The impact of shared ownership on virtual team effectiveness

Creator:: Bonnono, Mark A.
Abstract:: This research studied the role of shared ownership on virtual team effectiveness, using student teams enrolled in engineering management coursework at Oregon State University and Virginia Polytechnic Institute. After a thorough review of the literature, the concept of shared ownership was developed. This concept was operationalized as the extent to...

Studying the application of learning and growth metrics in healthcare using analytic hierarchy process

Creator:: Emami, Samin
Abstract:: Performance measurement is a process that begins with a decision on what to measure followed by identifying proper metrics and data sources. While there is substantial literature devoted to measuring the performance of hospitals and clinics in terms of indicators such as health outcomes and finances, it is vital for...

Terrain-Aware Probabilistic Search Planning for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Creator:: Schomer, Nathan L.
Abstract:: Mountain search and rescue is a vital form of emergency response to assist people in austere environments (e.g., extreme terrain, poor weather). Volunteer mountain search and rescue teams in the United States have begun adopting consumer- grade unmanned aerial vehicles to assist a variety of tasks (e.g., search, resource delivery);...

Lean thinking in the secondary woodproducts industry : challenges and benefits

Creator:: Czabke, Jochen
Abstract:: Due to growing global competition, especially in the last decade, the United States wood and wood-based industries have suffered significant market share losses. The wood industry in Germany is facing similar challenges. To stay competitive in an increasingly global marketplace, many wood manufacturers are adopting new management/manufacturing approaches. Lean manufacturing...

Implications of the 2008 Lacey Act amendments : insights from the wood products industry

Creator:: Tibbets, Ashlee
Abstract:: Export-oriented illegal logging has been recognized as a major global problem in environmental, social, and economic terms. It has been argued that export-oriented illegal logging does not benefit the community or government that should be benefited by its own natural resources. The emergence of policy initiatives targeting illegal logging could...

Modeling the fixed bed drying characteristics of biomass particles

Creator:: Yang, Hai
Abstract:: The fixed bed drying of western hemlock and Douglas-fir biomass particles at temperatures ranging from 50°C to 200°C and air velocities from 0.3 to 0.9 m/s was investigated. The objectives were to describe the drying characteristics of the particles, fit a model for thin-layer drying, and develop and test a...

The effect of feedstock composition on defect evolution in powder injection molded ceramic microarrays using simulations and experiments

Creator:: Laddha, Sachin
Abstract:: Micro Powder injection molding (μPIM) is a cost-effective technique for producing small, complex, precision parts in high volumes from ceramic and metal nanoparticles. This study focuses on research conducted on fabrication of Micro Ceramic Arrays (MCAs) parts using μPIM. MCAs are widely used as the major components and design features...

Global Overview of the Cross-Laminated Timber Industry

Creator:: Albee, Raquel R.
Abstract:: The global Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) industry has changed dramatically within the past decade, with expansion outside of its start in Alpine Europe. The societal focus on more sustainable options within the built environment has led to an increased use of mass timber construction and its products including cross-laminated timber. Examining...
