Characterization of Activities of Crumb Rubber in Interaction with Asphalt and its Effect on Final Properties
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Recycling of millions of scrap tires produced everyday is crucial challenge encountered by waste management systems. Recycling tire rubbers in form of ground tire rubber, known as crumb rubber modifier (CRM), in asphalt ...
Smart Grid Optimization Using a Capacitated Transshipment Problem Solver
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
A network flow model known as the capacitated transshipment problem, or CTP, can represent key aspects of a smart grid test network with the goal of finding minimum cost electric power flows using multiple different cost ...
An Investigation of Integration and Performance Issues Related to the Use of Extended Page Sizes in Computationally Intensive Applications
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
The combination of increasing fabrication density and corresponding decrease in price has resulted in the ability of commodity platforms to support large memory capacities. Processor designers have introduced support for ...
Injecting Safety-Critical Certification Into Agile Software Methods
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Agility offers an adaptable and changeable environment within software development. The benefits that agile methods provide for software development are becoming an even greater possibility in safety-critical software ...
Metrics and Tools to Guide Design of Graphical User Interfaces
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
User interface design metrics assist developers evaluate interface designs in early phase before delivering the software to end users. This dissertation presents a metric-based tool called GUIEvaluator for evaluating the ...
Foundational Algorithms Underlying Horizontal Processing of Vertically Structured Big Data Using pTrees
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
For Big Data, the time taken to process a data mining algorithm is a critical issue. Many reliable algorithms are unusable in the big data environment due to the fact that the processing takes an unacceptable amount of ...
Capacitated Transshipment Models for Predicting Signaling Pathways
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Signal transduction is a process of transmitting signals for controlling biological responses. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) data, containing signal transduction proteins, can be considered as a bi-directional, ...
Understanding Contextual Factors in Regression Testing Techniques
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
The software regression testing techniques of test case reduction, selection, and prioritization are widely used and well-researched in software development. They allow for more efficient utilization of scarce testing ...
Project Quality Tool: A Tool for Project Success
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
This paper proposes a solution to the current changing requirements communication problem in an offshore on-site software development model. The proposed model is a web-based tool where the user in a project team can enter ...
An Application of Association Rule Mining to Unit Test Selection
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Appropriate selection of unit tests during the software development process is vital when many unit tests exist. The developer may be unfamiliar with some tests and non-obvious relationships between application code and ...
