  • The Winners and Losers of Sarbanes-Oxley

    Creator:
    Bailey, Derek
    Abstract:
    As a result of numerous financial scandals at the turn of the 21st century, Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act of 2002, requiring all publicly-listed companies to comply with regulations aimed at reducing the amount of material misstatements in the financial statements, both frauds and errors. Although the costs of...

  • Development and evaluation of multiple criteria decision-making approaches to watershed management

    Creator:
    Lamy, France
    Abstract:
    Decision-making in environmental management is complex due to the multiplicity arid diversity of management objectives and technological choices. This suggests that modelers and experts could utilize (I) multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approaches to assist stakeholder groups in integrating and synthesizing relevant data and information to address ecological and socio-economic concerns and...

  • A remotely controlled power quality test platform for characterizing the ride-through capabilities of adjustable speed drives

    Creator:
    Matheson, Evelyn
    Abstract:
    With the increased attention on high efficiency and controllability of industrial processes, as well as reduced weight, volume and cost of consumer products, the applications of nonlinear power electronic converters such as adjustable speed drives (ASDs) are showing a rapid rise. Power Quality (PQ) is becoming an increasing concern with...

  • Evaluating the effectiveness of spare parts replenishment methods for warranty service satisfaction

    Creator:
    Bluett, Andrew H.
    Abstract:
    After a mobile communication device (MCD), such as a smartphone or tablet, has been sold to the public, the customer may find that there is a defect. Each MCD is sold with a warranty that covers the repair of manufacturing defects and is supported by the MCD manufacturer. A third...

  • Modeling and optimization of radio frequency identification networks for inventory management

    Creator:
    Suriya, Atipong
    Abstract:
    Stock loss and out-of-stocks are outcomes of poorly designed inventory management systems and can lead to significant revenue losses. Inventory management systems (IMS) based on radio frequency identification (RFID) have the potential to minimize these losses if they are properly designed and deployed. However, the placement of RFID readers to...

  • Equipment replacement prioritization measures : simulation and testing for a vehicle fleet

    Creator:
    Kriett, Phillip Oliver
    Abstract:
    Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) Fleet Services manages a fleet that in 2008 included approximately 5,000 pieces of active equipment worth $340–$390 million. Every biennium, a fixed budget is available to replace a certain amount of this equipment. This research evaluated various measures for establishing equipment replacement priorities. A model...

  • REHand: ReEngineering the human hand with differential mechanisms to improve hand function after tendon-transfer surgeries

    Creator:
    Mardula, Katherine L
    Abstract:
    Since the 1970s, tendon-transfer surgeries have been routinely performed for a variety of conditions such as stroke, paralysis, spinal atrophy, trauma, and birth defects. The surgery involves rerouting a tendon from a disabled muscle and directly suturing it to a functioning muscle in order to partially restore hand function. This...

  • Sources of flow maldistribution in microreactor-assisted synthesis of ceria nanoparticles

    Creator:
    Tseng, Chih-Heng
    Abstract:
    Recent efforts show that microchannel technologies have much to offer the field of nanomanufacturing: the structuring of matter on the order of one billionth of a meter. During the synthesis of nanomaterials, microchannel reactors take advantage of large surface-to-volume ratios to accelerate heat and mass transport. This accelerated transport allows...

  • Bi-criteria group scheduling with learning in hybrid flow shops

    Creator:
    Bozorgirad, Mir Abbas
    Abstract:
    In this research, a bi-criteria group scheduling problem is investigated in hybrid flow shop (HFS) environments, where the parallel machines in each stage are unrelated, meaning not identical. The objective of the problem is to minimize a linear combination of the total weighted completion times as a means of complying...

  • Conforming Tax Avoidance and Firm Value

    Creator:
    Tree, David R.
    Abstract:
    In this study I explore the relationship between firm value and conforming tax avoidance (tax avoidance that does not create a book-tax difference). Tax avoidance provides firms more cash, creating value for the firm. However, conforming tax avoidance has costs, such as lower book income, and these costs potentially lower...
