A tool to support conceptual change : identifying methods to ensure employee satisfaction along Lean implementation

Creator:: Grijalva, Paola E.
Abstract:: To address several challenges faced in healthcare, the Triple Aim (3A) was targeted by institutions to improve health outcomes and patient experience while reducing the costs of health. Process improvement techniques in manufacturing, such as Lean systems, were applied as tools to achieve the 3A framework. Unfortunately, the high level...

Positive graphical lasso estimation of sparse inverse covariance matrices

Creator:: Logan, Paul
Abstract:: We explore the possibility of estimating sparse inverse covariance matrices when for scientific reasons the covariance matrix is restricted to be a non-negative matrix. The process mirrors the graphical lasso process developed by Friedman and others(2008) that did not have this additional constraint.Accordingly, the Lasso procedure is done through coordinate...

Improvements in the dosimetric models of selected benthic organisms

Creator:: Caffrey, Emily Amanda
Abstract:: The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has modeled twelve reference animal and plant (RAP) species using simple geometric shapes in Monte–Carlo (MCNP) based simulations. The focus has now shifted to creating voxel phantoms of each RAP to advance the understanding of radiation interactions in nonhuman biota. The work contained...

Risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders among surgeons: comprehensive question pool development and a pilot study

Creator:: Kia, Kiana
Abstract:: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are prevalent among surgeons due to a variety of risk factors. Various subjective tools have been used to investigate the associations between these risk factors and their contributions to the development of WMSDs. This study aimed to provide a summary of a collection of popular subjective...

Assessment of Timber Fallers’ Working Conditions in Mixed Tether-assist Timber Harvesting Operations

Creator:: Pokharel, Mandira
Abstract:: With mechanization, the logging industry has experienced a decreasing trend in the total number of workplace accidents, especially as new technology is making harvesting safer. However, there are areas within harvest units such as extremely steep slopes or rocky outcrops that are inaccessible to machines and are required to be...

Modeling and analyzing processes with infrequent failures : implications for process monitoring policies

Creator:: Darabi, Shooka
Abstract:: Continues improvement of industrial systems require constant measuring process variation and eliminating extraneous variation whenever possible to push the target measures as close to the ideal value as possible. Statistical Processes Control (SPC) technique is a very efficient statistical technique for monitoring and controlling processes variation. In recent years an...

Bi-criteria Scheduling in an Assembly Flow Shop with Limited Buffer Storage and Shift Production

Creator:: Aryal, Ayush R.
Abstract:: In this research, the comparative performance of permutation and non-permutation schedules is investigated in an assembly flow shop (AFS) with shift production, where a limited buffer storage is available between two machines. Most of the traditional scheduling problems consider continuous production, i.e., production occurs for 24 hours (3 * 8-hour...

Development of Technologies to Evaluate Hot Mix Asphalt Adhesion through Tack Coat

Creator:: Mahmoud, Aiman Mustafa H.
Abstract:: Flexible pavements consist of multilayers, which form the pavement structures. Since the strength of the bond at interface between layers plays a significant role in improving the structural integri-ty and the performance of pavement structures, tack coat materials and methods used for their application during construction are important in providing...

Pacific Northwest rangeland carbon sequestration

Creator:: Wiggins, Seth T.
Abstract:: This paper models the supply curve of carbon sequestration on Pacific Northwest rangelands. Rangeland managers have the ability to sequester carbon in agricultural soils by implementing alternative management practices on their farms. Their low adoption rate in practice suggests a high opportunity cost associated with their implementation. To increase their...

Road user understanding of shared lane pavement markings (sharrows) case study - Corvallis, OR

Creator:: Cosma, Ioana
Abstract:: This thesis focuses on shared use lane facilities and road user understanding. Shared use lanes (sharrows) are a common solution for road facilities that are too narrow to accommodate a full bicycle lane and where the local jurisdiction wants to reduce dooring crashes. In recent years, engineers have focused on...
