Job aids are instruments used on the job to improve
human performance by enhancing the knowledge and/or skills
of performers. Conventional job aids are usually printed
on paper; examples include checklists, recipes, and decision
tables.
Expert systems are computerized job aids which interact
with novices to help solve problems normally...
The purpose of this study was to determine if there was
a significant difference in the amount of technical subject
matter learned during a fixed period of instruction by
students working with a computer expert system and students
working with human experts from a technical field.
All students participating in...
A study of the apparel industry in the State of Washington was
accomplished through the use of a questionnaire which yielded data
concerning the types of automated and mechanized equipment used
during three time periods. Descriptive information about the apparel
industry in this state was gathered in order to analyze...
Consuming cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli sprouts, kale, Brussels sprouts, and bok choy is associated with several health benefits, such as a decreased risk of certain cancers. Cruciferous vegetables contain the glucosinolate, glucoraphanin (GFN). Cutting, chopping or chewing these vegetables releases the enzyme myrosinase, which transforms GFN into sulforaphane (SFN)....

The first part of this manuscript is about the total synthesis of the aspidosperma alkaloids leuconoxine, melodinine E and mersicarpine. Our synthetic strategy used a radical translocation-conjugate addition cascade to construct the core of the natural product. Specifically, a vinyl radical was generated from the homolysis of the C–I bond...
Passive sampling devices have been used for decades to measure complex mixtures of bioavailable organic chemicals in a variety of environmental media. More recently passive sampler applications have expanded beyond monitoring chemical concentrations, and this dissertation continues to advance methods of passive sampling on many fronts. Despite their growing use,...
The total manufacturing cost for a part is determined by its process plan, and the total cost includes both processing and material handling costs. This research examines the cost impact of assuming an arbitrary layout when evaluating alternative process plans for production in a new facility. A designed experiment was...
