MATHEMATICAL MODELING APPROACHES IN SUSTAINABLE FOOD SUPPLY CHAINS
(2020-05-19)
Access to high quality and safe food is vital for sustainable development in societies. Perishable foods lose a major portion of their quality after harvesting until the consumption point due to poor storage and distribution ...
Some New Results on Statistical Information and Evidence
(2020-05-21)
This dissertation represents an attempt to relate some fundamental statistical problems using the notions of information, entropy, and evidence.
A HYBRID SYSTEMS MODEL FOR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT BOARDING MANAGEMENT
(2022-08-04)
The purpose of this research is to examine methods for minimizing the influence of boarding on emergency department (ED) crowding outcomes. To accomplish this purpose, this research uses a hybrid systems model framework ...
Additive Manufacturing of Stretchable Piezo-Resistive Sensors: Fabrication and Performance Evaluation
(2022-12-19)
Additive manufacturing provides a distinctive layer-wise production method, which is efficient and effective, especially when fabricating products with complex designs and/or multiple materials. One of the promising ...
LASSO Based State Transition Modeling with Interactions in Adaptive Interdisciplinary Pain Management
(2022-08-10)
The Eugene McDermott Center for Pain Management at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center has an interdisciplinary pain management program for chronic pain. This program treats patients with a holistic view ...
A biomechanical approach to investigate the effects on the lumbosacral joint, pelvis, and knee joint while of carrying asymmetrical loads, during ground walking.
(2020-08-31)
Spinal pain is reasonably considered among the expensive and impairing problems critically disturbing the health of individuals, especially the workforce, in industrially developed countries (Steele et al., 2003). The pain ...
Optimizing the Performance of Analytical Chemistry Instrumentation
(2022-05-04)
Surrogate Optimization and Global Optimization approaches to optimize underlying functions have been studied and used extensively in the field of Operations Research. However, there are very few instances where these ...
FORMING COALITIONS AND SHARING PAYOFFS IN n-PERSON NORMAL FORM GAMES
(2022-12-19)
For a given n-person normal form game, we form all possible sets of mutually
exclusive and collectively exhaustive coalitions of the n players. For each set of coalitions, we define a coalitional semi-cooperative game as ...
Evaluating and Addressing the Transportation Challenges of Small-Scale Farmers and Ranchers in Regional Food Systems
(2022-05-17)
During the last 20 years, there has been a significant increase in US consumers’ interest in local food. At the same time, there is substantial potential demand for crops produced by local small and mid-size farmers and ...
A COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF CO2 EMISSION BETWEEN GASOLINE, ELECTRIC, AND HYBRID VEHICLES: A WELL-TO-WHEEL PERSPECTIVE USING AGENT-BASED MODELING
(2020-08-18)
Road transports in the U.S. are almost entirely dependent on the consumption of fossil fuel. This high dependency on fossil fuel is significantly contributing to carbon dioxide (CO2) emission, one of the leading Green House ...
