator. DMD has traditionally been used in a ... -
Applying machine learning models to diagnose failures in electrical submersible pumps
AlBallam, Shaikha (2022-12-17)Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) failures are unanticipated but common occurrences in oil and gas wells. It is necessary to detect the onset of failures early and prevent excessive downtime. This study proposes a novel ... -
BAYESIAN KERNEL METHODS FOR THE RISK ANALYSIS AND RESILIENCE MODELING OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEMS
Baroud, Hiba (2015-08-14)The protection of critical infrastructures has recently garnered attention with an emphasis on analyzing the risk and improving the resilience of such systems. With the abundance of data, risk managers should be able to ... -
Benchmarking of Academic Departments using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)
Alam, Tasfiq (2019-08-01)Departmental rankings are a primary factor in assessing the organizational performance and quality. Peer Assessment Scores are one of few metrics by which academic departmental performances are quantified. There are different ... -
A Bi-Objective Formulation for Robust Defense Strategies in Multi-Commodity Networks: Application to Rail Freight
McCarter, Matthew (2017-05)Characterizing system performance under disruption is a growing area of research, particularly for describing a system’s resilience to a disruption event. Within the framework of system resilience, this study approaches ... -
Coastal vulnerability: Impact of port disruptions and the economic impacts of tropical cyclones
Wendler Bosco, Vera (2020-12)Coastal counties in the United States account for less than 10% of the nation’s land mass. Yet, approximately 40% of the country’s population, or over 127 million people, live in these areas. The population density of ... -
Combinatorial algorithms in the approximate computing paradigm
Narasimhan, Aditya (2023-08-04)Data-intensive computing has led to the emergence of data centers with massive processor counts and main memory sizes. However, the demand for shared resources has surpassed their capacity, resulting in increased costs and ... -
A comparative analysis of population dislocation models for multi-objective community resilience optimization
Calle Contreras, Paul M. (2019-08-01)The importance of community resilience has been demonstrated by the large amount of human and economic losses from hazard events worldwide. The ability of a community to be able to recover from an event of this nature is ... -
Comparison of Interval Valued Pareto-Optimal Alternatives
Stewart, Andrew (2016)Everyday tradeoff decisions are made where criteria must be compared, evaluated, and decided upon. In real world applications, variables have an inherent amount of uncertainty that must be regarded when making a ... -
Comparison of Machine Learning and Statistical Approaches for Predicting Travel Times in the Oklahoma Highway System
Saidi, Said Jalal (2020-12)Traffic management systems play a vital role in supporting the smooth flow of traffic in road networks. By accurately predicting travel time, a traffic condition parameter that is extensively used in such systems, we can ... -
COMPONENT IMPORTANCE OF MULTI-COMMODITY NETWORKS
Whitman, Mackenzie (2016)Preparedness planning for critical infrastructure networks requires evaluating the impact to the network when its components are disrupted. We extend the well-studied problem of component importance measures in single-commodity ... -
Compressing and Performing Algorithms on Massively Large Networks
Nelson, Michael (2019-12-13)Networks are represented as a set of nodes (vertices) and the arcs (links) connecting them. Such networks can model various real-world structures such as social networks (e.g., Facebook), information networks (e.g., citation ... -
Compression techniques for extreme-scale graphs and matrices: sequential and parallel algorithms
Gopal Krishna, Sudhindra (2023-08-04)A graph G = (V, E) is an ordered tuple where V is a non-empty set of elements called vertices (nodes), and E is a set of an unordered pair of elements called links (edges), and a time-evolving graph is a change in the ... -
