Matheuristic methods for solving the multi-calendar naval surface ship work period problem
(2023-07-07)This thesis deals with the development of a binary integer programming (BIP) model and novel matheuristics to solve the naval surface ship work period problem (NSWPP) with multi-calendar activities and resources, multiple ... -
Matheuristic Optimization Approaches for Large Scale Resource Constrained Scheduling Problems in Refit Operations
(2021-09-14)This thesis will discuss the development of matheuristic methods for scheduling the refit activities in the naval surface ship work period problem (NSWPP). The NSWPP is a variant of the classical resource-constrained project ... -
A Matrix-based Visual Analytics approach for the Analysis of Association Rules
(2021-04-20)With a large amount of data, many data mining techniques have contributed to the extraction of useful information from the data. The generated information, if interpreted correctly results in a huge benefit for the user. ... -
Matter and the One in Proclus
(2018-08-27)The purpose of this thesis is to describe the relation between matter and the One in the philosophy of Proclus, and to discover how, by their relation, all things exist. The difficulty of this task is that matter and the ... -
MAXIMAL AND CONVEX LAYERS OF RANDOM POINT SETS
(2017-10-31)This thesis studies two well-known geometric structures in computational geometry: maximal points and convex hull. Extending the concepts to multiple maximal and convex layers is natural. We study the maximal and convex ... -
Maximizing Proteome Recovery and Digestion Efficiency for High-Throughput Bottom-up Mass Spectrometry
(2022-12-16)With current mass spectrometry and bioinformatics platforms, proteome analysis is at the forefront of characterizing complex biological systems. Through deep qualitative coverage combined with precise quantitation, proteomics ... -
Maximizing Real-Time Distribution of Wind-Electricity to Electrical Thermal Storage Units for Residential Space Heating
(2011-09-06)Wind-electricity is unpredictable in both intensity and duration. This thesis presents the design and implementation of Client-pull and Server-push architectures for the distribution of wind-electricity to Electrical Thermal ... -
Maximum likelihood approach to diet estimation and inference based on fatty acid signatures
(2020-11-24)Diet compositions of marine predators are often of interest for marine ecologists in trophic structure studies where non-lethal sampling has created a need for non-invasive diet estimation techniques. Methods using fatty ... -

Männliches und Weibliches in Goethes West-östlichem Divan
(2010-09-10)German literary scholarship took a turn towards cultural inquiry in the 1970s, and the works of Johann Wolfgang Goethe were re-examined in this light. However, in relation to Goethe’s poetry, a number of questions about ... -
MCRWPT Design Through Analog Filter Theory
(2020-09-01)Magnetically-Coupled Resonant Wireless Power Transfer (MCRWPT) is an emerging technology and the subject of extensive research. Existing research is primarily focused on improving the magnetic coupling properties of the ... -
ME-IDS: An Ensemble Transfer Learning Framework Based on Misclassified Samples for Intrusion Detection Systems
(2023-12-01)In our digitally interconnected world, the demand for robust security measures has become increasingly apparent, given the escalating threat of cyberattacks on the Internet. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) have emerged ... -
The Meaning of the Breastfeeding Experience for Mothers in Critical Care
(2015)A small percentage of women will require hospitalization in a critical care unit during the postpartum period, and breastfeeding is a goal for many of these mothers. Critical care units are staffed by highly skilled health ... -
"A Means to Every End" Ideas of Union in Upper Canada, 1822-1842
(2017-08-08)This thesis explores debates over inter-colonial union in the Upper Canadian public sphere from 1822 to 1842. In doing so, it examines the emergence of a distinct settler society through its political culture and constitutional ... -
MEASUREMENT ERROR DECONVOLUTION METHODS AND RANK SELECTION FOR NON-NEGATIVE MATRIX FACTORIZATION WITH APPLICATIONS IN MICROBIOME DATA
(2022-08-25)Learning the structure of microbial communities is critical in understanding the different community structures and functions of microbes in distinct individuals. We view microbial communities as consisting of many ... -
