▼ The purpose of this project is to create a simplifiedtool for urban planning, to illustrate how differentparameters affect each other. The municipality ofUppsala and the company Atkins have investigatedthe possibility to implement several themes andaspects in a digital tool. Since urban planning has acomplex structure, only a few aspects are selectedin this report. This is a case study which examineshow an implementation of a carpool in a residentialarea affects the parameters ground use, carbondioxide emissions and social aspects such asridesharing and car ownership. A model has beencreated in MATLAB to visualize the environmentalimpact of a carpool compared to traditional parking.The results show that the environmental impactdecreases as the number of cars in the areadecreases. Further, the sensitivity analysis showsthat social factors may have a great impact on theenvironmental aspects. A decreased car usage andincreased ridesharing, where only traditional parkingis used, can result in an environmental improvementalmost corresponding to an area with only a carpoolsolution with the current car usage and ridesharing.

▼ Surgical ventricular reconstruction aims to restore the ideal left ventricular geometry and function and is used as a treatment modality for patients with severe ischemic cardiomyopathy. This study addresses the clinical need for in-silico modelling to estimate the effect of left ventricular reconstruction through Revivent Myocardial Anchoring System on the function and geometry of the residual left ventricle. The planning tool developed in this study corrects for slice misalignment produced due to breathing motion and patient movement during Cardiac MR image acquisition. The extent and the location of the scar are identified on the contrast enhanced Cardiac MR images and subsequently used to classify the left ventricular short axis contour points into scarred and healthy segments. The reconstruction surgery is simulated by estimating each short axis contour of the residual LV as a circle obtained from the healthy segment. Functional analysis consisted of comparing the simulated residual left ventricular volumes at end-diastolic and end-systolic phase, stroke volume and ejection fraction with the baseline characteristics. Geometrical analysis consisted of quantifying the occlusion of the Right Ventricular Outflow Tract by the plicated scar and comparing the curvedness values of the residual LV with two geometrical models - Modified Simpson’s Model and Biplane Ellipsoid model. The required functional end-points are met for all four patients. A more localized approach is required for the geometrical analysis. The presented approach shows promising results but needs to be clinically validated by comparing with a larger database of post surgical scans to obtain higher accuracy and a more comprehensive understanding of the surgery.

▼ An objective of emergency responders is to safely transport crash victims from crash sites to medical facilities. Ensuring adequate access is an important goal of highway safety professionals. This study proposes a proof of concept for a
planning tool that evaluates this access in the Commonwealth of Virginia. This study focuses on serious injury crash sites because the number of serious injuries and serious injury rate are now included as reportable safety performance measures for state highway safety agencies. Travel times from serious injury crash sites to medical facilities are used to identify areas that do not have timely access. Risk and mitigation assessments are performed by dividing the study area into equal sized cells. Risk and mitigation assessments are based on number of crashes and response travel times to the closest medical facility, respectively. These assessments are used to generate a proof of concept for a crash response
planning tool which enables planners to identify areas that do not have timely access from crash sites to medical facilities.

▼ Computer-aided fixture
planning (CAFP) is an essential part of Computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) integration. Proper fixture
planning can dramatically reduce the manufacturing cost, the lead-time, and labor skill requirements in product manufacturing. However, fixture
planning is a highly experience-based activity. Due to the extreme diversity and complexity of manufacturing workpieces and processes, there are not many fixture
planning tools available for industry applications. Moreover, existing CAFP methods rarely consider integrating fixture environmental factors into fixture
planning. Automatic fixture
planning using VR can provide a viable way for industries.
This thesis develops automated approaches to fixture
planning in a virtual environment (VE). It intends to address two important issues: automatic algorithms for fixture
planning, and the VE to support high fidelity evaluation of fixture
planning. The system consists of three parts including fixture assembly
planning, feasibility analysis of assembly tools, and motion
planning for fixture loading and unloading. The virtual fixture
planning system provides the fixture designer a
tool for fixture
planning and evaluation. Geometrical algorithms are developed to facilitate the automatic reasoning.
A Web-based VE for fixture
planning is implemented. The three-dimensional (3D) model visualization enables the fixture simulation and validation effectively to investigate existing problems. Approaches to construct desktop-based large VEs are also investigated. Cell segmentation methods and dynamic loading strategies are investigated to improve the rendering performance. Case studies of virtual building navigation and product assembly simulations are conducted.
The developed algorithms can successfully generate the assembly plan, validate the assembly tools, and generate moving paths for fixture design and applications. The VE is intuitive and sufficient to support fixture
planning, as well as other virtual design and manufacturing tasks.

▼ Engineering activities by nature are collaborative endeavors. Single-user applications like CAD, CAE, and CAM force a strictly serial design process, which ultimately lengthens time to market. New multi-user applications such as NXConnect address the issue during the design stage of the product development process by enabling users to work in parallel. Multi-user collaborative tool path planning software addresses the same serial limitations in tool path planning, thereby decreasing cost and increasing the quality of manufacturing processes. As part complexity increases, lead times are magnified by serial workflows. Multi-user tool path planning can shorten the process planning time. But, to be effective, it must be possible to intelligently decompose the manufacturing sequence and distribute path planning assignments among several users. A new method of process decomposition is developed and described in this research. A multi-user CAM (MUCAM) prototype was developed to test the method. The decomposition process and MUCAM prototype together were used to manufacture a part to verify the method.

▼ Since the container revolution in the mid-sixties and the scale increase it caused, seaports face changing technological developments and economic circumstances. Terminal operators and port authorities have to deal with an increasing number of uncertainties. Especially in container transport competition plays a major role. Containers have a relative large mobility and container transportation routes are less bounded to modalities, ports and logistic chains. As a consequence the substitutability of ports is considerable. Port selection within the logistic chain is part of the selection of the logistic chain which is the primary choice. The market power of shipping companies has been enhanced to the extent that they have gained control of logistic chains. The capacity of container carriers is still growing and as long as there is enough freight to transport they tend to call at less and less ports. There are huge challenges for container ports and their terminals to remain competitive and to handle the anticipated growth with an increase of their productivity, a reduction of port congestion (e.g. Maasvlakte II) and improvement of their hinterland accessibility (e.g. the Betuweline). The overall objective of this research is to provide port authorities with a
tool to support their strategic investment
planning in a competitive market. The
tool should provide port authorities with information on the impacts of, structural and non-structural, capacity improvement measures on the future demand for container service. The present thesis contributes to this objective by the development of the Port Competition Model, a supporting
planning tool. The port can be considered a node in a transport network with competition, which faces a dynamic situation concerning the timing and sizing of capacity expansions of other ports and changes in the transport network. The challenge is to incorporate the aspects of the full dynamics of port competition over the network in the Port Competition Model by simulation of the competitive strategies of other ports and the sensitivity of decisions on port investment for such strategies. To this end the Port Competition Model needs to represent varying market shares over the years in order to reflect strategies of other ports. When port
planning is based on varying market shares of competitive ports it can be defined as "dynamic port
planning". The focus of this research is the reaction of a particular port on a change in the transportation network. A scenario for such change is the entry of new routes via a competing port. This leads to decreased demands and benefits for the particular port. Potential reactions of the ports on this change include investment in port expansion and improvement of hinterland connections. The expansion of a port's surface area takes a central place in this research. The density of ports in Northwest Europe is the highest in the world. This implies severe competition. Four of the five biggest European ports are situated within the Hamburg - Le Havre range: Rotterdam,…

▼ Along with the growth of electricity demand and the penetration of intermittent renewable energy sources, electric power distribution networks will face more and more stress conditions, especially as electric vehicles (EVs) take a greater share in the personal automobile market. This may cause potential transformer overloads, feeder congestions, and undue circuit failures.
Demand response (DR) is gaining attention as it can potentially relieve system stress conditions through load management. DR can possibly defer or avoid construction of large-scale power generation and transmission infrastructures by improving the electric utility load factor. This dissertation proposes to develop a
planning tool for electric utilities that can provide an insight into the implementation of demand response at the end-user level. The proposed
planning tool comprises control algorithms and a simulation platform that are designed to intelligently manage end-use loads to make the EV penetration transparent to an electric power distribution network. The proposed
planning tool computes the demand response amount necessary at the circuit/substation level to alleviate the stress condition due to the penetration of EVs. Then, the demand response amount is allocated to the end-user as a basis for appliance scheduling and control.
To accomplish the dissertation objective, electrical loads of both residential and commercial customers, as well as EV fleets, are modeled, validated, and aggregated with their control algorithms proposed at the appliance level.
A multi-layer demand response model is developed that takes into account both concerns from utilities for load reduction and concerns from consumers for convenience and privacy. An analytic hierarchy process (AHP)-based approach is put forward taking into consideration opinions from all stakeholders in order to determine the priority and importance of various consumer groups.
The proposed demand response strategy takes into consideration dynamic priorities of the load based on the consumersâ real-time needs. Consumer comfort indices are introduced to measure the impact of demand response on consumersâ life style. The proposed indices can provide electric utilities a better estimation of the customer acceptance of a DR program, and the capability of a distribution circuit to accommodate EV penetration.
Research findings from this work indicate that the proposed demand response strategy can fulfill the task of peak demand reduction with different EV penetration levels while maintaining consumer comfort levels. The study shows that the higher number of EVs in the distribution circuit will result in the higher DR impacts on consumersâ comfort. This indicates that when EV numbers exceed a certain threshold in an area, other measures besides demand response will have to be taken into account to tackle the peak demand growth.
The proposed
planning tool is expected to provide an insight into the implementation of demand response at the end-user level. It can be used to estimate demand…

▼ One of the approach used for tool path generation for Bézier surfaces is the Multipoint machining (MPM) approach, in which the toroidal cutter touches the machined surface at two points of contact. Multipoint machining helps in reducing the machining time by providing the tool path data that machines the surface in wider strips positioning the tool in the close proximity to the surface. The tool path generation using MPM is computationally expensive and time consuming, as it involves the solving of non-linear transcendental equations that require numerical methods. Numerical method such as Newton’s method are a time consuming and iterative process, and are not always able to give a solution. In this work, two methods, the ‘Drop, Rotate and Drop (DRD) method’ and the ‘Vertical and Circular Ray Firing (VCRF) method’, are developed, implemented and tested on bi-cubic Bézier surfaces using a Hi-Dyn tilt-rotary simultaneous five axis machining center. These methods follow the Multipoint machining approach. The DRD method limits the use of Newton’s method for convergence to the solution of two unknowns or variables. Whereas, the VCRF eliminates the use of Newton’s method for obtaining the solution and instead uses the implicit equations for firing the rays vertical or circular from the surface towards the toroidal cutter surface. Hence, the methods developed in this work give a fast and robust approach for generating tool path data for the Bézier surfaces.

▼ This research presents a methodology to automatically select cutters and generate
tool paths for all stages in 3-axis CNC Milling of free-form surfaces. Tools are selected and
tool paths are planned in order to minimize the total machining time. A generalized cutter geometry model is used to define available cutters and an arbitrary milling surface is initially defined by a triangular mesh.
The decisions made by process engineers in selecting cutting geometry and generating
tool paths for milling dramatically influence the final result. Often, the resulting
tool path is non-optimal, because the engineers cannot consider all the available information. However, making these decisions can be delegated to a computing system that can find a better result.
The developed methodology selects the cutters to use for milling from the set of all available cutters, assigns milling zones to every selected cutter, based on its performance, and builds iso-scallop and contour parallel
tool paths for every cutter and its milling zone. After generating all
tool paths for both milling stages (rough milling and finishing), the
tool selection sequence is defined and all the
tool paths for one
tool are connected into the single
tool path. The
tool paths should be connected in the best possible manner in order to minimize the time of CNC non-cutting motions. This is similar to the travelling salesman problem with constraints. A heuristics solution is provided here. At the end, the total machining time for one
tool set is calculated. Finally, the set of cutters used is changed to minimize the total machining time.
A digital, voxel-based model is used to represent a workpiece and the available tools. This model is selected so that the algorithms is simpler and they can be easily paralleled for thousands of computing cores. The parallel processing framework is implemented to work with multiple graphics processing units.
Tool paths generated from this framework are post-processed into G-code and the representative part is machined.

▼ O Planejamento Estratégico corresponde a um ferramenta de gestão amplamente utilizada pelas organizações. No entanto, a implementação dessa ferramenta pode provocar mudanças na estrutura organizacional da empresa. Em função dessas mudanças, para iniciar um processo de formulação e implementação estratégica é necessário levar em conta os aspectos relacionados à cultura da organização, pois, da mesma forma que os aspectos culturais são influenciados pelo processo de mudanças, eles influenciam nas decisões estratégicas. Devido à necessidade de levantar informações sobre a cultura da organização que possibilitem aumentar a eficácia do Planejamento Estratégico, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo identificar e analisar os aspectos culturais que contribuem para a implementação do Planejamento Estratégico. Para abarcar o objetivo proposto utilizou-se a metodologia de estudo de caso, de abordagem qualitativa e caráter descritivo. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semi-estruturadas, cuja análise foi realizada através da metodologia proposta por Moraes (2003). Os aspectos culturais foram estudados com base no modelo de Trompenaars (1994), o qual sugere a análise do perfil cultural de uma organização através de sete dimensões, sendo cinco delas relacionadas aos relacionamentos e regras, uma com a forma como a empresa gerencia o tempo e uma relacionada à sua relação com a natureza. Os resultados obtidos evidenciaram que os aspectos culturais constituem uma importante variável de estudo quando se pretende implementar uma ferramenta de gestão. No caso do Planejamento Estratégico as dimensões Universalismo x Particularismo; Coletivismo x Individualismo; Difuso x Específico; Sincrônica x Sequencial foram as que se revelaram de maior influencia para a eficácia da ferramenta.
The strategic planning corresponds to a management tool widely used by the organizations. However, the implementation of such tool may bring about structural changes on the enterprise organization. Due to those changes, to start a formulation and strategic implementation it is necessary to take into consideration aspects related to the organization culture, because just as the cultural aspects are influenced by the changing process, they also influence on the strategic decisions. For the need of gathering information on the organization culture which enable the increasing on the Strategic Planning effectiveness , this research has the aim to identify and examine the cultural aspects which contribute to the implementation of the Strategic Planning. To achieve the proposed objective it was used the case study methodology, of qualitative approach and descriptive literature. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews whose analysis was accomplished through methodology suggested by Moraes (2003). The cultural aspects were studied based on the Trompenaars (1994) patterns, who suggests the culture profile analysis in an organization through seven extents, being five of them related to relationships and rules, one about the way the enterprise…

▼ Cutting
tool selection is one of the important stages in Computer Aided Process
Planning (CAPP) that integrates Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM). Cutting
tool selection is a decision making stage in process
planning that provides input to CAM for CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) code generation. Most of the state-of-art CAM systems still require a human process
planning engineer to manually look after catalogues and manuals for selecting appropriate tools for machining a pocket geometry. This consumes a significant amount of time in process
planning and hence, cutting
tool selection can be considered a bottleneck stage. Also, in order to machine pockets, a process planner has to select more than two tools for optimizing the cutting time and to reduce the
tool wear. We consider multiple cutting
tool selection problem in this thesis. Since the cutting time is dependent upon several factors like step-over (radial depth of cut), step-down (axial depth of cut),
tool geometry, feature geometry, feed rate, cost, etc, multiple cutting
tool selection becomes highly constrained and large scaled problem. Using one small
tool to machine a feature can eliminate un-machined and gouged areas inside the feature geometry. However, the material removal rate for a small
tool is very low and hence consumes a lot of time and incur high production costs. Large tools are known to have higher machine removal rates despite maintaining un-machined areas. Hence, a trade-off or optimization solution is necessary between large and small tools from tools database in order to optimize the fitness function (cost or time taken to manufacture) while machining 2.5-D pocket geometries. In this thesis, feasible tools from the tools library are determined by generating accessible areas of the pocket feature geometries which are inputs from a process
planning system. A new approach to open pocket accessible area generation is discussed. The variation of optimal tools sequence by using open pocket approach in place of normal accessible area generation approach is discussed in the results. Decomposable areas are generated which compute the areas traversed by a
tool provided another large
tool has already machined the pocket feature. Then optimal
tool sequences are determined by using optimization algorithms. Two different optimization routines are explained in this thesis. The first is using Dijkstra’s algorithm which generates exact optimal
tool sequences but take a lot of computation time. The second is using genetic algorithm which generates near to optimal solution, however, the computation time is less compared to Dijkstra’s approach. The variation of cutting
tool sequences and computation times with these optimization algorithms are presented in the test cases. Also, the variation of
tool sequence with different feed rates that impact the cutting
tool life has been discussed in the results.

▼ The demand for forensic social work as a specialist field is increasing rapidly, due to the increasing moral decline of the community and consequent higher demands set to generic social workers. Amendments to existing acts as well as the development of new legislation, lead to more opportunity for the prosecution of the perpetrator, and therefore a higher utilization of the forensic social worker.
A need was experienced to do research regarding the gaps experienced by social workers or any other workers who are currently executing forensic assessments with the sexually traumatised child.
The aim of the investigation was to determine which gaps social workers experience in the field when assessing a child forensically.
A recording procedure was used to obtain qualitative as well as quantitative data.
A purposive sampling was used were interviews were held with five participants to obtain the data. A selfdeveloped questionnaire was used as measuring instrument.
It is clear from the findings that there are definite gaps within the field of forensic social work and the need of further research within the field of forensic social work in South Africa is highlighted.

▼ Since the first CAPP (Computer Aided Process Planning) came out in the
1960’s, it has improved the performance of machining significantly. However,
traditional process planning is established on the basis of a sequential
information flow, which cannot easily be adapted to a dynamic manufacturing
environment.
DPP (Distributed Process Planning) was proposed for dynamic shop floor
management for Function Blocks (Wang et al., 2003). Function Blocks, as
described by the open standard IEC 61499, are used for distributed control and
automation (International Electrotechnical Commission, 2005). The final goal of
DPP is to develop an intelligent system which can respond to any event on
shop floor rapidly and dynamically.
The tool path, which determines the movement of a tool in machining operation,
is an important part of process planning.
In the past, a tool path was generated and used in a static manner (G-code), i.e.
once created the path was not varied to adapt to major changes on the actual
shop floor.
As a result, it is essential to build a knowledge model that can adapt tool paths
rapidly in a dynamic environment.
The developed rules and recommendations can contributed to people who have
less experience about NC tool path. Moreover, the research methodology could
be used for other general research in knowledge capture and knowledge
presentation.

▼ Emery and Clayton (2004) proposed that corvids (e.g. crows, ravens, jays) may have evolved – convergently with apes – flexible and domain general cognitive tool-kits. In a similar vein, others have suggested that coleoid cephalopods (octopus, cuttlefish, squid) may have developed complex cognition convergently with large-brained vertebrates but current evidence is not sufficient to fully evaluate these propositions. The aim of my thesis is to gain further insight into these issues.
My first objective is to further our understanding of how deep the cognitive convergence between corvids and apes may be. To this end I report four empirical studies exploring cognitive complexity among different domains in a single species of corvids, the Eurasian jay (Garrulus glandarius). In Chapter 2, I investigate physical problem solving, finding that jays cannot spontaneously select functional tools according to their physical properties (i.e. size, shape) but can use novel tools – sticks – to solve a familiar task. In Chapter 3, I test whether future oriented caching in jays is underpinned by future planning abilities or by spontaneous predispositions; data do not support either hypotheses. In Chapters 4 and 5, I focus on social cognition. I find no indication that jays can integrate the visual perspective and current desire of competitors to protect their caches. Surprisingly, jays could also not respond to either of the two social cues independently, thus questioning the reliability of previously reported caching strategies.
My second objective is to lay theoretical and methodological groundwork for studying convergent cognitive evolution between cephalopods and large-brained vertebrates. Therefore, in Chapter 6 I propose an evolutionary hypothesis for the emergence of large brains and behavioural flexibility in cephalopods and put forward novel paradigms that may allow researchers to explore the cognitive underpinning of octopus’ complex behaviours.
I conclude by discussing the implication of my findings and future directions for the study of convergent cognitive evolution in corvids and cephalopods.

▼ In the Netherlands the goal of the government is to increase the amount of electricity produced from wind turbines on land to 6000 MW by 2020. This ambitious goal asks for a different approach for these projects, because with the classic approach the development is too slow and invokes too much resistance in the local community. The largest delays during the development of wind parks are caused by problems during the decision-making process. To increase the speed and keep all involved actors on board the decision-making process can be managed by a process manager. Because this is a very complex task, the process manager might need support during the process. Although different models are made that calculate the business case of a wind park, there is no
tool available that sees a wind park project as a process in which all important actors are included. Existing models look at a wind park from the eye of the project developer, such as the business case model of Agentschap NL (Veghel, 2013). In this research we will not be looking at one actor, but we will take a multi-actor approach. Only financial aspects are included in the existing models, while the processes are including much more than only financial aspects. In these decision-making projects the influence of the park on the surroundings, the risk of participation options, and the development of the region are only a few of the issues present. Therefore in addition to the multi-actor character of the
tool we will include more aspects to the
tool than just the financial aspect. The absence of literature describing the causes of the slow progress in decision-making processes of wind-on-land projects in the Netherlands led to the following research question; How can the problematic aspects during the decision-making process of wind-on-land projects be managed? To answer this question we have to identify the problematic aspects, the requirements of good process management and the products of decision-making. After that we can look to the
tool and therefore the following design question was developed; How can a process-support
tool help the decision-making process of wind-on-land processes? To answer the research question we reviewed literature, conducted expert interviews and analyzed the cases of Deil, Houten, Dronten en Nijmegen. The Deil case has been extensively analyzed, because we participated in the process of decision-making in multiple rounds. To review the prototype of the
tool we interviewed the actors involved in wind park Deil, including the two process managers. This gave us the input for revising and adding aspects of the
tool. The Decision-Making Processes The slow progress of this decision-making process is caused by the lack of trust among the actors, the lack of available information of the actors and the different languages the actors speak. The negotiation rounds during this process are taking a lot of time, because, due to the problems mentioned, actors are not able to decide on the complex aspects of the three products of decision-making,…

▼ The project consists of developing new housing for the residents of Papaquara, 191 people who lived in a favela until early2011, when they were evicted and had their houses demolished by the local government while their settlement was severely flooded. This new housing project, which is firmly grounded in real circumstances, builds upon research on irregular autoconstructed settlements, their architectural characteristics and specifically the temporal aspect of how spatial qualities are constructed in such areas. The architecture presented in the final proposal is an upgraded version of a favela house core that facilitates incremental add-ons, in a typology called urban field house.

▼ This dissertation focuses on three new methods for calculating visibility and accessibility, which contribute directly to the precise planning of setup and toolpaths in a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining process. They include 1) an approximate visibility determination method; 2) an approximate accessibility determination method and 3) a hybrid visibility determination method with an innovative computation time reduction strategy. All three methods are intended for polyhedral models.
First, visibility defines the directions of rays from which a surface of a 3D model is visible. Such can be used to guide machine tools that reach part surfaces in material removal processes. In this work, we present a new method that calculates visibility based on 2D slices of a polyhedron. Then we show how visibility results determine a set of feasible axes of rotation for a part. This method effectively reduces a 3D problem to a 2D one and is embarrassingly parallelizable in nature. It is an approximate method with controllable accuracy and resolution. The method’s time complexity is linear to both the number of polyhedron’s facets and number of slices. Lastly, due to representing visibility as geodesics, this method enables a quick visible region identification technique which can be used to locate the rough boundary of true visibility.
Second, tool accessibility defines the directions of rays from which a surface of a 3D model is accessible by a machine tool (a tool’s body is included for collision avoidance). In this work, we present a method that computes a ball-end tool’s accessibility as visibility on the offset surface. The results contain all feasible orientations for a surface instead of a Boolean answer. Such visibility-to-accessibility conversion is also compatible with various kinds of facet-based visibility methods.
Third, we introduce a hybrid method for near-exact visibility. It incorporates an exact visibility method and an approximate visibility method aiming to balance computation time and accuracy. The approximate method is used to divide the visibility space into three subspaces; the visibility of two of them are fully determined. The exact method is then used to determine the exact visibility boundary in the subspace whose visibility is undetermined. Since the exact method can be used alone to determine visibility, this method can be viewed as an efficiency improvement for it. Essentially, this method reduces the processing time for exact computation at the cost of introducing approximate computation overhead. It also provides control over the ratio of exact-approximate computation.

▼ Computers are preferred above humans when dealing with information processing because of the great memory and fast computing times. The use of algorithms within complex
planning processes is an interesting research field. These algorithms should help human planners with the
planning process and therefore are called
Planning Assistance Tools (PAT). However, the implementation of a PAT often fails because of the lack of acceptance by human planners. The lack of acceptance is often linked to the fact of human aspects that are missing within the PAT. This research provides a methodology to identify the missing aspects using a developed PAT, real-life
planning assignments and experienced planners within the railway node
planning. Based upon empirical experiments, a list of aspects is formulated that are translated to extensions that are implemented in the PAT. The application of such a method to a real-life case has not yet been mentioned in literature before. The research proves that the implementations have a positive effect on the quality of the solution provided by the PAT, while not harming the performance of the solution. Planners seem to better understand the solution of the PAT and the decisions made by the PAT, which increases the level of trust and the level of acceptance. The method used to identify aspects and implement them might be applicable within the industry for
planning tools that are already developed, but not yet implemented because of missing acceptance of human planners.

▼ Site layout
planning is crucial for enhancing the overall efficiency of construction operations and for reducing materials (re)location costs. More importantly, it helps identify construction time periods with potential spatial conflicts due to limited space so that they can be avoided in early project plans. This research develops an integrated scheduler and space planner, MoveSchedule, that adjusts an initial project schedule to comply with site space limitations in the process of accommodating resource space needs as they change over time. MoveSchedule solves a constrained dynamic layout problem with the objective of minimizing resource transportation and relocation costs. Two-dimensional geometric constraints between relative positions of resources are being considered. Four different space profiles describe variations in resource space needs over time. The timing of these needs is inferred from the activity schedule. The layout construction algorithm that underlies MoveSchedule uses Constraint Satisfaction to find the set of all positions that meet the constraints on resources' positions and Linear Programming to find the optimal positions that minimize resource transportation and relocation costs. The solution is a sequence of layouts that describe changes in resource positions at discrete points in time corresponding to arrival and departure times of resources to and from site. When no solution is found, i.e., when the resources needed in a given time period cannot be accommodated on site without violating constraints on their positions, MoveSchedule adjusts durations or start dates of activities to lower the total space need over the problematic time period. MoveSchedule establishes a time-space relationship for each activity in the schedule based on alternative resource levels so that tradeoffs between activity duration and space need on site are possible. The resource levels describe different methods or crew-sizes for performing the activity. Two example applications of MoveSchedule illustrate other areas of application of the use of MoveSchedule for optimally solving a MINISUM location problem with constraints on acceptable locations of the new facility, and for evaluating and choosing between alternative material delivery schedules. MoveSchedule is validated using realistic project data and its solution is qualitatively assessed by an experienced engineer on that project.

▼ Mestrado em Engenharia de Telecomunicações e Informática
O trabalho desenvolvido nesta dissertação visa propor um algoritmo para o planeamento do sistema de comunicações móveis LTE (Long-Term Evolution). O algoritmo apresentado evidencia as alterações necessárias a aplicar a uma ferramenta já implementada da Alcatel-Lucent, A9155, para o planeamento do sistema WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access), por forma a utilizar a mesma plataforma da ferramenta de planeamento.
Para compreender as alterações a aplicar à ferramenta foi analisado o sistema de comunicações móveis LTE e as principais técnicas utilizadas neste sistema, comparando-as com o sistema de comunicações móveis WiMAX. Escolheu-se modelos de propagação e tráfego a considerar na ferramenta de planeamento.
Desenvolveu-se um algoritmo que consiste em analisar as necessidades dos utilizadores da rede e os serviços que estes utilizam de modo a obter a capacidade necessária por célula. Este algoritmo permite a opção de obter uma dada capacidade necessária para um conjunto de utilizadores, ou, como alternativa obter a capacidade, quando existe constrangimento económico para a implementação da rede.
The work developed in this dissertation aims to propose an algorithm for the planning of a LTE mobile communication system. The presented algorithm demonstrates the necessary changes to apply to an existent Alcatel-Lucent tool, A9155, for the WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) mobile communication system, in order to use the same platform.
The LTE mobile communication system and its techniques were analyzed and compared to the WiMAX mobile communication system, in order to understand the changes needed. Propagation and traffic models were chosen for the planning tool.
It was developed an algorithm that analyzes the network users needs and the services they user, in order to obtain the required capacity per cell. This algorithm allows the option of obtaining required capacity for a given set of users, or, the capacity when there is an economic constraint to the implementation of the network.

▼ Les éco-quartiers contribuent, depuis la fin du XXe siècle, à l'essor d'un modèle de ville durable à travers le monde. Cependant, si les grands principes théoriques du développement durable font relativement consensus à l'échelle internationale, les modalités de leur application au niveau local sont multiples et diverses. Suite à ce constat, de nombreux acteurs déploient dès la fin des années 2000 des référentiels de suivi et d'évaluation des éco-quartiers. Ces derniers permettent d'orienter la conception et la construction des quartiers durables tout en justifiant les choix retenus, et ce grâce à la mesure de leur performance selon plusieurs critères consensuels et mesurables dans le temps. Ces référentiels, conçus à l'échelle locale et souvent standardisés, sont en outre susceptibles d'être exportés à l'international, indépendamment du milieu naturel et culturel dans lequel ils s'appliquent. Ceci représente un paradoxe vis à vis du concept de développement durable qui promeut l'intégration des projets à un territoire spécifique. Aussi, le travail de thèse interroge l'impact des référentiels d'évaluation sur l'intégration territoriale des éco-quartiers au travers de l'analyse de trois études de cas en France, aux Etats-Unis et au Brésil: Clichy Batignolles localisé à Paris et labellisé EcoQuartier, Melrose Commons développé à New York et certifié LEED-ND, et llha Pura construit à Rio de Janeiro à la fois certifié LEED-ND et AQUA -HQE-A. Notre étude examine également succinctement un quatrième cas, le quartier de Vinhomes Riverside ayant reçu le prix de l'architecture ve1te du Vietnam et construit à Hanoï, dont l'étude n'a pu être complètement aboutie faute d'accès à des données essentielles à notre analyse. Nous énonçons le postulat qu'il existe des divergences entre les objectifs de performance fixés par le référentiel, ceux exigés par les acteurs du projet menant à une évaluation donnée, et enfin la réalité de l'éco-quartier une fois construit au sein d'un territoire plus large. Ces divergences sont particulièrement fortes en cas d'export du référentiel. Elles sont en outre mesurables et témoignent de différences de niveau d'intégration. Aussi, notre recherche s'appuie sur la comparaison des cas selon trois phases à savoir: 1) le choix du référentiel 2) l'évaluation du projet d'éco-quartier par le référentiel dont il estime la performance, et enfin 3) le résultat opérationnel, c'est à dire l'écoquartier construit. La méthodologie de recherche est multidisciplinaire et déploie des outils associés aux statistiques, à l'ingénierie du territoire, à la géographie, mais aussi à l'analyse architecturale, urbaine et paysagère. Nous observons que les référentiels s'appuient sur diverses stratégies relatives à la sélection et à la mesure d'indicateurs permettant de planifier l'intégration du quartier au sein d'un territoire donné. Cette intégration est néanmoins extrêmement variable non seulement en fonction des critères et des échelles d'analyse choisis, mais aussi des jeux d'acteurs qui adaptent leur démarche aux…

▼ The manufacturing industry must align business values with sustainability to preserve a healthy socio-ecological environment, that ensures access for future generations to necessary resources. To better understand the interactions between business strategies and facility operations, this research aims to adopt a more holistic perspective of sustainable facility planning processes, applying the Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development. By using relevant environmental and social principles, methods, knowledge, and industrial practices, a strategic decision support was developed as a foundation for the manufacturing industry to improve their sustainable performance. This research (1) collected and analysed existing concepts and processes for sustainability in the industry; (2) developed a practical decision support tool; (3) reviewed the design by experts in the field; and (4) redesigned the tool by implementing expert recommendations. Based on the findings, it is crucial for decision makers to embed a strategic and holistic approach when considering facility design options. Therefore, the strategic decision support tool (CRAFTS) enables opportunities for a broader scope of possible improvements within the confines of the manufacturing facility by guiding experts in the field to decide between retrofitting and new construction. CRAFTS supports the industry to refine and align their business strategies and facility operations with sustainability.

▼ Airline delays lead to a tremendous loss of time and resources and cost billions of dollars every year in the United States (U.S.). At certain times, individual airports become bottlenecks within the National Airspace System (NAS). To explore solutions for reducing the delay, it is essential to understand factors causing flight delay and its impact on airports in the NAS. Major causal factors of flight delay at airports include over-scheduling, en-route convective weather, reduced ceiling and visibility around airports, and upstream delay propagation. Delay at one airport can be passed on to other airports in the NAS, in another word, operational improvement at one airport will have network effect and benefit to other airports as well. Moreover delay at different airports in a region might agglomerate to cause delay at different regions in the NAS. Hence, to optimally allocate NAS resources, e.g. capital investment for airport capacity expansion, the impact of single airport delay to the NAS and vice versa need to be investigated and quantified.
For air transportation planning and policy purposes, this study concentrates on providing answers from a macroscopic point of view without being distracted by volatile operational details. In the first part, we estimate the interaction between flight delay at one single airport and delay at the rest of the NAS (RNAS) using case study for LaGuardia (LGA) and Chicago O'Hare (ORD) airports. In the second part, this research applies multivariate simultaneous regression models to quantify airport delay spillover effects across 34 of the 35 Operational Evolution Plan (OEP) airports and the RNAS. Observing the interactions between these two models, they are regressed with an econometric technique; three stage least square (3SLS). Thus, the regression results help us to determine the delay interactions between different airports and the RNAS and compare these airports based on delay propagation characteristics. Another significant contribution of this research is that, the estimated coefficients can be used for determining the marginal effects of all the delay causal factors presented in the model.
Also, regional airport system development has been a hot topic of research in the air transportation community in recent years. Many metropolitan regions are served with more than one airport making their operations synchronized and interdependent and are known as regional airport system. This paper studies nine different prospective regions with multi-airport systems in the U.S. and identifies various key factors affecting the delay in these regions. Econometrics models and three stage least square (3SLS) estimation method are used to explore interdependency of delay at the multi-airport system and the RNAS. Along with it, different factors affecting delay at the system and the RNAS is being identified from the research. The outcomes from this research will help aviation planners understand the spillover effects of delays from multi-airport systems and provide decision…

▼ Celem pracy było zbadanie udziału sieci reprezentującej praksję (praxis representation network, PRN) – zbioru lewopółkulowych obszarów mózgu związanych z kontrolą umiejętnych, celowych działań manualnych – w przygotowywaniu działań, które dotyczyły znanych narzędzi, ale motywowane były różnymi, zarówno funkcjonalnymi, jak i niefunkcjonalnymi celami. Dwudziestu silnie praworęcznych uczestników wzięło udział w serii dwóch eksperymentów z wykorzystaniem funkcjonalnego obrazowania metodą rezonansu magnetycznego. Zadaniem osób badanych było zaplanowanie, a następnie wykonanie pantomimy chwytania/sięgania w kierunku narzędzi z różnymi intencjami.
Wyniki analiz pokazały, że kluczowe węzły PRN były bardziej zaangażowane w planowanie działań, które nie dotyczyły użycia narzędzi. Było tak niezależnie od ręki, którą wykonywano zadanie. Powyższe ustalenia wskazują, że modulacje aktywności w obszarach brzuszno-grzbietowych PRN są wrażliwe na te z aspektów wykonania zadania, które są bardziej wymagające pod względem poznawczym. Niniejsza praca wnosi wkład do dziedziny neuronauki poznawczej, rzucając nowe światło na to, w jaki sposób zamierzone efekty końcowe działań, w połączeniu z ograniczeniami narzuconymi przez zadanie, wpływają na percepcję afordancji przedmiotów oraz do jakiego stopnia modulują one aktywność fMRI w ciemieniowo-czołowych sieciach związanych z działaniami oraz poza nimi.

▼ Purpose - The purpose of this research was to investigate the adoption of ERP tool by employees within a product manufacturing organization. Design/methodology/approach - In order to fully achieve the research task, the authors applied a qualitative case study that was descriptively designed. During data collection processes, primary and secondary data were utilized as information resources. The primary data obtained were multiple in-depth and semi-structured interviews performed with fifteen (15) employees over the course of an empirical investigation. While secondary data were, information obtain through various scientific articles, case organization’s webpage and other resourceful ones. Finally, convenient sampling method was used during identification and selection of respondents that were highly resourceful to the case study. Findings - An identification from the empirical data obtained highlighted some likely impediments to technological innovation adoption. More often, constraints to innovation adoption are not always individual factors but rather frequently organizational ones which can hinder employees’ from promptly adopting new innovations in various working environments. Research limitations/implications - Future research is proposed to measure the effect of employees’ adoption of technology innovation can have on an organization’s industrial performance. Furthermore, in order to encourage rapid adoption of innovation within an organization, recognitions and praises to employees whom are making good efforts is recommended. Personal recognitions from top managers to performing employees’ can persuade other employees to be more proactive in innovation utilization to obtain the same praise. Originality/Value - This study defines innovation adoption from an individual employee’s perspective as: an employee having a proper knowledge of the technology given to be used, personal acceptance of the technology, managerial empowerments to the employee and most importantly is an employee having the adequate ability to fully utilize the technological tool provided in order to fulfil the specific task. Keywords - Innovation, Adoption, Technology, IT Tool, Enterprise Resource Planning, Organization Factors and Individual Factors. Paper Type - Master’s Thesis

▼ L’étude présentée dans ce mémoire se focalise sur l’usinage de moules en matériaux composites, en considérant les problèmes d’état de surface et de gamme d’usinage. Les pièces de structure aéronautiques peuvent être obtenues par les procédés de fabrication de la famille LCM (Liquid Composite Molding). Ce procédé impose une température de fonctionnement élevée qui conduit à une dilatation du moule néfaste à la qualité de la pièce injectée. Pour remédier à ce problème, il est nécessaire de réaliser l’outillage dans un matériau à faible dilatation ou se comportant comme le matériau injecté. Pour cela, un matériau composite (Hextool™) est proposé en remplacement des moules métalliques conventionnels. L’étape d’usinage de forme est indispensable car elle donne les dimensions finales de l’outillage et conditionne le temps de polissage manuel nécessaire pour atteindre la rugosité arithmétique visée. Ce travail propose deux voies d’amélioration à travers l’étude micro-géométrique de l’opération de finition par outil coupant puis par outil abrasif. La première voie met en évidence l’existence d’une valeur minimale de rugosité accessible lors d’un usinage avec un outil coupant. L’analyse de ce phénomène permet de proposer une valeur de prise de passe radiale optimisant le ratio rugosité du moule / temps d’usinage. La deuxième conduit à la définition d’un outil abrasif utilisable sur un centre d’usinage. La faisabilité d’une telle opération et les capacités de cette technologie innovante sont discutées. Enfin, le choix des outils, des stratégies d’usinage et de la machine outil sont discutés et aboutissent à la proposition d’une gamme de référence pour l’usinage d’ébauche et de finition de moules en matériaux composites.
Presented research works deal with the milling of mold in composites materials, considering surface roughness and plan of procedure. Aeronautical structure parts could be produced by LCM (Liquid Composite Molding) processes. These processes induce high operating temperature for mold which is harmful for the dimensional quality of manufactured parts. In order to solve this problem, material with low heat elongation or with the same behavior as injected resin should be used for the mold. Thus, a composite material (Hextool ™) is proposed to replace conventional metallic molds. The milling operation produces the final dimensions of the tool and determines the time of manual polishing operation to reach the required arithmetic roughness. This work offers two ways of improvement through the study of micro-geometric surface finishing operation by cutting tool and then abrasive tool. The first way highlights the appearance of a minimum reachable value of roughness during machining with a cutting tool. The analysis of this phenomenon ensures to give an optimal value of radial depth of cut. Indeed, in this case, the best ratio surface quality / machining time is achieved. The second ensures to define an abrasive tool usable on a CNC machine tool. The feasibility of this operation and capabilities of this innovative…

▼ Most large cities around the world are undergoing rapid transport sector development to cater for increased urbanization. Subsequently the issues of mobility, access equity, congestion, operational safety and above all environmental sustainability are becoming increasingly crucial in transport planning and policy making. The popular response in addressing these issues has been demand management, through improvement of motorised public transport (MPT) modes (bus, train, tram) and non-motorized transport (NMT) modes (walk, bicycle); improved fuel technology.
Relatively little attention has however been given to another readily available and highly sustainable component of the urban transport system, non-motorized public transport (NMPT) such as the pedicab that operates on a commercial basis and serves as an NMT taxi; and has long standing history in many Asian cities; relatively stable in existence in Latin America; and reemerging and expanding in Europe, North America and Australia. Consensus at policy level on the apparent benefits, costs and management approach for NMPT integration has often been a major transport planning problem. Within this context, this research attempts to provide a more complete analysis of the current existence rationale and possible future, or otherwise, of NMPT as a regular public transport system.
The analytical process is divided into three major stages. Stage 1 reviews the status and role condition of NMPT as regular public transport on a global scale- in developing cities and developed cities. The review establishes the strong ongoing and future potential role of NMPT in major developing cities. Stage 2 narrows down the status review to a case study city of a developing country in order to facilitate deeper role review and status analysis of the mode.
Dhaka, capital city of Bangladesh, has been chosen due to its magnitude of NMPT presence. The review and analysis reveals the multisectoral and dominant role of NMPT in catering for the travel need of Dhaka transport users. The review also indicates ad-hoc, disintegrated policy planning in management of NMPT and the need for a planning framework to facilitate balanced integration between NMPT and MT in future.
Stage 3 develops an integrated, multimodal planning framework (IMPF), based on a four-step planning process. This includes defining the purpose and scope of the planning exercise, determining current deficiencies and preferred characteristics for the proposed IMPF, selection of suitable techniques to address the deficiencies and needs of the transport network while laying out the IMPF and finally, development of a delivery plan for the IMPF based on a selected layout technique and integration approach. The output of the exercise is a planning instrument (decision tool) that can be used to assign a road hierarchy in order to allocate appropriate traffic to appropriate network type, particularly to facilitate the operational balance between MT and NMT. The instrument is based on a partial restriction approach of motorised…

▼ The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the
effect of alternative cropping systems on farm net returns, and
nitrate-N and sediment yields in Thomas Brook Watershed (TBW). The
study involved integrated bio-physical and economic optimization
modelling. Crop yield and nitrate-N pollution response functions
were estimated and then used in trade-off analysis between farm
returns and environmental quality improvement. Five crop rotation
systems were evaluated for seven fertilizer levels under
conventional tillage (CT) and no-till systems (NT). Nitrate-N
leached, as well as estimated maximum economic rate of N (MERN)
fertilizer level and marginal abatement costs depended on crop
type, rotation system, and tillage type. The most cost effective
cropping systems that met restrictions on Health Canada maximum
limit on nitrate-N in water included corn-corn-corn-alfalfa-alfalfa
under NT for corn-based cropping systems, potato-winter
wheat-carrot-corn under CT for vegetable horticulture-based and
potato-barley-winter wheat-potato-corn under NT for potato-based
cropping systems.

A Pilot ACST, developed by a project partner within this study, was made for the City of Clarence-Rockland, Ontario, and consists of several maps showing delineated areas where there may be groundwater limitations in terms of quality or quantity. This study gathered the chemistry data needed for the Pilot ACST from 127 domestic dug and drilled wells. The results showed exceedances of provincial health and aesthetic standards, which were then used to delineate maps for the Pilot ACST. An evaluation of the necessary data source and sampling scale for ACST development revealed that data gathered from existing reports was inadequate for various reasons and sampling scale should be on a grid 2x2 km2 or smaller. Further recommendations were provided for future ACST development studies.
