A mixture model for bivariate interval-censored failure times with dependent susceptibility
(Springer, 2020-03-07)Interval-censored failure times arise when the status with respect to an event of interest is only determined at intermittent examination times. In settings where there exists a sub-population of individuals who are not ... -
Mobile commerce and device specific perceived risk
(Springer, 2016)This study examines the role of perceived risk and access device type on consumers’ on-line purchase decisions. We use a two-step hurdle approach to estimate consumer behavior. In the first step, the decision of whether ... -
Mobile Device Use in Pharmacy: A Multi-Institutional Study
(The Editorial Board of the Journal of the Canadian Health Libraries Association, 2015)Although there are studies that explore the use of mobile devices by physicians and pharmacists, there has not been a study to date that examines the prevalence and usage patterns of mobile devices amongst pharmacy students ... -
Mode I Traction-Separation Measured Using Rigid Double Cantilever Beam Applied to Structural Adhesive
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-08-06)Adhesive joining facilitates the development of multi-material vehicle structures; however, widespread adoption requires material properties to characterize adhesive joints for implementation in finite element (FE) models. ... -
A model for deceased-donor transplant queue waiting times
(Springer, 2015-01-01)In many jurisdictions, organ allocation is done on the basis of the health status of the patient, either explicitly or implicitly. This paper presents a self-promoting priority queueing model for patient waiting times which ... -
A Model for the Oceanic Mass Balance of Rhenium and Implications for the Extent of Proterozoic Ocean Anoxia
(Elsevier, 2018-04-15)Emerging geochemical evidence suggests that the atmosphere-ocean system underwent a significant decrease in O2 content following the Great Oxidation Event (GOE), leading to a mid-Proterozoic ocean (ca. 2.0–0.8 Ga) with ... -
Model predictive control-based energy management strategy for a series hybrid electric tracked vehicle
(Elsevier, 2016-11-15)The series hybrid electric tracked bulldozer (HETB)’s fuel economy heavily depends on its energy management strategy. This paper presents a model predictive controller (MPC) to solve the energy management problem in an ... -
A model-based approach to predict muscle synergies using optimization: application to feedback control
(Frontiers Media, 2015-10-06)This paper presents a new model-based method to define muscle synergies. Unlike the conventional factorization approach, which extracts synergies from electromyographic data, the proposed method employs a biomechanical ... -
A modeling and experimental study of capacity fade for lithium-ion batteries
(Elsevier, 2020-11)Lithium-ion batteries are extensively used in electric vehicles, however, their significant degradation over discharge and charge cycles results in severe capacity fade, limiting driving ranges of electric vehicles over ... -
Modeling and predicting mobile phone touchscreen transcription typing using an integrated cognitive architecture
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-09-07)Modeling typing performance has values in both the theory and design practice of human-computer interaction. Previous models have simulated desktop keyboard transcription typing performance; however, as the increasing ... -
Modeling and Stabilizability of Voltage-Actuated Piezoelectric Beams with Magnetic Effects
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2014-01-01)Models for piezoelectric beams and structures with piezoelectric patches generally ignore magnetic effects. This is because the magnetic energy has a relatively small effect on the overall dynamics. Piezoelectric beam ... -
Modeling congestion and service time in hub location problems
(Elsevier, 2018-03-01)In this paper, we present a modeling framework for hub location problems with a service time limit considering congestion at hubs. Service time is modeled taking the traveling time on the hub network as well as the handling ... -
Modeling Driver Take-Over Reaction Time and Emergency Response Time using an Integrated Cognitive Architecture
(SAGE, 2019-12-01)Drivers’ take-over reaction time in partially automated vehicles is a fundamental component of automated vehicle design requirements, and take-over reaction time is affected by many factors such as distraction and drivers’ ... -
Modeling Fenestration With Shading Devices In Building Energy Simulation: A Practical Approach
(International Building Performance Simulation Association, 2009-07)The use of operable shading devices impacts building loads significantly. The need exists for an explicit treatment of window shading devices in the design of energy efficient buildings through simulation. A general framework ... -
Modeling of Body Weight Metrics for Effective and Cost-Efficient Conventional Factor VIII Dosing in Hemophilia A Prophylaxis
(MDPI, 2017-12-01)The total body weight-based dosing strategy currently used in the prophylactic treatment of hemophilia A may not be appropriate for all populations. The assumptions that guide weight-based dosing are not valid in overweight ... -
Modeling of carbon dioxide dissolution in an injection well for geologic sequestration in aquifers
(Elsevier, 2021-04-15)Carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration is considered to be one of the most effective technologies of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. In this technology, single phase supercritical CO2 is injected into an underground ... -
Modeling of Microplastic Emission, Transport, and Retention in Urban Stormwater Ponds
(University of Waterloo, 2024)Urban areas are the major sources of microplastics to the environment, given their high concentration of people, road traffic, and mismanaged waste. Stormwater runoff, one of the major carriers of urban-derived MPs to ... -
Modeling Patient Treatment With Medical Records: An Abstraction Hierarchy to Understand User Competencies and Needs
(JMIR, 2017-07-28)Background: Health care is a complex sociotechnical system. Patient treatment is evolving and needs to incorporate the use of technology and new patient-centered treatment paradigms. Cognitive work analysis (CWA) is an ... -
Modeling the Modal Shift towards a More Sustainable Transport by Stated Preference in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
(MDPI, 2021-01-01)The need to gain a comprehensive understanding of road travelers’ choice of mode and their perceptions of using sustainable urban mobility modes have evolved to shape the form of future transport planning and policymaking. ... -
