Resumen
A new version of the ENERGY-10 computer program simulates the performance of photovoltaic (PV) systems and evaluates a wide range of opportunities to improve energy efficiency in buildings. This paper describes two test cases in which the beta release of ENERGY-10 version 1.4 was used to evaluate energy efficiency and building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) for two federal building projects: an office and laboratory building at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Laboratory (SAO) in Hilo, Hawaii, and housing for visiting scientists at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center in Edgewater, Maryland. The capabilities of the software, the design assistance provided by ENERGY-10, and a synopsis of results are given. Estimates of annual energy delivery by the five PV arrays of the SAO are compared to F-Chart to help inform a validation of ENERGY-10. Results indicate that, by simulating both the building electrical load and simultaneous PV performance for each hour of the year, ENERGY-10 facilitates a highly accurate, integrated analysis useful early in the design process. The simulation is especially useful in calculating the effect of PV on the building peak load, and associated demand cost savings.

Resumen
The Chesapeake Bay has an archaeological record that dates from the Paleoindian period to the early 20th century. In this paper, the research and analysis of artifact technologies recovered from six radiocarbon (14C) dated shell middens located at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center in Maryland is provided. This paper demonstrates the ways in which the use of artifact analysis and 14C dating can provide information on human use of coastal resources, settlement-subsistence patterns, and serve as a tool to document sites threatened by coastal processes. Furthermore, this work demonstrates the ways in which the analysis of technologies from shell midden sites can be used to help guide contemporary oyster and other fisheries and natural resources management, restoration, conservation, and sustainability issues in the Chesapeake and other coastal areas.

Resumen
Alaskan ascidians are incompletely known and rarely sampled. The Smithsonian Environmental Research Center recently conducted an extensive survey of harbors and marinas for nonindigenous species at major marine traffic sites on the Kenai Peninsula and Prince William Sound in Alaska. Collections made during summer 1998 and 1999 included 12 species of ascidians, one of which is a new species of Distaplia, D. alaskensis. We consider it indigenous, though it could be cryptogenic because it was collected only from marina floats and no neighboring natural subtidal areas have ever been sampled. All the other species are natives except Botrylloides violaceus. This aggressive invader from Japan has recently spread rapidly along both coasts of the U.S.A. and Canada as well as in many other parts of the world, and is here reported from Alaska for the first time. Ascidia columbiana (Huntsman, 1912), synonymized in 1924 by Hartmeyer under Ascidia callosa, has now been shown to be a valid species, based on differences in morphology and reproductive mode; a redescription of A. columbiana is included here. Several species collected in 2000 at the Sitka Sea Farm mariculture facility near Sitka are also included. Because all these collections are from areas never before sampled for ascidians, all are new records for these species.

Resumen
Like many research institutions, the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysicsf (CfA), has been actively engaged in education and public outreach activities for many years. The Harvard University Department of Astronomy, the formal higher education arm of the CfA, offers an undergraduate concentration and a doctoral program. In our Science Education Department, educational researchers manage ten programs that address the needs of teachers and students (K-12 and college), through advanced technology, teacher enhancement programs, and the development of curriculum materials. The Editorial and Public Affairs Department offers several public lecture series, recorded sky information, children's nights, and runs the Whipple Observatory Visitors Center in Amado, AZ. In this environment of successful programs, the High Energy Astrophysics (HEA) division, one of seven research divisions at the CfA, has initiated, or partnered with other institutions, development of several new education and outreach programs. Some of these programs involve partnerships with the education community, but all of them have been initiated by and involve scientists.

Resumen
The National Museum of Natural History is committed to long-term stewardship of collections and to supporting their use by scientists and the general public. Smithsonian’s Osteo Preparation Lab (OPL), in particular, maintains a long-standing tradition of collections access and collections-based research. This tradition of preparing and cataloging osteological specimens traces its origin to the beginning of the Smithsonian Institution itself. In the mid 1800's, James Smithson's legacy called for an Institution with a mission to pursue the “increase and diffusion of knowledge.” Under Spencer Baird, that mission later evolved into a system called collections-based research. This system involved preparing and curating animal specimens for scientific research, which was particularly important for the emerging field of comparative anatomy of vertebrate skeletons. Today, OPL staff work to catalogue and document vertebrate specimens, which contributes greatly to continuing the historic tradition of collections-based research done at Smithsonian Institution. The preparation and curation procedures of vertebrate specimens relies on the commitment of the OPL staff, as well as the use of dermestid colonies, composting, and other maceration techniques. The lab’s sizeable space and state of the art necropsy equipment for large animal dissections are used on a regular basis by visiting scientists studying vertebrate anatomy. Additionally, the OPL is integrally involved in tissue collection from animal remains, which are held by the museum for research purposes in both collections spaces at the museum and our unique biorepository at the museum support center (MSC). In terms of collections access, the osteology specimens in the museum’s research collections draw scientists from around the world. The research done on the specimens has resulted in many intriguing discoveries. In terms of public engagement and access, the Smithsonian Institution can boast maintaining a three hundred year old exhibition on vertebrate osteology, which began in 1881. The “Osteology: Hall of Bones” provides visitors with an opportunity to examine the skeletons of a vast array of vertebrate species, ranging from minute birds to giant mammals. The display, while mirroring the selection of species found in the original exhibit from the nineteenth century, enhances the user experience through the integration of modern technologies, like the app “Skin and Bones.” And so, despite the rather unpleasant smell and macabre nature of the work, the Osteo Prep Lab's activities are integral to both the public outreach and research activities of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History.

Resumen
Abstract Folklorists should enable communities to research and represent their culture on their own terms through yielding authority and facilitating their investigation of the community's own heritage. Community scholar programs in the United States provide training in research, interpretation, and methods of representation. The Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage has carried out community-driven heritage programs in tourism, curriculum development, and the research and presentation of personal adornment. This liberatory, community-centered heritage work contrasts with some conventional approaches of cultural workers that reinforce colonialist and racist structures and the abuse of heritage by racist extremists.

The Last Mile Problem (LMP) refers to the provision of travel service from the nearest public transportation node to a home or office. We study the supply side of this problem in a stochastic setting, with batch demands resulting from the arrival of groups of passengers at rail stations or bus stops who request last-mile service. Closed-form bounds and approximations are derived for the performance of Last Mile Transportations Systems as a function of the fundamental design parameters of such systems. An initial set of results is obtained for the case in which a fleet of vehicles of unit-capacity provides the Last Mile service and each delivery route consists of a simple round-trip between the rail station and bus stop and the single passenger's destination. These results are then extended to the general case in which the capacity of a vehicle is an arbitrary, but typically small (under 10) number. It is shown through comparisons with simulation results, that a particular strict upper bound and an approximate upper bound, both derived under similar assumptions, perform consistently and remarkably well for the entire spectrum of input values and conditions simulated. These expressions can therefore be used for the preliminary planning and design of Last Mile Transportation Systems, especially for determining approximately resource requirements, such as the number of vehicles/servers needed to achieve some pre-specified level of service.

Most air traffic delay measures assess delays relative to schedule. Over the past decades, however, airline schedules have been adjusted to take into account airspace congestion and yield better on-time performance. In that context, delay measures that are using scheduled times as a benchmark are of very limited use in assessing airport and airspace system congestion, since delay has already been built into the schedule. The primary goal of this thesis is to develop a measure that will estimate "true" delays that are not sensitive to schedule adjustments. In order to calculate "true" delays, we compute the difference between the actual gate-to-gate time and a theoretical benchmark, the "baseline". The baseline time to be used is O-D specific and is defined here as the gate-to-gate time from origin to destination under optimal (non-congested) conditions. We choose the fifteenth percentile of reported statistics on gate-to-gate time as an estimator of the baseline. We then compute baseline times for 618 major O-D pairs. Using the baseline times, we compute "true delays" on these 618 O-D pairs and observe that they are about 40% to 60% larger than delays relative to schedule. We also develop two methods to attribute O-D delays to the origin and destination airports. Using these methods, we determine that airports incurred about 5 to 13 minutes of delay per operation in 2000, depending on the airport under consideration. Airport rankings according to "true" delays are compared to airport rankings obtained from OPSNET delay statistics. The comparison suggests that, although OPSNET statistics underestimate the magnitude of delays, they yield very comparable airport rankings and can therefore be used to rank airports with respect to congestion. Finally, we change perspective and look at the development of probabilistic models for designing flight schedules that minimize delays relative to schedule. We use the simple case of an airline scheduling an aircraft for a round trip to illustrate the complexities and uncertainties associated with optimal scheduling.

Major airlines aim to generate schedules that maximize profit potential and satisfy constraints involving flight schedule design, fleet assignment, aircraft maintenance routing and crew scheduling. Almost all aircraft and crew schedule optimization models assume that flights, aircraft, crews, and passengers operate as planned. Thus, airlines typically construct plans that maximize revenue or minimize cost based on the assumption that every flight departs and arrives as planned. Because flight delays and cancellations result from numerous causes, including severe weather conditions, unexpected aircraft and crew failures, and congestion at the airport and in the airspace, this deterministic, optimistic scenario rarely, if ever, occurs. In fact, schedule plans are frequently disrupted and airlines often incur significant costs in addition to those originally planned. To address this issue, an approach is to design schedules that are robust to schedule disruptions and attempt to minimize realized, and not planned, costs. In this research, we review recovery approaches and robustness criteria in the context of airline schedule planning. We suggest new approaches for designing fleet assignments that facilitate recovery operations, and we present models to generate plans that allow for more robust crew operations, based on the idea of critical crew connections. We also examine the impact on robustness of new scheduling practices to debank hub airports.

With the continuous growth in international container shipping, many container terminals in maritime ports face congestion, particularly during peak hours of service, and when there is limited space in the storage area. Thus, there has been increasing interest in improving operations efficiency in container terminals. An efficient terminal, in general, is one that discharges containers from the ships in a timely manner and delivers containers to customers with a reasonable wait time. Moreover, a key performance measure in the storage area is the number of moves performed by yard cranes. Due to limited space in the storage area, containers are stacked on top of each other, forming a column of containers that can be accessed by yard cranes only from the top. Therefore, in order to retrieve a container that is covered by other containers, the blocking containers must be relocated to other slots. Because such relocation moves are costly for the port operators and result in service delays, one of the main challenges in the storage area is to plan the moves such that the number of relocations is minimized. This problem is referred to as the Container Relocation Problem (CRP). The CRP in its most simplified setting is concerned with finding a sequence of moves that retrieves all containers in a pre-defined order with a minimum number of relocations, assuming that no new containers are stacked during the retrieval process. Also, it is often assumed that the non-blocking containers cannot be relocated (i.e., repositioning moves are not allowed), an assumption that can result in a sub-optimal solution. Other variants of the container relocation problem include the dynamic CRP and the CRP with incomplete information. The former involves minimizing the number of relocations when containers are continuously stacked in and retrieved from the storage area, and the latter refers to the case that the departure times of containers are not fully known in advance. For example, a probabilistic distribution of container departure orders, or approximate departure times (in the form of time windows) might be known. Another important efficiency metric, in addition to the number of relocations, is customer wait times during the retrieval process. In particular, when repositioning moves are allowed in the system, there is a trade-off between the total number of relocations (including repositionings) and wait times, because such repositioning moves make the retrieval process faster for trucks arriving in the future. Also, it might be desired to prioritize some customers so that those prioritized experience shorter wait times. For example, in terminals with appointment systems, shorter waiting time guarantees can be given to customers who book in advance a time slot for picking up their containers. In this thesis, we propose optimization models that capture service-based and cost-based objectives and study different service policies. In the first part of this thesis, we study the CRP with complete information using an optimization model and heuristic approach. In particular, we formulate CRP (with no restrictive assumptions on repositioning moves) as an Integer Program that minimizes the weighted sum of the number of relocations and the total wait time of customers. Our integer program provides the optimal sequence of moves for retrieving containers subject to various service policies. For example, it can be used by port operators to minimize customer wait times, or to give different waiting time guarantees to different customers to reflect relative priorities. Moreover, by assigning different weight factors to the two objectives, one can use our model to plan repositioning moves. We also extend our model to the dynamic CRP and illustrate how the flexibility in the stacking process can be exploited to optimize jointly the sequence of moves and the stacking position of containers. Additionally, we propose a class of flexible retrieval policies. We demonstrate that flexible policies can result in fewer relocations and shorter wait times, thereby benefiting both the port operators and customers. In the second part of this thesis, we study the CRP with incomplete information in a 2-stage setting where the departure times of a subset of containers are initially known and the departure times of other containers are revealed at once at a later time. The contributions are twofold. First, we propose an approximate stochastic optimization algorithm, called ASA*, which is a branch-and-bound framework combined with a sampling technique, and to the best of our knowledge is the first optimization algorithm proposed for this problem. We provide theoretical bounds on the approximation errors and present numerical results showing the computational tractability and efficiency of our algorithm. Second, we use the ASA* algorithm and a myopic heuristic to study the value of information, that is, the effect of the number of containers initially known on the number of relocations. In the last part of this thesis, we introduce a simulator that is capable of integrated simulation of port operations, including the retrieval process, the stacking process, and other aspects such as allocating cranes to containers and allocating trucks to cranes. Our simulator captures the practical details of operations that cannot be modelled in an optimization framework and is capable of simulating long periods (e.g. a week) of realistic-scale operations.

The broad goal of this thesis is to demonstrate the potential positive impacts of applying automatic data to the management and tactical planning of a modern urban railway. Tactical planning is taken here to mean the set of transport-specific analysis and decisions required to manage and improve a railway with time horizons measured in weeks, months, or up to a year and little or no capital investment requirements. This thesis develops and tests methods to (i) estimate on-train loads from automatic measurements of train payload weight, (ii) estimate origin-destination matrices by combining multiple types of automatic data, (iii) study passenger incidence (station arrival) behavior relative to the published timetable, (iv) characterize service quality in terms of the difference between automatically measured passenger journey times and journey times implied by the published timetable. It does so using (i) disaggregate journey records from an entry- and exit-controlled automatic fare collection system, (ii) payload weight measurements from "loadweigh" sensors in train suspension systems, and (iii) aggregate passenger volumes from electronic station gatelines. The methods developed to analyze passenger incidence behavior and service quality using these data sources include new methodologies that facilitate such analysis under a wide variety of service conditions and passenger behaviors. The above methods and data are used to characterize passenger demand and service quality on the rapidly growing, largely circumferential London Overground network in London, England. A case study documents how a tactical planning intervention on the Overground network was influenced by the application of these methods, and evaluates the outcomes of this intervention. The proposed analytical methods are judged to be successful in that they estimate the desired quantities with sufficient accuracy and are found to make a positive contribution to the Overground's tactical planning process. It is concluded that relative measures of service quality such as the one developed here can be used in cross-sectional analysis to inform tactical planning activity. However, such measures are of less utility for longitudinal evaluation of tactical planning interventions when the basis against which service quality is judged (in this case the timetable) is changed. Under such circumstances, absolute measures, such as total observed passenger journey times, should be used as well.

A myriad of uncontrollable factors in airline operations make delays and disruptions unavoidable. Most conventional scheduling models, however, ignore the presence of uncertainties in actual operations in order to limit the complexity of the problem. This leads to schedules that are prone to delays and disruptions. As a result, there has been wide interest recently in building robustness into airline schedules. In this work, we investigate slack allocation approaches for robust airline schedule planning. In particular, we propose three models: aircraft re-routing model, flight schedule re-timing model, and block time adjustment model, together with their variants. Using data from an international carrier, we evaluate the impacts of the resulting schedules on various performance metrics, including passenger delays. The results show that minor modifications to an original schedule can significantly improve the overall performance of the schedule. Through empirical results, we provide a comprehensive discussion of model behaviors and how an airline's characteristics can affect the strategy for robust scheduling.

Resumen
AbstractThe construction sector is one of the main sources of environmental degradation in the world. Data demonstrates that commercial assets are the most intensive consumers of resources. Among those, the largest amount of buildings’ emissions comes from office building operations. Buildings’ impact on the environment does not depend only on energy and material consumptions; but several studies demonstrate that sustainable savings could be achieved through occupants’ trainings. To develop a model for assessing the sustainable performance of office buildings which accounts also for occupants’ behavior, authors worked with the Real Estate Center of Politecnico di Milano and the Joint Research Center PropTech of Fondazione Politecnico di Milano. Through this cooperation, a tool is under development that: Assesses the quantity of space needed by organizations, based on the employees’ ways of working; and Evaluates how much space occupancy and utilization may influence the sustainable performances of office buildings. This paper describes the general functioning of the tool and looks at the contribution that PropTechs (Properties Technologies) can give to its implementation. Even if PropTechs are introducing digitalization in several real estate processes, few of them are focusing on the environmental. This study reviews the existing Italian PropTechs and selects those that could add value to the proposed tool. The analysis allows to define strengths and limits of the existing tools, helpful for implementing a new tool based on real needs of building managers. The tool aims to reduce the environmental impact of office buildings by suggesting more sustainable and user-oriented strategies.

Resumen
A new version of the ENERGY-10 computer program simulates the performance of photovoltaic systems, in addition to a wide range of opportunities to improve energy efficiency in buildings. This paper describes two test cases in which the beta release of ENERGY-10 version 1.4 was used to evaluate energy efficiency and building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) for two Federal building projects: a 16,000-ft2 (1,487 m2) office and laboratory building at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Laboratory in Hilo, Hawaii, and housing for visiting scientists [three 1400-ft2 (130 m2) and three 1564-ft2 (145 m2) houses] at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center in Edgewater, Maryland. The paper describes the capabilities of the software, the method in which ENERGY-10 was used to assist in the design, and a synopsis of the results. The results indicate that ENERGY-10 is an effective tool for evaluating BIPV options very early in the building design process. By simulating both the building electrical load and simultaneous PV performance for each hour of the year, the ENERGY-10 program facilitates a highly accurate, integrated analysis.

Resumen
CIEMAT, formerly the Nuclear Energy Board (JEN), is the Spanish Centre for Energy-Related, Environmental and Technological Research. Located in Madrid, it used to have more than 60 facilities in operation that allowed a wide range of activities in the nuclear field and in the application of ionising radiations. Particularly significant among these facilities were the research reactors, particle accelerators, hot cells and nuclear fuel manufacturing and processing plants. At present the centre, which is authorised as a single nuclear facility, includes various installations, some of them are now obsolete, shut down and in dismantling phases. In 2000 CIEMAT started the “Integrated plan for the improvement of CIEMAT installations (PIMIC)”, which includes activities for the decontamination, dismantling and rehabilitation of obsolete facilities. This paper will describe the decommissioning process carried out at CIEMAT Research Centre, and will review the key aspects of the project, including site remediation and release.
