Evaluation Of Airport Operating Efficiencies Using Data Envelopment Analysis, Scott Andrew Cummings
Evaluation Of Airport Operating Efficiencies Using Data Envelopment Analysis, Scott Andrew Cummings
Engineering Management & Systems Engineering Theses & Dissertations
Airport congestion represents a serious obstacle to the future growth of the air transportation industry in the United States. Future development of new airports, and expansion of existing ones is required to meet the growing demands in domestic and commercial air travel. Globalization of economies and international travel has placed additional burdens on airports nationwide. This growth is requiring airports to operate at peak efficiencies. Economic growth of surrounding industries is dependent on the airport that services that geographical region. The variations in functions that airports offer, and therefore the differences in operations, do not lend themselves to traditional efficiency …
Study Of Human Factors Variables In Battle Outcome Prediction Models, David Andrew Glovier
Study Of Human Factors Variables In Battle Outcome Prediction Models, David Andrew Glovier
Engineering Management & Systems Engineering Theses & Dissertations
Over time there have been many improvements in models that are used to predict the outcome of battles. Currently there is much supposition and speculation surrounding the use of human performance related factors as additional inputs to battle simulation models to improve their accuracy. However there is no conclusive scientific evidence which shows that these factors do make a significant difference. This study investigates the use of factors that may impact on the human performance directly or indirectly in battle prediction models. These factors consist of traditional human factors and external factors that may influence the human performance. The research …
