A Semiparametric Trajectory Model for Cognitive Decline
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Dementia is a group of diseases that are caused by neurocognitive disorder. It is the second leading cause of death in older adults in the US. People who suffer from dementia experience memory loss and other cognitive or ... -
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, ... -
Stochastic Optimization of Sustainable Industrial Symbiosis Based Hybrid Generation Bioethanol Supply Chains
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Bioethanol is becoming increasingly attractive for the reasons of energy security, diversity, and sustainability. As a result, the use of bioethanol for transportation purposes has been encouraged extensively. However, ... -
Stochastic Scheduling Optimization for Solving Patient No-show and Appointment Cancellation Problems
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Patient non-attendance is the major challenge that reduces practice efficiency, resource utilization, and clinic accessibility, and leads to increased cost and diminished quality of care, while the clinic scheduling system ... -
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 ... -
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). ... -
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 ...
