Computer-Assisted Layout Design Planning For An Entree Production Center, Saundra H. Pierpoint

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A productive layout design effectively utilizes men, materials, machines, and space. Determination of effective utilization of space and equipment arrangement for a food service system is based on the menu item production sequences. Utilization of computer processing of the data can provide quantitative information in minimal time for major planning decisions.

It was the purpose of this research 1) to determine an optimal equipment arrangement among four types of layouts for an entree-production center and 2) to demonstrate the value of the computer-assisted method in optimizing equipment arrangements.

The production sequences indicating equipment utilization and frequency factor for each of …

Systems Reliability Using The Flow Graph, Kenneth Edward Farrier

Dissertations and Theses

The problem of calculating the reliability of a complex system of interacting elements is delineated to a linear system, no element of the system having a reliability distribution in terms of any other e1ement of the system, where only one path is taken through the system at a time. A precise definition is then developed to specify the reliability of the linear, single path at a time, system. A precise and concise generating function is found that effortlessly produces the reliability of the linear, single path at a time, system directly from the reliability flew graph of the system.

Automated Circulation Control For The Utah State University Library, Richard M. Montgomery

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This package of programs is a result of the U.S.U. Library incorporating an automated control on the circulation of their books, which would provide the library with a daily record of all books in circulation, or not available for circu­lation, and send notices when books were overdue.

Because of the long-range program of the Data Processing Department of the University, it was decided to develop the software for this project rather than purchase the hardware.

Toward A Fair Transactive Energy Market: A Deeplearning Based Energy Consumption Prediction Model, Yuka Hatori

Computer Science and Engineering Master's Theses

The application of machine learning is vast and quickly spreading across disciplines because of its versatile utility. By nature, machine learning implementations can quickly be obfuscated and ultimately introduce and perpetuate discriminatory practices, which leads to the issue of fairness. Transactive energy and the distribution of energy management technologies allow for new participants, meaning individual households and entities smaller than large energy providers, to enter the market to buy and sell energy. Machine learning has potential for meaningful use in many aspects of the transactive energy market process, and we focus on the specific aspect of how individual households can …
