Game Theory Approach To Transportation Network Vulnerability Measurement, Qixing Wang Dec 2012

Game Theory Approach To Transportation Network Vulnerability Measurement, Qixing Wang

Master's Theses

The vulnerability of a transportation network is strongly correlated with the ability of the network to withstand shocks and disruptions. A robust network with strategic redundancy allows for the redistribution or reassignment of traffic without unduly compromising system performance. As such, high-volume edges with limited alternative paths represent system vulnerabilities – a feature of transportation networks that has been exploited in the past to identify critical components. In this thesis, a mixed-strategy, two opponents, non-zero sum, combinatorial game theoretical framework are presented for measuring network vulnerability. Two solution approaches (Shortest Path Algorithm with Entropy function (SPE) & User Equilibrium Assignment …

Biohydrogen Production From Palm Oil Mill Effluent (Pome) In An Anaerobic Hybrid Bioreactor / Parviz Mohammadi, Mohammadi Parviz

Student Works (2010-2019)

The effects of various pretreatment methods on the enrichment of H2 evolving bacterial population and their hydrogen production efficiency using palm oil mill effluent (POME) as substrate were studied. Heat shock pretreatment was shown to be the most effective in enhancing the biological H2 production. Up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket fixed film (UASB-FF) bioreactor is a modern bioreactor and was used to generate of biological hydrogen with the help of granulated microbial aggregates. A lab scale UASB-FF bioreactor (2.55 lit) with an external settling tank was successfully designed and operated for biohydrogen production from POME. The use of packing media in …

Modeling The Effects Of The Local Environment On A Received Gnss Signal, Marshall E. Haker Dec 2012

Modeling The Effects Of The Local Environment On A Received Gnss Signal, Marshall E. Haker

Theses and Dissertations

There is an ongoing need in the GNSS community for the development of high-fidelity simulators which generate data that replicates what can truly be expected from a challenging environment such as an urban canyon or an indoor environment. The algorithm developed for use in the research in this dissertation, the Signal Decomposition and Parameterization Algorithm (SDPA), is presented in order to respond to this need. This algorithm is designed to decompose a signal received using a GNSS recording and playback system and output parameters that can be used to reconstruct the effects on the signal of the environment local to …


Internet Casino-Style Gambling: Is It Legal In Nevada?, Marc G. Warren Dec 2012

Internet Casino-Style Gambling: Is It Legal In Nevada?, Marc G. Warren

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

The State of Nevada, to retain its position as pace setter in U.S. casino gaming regulation, took important legislative steps to prepare for online gambling. When these legal efforts were discouraged or blocked by the U. S. Department of Justice a new direction emerged. This article traces the shift from implementing online gambling across state lines to intrastate gaming within Nevada with hand-held devices in auxiliary areas of a casino complex beyond the casino floor. Regulatory issues are raised and prospects for inaugurating interactive gaming are discussed.


Change Management: Antecedents And Consequences In Casino Crm, Sudhir H. Kale Dec 2012

Change Management: Antecedents And Consequences In Casino Crm, Sudhir H. Kale

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) continues to attract increasing attention within the casino industry. While the vital role of change management in making CRM projects successful has been acknowledged for quite some time, there is little in extant literature to explain the nature and conduct of change management in the CRM context. This article posits that relevant change management is a prerequisite for successful implementation of a casino's CRM. Change management involves five key initiatives: selling change internally, creating an appropriate infrastructure for change management, CRM-relevant training, a reconfiguration of the organization structure and performance assessment measures, and recasting existing incentive …


Assessing The Information Needs Of Australian Gaming Managers, Helen Breen Dec 2012

Assessing The Information Needs Of Australian Gaming Managers, Helen Breen

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

There has been an increased need for gaming managers to source and use relevant information to assist them in managing their venues.

Research into the management of gaming is still in its infancy. This paper reports on a study into the information needs of a selection of gaming managers of clubs, hotels and casinos in two Australian states. This exploratory qualitative research provides in-depth responses from twenty-six gaming managers. These managers report that they want …


Crm In Gaming: It's No Crapshoot!, Sudhir H. Kale Dec 2012

Crm In Gaming: It's No Crapshoot!, Sudhir H. Kale

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

CRM, or Customer Relationship Management, though slightly more than a decade old, has become the management craze of the 21st century. Yet, managerial understanding of what CRM is, what it does, how to implement it, and the grounds for success or failure in CRM implementation, seem far from crystallized. This paper looks at why so many CRM endeavors fail, and proceeds to discuss issues critical to CRM's success. CRM projects in casinos will have a higher chance of success if CRM is viewed as a business philosophy and becomes a part of the corporate culture. Appropriate customer strategy, organizational transformation, …

Using The Critical Incident Technique To Assess Gaming Customer Satisfaction, Lesley Johnson Dec 2012

Using The Critical Incident Technique To Assess Gaming Customer Satisfaction, Lesley Johnson

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

Before gaming organizations can initiate efforts to service their customers, they must be able to effectively manage the service encounter. Although every service encounter is not necessarily critical to satisfaction, it is not always obvious which are crucial to the customer and which are not. Using critical incidents reported by gaming customers and employees, this study identifies service encounters that both parties perceive as being very satisfactory or very dissatisfactory from the customer's point of view. Identifying particularly positive and negative customer service experiences can provide direction for management in allocating resources specifically to those areas that maximize customer satisfaction …
