Abstract:
Discrete facility location problems are classified as types of facility location problems, wherein decisions on choosing facilities in specific locations are made to serve the demand points of customers, thus minimizing the total cost. The covering- and median-based problems are the common classified types of discrete facility location problems, which both comprise different classes of discrete problems as reviewed in this research. However, the discrete facility location problems shown in deterministic and known information and data under uncertain, vague, and ambiguous environments have usually been solved using intuitionistic fuzzy approaches. Neutrosophic is recently applied to tackle the uncertainty and ambiguity of information and data. This paper considered solving the discrete facility location problems under the neutrosophic environment, wherein the information of the locations, distances, times, and costs is uncertain. The mathematical models for the main types of neutrosophic discrete facility location problems, which remain unclear till now despite previous related works, are formulated in this study. Numerical examples demonstrated testing of the neutrosophic discrete models and comparison with the optimization solutions obtained from the normal situations.

This work seeks to understand which factors influence physicians’ choice of practice location right after completing residency. Differently from previous papers, we analyse the Brazilian missalocation and assess the particularities of developing countries. We use a discrete choice model approach with a multinomial logit specification. Two rich databases are employed containing the location and wage of formally employed physicians as well as details from their post-graduation. Our main findings are that amenities matter, physicians have a strong tendency to remain in the region they completed residency and salaries are significant in the choice of urban, but not rural, communities. We conjecture this is due to attachments built during training and infrastructure concerns.

Abstract:
Cette thèse porte sur la solution exacte des problèmes NP-difficiles du p-median et du p-centre, des problèmes d'optimisation combinatoire qui deviennent rapidement difficiles à résoudre lorsque la taille de l'instance augmente. Ces problèmes de localisation discrète consistent à ouvrir un nombre défini p d'installations, puis à leur affecter un ensemble de clients selon une fonction objectif à minimiser.Tout d'abord, nous étudions le problème du p-median qui cherche à minimiser la somme des distances entre les clients et les installations ouvertes auxquelles ils sont affectés. Nous développons un algorithme basé sur la décomposition de Benders qui surpasse les méthodes exactes de l'état de l'art. L'algorithme considère une approche en deux étapes et ainsi qu'un algorithme efficace pour la séparation des coupes de Benders. Cette méthode est évaluée sur plus de 230 instances de benchmark avec jusqu'à 238025 clients et sites. De nombreuses instances sont résolues à l'optimalité pour la première fois ou ont leur meilleure solution connue améliorée.Deuxièmement, nous explorons le problème du p-centre qui cherche à minimiser la plus grande distance entre un client et l'installation ouverte qui en est la plus proche. Nous comparons d'abord les cinq principales formulations MILP de la littérature. Nous étudions la décomposition de Benders et nous proposons également un algorithme exact basé sur une procédure de partionnement des clients reposant sur la structure du problème. Toutes les méthodes proposées sont comparées à l'état de l'art dans des instances de benchmark. Les résultats obtenus sont analysés, mettant en évidence les avantages et les inconvénients de chaque méthode.Enfin, nous étudions un problème robuste du p-centre en deux étapes avec une incertitude sur les demandes et les distances des nœuds. Nous introduisons la reformulation robuste du problème basée sur les cinq principales formulations déterministes MILP de la littérature. Nous prouvons que seul un sous-ensemble fini de scénarios de l'ensemble d'incertitude infini peut être pris en compte sans perdre l'optimalité. Nous proposons également un algorithme de génération de colonnes et de contraintes et ainsi qu'un algorithme de branch-and-cut pour résoudre efficacement ce problème. Nous montrons comment ces algorithmes peuvent également être adaptés pour résoudre le problème robuste d'une seule étape. Les différentes formulations proposées sont testées sur des instances générées aléatoirement et sur un cas d'étude de la littérature<br>This thesis focuses on the exact solution of the NP-hard problems p-median and p-center, combinatorial optimization problems that quickly become difficult to solve as the instance size increases. These discrete location problems involve opening a defined number p of facilities and then allocating to them a set of clients according to an objective function to be minimized.First, we study the p-median problem, which seeks to minimize the sum of distances between clients and the open facilities to which they are allocated. We develop an algorithm based on Benders decomposition that outperforms state-of-the-art exact methods. The algorithm considers a two-stage approach and an efficient algorithm for separating Benders cuts. The method has been evaluated on over 230 benchmark instances with up to 238025 clients and sites. Many instances are solved to optimality for the first time or have their best known solution improved.Secondly, we explore the p-center problem, which seeks to minimize the largest distance between a client and its nearest open facility. We first compare the five main MILP formulations in the literature. We study the Benders decomposition and also propose an exact algorithm based on a client clustering procedure based on the structure of the problem. All the proposed methods are compared with the state-of-the-art on benchmark instances. The results obtained are analyzed, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each method.Finally, we study a robust two-stage p-center problem with uncertainty on node demands and distances. We introduce the robust reformulation of the problem based on the five main deterministic MILP formulations in the literature. We prove that only a finite subset of scenarios from the infinite uncertainty set can be considered without losing optimality. We also propose a column and constraint generation algorithm and a branch-and-cut algorithm to efficiently solve this problem. We show how these algorithms can also be adapted to solve the robust single-stage problem. The different proposed formulations are tested on randomly generated instances and on a case study drawn from the literature

Abstract:
Life expectancy has continuously increased in most countries over the last decades and will probably continue to increase in the future. This leads to new challenges relative to the autonomy and the independence of elderly. The development of Smart Homes is a direction to face these challenges and to enable people to live longer in a safe and comfortable environment. Making a home smart consists in placing sensors, actuators and a controller in the house in order to take into account the behavior of their inhabitants and to act on their environment to improve their safety, health and comfort. Most of these approaches are based on the real-time indoor Location Tracking of the inhabitants. In this thesis, a whole new approach for model-based Location Tracking of an a priori unknown number of inhabitants is proposed. This approach is based on Discrete Event Systems paradigms, theory and tools. The usage of Finite Automata (FA) to model the detectable motion of the inhabitants as well as different methods to create such FA models have been developed. Based on these models, algorithms to perform efficient Location Tracking are defined. Finally, several approaches aiming at evaluating the relevance of the instrumentation of a Smart Home with the objective of Location Tracking are proposed. The approach has also been fully implemented and tested. Throughout the thesis, the different contributions are illustrated on case studies.

Abstract:
Society is increasingly concerned about the environmental impact of energy systems, and prefers to locate power lines underground. In future, certain socially/environmentally sensitive overhead transmission feeders will need to include underground cable sections. Fault location, especially when using travelling waves, become complicated when the combined transmission line includes a number of discontinuities, such as junction points, teed points and fault points. Consequently, a diverse range of fault locators were developed in this thesis, and the performance of the proposed fault locators investigated. For a combined transmission line (CTL), consisting of one or more overhead line sections and one or more underground cable sections, a hybrid fault location scheme is proposed. This utilises the robustness of an impedance based distance algorithm and the accuracy, but stability concerns, of a travelling wave based fault locator, to determine the faulted section. The distance algorithm can determine the approximate fault location, but if the fault is located near an “underground-overhead” junction point, the accuracy is not sufficient to decide whether the fault is located on the overhead or the underground section. This thesis proposes utilizing a single end travelling wave fault locator to improve the accuracy of the fault location decision. The single end travelling wave fault locator can determine the fault section according to the permutation of the polarity of the “special surges”, which is especially important when the fault is close to a junction point. However, this single end fault locator fails in certain “blind” areas, wand these require the use of a distance relay to help determine fault section. Simulation results demonstrated that this hybrid fault locator can reliably determine which section of the feeder is faulty. For all types of CTL, including teed networks, the multiple-end travelling wave fault locator, utilising the arrival time at the feeder ends of the first fault instigated surges, can estimate the fault location. One of the main features of the proposed fault locator is the classification of the time difference between the arrivals of a fault instigated surge at the feeder ends as standard values, when the fault is located at each of the junction points or teed points. Comparing the time differences measured during an actual fault with these standard values allows the faulted feeder section to be estimated. The simulation results show this multiple-end travelling wave fault locator is highly reliable and suitable for application on combined overhead and underground transmission lines.

Abstract:
Fault location within electric power systems is an important topic that helps reduce outage duration and increases reliability of the system. This paper explores the topic of fault location using traveling waves generated by fault conditions and the discrete wavelet transform used for time-frequency analysis. The single-ended and double-ended traveling wave methods are presented and evaluated on a single circuit and double circuit 500kV system modeled using MATLAB SIMULINK. Results are compared on the basis of wavelet used for analysis, sampling rate, and fault resistance.

Abstract:
We revisit the discrete heterogeneous two-facility location problem, in which there is a set of agents that occupy nodes of a line graph, and have private approval preferences over two facilities. When the facilities are located at some nodes of the line, each agent derives a cost that is equal to her total distance from the facilities she approves. The goal is to decide where to locate the two facilities, so as to (a) incentivize the agents to truthfully report their preferences, and (b) achieve a good approximation of the minimum total (social) cost or the maximum cost among all agents. For both objectives, we design deterministic strategyproof mechanisms with approximation ratios that significantly outperform the state-of-the-art, and complement these results with (almost) tight lower bounds.

Abstract:
Many natural gas compressor stations which were previously located away from residential areas are now being encroached upon by surrounding building developments. Furthermore, an increased awareness of community noise issues has proved to be the impetus for investigating and developing more effective noise control methods and treatments for natural gas compressor facilities. This project investigates the feasibility of applying Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) to the exhaust of a large, internal-combustion reciprocating type engine. Large reciprocating internal combustion engines pose significant challenges for the noise control engineer. In the case of the engines employed at Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company Compressor Station 229, these engines radiate extremely low frequency exhaust noise into the surrounding environs. These engines produce discrete frequencies in the exhaust spectra with a particularly strong component at 26.5 Hz, which corresponds to the fundamental firing frequency (the 5.0 rotational order) of the engine; significant attenuation of the raw exhaust noise can be particularly difficult due to the sound power and spectral content. Traditional methods would necessitate a very large silencer in order to realize improved attenuation of the exhaust noise, relative to the existing silencer. Measurements were conducted at the error microphone location, at 1.0 meter from the exhaust outlet and at the property line. At a distance of 1.0 meter the WNCT integrated active / passive silencer yielded 84.5 dBA (92.3 dBL) while the original equipment silencer yielded 92.7 dBA (98.8 dBL). Band-limited (DC - 200 Hz) measurements were taken at the error microphone location; control off (WNCT passive - only): 109.8 dBL overall, 107.7 dBL 26.5 Hz component. With control on (WNCT active + passive) at the same position overall noise was 99.7 dBL with the 26.5 Hz component reading 89.1 dBL. Far-field A-weighted reductions were inconclusive due to the presence of other contributing noise sources possessing similar noise characteristics. Flow resistance measurements indicated that back pressure had been reduced by 95% relative to the original equipment silencer through the use of the integrated WNCT active / passive silencer.

Abstract:
This is a new revision of the Year 2 work. The NDE-3-2 project seeks to advance the state of the art for integrity assessment of difficult to inspect pipelines by proposing guidance for application of alternate inspection approaches other than hydrostatic test, in-line inspection and ECDA/ICDA currently prescribed by Code and Regulations. The hydrostatic test and in-line inspection methods for integrity assessment have in common the concept that the full length of the pipeline is assessed. Many pipelines exhibit configuration and operational issues that preclude integrity assessment by the prescribed methods. The ECDA/ICDA structured processes employ evaluation of protective barriers followed by deployment of a small sample of high resolution wall thickness measurements. The NDE-3-2 study proposes a new structured process that evaluates low resolution NDE data of the pipe wall for the full length of the pipeline followed by statistically significant numbers of high resolution wall thickness measurements to predict the condition of the pipeline relative to the fitness for service criterion of corroded pipe such as prescribed in ASME B31G. While conventional ILI inspections or hydrotest rely on full coverage as the basis for evaluating the integrity of a pipeline segment, this structured process would seek to use partial inspections at discrete locations and then use Extreme Value Analysis to estimate the integrity of pipeline segments. The objective is not to provide guidance to replace ILI or hydrostatic testing but rather to offer an alternative for the purposes of gathering data to justify the safe prioritization of piggability conversion or pipeline replacement of difficult to inspect pipelines for both onshore and subsea. This report documents the current state-of-the-art for corrosion location NDE, selection models, and Extreme Value Analysis (EVA) Methodologies for deployment in a structured process as an Alternative to In-Line Inspection of difficult to inspect pipelines. The research on NDE screening technologies addressed in this report reviews technologies identified in the Year 1 work that can be used to screen the condition of pipe wall along its full length as well as existing location selection models such as employed by Direct Assessment Methodologies. This report leverages extensive research that has been conducted on existing Extreme Value Analysis Methodologies from multiple sources and applications including metal corrosion (HOIS, HSE), pipeline corrosion, metocean criteria, wind loading, and multiple textbooks. Multiple case studies are summarized in this report that demonstrate the use of the Partial Inspection Integrity Assessment process utilizing EVA on segments of a pipeline compared to results from full length integrity assessments (either ILI or hydrotest). This report also documents a full Extreme Value Analysis using a demonstration case study and then compares the EVA results with the wall thickness measurements from a full length integrity assessment as a validation example. Ultimately, it is the goal of NDE-3-2 to identify more case studies that might serve as demonstrations. The report also identifies gaps that currently exist and the work that must be completed to develop a complete validated structured process required to deploy the technologies for integrity assessment of difficult to inspect pipelines. The research also aims to compare predictions of remaining life using statistical approaches applied to the partial inspection data with remaining life obtained from conventional integrity assessment using ILI or hydrostatic test.

Full text
Abstract:
Empirical evidence from field locations at which near-neutral pH SC has been observed suggests that some types of site and/or soil are more aggressive than others. Soil and site characteristics are the basis of "soils models" which are used to rank areas on a pipeline system according to the probability of SCC in risk assessment models. In this study, solutions extracted from soils ranked according to a commonly used soils model were used to assess their aggressiveness to near-neutral pH SCC in slow strain rate and hydrogen permeation tests. The laboratory testing was supplemented by field measurements of various environmental parameters (redox potential, pH, temperature, and soil resistivity) at pipe depth in locations known to support near-neutral pH SCC. These measurements were made both at a single time at various locations along the ROW and continuously at a number of discrete locations.

Full text
Abstract:
Aeromagnetic and ground gravity data for the Canadian Superior Province, filtered to extract long wavelength components and converted to pseudo-gravity, highlight deep, N-S trending regional-scale, rectilinear faults and margins to discrete, competent mafic or felsic granulite blocks (i.e. at high angles to most regional mapped structures and sub-province boundaries) with little to no surface expression that are spatially associated with lode ('orogenic') Au and Ni-Cu-PGE-Cr occurrences. Statistical and machine learning analysis of the Red Lake-Stormy Lake region in the W Superior Province confirms visual inspection for a greater correlation between Au deposits and these deep N-S structures than with mapped surface to upper crustal, generally E-W trending, faults and shear zones. Porphyry Au, Ni, Mo and U-Th showings are also located above these deep transverse faults. Several well defined concentric circular to elliptical structures identified in the Oxford Stull and Island Lake domains along the S boundary of the N Superior proto-craton, intersected by N- to NNW striking extensional fractures and/or faults that transect the W Superior Province, again with little to no direct surface or upper crustal expression, are spatially associated with magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE-Cr and related mineralization and Au occurrences. The McFaulds Lake greenstone belt, aka. 'Ring of Fire', constitutes only a small, crescent-shaped belt within one of these concentric features above which 2736-2733 Ma mafic-ultramafic intrusions bodies were intruded. The Big Trout Lake igneous complex that hosts Cr-Pt-Pd-Rh mineralization west of the Ring of Fire lies within a smaller concentrically ringed feature at depth and, near the Ontario-Manitoba border, the Lingman Lake Au deposit, numerous Au occurrences and minor Ni showings, are similarly located on concentric structures. Preliminary magnetotelluric (MT) interpretations suggest that these concentric structures appear to also have an expression in the subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) and that lithospheric mantle resistivity features trend N-S as well as E-W. With diameters between ca. 90 km to 185 km, elliptical structures are similar in size and internal geometry to coronae on Venus which geomorphological, radar, and gravity interpretations suggest formed above mantle upwellings. Emplacement of mafic-ultramafic bodies hosting Ni-Cr-PGE mineralization along these ringlike structures at their intersection with coeval deep transverse, ca. N-S faults (viz. phi structures), along with their location along the margin to the N Superior proto-craton, are consistent with secondary mantle upwellings portrayed in numerical models of a mantle plume beneath a craton with a deep lithospheric keel within a regional N-S compressional regime. Early, regional ca. N-S faults in the W Superior were reactivated as dilatational antithetic (secondary Riedel/R') sinistral shears during dextral transpression and as extensional fractures and/or normal faults during N-S shortening. The Kapuskasing structural zone or uplift likely represents Proterozoic reactivation of a similar deep transverse structure. Preservation of discrete faults in the deep crust beneath zones of distributed Neoarchean dextral transcurrent to transpressional shear zones in the present-day upper crust suggests a 'millefeuille' lithospheric strength profile, with competent SCLM, mid- to deep, and upper crustal layers. Mechanically strong deep crustal felsic and mafic granulite layers are attributed to dehydration and melt extraction. Intra-crustal decoupling along a ductile décollement in the W Superior led to the preservation of early-formed deep structures that acted as conduits for magma transport into the overlying crust and focussed hydrothermal fluid flow during regional deformation. Increase in the thickness of semi-brittle layers in the lower crust during regional metamorphism would result in an increase in fracturing and faulting in the lower crust, facilitating hydrothermal and carbonic fluid flow in pathways linking SCLM to the upper crust, a factor explaining the late timing for most orogenic Au. Results provide an important new dataset for regional prospectively mapping, especially with machine learning, and exploration targeting for Au and Ni-Cr-Cu-PGE mineralization. Results also furnish evidence for parautochthonous development of the S Superior Province during plume-related rifting and cannot be explained by conventional subduction and arc-accretion models.

Full text
Abstract:
The ability to remotely assess road and airfield pavement condition is critical to dynamic basing, contingency deployment, convoy entry and sustainment, and post-attack reconnaissance. Current Army processes to evaluate surface condition are time-consuming and require Soldier presence. Recent developments in the area of photogrammetry and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) enable rapid generation of three-dimensional point cloud models of the pavement surface. Point clouds were generated from data collected on a series of asphalt, concrete, and unsurfaced pavements using ground- and aerial-based sensors. ERDC-developed algorithms automatically discretize the pavement surface into cross- and grid-based sections to identify physical surface distresses such as depressions, ruts, and cracks. Depressions can be sized from the point-to-point distances bounding each depression, and surface roughness is determined based on the point heights along a given cross section. Noted distresses are exported to a distress map file containing only the distress points and their locations for later visualization and quality control along with classification and quantification. Further research and automation into point cloud analysis is ongoing with the goal of enabling Soldiers with limited training the capability to rapidly assess pavement surface condition from a remote platform.

Abstract:
The Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) is a mature oil and gas basin with an extraordinary endowment of publicly accessible data. It contains structural elements of varying age, expressed as folding, faulting, and fracturing, which provide a record of tectonic activity during basin evolution. Knowledge of the structural architecture of the basin is crucial to understand its tectonic evolution; it also provides essential input for a range of geoscientific studies, including hydrogeology, geomechanics, and seismic risk analysis. This study focuses on an area defined by the subsurface extent of the Triassic Montney Formation, a region of the WCSB straddling the border between Alberta and British Columbia, and covering an area of approximately 130,000 km2. In terms of regional structural elements, this area is roughly bisected by the east-west trending Dawson Creek Graben Complex (DCGC), which initially formed in the Late Carboniferous, and is bordered to the southwest by the Late Cretaceous - Paleocene Rocky Mountain thrust and fold belt (TFB). The structural geology of this region has been extensively studied, but structural elements compiled from previous studies exhibit inconsistencies arising from distinct subregions of investigation in previous studies, differences in the interpreted locations of faults, and inconsistent terminology. Moreover, in cases where faults are mapped based on unpublished proprietary data, many existing interpretations suffer from a lack of reproducibility. In this study, publicly accessible data - formation tops derived from well logs, LITHOPROBE seismic profiles and regional potential-field grids, are used to delineate regional structural elements. Where seismic profiles cross key structural features, these features are generally expressed as multi-stranded or en echelon faults and structurally-linked folds, rather than discrete faults. Furthermore, even in areas of relatively tight well control, individual fault structures cannot be discerned in a robust manner, because the spatial sampling is insufficient to resolve fault strands. We have therefore adopted a structural-corridor approach, where structural corridors are defined as laterally continuous trends, identified using geological trend surface analysis supported by geophysical data, that contain co-genetic faults and folds. Such structural trends have been documented in laboratory models of basement-involved faults and some types of structural corridors have been described as flower structures. The distinction between discrete faults and structural corridors is particularly important for induced seismicity risk analysis, as the hazard posed by a single large structure differs from the hazard presented by a corridor of smaller pre-existing faults. We have implemented a workflow that uses trend surface analysis based on formation tops, with extensive quality control, combined with validation using available geophysical data. Seven formations are considered, from the Late Cretaceous Basal Fish Scale Zone (BFSZ) to the Wabamun Group. This approach helped to resolve the problem of limited spatial extent of available seismic data and provided a broader spatial coverage, enabling the investigation of structural trends throughout the entirety of the Montney play. In total, we identified 34 major structural corridors and number of smaller-scale structures, for which a GIS shapefile is included as a digital supplement to facilitate use of these features in other studies. Our study also outlines two buried regional foreland lobes of the Rocky Mountain TFB, both north and south of the DCGC.
