Description
Dimensional Metrology is the branch of science that determines length, angular, and geometric relationships within manufactured parts and compares them with required tolerances. The measurements can be made using either manual methods or sampled coordinate metrology (Coordinate measuring machines). Manual measurement methods have been in practice for a long time and are well accepted in the industry, but are slow for the present day manufacturing. On the other hand CMMs are relatively fast, but these methods are not well established yet. The major problem that needs to be addressed is the type of feature fitting algorithm used for evaluating tolerances. In a CMM the use of different feature fitting algorithms on a feature gives different values, and there is no standard that describes the type of feature fitting algorithm to be used for a specific tolerance. Our research is focused on identifying the feature fitting algorithm that is best used for each type of tolerance. Each algorithm is identified as the one to best represent the interpretation of geometric control as defined by the ASME Y14.5 standard and on the manual methods used for the measurement of a specific tolerance type. Using these algorithms normative procedures for CMMs are proposed for verifying tolerances. The proposed normative procedures are implemented as software. Then the procedures are verified by comparing the results from software with that of manual measurements.
To aid this research a library of feature fitting algorithms is developed in parallel. The library consists of least squares, Chebyshev and one sided fits applied on the features of line, plane, circle and cylinder. The proposed normative procedures are useful for evaluating tolerances in CMMs. The results evaluated will be in accordance to the standard. The ambiguity in choosing the algorithms is prevented. The software developed can be used in quality control for inspection purposes.

Description
Having accurate measurements of sedentary behaviors is important to understand relationships between sedentary behaviors and health outcomes and to evaluate changes in interventions and health promotion programs designed to reduce sedentary behaviors. This dissertation included three projects that examined measurement properties of wearable monitors used to measure sedentary behaviors. Project one examined the validity of three monitors: the ActiGraph GT3X+, activPAL™, and SenseWear 2. None of the monitors were equivalent with the criterion measure of oxygen uptake to estimate the energy cost of sedentary and light-intensity activities. The ActivPAL™ had the best accuracy as compared with the other monitors. In project two, the accuracy of ActiGraph GT3X+and GENEActiv cut-points used to assess sedentary behavior were compared with direct observation during free-living conditions. New vector magnitude cut-points also were developed to classify time spent in sedentary- and stationary behaviors during free-living conditions. The cut-points tested had modest overall accuracy to classify sedentary time as compared to direct observation. New ActiGraph 1-minute vector cut-points increased overall accuracy for classifying sedentary time. Project 3 examined the accuracy of the sedentary sphere by testing various arm elevation- and movement-count configurations using GENEActiv and ActiGraph GT3X+ data obtained during free-living conditions. None of the configurations were equivalent to the criterion measure of direct observation. The best configuration of the GENEActiv was: worn on the dominant wrist at 15 degrees below the horizontal plane with a cut-point <489 for each 15-second interval. The best configuration for the ActiGraph was: worn on the non-dominant wrist at 5° below the horizontal plane with a cut-point of <489 counts for each 15-second interval. Collectively, these findings indicate that the wearable monitors and methods examined in this study are limited in their ability to assess sedentary behaviors and light intensity physical activity. Additional research is needed to further understand the scope and limitations of wearable monitors and methods used to assess sedentary behaviors and light intensity physical activity.

Description随着中国居民消费占GDP比例的提升，人均GDP的增长，银行等贷款机构对个人和零售业务的长期发展，中国金融机构的个人贷款不良资产规模发生了很大的变化。居民个人对外负债主要是以债权方式体现。基于债权的一致性，对于借贷人的个人外部负债缺少特定的强制性的偿贷顺序安排，偿贷行为也不会受到法律框架的强制约束，导致借贷人在偿贷能力不足时，个体的主观意愿对于偿贷行为结果的影响显著。
既往的个人贷款不良资产管理和服务模式，均参照企业贷款不良资产管理和服务模式，体现出在标的资产的产品特点、信贷主体差异、法律完备性、对公共基础服务支撑要求等方面存在显著的不同。原有针对企业贷款不良资产的管理和服务模式在适应个人贷款不良资产管理和服务时，也就需要采用不同的方式和策略，所以，优化、提升对于借贷人的管理和服务模式就存在必要的调整和优化空间。
由于借贷人的自然人属性，区别于企业的法人属性，其生命周期自然存续期间，偿贷能力存在修复的可能，外部征信环境的改善，也会对个人贷款不良资产的产生影响。现有的个人贷款不良资产的管理和服务模式也需要做出必要的调整过和安排。
21世纪前20年，互联网/通讯/IT技术发展迅速，AI、BigData、Blockchain等技术逐渐成熟，对厘清个人贷款不良资产偿贷机制提供了必要的基础数据。在此基础上，运用日趋完备的信息不对称和行为决策等理论工具，对既有对个人贷款不良资产管理和服务模式做出优化和调整就存在可能性。
本文基于P2P个人贷款不良资产管理和服务过程中形成的数据，选取金额回款率和失联事件发生率来计量借款人的行为决策结果，通过对这两个指标在个人贷款不良资产管理和服务中呈现的规律进行分析，初步厘清了个人贷款不良资产的偿贷过程中的行为决策机制，在既有框架基础上，对个人贷款不良资产管理和服务中的资产定价优化、资产交易模式、管理和服务机构评价、不良资产策略管理策略、催收服务策略等提供提供了有益的补充。
