Abstract:

Two methodologies are presented for analyzing the choice between centralized and decentralized energy infrastructures from a least-cost perspective. The first of these develops a novel minimum spanning tree network algorithm to approximate the shortest-length network that connects a given fraction of total system population. This algorithm is used to identify high priority locations for decentralized electrification in 150 countries. The second methodology utilizes a mixed-integer programming framework to determine the least-cost combination of centralized and decentralized electricity infr

Abstract:

Radio Frequency (RF) tomography refers to the process of inferring information about the contents of an environment via capturing and analyzing transmitted RF signals. Received Signal Strength (RSS) measurements acquired by the sensor nodes are analyzed to determine the location of certain obstructions in the environment. Therefore, a wireless sensor network can employ RF tomography for surveillance and monitoring in a environment. In this thesis, we introduce Compressed RF Tomography for monitoring via wireless sensor nodes, which requires fewer RSS measurements than non-com

The researchers investigated current Government VC initiatives, interviewed subject matter experts in the VC industry, and assessed how well the Government VC initiatives are poised t

Abstract:

Developing distributed applications typically requires to integrate new code with legacy third-party services, e.g., e-commerce facilities, maps, etc. These services cannot always be assumed to smoothly collaborate with each other; rather, they live in a “wild” environment where they must compete for resources, and possibly diverge from the expected behaviour if they find it convenient. To overcome these issues, some recent works have proposed to discipline the interaction of mutually distrusting services through behavioural contracts. In the first part of this dissertation, we exploit a theo

Abstract:

This paper constructs a model of a supply chain to examine how demand volatility is passed upstream through the chain. In particular, we seek to determine how likely it is that the chain experiences a bullwhip effect, where the variance of the upstream firm’s production exceeds the variance of the downstream firm’s sales. We show that the bullwhip effect is more likely to occur and is greater in size in supply chains in which inventory control is centralized rather than decentralized, that is, exercised by the downstream firm.

Abstract:

Os sistemas prediais de água não potável podem ser do tipo centralizado, quando os efluentes oriundos de diversas edificações são coletados e transportados para um único local de tratamento e redistribuídos para um conjunto de residências; ou descentralizado, quando a coleta, o tratamento e o transporte dos efluentes ocorrem próximos ao local de produção. Porém, tanto o sistema centralizado quanto o descentralizado possui particularidades que os fazem interessantes ou não em aspectos sociais, econômicos e ambientais. Desta forma, o objetivo principal desta pesquisa foi formular modelos matemát

Abstract:

La France s’est fondée autour des valeurs centralisatrices symbolisées par l’unité fiscale et la concentration du pouvoir sur sa capitale Paris. Depuis 2003 et la réforme constitutionnelle qui reconnaît l’organisation décentralisée, elle se retrouve face à sa contradiction : celle de revendiquer l’unité centralisatrice et d’admettre la décentralisation. Contrairement à la définition qui veut que la décentralisation se caractérise par le partage des compétences entre les collectivités locales et les autorités nationales, l’État décentralisé possède une logique propre distincte de l’État central

Abstract:

In this thesis, two systems are analyzed in order to gain insight to the following issues: (i) Effect of incentive, subsidy and penalty designs on decentralized system, (ii) effect of using production facility as pooled capacity (pooled system) and dedicated capacity (unpooled system) on capacity utilization and system profit. Regarding the first issue, three models are defined<br>decentralized model, centralized model and decentralized model with incentive, subsidy, penalty designs. In all models, there are two dealers and one item is under consideration and lateral transshipments are allowed

Abstract:

The majority of cloud storage platforms rely on a centralized structure, with the most popular being Microsoft Azure. Centralization causes consumers to rely on the provider to maintain accessibility and security of data. However, platforms such as Storj.io are based on a decentralized structure. To become decentralized, Storj.io uses blockchain technology in a means to create an automated consensus mechanism between the entities storing the data. There is however little research regarding performance and security issues on a decentralized platform based on blockchain technology. The purpose o

Abstract:

När fler människor flyttar ut till sina fritidshus och bor där hela året om bildas så kallade omvandlingsområden där användningen av vatten och avlopp förändras. Detta leder ofta till högre vattenanvändning och kraven på avloppssystemen ökar därmed. Det finns tre huvudtyper av lösningar som vanligtvis används för att möta kravet på bättre avloppssystem i omvandlingsområden: enskilda lösningar på varje fastighet, en samfälld lösning eller en lösning i kommunal regi. Syftet med studien var att utvärdera kostnader för VA-system i omvandlingsområden i Sverige. Fem olika områden studerades med avse
