Internet-Based Manufacturing Database, Shashidhar Iddamsetty
Internet-Based Manufacturing Database, Shashidhar Iddamsetty
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
This thesis presents the concept of using distributive databases and World Wide Web as a tool for deploying the Internet based Manufacturing database for insert selection. The rapid phase of development of Internet and its wide usage in the areas of business and Engineering has opened a wide spectrum for the areas of research. This tool is useful in the selection of the cutting inserts for the various machining processes based on the conditions, which a user provides; The Internet based System for Inserts and Parameter selection (ISIPS) has two research databases connected to the Internet, which provides the user …
Gis-Based Evaluation Of Mid-Block Pedestrian Crossing Safety, Zhenzhong Cui
Gis-Based Evaluation Of Mid-Block Pedestrian Crossing Safety, Zhenzhong Cui
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Transportation related problems have become one of the most pressing and visible concerns of urban life. One major aspect of safety relates to pedestrian crossings, especially pedestrian crossings away from an intersection i.e. at mid-block locations. There is need to develop a program to address mid-block pedestrian crashes (MBPC) to better understand them. This thesis describes the development of set of tools designed to help better understand MBPCs. Included are general statistical methods, GIS database, and visualization interface software; This thesis evaluates the potential of spatial clustering techniques and nearest neighbor methods to identify areas where high concentrations of mid-block …
Development Of A Gis-Based Framework For Evaluating Space And Parking Utilization, Jyothi S Tallapragada
Development Of A Gis-Based Framework For Evaluating Space And Parking Utilization, Jyothi S Tallapragada
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Large organizations such as corporations and universities typically occupy many buildings. A typical university space includes classrooms, laboratories, offices, and parKing The cost of adding additional space is significant. Therefore, effective management and utilization of the space is critical, especially to organizations that are growing. Growth may be measured in terms of the number of employees or students. As the number of employees and students increase, the number of trips to the campus also increase. This poses a growing pressure on the parking supply at the campus; The main objective of this thesis is to develop a framework for evaluating …
A Web-Based Finite Element Model For Heat Transfer, Trevor Allen Wilcox
A Web-Based Finite Element Model For Heat Transfer, Trevor Allen Wilcox
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
A web based Java program has been developed to solve 2-D transient or steady state heat transfer problems. The numerical solver is based on the finite element method. The program is designed to work with both triangle and quadrilateral elements. In this thesis the development of the finite element method, using the Galerkin weighted residuals method, is reviewed and the technique applied to the advection-diffusion equation for the transport of temperature. The Java code and graphical interface used to implement the solver for use on the Internet is discussed.
The Dynamics Of Faith-Based Organizations And Their Effects On Educational Standardization, Patricia Gail Haase
The Dynamics Of Faith-Based Organizations And Their Effects On Educational Standardization, Patricia Gail Haase
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Remnants of Christian tradition exist in American culture although we live in a pluralistic society. Faith-based schools seek to restore elements of the Christian tradition, believing those values essential for their children. Some in the greater community look to such schools for elements and practices to translate and apply into the greater systems; Private faith-based education is considered overall successful, but there are problems that warrant discussion. Most of the dynamics are typical of all organizations, but perhaps not expected because of the moral representation. Others dynamics are unique or exaggerated in faith-based organizations; Non-profit organizations, including faith-based, exist to …
