A model is presented by means of which the optimal dragline selection may be made. An outline is given of the methodology that was adopted in developing a series of generic algorithms to first define and then formularize the need to extend the working bench under a nat-lying topography and coal seam. Rehandle percentages were calculated for four generalized extended bench geometries, in each of which the percentage rehandle varied according to the relative positions of the extended bench and pit. A set of geometric and simulative equations was developed on which a model for the optimal selection of a dragline was based. Finally, a typical application was tested through the use of data associated with a hypothetical strip-mining operation.

Design scaling of aeroballistic range models
Kutluay, Ümit; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2004)
The aim of this thesis is to develop a methodology for obtaining an optimum configuration for the aeroballistic range models. In the design of aeroballistic range models, there are mainly three similarity requirements to be matched between the model and the actual munition: external geometry, location of the centre of gravity and the ratio of axial mass moment of inertia to the transverse mass moment of inertia. Furthermore, it is required to have a model with least possible weight, so that the required tes...
Supervisory control and formal methods for distributed systems
İnan, Kemal (1992-08-28)
A brief introductory exposure for logical discrete event system models is presented. Based on a specific version of this model tailored to supervisory control, some of the mainstream supervisory control problems are formulated in a unified framework. Formal methods used in software engineering has certain computational and structural similarities to supervisory control and unlike the latter, is closely connected to realistic and widespread practical applications. Formal specification, verification, impleme...
Industry specific information content of financial ratios and financial distress modeling
Sayarı, Naz; Oran, Adil; Muğan, Fatma Naciye Can; Department of Business Administration (2013)
The aim of this study is to investigate uncertainty levels of industries and explore those financial ratios that have the highest information content in determining the set of industry characteristics and use the most informative ratios selected in developing industry specific financial distress models. First, we employ factor analysis to determine the set of ratios that are most informative in specified industries. Second, we use entropy method as a Multiple Attribute Decision Making Model, to measure the ...
Mutual relevance of investor sentiment and finance by modeling coupled stochastic systems with MARS
Kalayci, Betul; Ozmen, Ayse; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-08-01)
Stochastic differential equations (SDEs) rapidly become one of the most well-known formats in which to express such diverse mathematical models under uncertainty such as financial models, neural systems, behavioral and neural responses, human reactions and behaviors. They belong to the main methods to describe randomness of a dynamical model today. In a financial system, different kinds of SDEs have been elaborated to model various financial assets. On the other hand, economists have conducted research on s...
