Texto completoAn approach for polling based on a variable polling frequency is proposed. A stateful model for a simple version CMIP proxy agent for SNMP which requires management information collected from SNMP agents to be stored in the proxy agent's MIB is also proposed. The proxy agent is implemented using the so-called OSIMIS-3.0 software package which implements CMIP, and an existing SNMP application. A policy of variable polling frequency which is based on the cost of polling, the cost of loss of relevant management information and the frequency of update of new information is used by the proxy agent. The agent is tested on a distributed network consisting of a LAN at McGill University and another LAN at the University of Montreal.
The results from the test show that using the above model of a proxy agent between CMIP and SNMP yields a better response time as compared to the stateless proxy agent model used by the Network Management Forum (NMF93), as well as an up-to-date information about the network to a CMIS manager during critical situations.

This thesis explores the development of a platform to better collect and manage data from multiple senor inputs mounted on a car sensor platform. Specifically, focusing on the collection and synchronization of multiple forms of data across a single mobile sensor system. The project will be implemented for three versions of a light-sensing platform, and will cover the different methods of data collection and different types of sensor devices implemented in each version. It will also cover the different technical challenges faced when collecting and managing data across multiple mobile sensors.

Texto completoVann- og avløpsnettet i Europa er i forfallende tilstand, og anbefalninger for å forbedre dette er at driften og rehabiliteringsplanleggingen bør vendes mot en proaktiv forvaltning, kalt Asset Managment, eiendelsforvaltning. Denne oppgaven er skrevet hos forskningsinstitusjonen LNEC i Portugal, i samarbeid med AWARE-P prosjektet som skal utvikle en programvare for fremtidig rehabiliteringsplanlegging av VAnettet. Innsamling av data for bruk i deres moduler, studering av data brukt i andre rehabiliteringsprogram og sammenligning av disse med tilgjengelig data i Gemini VA er gjort for å se hvor godt Gemini VA egnerseg som støtte i denne type planlegging. Planleggingsverktøy for rehabilitering av VA-nett er fortsatt i utviklingsfasen og de allerede utviklede programmene er datasultne og innsamlingen av dataene er tidskrevende. Gemini VA representerer en god programvare for innsamling av grunnlagsdata til bruk i planlegging av rehabilitering, og er det mest brukte programmet i Norge for å systematisere drift og vedlikeholdsdata i VA-nettet. Det er derfor viktig å se på begrensningene og mulighetene programmet kan bidra med i fremtiden. Målet med denne oppgaven har vært å se på forbedringer av programmet og på bruken av innsamlede data, for å gi bedre data til en mindre tidskrevende pris. I fremgangsmåten til Asset Managment må tilstanden til nettverket først defineres. For å gjøre dette må grunnleggende data samles (material, anleggsår, dimensjon og tilstandsfaktor hentet fra undersøkelser hvis tilgjengelig) slik at man kan gjennomføre undersøkelser innen kostnad, funksjon og risiko på et strategisk-, taktisk- og driftsnivå. Gemini VA kan gi en god mengde grunnlagsdata i fremtidsplanlegging, men selv om dataene er tilgjengelige, er det tidskrevende forberedelser som må gjennomføres, og det er kun én valideringsfunksjon i programmet (material-dimensjon-anleggsår). Historiske data, og resten av de strukturelle dataene, må valideres manuelt. Gemini VA burde bevege seg mot Asset Management ved å inkludere flere validerings raporter, forhåndslagde statistiske rapporter for fremtidsplanlegging og bedre statistiske visualiseringseffekter. Programmet burde også inkludere kostnad, mer informasjon rundt overvannshåndtering, vannprøver tatt på nettet og mer informasjon rundt pumpestasjoner og renseanlegg. Gemini VA kan blir brukt datainnsamling til en nasjonal statistisk database hvor kommuner med lite eller dårlig samling av historiske data kan hente statistiske tall for gjennomføring av planleggingsverktøy (feilrate til ulike materialer,etc.).

Texto completoAutomated monitoring stations have been used to monitor and control wastewater treatment plants. Their capability to monitor at high frequency has become essential to reduce the negative impacts to the environment since the wastewater characteristics have an elevated spatial and time variability. Over the last few years, the technology used to build these automatic monitoring stations, for example the sensors, has been improved. However, the instrumentation is still expensive. Also, in wastewater uses, basic problems like fouling, bad calibration or clogging are frequently affecting the reliability of the continuous on-line measurements. Thus, a good maintenance of the instruments, as well as a validation of the collected data to detect faults is required. In the context of this thesis, in collaboration with Bionest®, a methodology has been developed to deal with these problems for two facultative/aerated lagoon case studies in Québec, with the objective of optimizing the maintenance activities, of reducing the fraction of unreliable data and of obtaining large representative data series.

In this thesis, I study a number of online information communities to understand how open practices are currently used in supporting community functions. By examining how communities operate, I hope to provide individuals and corporations interested in creating such communities with a good starting point. The communities examined, some corporate and some user sponsored, share different types of information and have different intents. I analyzed the communities in terms of their openness in the following three major community functions: information collection, information evaluation, and information diffusion. The benefits and challenges of open practices are discussed and the tradeoffs involved in selecting the most appropriate practice for each major community function are presented.

Texto completoHere in, comprehensive management model of municipal solid waste collection and transportation, “MIGRU,” is proposed, based on the Lean Six Sigma, VSM, and Servqual methods. This model considers and includes three important management systems for an efficient collection value chain: quality management, route management, and HR and community management. The proposed model was implemented and validated in the municipality of Lima, Peru, and the results showed that municipal costs were reduced up to 40%, solid waste was reduced in the streets, and routes and processes were updated and improved in addition to an improvement in the participation and environmental education of citizens. Thus, correct management of the proposed model’s three general approaches to a very positive municipal impact at economic and environmental levels, without the investment of excessive amounts of money observed in first-world countries.

This dissertation examines how managers make cost decisions under significant economic events. The economic events of interests are the economic crisis from 2008 to 2010 and corporate loan financing. The economic crisis caused many firms to experience sales declines and created tremendous pessimism about prospects of sales rebounding in the future. I find that not all firms were affected equally. Sales-down firms exhibit anti-sticky cost behavior during this period; that is, costs are cut back more steeply as sales fall than they increase as sales rise. Such a behavior during the economic crisis is exactly the opposite of the average sticky cost behavior during normal economic periods documented in prior accounting research. This, in turn, implies that net income and cash flows from operations (as percentage of sales) may increase, rather than decrease for sales-down firms during an economic downturn. In the second study, I use a difference-in-difference research design to examine whether and how managers engage in cost management before and after loan financing. I find that managers significantly cut back operating expenses prior to loan financing. However, cost reduction is asymmetric with respect to the direction of sales changes. Compared with firms experiencing sales increases, firms experiencing sales declines reduce costs to a greater extent prior to financing and also exhibit a reversion in the cost level after financing. The reversion in cost level is negatively related to the percentage of financial covenants that are based on earnings. I do not find consistent evidence supporting that managers engage in accrual management, overproduction or asset sales.

Texto completoActual patrimonial assets, collectible items are hard to recognize and classify. Not possessing a conventional legal definition, collectible items meet on the one hand a list of assets coming from the tax legislation and on the other hand, the various criteria set by the tax instructions. It is clear that the asset management of collectible items is currently excluded from the patrimonial structures. However, owners of collectible items are regularly confronted with problems relating to the transfer of assets. Thus, it is appropriate to consider the various patrimonial techniques that allow one to reduce the tax burden on the transfer of collectible items

Texto completoThere are many initiatives on performance benchmarking of utilities but a few of them focuses on one or few area of performance. There are a few initiatives which use subjective indicators. Additionally, consultants visit the utilities for performance evaluation. This research focuses on creating a web-based benchmarking platform for performance evaluation using holistic and quantitative indicators. Practical and robust methodologies are used and the research presents the current performance comparisons among utilities for areas that impact overall utility\'s performance. Web based benchmarking consists of two major parts -- data collection and result visualization. A major contribution from this study is the creation of an online performance benchmarking database. With time more data will be collected which will provide utilities an access to a better database for performance evaluation. The future work in this research will be analyzing the data and results for each participant for each set of indicators, and finding possible reasons for under performance, followed by suggesting solutions for improvement using the best practices.

Texto completoSự gia tăng chất thải rắn ở các đô thị Việt Nam ngày càng nhanh và chất thải rắn đang là một trong những vấn đề môi trường được quan tâm hàng đầu. Đồng bằng Sông Cửu Long (ĐBSCL) nơi có đến 13 tỉnh và thành phố nằm ở phía Nam Việt Nam. Với lượng chất thải không nhỏ, chiếm khoảng 5 % tổng lượng chất thải rắn sinh hoạt của quốc gia. Tỷ lệ thu gom chất thải rắn thấp, chiếm khoảng 65 - 72 % ở thành thị, tỷ lệ này ở nông thôn thấp 40 - 55%, chất thải có hàm lượng hữu cơ cao chiếm khoảng 60 - 85%. Khí hậu nhiệt đới gió mùa với độ ẩm không khí cao và chịu ảnh hưởng lớn của lũ lụt hàng năm. Cũng như các khu vực khác, hệ thống thu gom và xử lý rác thải ở khu vực ĐBSCL còn rất thô sơ và lạc hậu, bãi rác là nơi duy nhất tiếp nhận trực tiếp hổnhợp rác thải không phân loại và qua bất kỳ công đoạn tiền xử lý nào. Trong phạm vi bài viết này, chúng tôi giới thiệu hoạt động vận hành hệ thống quản lý và xử lý rác đô thị trong khu vực đồng thời phân tích các thuận lợi và bất lợi, cũng như các tác động môi trường, những rủi ro tiềm ẩn trong điều kiện ảnh hưởng của biến đổi khí hậu toàn cầu - khu vực ĐBSCL là nơi chịu ảnh hưởng nặng nề nhất. Tình hình quản lý và xử lý rác được cân nhắc trong điều kiện tác động của biến đổi khí hậu, đồng thời quản lý tổng hợp rác thải cũng được đề xuất như một các tiếp cận mới nhằm đáp ứng nhiệm vụ bảo vệ môi trường trong điều kiện biến đổi khí hậu theo định hướng phát triển bền vững lâu dài

The rapid growth in e-commerce volumes, coupled with customer expectations of faster, flexible and cheaper parcel deliveries is increasing the pressure on retailers to design the most efficient delivery network. Collection-and-delivery points (CDPs) allow for the aggregation of demand and enable reductions in travel time and costs. CDPs also help minimize additional tours arising due to failed deliveries or failed pickups for returns. We formulate an optimization model that integrates CDPs in the design of the overall distribution network, including the location of upstream transshipment facilities. The model accounts for changes in demand density due to the placement of CDPs. It considers demand aggregation at the CDP for both forward and return flows, and the impact of failed deliveries and failed return pickups on the routing cost. The model considers multiple different route options and solves them using extended routing cost approximation formulae thus allowing the implementation of the model on large-scale problems. We then apply the model to solve a real-world case study on the last-mile distribution network of a major Brazilian e-commerce retailer. The results demonstrate that failed deliveries and failed return pickups increase both the last-mile cost and the overall cost of distribution, and CDPs effectively reduce these costs by aggregating the demand and minimizing travel time.

The top management team is important to understand as the executives within the top management team would have long-term implications for a firm's investment, operating and financing decisions which would affect the firm value. As these executives may have pre-existing connections outside the current firm, they are likely to be affected by these connections within the top management team. In this dissertation, I draw upon the literature in sociology that discusses different mechanisms of connections; 1) better information transfer, 2) cohesion and better coordination, and 3) favorable treatment to see how the connections within the top management team affects different decisions for the firm using data from 1999 to 2013. First, I find that the executives with connections to the CEO are less likely to be forced out and those with social connections to the CEO enjoy less sensitivity of involuntary turnover to performance. Notably, I find that this is consistent with CEOs favorably treating the connected executives rather than CEOs keeping connected executives for the benefits. Second, I find that firms with greater percentage of executives with connections to the CEO have greater accruals earnings management and lower likelihood of detection of accounting manipulations. I also show that the connections have an effect only when the joint tenure between the CEO and the executives are short. Finally, I document that firms with more closely connected top management team issue management earnings forecasts in a more precise form and issue more frequent and accurate forecasts. I show that this matters more when the top management team’s external network size is small.

Since the concept of place management was first introduced to environmental criminology in 1994, much has been learned about its application and usefulness. Through the study of a wide variety of places, it is now recognized that how a place is managed can affect the type and amount of crime that occurs at that specific location. Madensen's (2007) recent work with bars in Cincinnati further enhanced our understanding of the place management concept by hypothesizing that effective place management could be a result of four operational elements: organization of the physical space, regulation of conduct, control of access, and acquisition of resources (ORCA). To date, the application of place management concepts as reflected in the theory has been limited to community-based settings and has not been applied to custodial or institutional settings such as jails. This study is intended to test the concepts of effective place management in a jail setting to determine whether or not the number of incidents of inmate misconduct and disorder can be reduced thereby. Using a mixed-method design, this study measured the impact place management interventions implemented in a county jail had on a number of outcome measures, including the number of written, major misconduct reports for both male and female inmates, and the perceptions of inmate behavior held by officers, supervisors, and administrators. An interrupted time series (ARIMA) analysis of written inmate misconduct reports was used to evaluate whether or not the implementation of place management interventions reduced the amount of reported inmate misconduct in both male and female housing units. Qualitative analysis of the themes presented during individual and focus group interviews was used to assess changes in perceptions of inmate behavior held by officers, supervisors, and administrators, and to enhance understanding of the factors that may be responsible for producing changes in behavior. The results provide evidence that the identified elements of effective place management have broader application than previously hypothesized.
