  • Process modeling the physician-patient encounter

    Creator:
    Tong, Xiaomin
    Abstract:
    The objective of this research was to provide a definitive description of the processes within the physician-patient encounter in an office setting. This description would take the form of a formal process model of the encounter in a provider's office setting, as this represents the most common situation during patient...

  • The Design of a Multidisciplinary Capstone Course

    Creator:
    Rust, Nathan R.
    Abstract:
    The end goal of any educational program is to prepare a student for the challenges they will see after completion of their studies. In the realm of engineering, the pinnacle of this occurs during a student’s final Capstone course series, where students are asked to apply their various skills learned...

  • Integrating Systemic and Applied Anthropology Approaches to Identify Barriers and Enablers to Accessing Healthcare in the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina

    Creator:
    Copple, Ethan L.
    Abstract:
    Healthcare access exhibits differing levels of complexity, often requiring multi-disciplinary approaches to study its barriers and enablers. Though Argentina has achieved nominal universal healthcare coverage through its public healthcare system, full effective coverage has not been achieved. The public system also has a parallel private care system, adding further complexity...

  • Fatigue Testing and Analysis of Polymer and Composite Materials Used in Heavy-Duty Trucks

    Creator:
    Gahan, Kevan
    Abstract:
    As structural durability analysis is increasingly trusted during the design processes of the automotive industry, more complete and sophisticated modeling of material behavior under both static and dynamic loading conditions is paramount. This is especially true regarding the application of heavy-duty trucks, where modern designs contain large parts such as...

  • Characterizing Linkages Between the Climate, Cryosphere, and Impacts on Run-of-River Hydropower in Data-Sparse Mountain Environments

    Creator:
    Mosier, Thomas M.
    Abstract:
    In many regions of the world, a significant portion of the surface water originates in mountain headwaters where the timing and magnitude of streamflow is largely dictated by the seasonal storage of precipitation as snowpack and long-term storage as glaciers. Accumulation, persistence, and melt of snow and ice are functions...

    Abstract:
    Medical professionals experience higher rates of burnout than other professions due to the highly stressful nature of their environment. In 2018, 94 percent of physicians reported experiencing burnout – characterized by emotional fatigue, and feelings of depersonalization and low personal accomplishment – at some point in their careers. As emotional...

  • Systematic design of biologically-inspired engineering solutions

    Creator:
    Nagel, Jacquelyn Kay
    Abstract:
    Biological organisms, phenomena and strategies, herein referred to as biological systems, provide a rich set of analogies that can be used to inspire engineering innovation. Biologically-inspired, or biomimetic, designs are publicly viewed as creative and novel solutions to human problems. Moreover, some biomimetic designs have become so commonplace that it...
