Pinkerton Security services has offices throughout the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom from which security guards are dispatched to client sites. Only a few of the offices are semi-automated with the rest dependent upon the manual collection and transmission of the data to corporate Headquarters in Van Nuys, California. Headquarters processes the data and disburses the payroll checks and invoices. The manual effort of dispatching security guards and recording timekeeping in the field offices has resulted in poor quality and untimely data. Competing firms that have automated these

Abstract:
Rubber asphalt has been used in Brazil as early as 2001. Among the fabrication processes of rubber asphalt, the most widely used in Brazil is the terminal blend. However, the use of field-blended rubber asphalt has been around in the United States for decades, especially in the state of Arizona. This process results in a highly viscous material with enhanced engineering properties, but requires specific equipment that is typically installed at the job site, or close to the supplying asphalt plant. Thus, keeping in mind the possible technological advantages of using a field blended rubber aspha

Three different profiles field tiles namely high, medium, and low were investigated in combination with two types of ridge tiles namely rounded and three-sided.

Biofiltration has been shown to be an effective method for the remediation of volatile organic compounds (VOC's), particularly petroleum vapors extracted from the vadose zone. Many bacteria have the enzymatic pathways necessary for aerobic mineralization of VOC's to form cell biomass, carbon dioxide and water. Molecular methods such as nucleic acid hybridizations and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), are methods that can be applied to environmental samples to characterize bacterial community structure and function.

In this dissertation, we introduce and analyse a scheme for the fast evaluation of integrals stemming from boundary element methods including discretisations of the classical single and double layer potential operators. Our method is based on the parametrisation of boundary elements in terms of a d-dimensional parameter tuple. We interpret the integral as a real-valued function f depending on d parameters and show that f is smooth in a d-dimensional box. A standard interpolation of f by polynomials leads to a d-dimensional tensor which is given by the values of f at the interpolation points. T
