Examining membership benefit preferences and donation program attitudes in an urban zoo setting

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Recreation, leisure and tourism geography

description: The primary goal of this dissertation was to gain a better understanding of individuals’ membership benefits preferences and attitudes toward donation programs in the context of urban zoo settings. The first objective of this dissertation was to provide a background on membership and donation related research in the context of zoos and other relevant organizations. Based on the review of literature, the second objective was to empirically examine, through two independent studies, zoo membership benefit preferences and attitudes toward a donation program.
Despite a wealth of knowledge in the literature with respect to zoo visitors, animals, exhibits, and related programs, little research has been conducted on individuals’ preferences for zoo membership benefit packages and attitudes toward donation programs. To fill the gaps in these areas, the first empirical study examined factors that influence current and prospective members’ decision-making when choosing a membership package at an urban zoo. More specifically, the study explored preferences for selected membership program benefits and benefit levels, as well as how these preferences varied among visitors grouped by key segmentation variables. The study findings suggested that price of membership package was the most important factor, followed by the discount on food and beverage and the proportion of membership fees devoted to animal conservation. As expected, the visitors who scored high on place attachment to the zoo were more supportive of the zoo and less sensitive to variations in the specific options included in the zoo’s membership package.

In the second study, attitudes toward a donation program at an urban zoo were examined. In particular, this study investigated subgroups’ differences segmented by their membership status, place attachment levels, and attitudinal positions. A two-dimensional/bivariate attitude approach was employed to explore potential differences among attitudinal position groups. The study findings indicated while most respondents held positive attitudes toward the donation program, zoo members and nonmembers did not differ significantly. The likelihood of joining the donation program was significantly higher for those in the positive dominant attitude group compared to those in the negative dominant and equally ambivalent groups. Additionally, a qualitative analysis revealed that many respondents were concerned about the cost or affordability of the donation program; and perceived the benefits of the program as a poor value.

Collectively, the two empirical studies provide useful insight for managers and professionals charged with developing membership and donation programs in zoological parks and other relevant organizations. The study results also suggest a number of potentially productive directions for future research in these areas.

DRUG SUPPLY CHAIN OPTIMIZATION FOR ADAPTIVE CLINICAL TRIALS
Creators: name: Chen, Wei-An
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Operations research

description: As adaptive clinical trials (ACTs) receive growing attention and exhibit promising performance in practical trials during last decade, they also present challenges to drug supply chain management. As indicated by Burnham et al. (2015), the challenges include the uncertainty of maximum drug supply needed, the shifting of supply requirement, and rapid availability of new supply at decision points. To facilitate drug supply decision making and the development of mathematical analysis tools, we propose two trial supply chain optimization problems that represent different mindsets in response to trial adaptations. In the first problem, we treat the impacts of ACTs as exogenous uncertainties and study important aspects of trial supply, including drug wastage, resupply policy, trial length, and costs minimization, via a two-stage stochastic program. In the second problem, we incorporate the adaptation rules of ACTs with supply chain management and numerically study the impact of joint optimization on the trial and drug supply planning through a mixed-integer nonlinear program (MINLP). For solution approaches to the problems, we use progressive hedging algorithm (PHA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) respectively, and take advantages of the problem structures to enhance the solution efficiency. With case studies, we see that the proposed models capture the features of ACT drug supply and the mechanisms of trial conduction well. The solutions not only reflect the impact of trial adaptations but also provide managerial suggestions, e.g. the prediction of needed production amount, storage capacity at clinical sites, and resupply schemes. The joint optimization also suggests a new angle and research extension in the field of ACT design and supply.

FLOCKING OF MECANUM WHEELED ROBOT CONSENSUS

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Mechanical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis applies flocking algorithms for the distributed consensus control of a multi-agent system composed of four-Mecanum-wheeled robots. The working mechanism of flocking is an artificial potential field consisting of attractive/repulsive forces and velocity alignment. The potential function of the attractive and repulsive force is introduced to control the connected distance among agents in the network. A consensus is a group of robots in a communication network to achieve common goals, which are the agreement of position and heading angle in this thesis. The main contribution of this thesis is our proposed feasible methods to achieve consensus control for general multi-agent systems of four-Mecanum-wheeled robots.
With the fast development of information technology and the growing demand for data exchange around the world, the sensors and actuators of agents become more complicated and require more resources. Local communication among agents reduces the need for high material costs and lengthy installation time. This thesis established a controllable model of four-Mecanum-wheeled robots in a local communication network. An assumption is that all robots can obtain information on the relative position and heading angle difference between themselves and their neighbors. A few robots with installed GPS are directly connected to the central host. Our flocking methods under the assumed communication conditions adjust the velocities of robots by controlling the speed of Mecanum wheels.
This thesis simulated the proposed leader-following flocking algorithms for cases of connected formation and snake formation with different numbers of leaders. The simulation results regarding the position consensus and heading angles consensus are provided to illustrate the robustness of the proposed algorithms.

Evaluation of Deep Learning-Based Semantic Segmentation Approaches for Autonomous Corrosion Detection on Metallic Surfaces
Creators: name: Qian, Cheng
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Civil engineering not elsewhere classified

description: The structural defects can lead to serious safety issues and the corrosponding economic losses. In 2013, it was estimated that 2.5 trillion US dollars were spent on corrosion around the world, which was 3.4\% of the global Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (Koch, 2016). Periodical inspection of corrosion and maintenance of steel structures are essential to minimize these losses. Current corrosion inspection guidelines require inspectors to visually assess every critical member within arm's reach. This process is time-consuming, subjective and labor-intensive, and therefore is done only once every two years.
A promising solution is to use a robotic system, such as an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), with computer vision techniques to assess corrosion on metallic surfaces. Several studies have been conducted in this area, but the shortcoming is that they cannot quantify the corroded region reliably: some studies only classify whether corrosion exists in the image or not; some only draw a box around corroded region; and some need human-engineered features to identify corrosion. This study aims to address this problem by using deep learning-based semantic segmentation to let the computer capture useful features and find the bounding of corroded regions accurately.
In this study, the performance of four state-of-the-art deep learning techniques for semantic segmentation was investigated for corrosion assessment task，including U-Net, DeepLab, PSPNet, and RefineNet. Six hundred high-resolution images of corroded regions were used to train and test the networks. Ten sets of experiments were performed on each architecture for cross-validation. Since the images were large, two approaches were used to analyze images: 1) subdividing images, 2) down-sampling images. A parametric analysis on these two prepossessing methods was also considered.
Prediction results were evaluated based on intersection over union (IoU), recall and precision scores. Statistical analysis using box chart and Wilcoxon singled ranked test showed that subdivided image dataset gave a better result, while resized images required less time for prediction. Performance of PSPNet outperformed the other three architectures on the subdivided dataset. DeepLab showed the best performance on the resized dataset. It was found Refinenet was not appropriate for corrosion detection task. U-Net was found to be ideal for real-time processing of image while RefineNet did not perform well for corrosion assessment.

description: The sensitivity of CMS measurements to Parton Distribution Functions, strong coupling constant and treatment of heavy flavours in QCD analyses is presented. CMS data collected at various center-of-mass energies and their impact on the PDFs are presented. Measurements of cross sections of jet and to-quark pair production are in particular sensitive to the gluon distribution in the proton and the strong coupling, while the electroweak boson production - inclusive or associated with charm or beauty quarks give insight into the flavour separation of the proton sea and give hints to the treatment of heavy quarks in PDF-related studies.

CARARE Final Conference

description: This deliverable is the report on CARARE’s final conference in Copenhagen, November 8-9 2012. The report describes the thoughts and work that went into the conference, the conference itself and the dissemination efforts before, during and after the event. The report also synthesises all the presentations made at the conference including the speeches made at the welcome reception on the evening of the main conference. There were 23 presentations from 10 different European countries in seven sessions, a welcome reception with three speeches, and three social events for the delegates to network and debate outside the pre-designated topics. 82 people attended during the two and a half days plus non-registered participants who listened in on one or two presentations. The conference programme included presentations on the technical approach to interoperability and 3D representation, experiences of the partner institutions, user studies, hack days and app development, outreach, sustainability and CARARE’s place in the grander scheme of the digitisation and promotion of European cultural heritage.

The conference was organised mainly by MDR Partners and the Danish Agency for Culture with help from the session chairs, individual speakers and the CARARE partners. The programme and presentations*1 are available and are published on the CARARE web site (http://www.carare.eu/eng/Activities/CARARE-Final-Conference).

The conference was instrumental in uniting the project managers and the partners on the overall outcome of CARARE and helped spark ensuing sustainability efforts which is the subject of a different report (D7.3)
Understanding how crop insurance impacts adoption of conservation practices

Subjects: Agricultural land management

description: In recent years, agricultural magazine articles have positioned crop insurance requirements as a barrier to conservation adoption. Our research uses a mixed-methods design with Midwest conventional corn farmers to identify if crop insurance is a hindrance to adoption. Qualitative data was analyzed in Nvivo using thematic coding and quantitative data was analyzed using Stata statistical software. Our results indicate that crop insurance is not a direct barrier to adoption. Rather, farmers identify distinct and complimentary outcomes for risk-management from participating in both crop insurance and conservation. These findings reflect broader perspectives on Midwest conventional corn producers’ beliefs and rationale for using crop insurance and/or conservation practices.
Essays on Advertising Spending During the Great Recession and Real Earnings Management Using Advertising Budgets

Subjects: Marketing management (incl. strategy and customer relations)

description: In my main dissertation essay, I investigate advertising spending during a recession. Advertising plays an important role in creating awareness, preference and purchase intent for many products and services. However, advertising is often cut when a firm needs to control costs. This empirical study examines a unique set of factors which motivated 553 firms to change their advertising spending during the Great Recession. The first half of the Great Recession had a moderate 2% decline in GDP and 1% to 2% cuts in advertising spending. The seasonality effect was weaker, which indicates that firms were not as likely to carryover spending from the prior year. The peak of the Great Recession had a GDP decline as high as 7%, which is considered severe. Average advertising spending declined by 13%. In addition to the seasonality effect, decreasing sales decreased advertising spending. Increasing firm risk tends to decrease advertising spending during the peak of the Great Recession, but not before. Finally, firms in high advertising intensity industries, where advertising is strategically important, had modest budget cuts. In contrast, firms in low-intensity industries had much larger percentage cuts.The second essay examines real earnings management using advertising budgets” examines. Real earnings management occurs when managers change real activities to meet or beat important earnings benchmarks. Advertising has a limited short-term impact on firm sales for many products. Therefore, when a firm’s earnings are below key benchmarks for a fiscal quarter (year), managers are compelled to reduce advertising expenditures to boost earnings. This study examines factors which persuade firms to manage earnings using advertising budgets. Similar to earlier studies, we find firms suspect of managing earnings upwards reducing advertising expenses. The findings indicate that B2C firms are more likely to manage earnings by reducing advertising expenses than B2B firms. The findings also reveal that suspect firms which spend more in high advertising elasticity mediums such as TV do not reduce advertising spending as much as firms which spend more in low advertising elasticity mediums such as newspapers and magazines. The study also find evidence to suggest that suspect firms which report advertising expenditure in their income statement make smaller advertising spending cuts than firms which don’t report advertising expenditure. Finally, earnings management activity is much stronger during the last quarter of the fiscal year.

MODELING AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT OF HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Electrical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis proposes an Adaptive Rule-Based Energy Management Strategy (ARBS EMS) for a parallel hybrid electric vehicle (P-HEV). The strategy can effciently be deployed online without the need for complete knowledge of the entire duty cycle in order to optimize fuel consumption. ARBS improves upon the established Preliminary Rule-Based Strategy (PRBS) which has been adopted in commercial vehicles. When compared to PRBS, the aim of ARBS is to maintain the battery State of Charge (SOC) which ensures the availability of the battery over extended distances. The proposed strategy prevents the engine from operating in highly ineffcient regions and reduces the total equivalent fuel consumption of the vehicle. Using an HEV model developed in Simulink, both the proposed ARBS and the established PRBS strategies are compared across eight short duty cycles and one long duty cycle with urban and highway characteristics. Compared to PRBS, the results show that, on average, a 1.19% improvement in the miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe) is obtained with ARBS when the battery initial SOC is 63% for short duty cycles. However, as opposed to PRBS, ARBS has the advantage of not requiring any prior knowledge of the engine efficiency maps in order to achieve optimal performance. This characteristics can help in the systematic aftermarket hybridization of heavy duty vehicles.
OPERANDO ANALYTICS OF LITHIUM ELECTRODEPOSITION

description: Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) are at the forefront of energy storage. However, the performance of the LIB is hampered by several degradation mechanisms in the cell. Lithium plating is a competing process occurring at the anode during intercalation at high rates and high states of charge leading to reduced cycle life, capacity loss, and safety concerns. The process of deposition of metallic lithium is limited to the anode and can be identified by monitoring the anode potential in a full cell. A three-electrode pouch cell was used as an in-operando tool for monitoring lithium plating and an approach to quantify lithium plating as a function of anode parameters was proposed. The electrode kinetics at various states of lithiation at different ambient temperatures were determined to identify the limiting electrode and the electrochemical process with higher activation energy at every operational parameter.A novel anode potential controlled charging strategy for lithium-ion cells which eliminates lithium plating under most aggressive conditions was developed and studied under various temperatures. The effect of cathode degradation upon eliminating lithium plating is discussed to understand the futuristic design of fast charging protocols.

Incentives and Organization in Policy
Creators: name: McClain, William Boyd
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Agricultural economics

description: The following dissertation presents three, stand-alone chapters on incentives and organization in the analysis of public policy. The first two chapters use administrative data from the court system of North Carolina to (1) provide evidence of strategic scheduling decisions for felony cases around judicial rotations and (2) evaluate a wide range of alternative measures of judicial severity, a common methodology used in random judge assignment for evaluation of sentencing on recidivism and in the broader field of scoring and third-party evaluation. The first chapter presents a variety of tests for strategic scheduling, finding systematic variation in the disposition of cases by judges in their election district and by defendant gender. The second chapter presents coefficients from two-stage least squares estimates of the effect of incarceration, probation, and sentence length on recidivism, finding broadly consistent results in direction, but with a significant degree of variation in point estimates and confidence interval size. In addition, alternative indexes sometimes pass and sometimes fail balance and monotonicity tests. Finally, evidence is presented that there are multidimensional elements to judicial propensities around sentence type and sentence intensity, indicating that a single severity index may miss important variations in judge types that are meaningful to defendant outcomes. The third chapter uses data from the 1992 to 2017 Censuses of Agriculture to evaluate the impact of the Land Contract Guarantee Pilot Program (LCGP) on the share of new farmers in counties across the United States. Estimates of shares of new farmers from a difference-in-differences model are then used to assess the impact of new farmers on aggregate measures of farm capital and federal program participation. In general, the LCGP has a significant and positive effect on the share of new farmers. Counties with higher shares of new farmers are less likely to participate in federal conservation programs and have lower total machinery assets. An event study approach that includes data from 2017, when the LCGP was expanded nationwide, confirms positive effects from the program, but offers conflicting views on farm capital and program participation. It is suggested that this is likely a result of additional programs put in place in the 2014 Farm Bill, and future research is proposed to address this conflicting sign.

description: Background: The aim of this study was to assess the cost-effectiveness of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in addition to the current cervical cancer screening programme in Germany using a dynamic transmission model. Methods: Based on a mathematical model simulating the transmission dynamics and the natural history of HPV infection and associated diseases (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, cervical cancer, and genital warts), we estimated the epidemiological and economic consequences of HPV vaccination with both the quadrivalent and bivalent vaccines. In our base case analysis, we assessed the cost-effectiveness of vaccinating 12-year-old girls with a 3-dose schedule. In sensitivity analysis, we also evaluated the use of a 2-dose schedule and assessed the impact of vaccinating boys. Results: From a health care payer perspective, incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) of a 3-dose schedule were €34,249 per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) for the bivalent and €14,711 per QALY for the quadrivalent vaccine. Inclusion of indirect costs decreased ICERs by up to 40%. When adopting a health care payer perspective, ICERs of a 2-dose approach decreased to €19,450 per QALY for the bivalent and to €3645 per QALY for the quadrivalent vaccine. From a societal perspective, a 2-dose approach using the quadrivalent vaccine was a cost-saving strategy while using the bivalent vaccine resulted in an ICER of €13,248 per QALY. Irrespective of the perspective adopted, additional vaccination of boys resulted in ICERs exceeding €50,000 per QALY, except for scenarios with low coverage (20%) in girls. Conclusions: Our model results suggest that routine HPV vaccination of 12-year-old girls with three doses is likely to be cost-effective in Germany. Due to the additional impact on genital warts, the quadrivalent vaccine appeared to be more cost-effective than the bivalent vaccine. A 2-dose schedule of the quadrivalent vaccine might even lead to cost savings when adopting a societal perspective. The cost-effectiveness of additional vaccination of boys was highly dependent on the coverage in girls.

description: Background: Zoonotic transmission events play a major role in the emergence of novel diseases. While such events are virtually impossible to predict, wildlife screening for potential emerging pathogens can be a first step. Driven by recent disease epidemics like severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), and Ebola, bats have gained special interest as reservoirs of emerging viruses. Methods: As part of a bigger study investigating pathogens in African bats we screened animals for the presence of known and unknown viruses. Results: We isolated and characterised a novel reovirus from blood of free-tailed bats (Chaereophon aloysiisabaudiae) captured in 2006 in Côte d’Ivoire. The virus showed closest relationship with two human pathogenic viruses, Colorado tick fever virus and Eyach virus, and was able to infect various human cell lines in vitro. Conclusion: The study shows the presence of a coltivirus-related virus in bats from Sub-Sahara Africa. Serological studies could help to assess its impact on humans or wildlife health.
