Generalized Preconditioning to Accelerate Simulations with Large Multiphase Chemical Kinetics Models

Creator:: Walker, Anthony S.
Abstract:: Combustion emissions produced from burning real transportation fuels have many environmental impacts. However, detailed chemistry across multiple phases, time scales, and thermodynamic conditions make predicting combustion emissions challenging. Detailed modeling of the gas phase alone is prohibitively expensive, due to the large size and stiffness of the kinetic models. The...

Process-based modeling for cradle-to-gate energy and carbon footprint reduction in product design

Creator:: Alsaffar, Ahmed J.
Abstract:: Interest in accounting for environmental impacts of products, processes, and systems during the design phase is increasing. Numerous studies have undertaken investigations for reducing environmental impacts across the product life cycle. Efforts have also been launched to quantify such impacts more accurately. Life cycle energy consumption and carbon footprint are...

Protective Action Decision Making in Large-Scale Emergencies: The Role of Information Requirements and Job Aids in Community-Level Decision Making

Creator:: Al-Abdrabbuh, Sami
Abstract:: Protective Action Decision Making is used to protect communities from adverse events and hazards. Models such as PADM (Lindell & Perry 2012) describe individual behaviors but have not robustly examined the information requirements in the solicitation process. The literature further indicates gaps in understanding the individual impacts of specific factors...

A Proposed Social Return on Investment Reporting Tool for Oregon Nonprofit Organizations Supporting Anti-Poverty Welfare Programs

Creator:: Martin, Molly Anne
Abstract:: Nonprofit organizations are feeling increased pressure to demonstrate their service’s impacts to their investors. Social return on investment is a tool that measures the social efficiency, or social return, of services by calculating a social return ratio. While social return on investment has seen increasing use by nonprofit organizations, a...

Exploring the relationship between engineering design project characteristics and risk indicators

Creator:: Yim, Rachel L.
Abstract:: Engineering design projects are implemented to accomplish a variety of goals in organizations. As the complexity of each project grows, the risk and uncertainty accompanying each project increases as well. As a result project managers must identify potential risks to projects and create plans to avoid realized risks leading to...

Integration of Systems Thinking, Viable System Model, and System Dynamics toward Systemic Sustainability Assessment Methodology

Creator:: Tong, Anh B.
Abstract:: The developmental milestones of Sustainability are consistent with the post-normal versus traditional science, where transdisciplinary and policy/action research are among the important approaches to be added to traditional analysis. This shift requires a new perspective to look at the problem at hand: we are no longer considering a group of...
