ISO 9001: 2015 Quality System Manual Development and Implementation for Business and Commerce with Expanded Emphasis on Risk Management
(North Dakota State University, 2019)ISO 9001: 2015 is the latest edition of the Quality Management System from the International Standard Organization. One of the most noticeable changes about the new edition is the emphasis on risk-based thinking. This study ... -
Resilience Assessment for Complex Networks Based on Recovery Strategies
(North Dakota State University, 2019)The vulnerability of complex networks to unexpected disruptive events could be reduced by increasing network resilience through the efficient recovery of the damaged network. To find the most efficient recovery strategy ... -
Two Applications of Combinatorial Branch-and-Bound in Complex Networks and Transportation
(North Dakota State University, 2020)In this dissertation, we show two significant applications of combinatorial branch-and-bound as an exact solution methodology in combinatorial optimization problems. In the first problem, we propose a set of new group ... -
Study of Organizational Transformation from Socio-Technical Perspective
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Organizations are constantly striving for effective and flexible means for managing challenges due to globalization and increasing customer expectations. Many in business community attempted to implement the Toyota Production ... -
Optimization of Regional Empty Container Supply Chains to Support Future Investment Decisions for Developing Inland Container Terminals
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Containerized grain shipping has been increasingly used as a shipment option by U.S. exporters. Continued evolution and investment decisions in optimizing multimodal operations is a key in continued growth for the container ... -
Experimental Study of the Temperature Profile of a Gaussian Type Heat Distribution
(North Dakota State University, 2020)In research aimed at studying the laser microwelding of thermoplastic materials, two theoretical heat flow models were studied by Dr. Grewell. In the surface temperature profile based on the Gaussian type distributed heat ... -
A Review of Wheat Gluten-Based Bioplastics Processing and Their Applications
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Bioplastics produced from agricultural resources are gaining attraction in recent years because of their sustainability and potential biodegradability. Wheat gluten (a wheat protein) is among the potential feedstocks, which ... -
Total Quality Management in Higher Education: A Soft Factor Approach Based on Faculty Satisfaction
(North Dakota State University, 2021)The literature review showed very few organization-wide Total Quality Management (TQM) implementations and mixed opinions regarding its compatibility in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Considering the human-centric ... -
A Study of Degradation Modeling and Lifetime Estimation of Capacitors
(North Dakota State University, 2021)The degradation of capacitors under accelerated stress conditions occurs in a monotonic and non-linear fashion. Several efforts have been made to model the degradation behavior of capacitor considering either physics-of-failure ... -
Some Studies on Reliability Analysis of Complex Cyber-Physical Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Cyber-physical systems (CPSs), a term coined in 2006 refers to the integration of computation with physical processes. Particularly, modern critical infrastructures are examples of CPSs, like smart electric power grids, ... -
Moisture Sensitivity of PLA/PBS Blends During Ultrasonic Welding and Fused Deposition Modeling
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Moisture absorption into hygroscopic/hydrophilic materials used in fused deposition modeling (FDM) and ultrasonic welding (USW) can diminish desired mechanical properties. Sensitivity to moisture is dependent on material ... -
A Domain-Knowledge Modeling of Hospital-Acquired Infection Risk in Healthcare Personnel From Retrospective Observational Data: A Case Study for Covid-19
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Healthcare personnel (HCP) is facing a consistent risk of viral infections. We proposed a domain-knowledge-driven infection risk model to quantify the individual HCP and the population-level risks. For individual-level ... -
Advanced Numerical Modeling in Manufacturing Processes
(North Dakota State University, 2022)In manufacturing applications, a large number of data can be collected by experimental studies and/or sensors. This collected data is vital to improving process efficiency, scheduling maintenance activities, and predicting ... -
A Study on Deep Learning for Prognostics and Health Management Applications: An Evolutionary Convolutional Long Short-Term Memory Deep Neural Network Data-Driven Model for Prognostics of Aircraft Gas Turbine
(North Dakota State University, 2022)The fundamental concept of prognostics and health management (PHM) within the scope of Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) is to find an approach to evaluate the system health and predict its remaining useful life (RUL). ... -
