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 ... -
Augmenting faceted browsing of the Isis bibliography of the history of science with small multiple time series visualizations
Gopalachary, Bhavana (2021-05)Bibliographic data can be defined as content of a library catalog, union catalog or abstract and indexing service which connects users to the information they need. A bibliographic record helps users find and access the ... -
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 ... -
Clustering Techniques in Multi-Objective Optimization: Applications in Climate-Driven Refugee Relocation
Pletcher, Alyssa (2022)As climate change becomes increasingly concerning around the world, and with large uncertainty falling on the aspects of displaced people, a need for planning is prevalent. This complex problem—of which there is little to ... -
Community Vulnerability Perspectives on Infrastructure Network Resilience Decision Making
Karakoc, Deniz Berfin (2019-05-10)Critical interdependent infrastructure networks such as water distribution, natural gas pipeline, electricity power, communication and transportation systems provide the essential necessities for societies and their ... -
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 ... -
Component Importance Balancing of Multi-Commodity Networks
Christensen, Mick Barlach (2022-05)Determining which network components to focus on in case of a disruption can be determined by the component with the greatest importance to the network. This study extends a balancing component added to a list of optimization ... -
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 ... -
Decision Analysis Tools for Multiobjective Tradeoffs in Project Risk Management
Stewart, Matthew (2016-08)The need to manage project risk, through the use of decision analysis tools and other approaches will only increase in the future. Several statistical methods are applied to simulate, in a project risk environment, a simple ... -
Game Theory Application of Resilience Community Road-Bridge Transportation System
Wen, Yunjie (2017-12-15)This thesis considers the problem of game theory application in resilience-based road-bridge transportation network. Bridges in a community may be owned and maintained by separated entities. These owners may have different ... -
Heuristic Approach to Network Recovery
Chang, Yanbin (2018-05-11)This study addresses optimization modeling for recovery of a transportation system after a major disaster. In particular, a novel metric based on the shape of the recovery curve is introduced as the objective to minimize. ... -
Inventory Scheduling Framework to Fulfill Multi-Product Orders within an Interconnected Production Network
Bourgeois, Christopher (2021-05)Production facilities are critical components of the global economy and supply chain. Firms are forced to balance several competing objectives—from reducing operating costs by managing inventory to increasing profits by ... -
A location optimization approach to refugee resettlement decision-making
Cilali, Buket (2020-12)Whether due to customary causes or new emerging ones, the ever-growing refugee population precipitates a variety of issues all around the world. Resettlement of individuals and families is an issue that should be regarded ... -
Machine Learning Approach to Model Interdependent Network Performance
Ramineni Chittibabu Naidu, Ghaneshvar (2019-12-13)Resilience can be understood as the property of an object or system to recover from its state of disruption back to its complete functional stage as it was prior to the disruption event. There are different ways of measuring ... -
Measuring and Optimizing Influence for Resilient Community Networks
Yeagle, Lauren (2018)Social networks and the use of technology allow communities to be connected, creating opportunities for individuals to spread information and influence others. This communication is critical when disruptions, such as natural ... -
Mitigation of Blast-Induced Hearing Damage Associated with Mild-TBI Chinchillas using Liraglutide
Sanders, Sarah (2022-05-13)Even with the use of hearing protection devices (HPDs), hearing damage caused by blast exposure dominates service-related disabilities faced by active service members and Veterans. Epidemiology studies have revealed that ... -
Model for Mitigating Economic and Social Disaster Damage Through Structural Reinforcement
Snelling, Megan (2017-05)Natural disasters have both severe negative short-term consequences on community structures, inhabitants, and long-term impacts on economic growth. In response to the rising costs and magnitude of such disasters to ... -
Modeling the Effects of Disinformation Spread on Multi-Commodity Networks
Rohrbach, Lily (2022-05)Disinformation has become a more common weapon amidst growing social media platforms and users, targeting consumer behavior to affect physical infrastructure. Understanding how disinformation could attack a multi-commodity ... -
Multi-objective optimization of building mitigation strategies to address multiple hazards
