Modeling and Solving Multi-Product Multi-Layer Location-Routing Problems
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Distribution is a very important component of logistics and supply chain
management. Location-Routing Problem (LRP) simultaneously takes into consideration
location, allocation, and vehicle routing decisions to design ...
Quantification of the Influences of Subsurface Uncertainties on Seismic Behavior of Shallow Foundations
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
The properties of geomaterials are uncertain. These uncertainties not only affect the
dynamic behavior of the geomaterials, but also significantly influence the complex
nonlinear dynamics between the soil, foundation, ...
Uses and Gratifications of Amputees' Online Social Networks
(2011)
The following thesis examined amputee support groups on Facebook. Having an
111
amputation can be a life-changing experience. and social support may be necessary to
understand one's amputation. Hundreds of amputee groups ...
Referring Clients Based Solely on Sexual Orientation: An Exploration of the Role of Homophobia and Clinical Competence
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
The purpose cf this study was to explore how homophobia and clinical competence
influence experienced clinicians' beliefs and practices regarding referring a LGB client
based solely on the sexual orientation of the client. ...
Maximizing Sensor Coverage using Displacement to Remove Overlaps
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Sensor networks are wireless networks with small, low-cost sensors which collect
and disseminate environmental data. They are used for monitoring and controlling physical
environments from remote locations with better ...
Genetic Search for Multi School Routing
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
In genetic search for multi school routing, a set of commonly shared school buses and vans
with capacity, travel speed and travel time limitations are used to service students from
their pick up locations to their ...
Effects of Major Flooding on Water and Sediment Characteristics in an Urban Enviromnent
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Spring flooding of the Red River of the North is a common phenomenon, but no
infonnation exits on how these flooding events impact both water and sediment quality
within an urban area. The objectives of this study were ...
Time-dependent Behavior of Various FRP Composites for Structural Applications
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
This thesis represents the long-term behavior of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)
materials for structural applications. FRP composites consist of high-strength fibers
embedded in an epoxy resin. The long-term investigations ...
Stress-Function Variational Method and Its Applications in the Strength Analysis of Bonded Joints and Hard Coatings
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
High concentrations of interfacial stress near the adherend ends are primarily
responsible for the debonding failure of bonded joints, such as those structured extensively
in civil and structural engineering; aeronautical, ...
The Relationship Between Features and Edge Types in Natural Images
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
One of the most important processes in the human visual system involves detecting and
understanding edges. Edges allow humans to break a visual scene up into meaningful
chunks of information. Without edges, a visual scene ...
