Dynamic modeling of arctic resource allocation for oil spill response
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-08)A mixed-integer linear program is proposed to model the dynamic network expansion problem of improving oil spill response capabilities to support energy exploration in the Arctic. Oil spill response operations in this ... -
Experimental assessment of higher-level data analysis skills
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-05)This thesis reports the results of a pilot experiment aimed at learning how to assess and improve students' competence in data analysis. The premise of the research is that, while most engineering statistics courses emphasize ... -
Factors influencing the selection of decision support systems for emergency management : an analysis of empirical use and user preferences
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-12)The term Decision Support System (DSS) refers to any tool used to guide decision-makers by supporting critical decisions made in the field. This research focuses on determining specific user needs for DSSs used in the ... -
Measuring the impact of coordination in disrupting illicit trafficking supply chains
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-05)In this thesis, an interdiction model is developed to assess the value of coordination in disrupting illicit trafficking supply chains, specifically large scale heroin networks. Coordination is a tool law enforcement and ... -

Semantically enabled neural network modeling of major depressive disorder
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-08)We then describe our user case: we combine this portal with our second order differential equation and neural network model for depressive data analysis. Both the design methods and learning algorithm are discussed in this ...
