Evaluation of mix ingredients on the performance of rubber-modified asphalt mixtures

Creator:: Takallou, Hossein B.
Abstract:: Rubber-modified asphalt pavements have been used in Sweden and the United States since the 1970's. In these applications ground recycled tire particles (0.25 inch minus) are added to a gap-graded aggregate and then mixed with hot asphalt cement. The benefits of adding rubber to the mix include increased skid resistance...

Motivations for reverse transfer at Rogue Community College

Creator:: King, Aurora N.
Abstract:: As reverse transfer students become a larger part of community college enrollments, it is important to better understand the underlying causes of this nontraditional population’s emergence in the traditional community college system. This quantitative descriptive study found that approximately nine percent of the student body enrolled at Rogue Community College...

Development of a mechanistic overlay design procedure for flexible pavements

Creator:: Zhou, Haiping
Abstract:: This dissertation describes the development of a mechanistic overlay design procedure. The mechanistic analysis represents a new trend in both new pavement and overlay design. The greatest advantage of the mechanistic pavement analysis is that it considers the fundamental characteristics of materials to be used, is capable of considering changes...

Development of the simplified method to evaluate dynamic mechanical analysis data on asphalt-aggregate mixtures

Creator:: Ab-Wahab, Yunus Bin
Abstract:: Testing of asphalt binders and asphalt-aggregate mixtures using dynamic mechanical analysis is becoming popular with improvements in high-speed computers, precision equipment, and computer software. Researchers are trying to describe the behavior of asphalt binders and asphalt-aggregate mixtures in terms of their time- and temperature-dependent linear viscoelastic behavior. The objectives of...

Construction risks allocation : optimal risk allocation decision support model

Creator:: Alsalman, Ali Abdullah
Abstract:: It has been suggested that projects in the construction industry are subject to risks more than other industries. However, there is often little parity in allocation of risks in the construction industry. Usually, project participants allocate risks by aversion where owners tend to shift risks to the primary contractor, who...

Development and comparison of two alternate display formats for an AgendaManager interface

Creator:: Wilson, Robert B. (Robert Brian)
Abstract:: Modern commercial air travel is considered by most transportation specialists to be the safest of all forms of transportation. While safe, any loss of life is tragic and the only really acceptable state of commercial air transport safety is that of 'zero-tolerance' where no accident is acceptable. Research has demonstrated...

A distance and shape-based methodology for the unequal area facility layout problem

Creator:: Kriausakul, Thanat
Abstract:: Significant improvements in production effectiveness have resulted from implementing cellular manufacturing systems (CMS). Following the cell formation, an important issue that needs to be addressed is the unequal cell (or department/facility) layout problem, which is the sub-issue in the CF problem. The work reported in this thesis illustrates the assignment...

Plate boundary deformation of the Pacific plate : two case studies

Creator:: Leitner, Beate
Abstract:: Two examples of Pacific rim plate boundary deformation are presented. In the first part of the thesis crustal models are derived for the northwestern part of the Vizcaino block in California using marine seismic and gravity data collected by the Mendocino Triple Junction Seismic Experiment. A northwest-southeast trending kink in...

Magnesium in hemipelagic environments : surface reactions in the sediment-pore water system

Creator:: von Breymann, Marta T.
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Effects of realistic distractions and interruptions on simulated surgical task performance

Creator:: Feuerbacher, Robin L.
Abstract:: Distractions and interruptions are common occurrences in an operating room (OR), but little is known about their effects on surgical task performance. Based on human factors research, it was hypothesized that realistic distractions and interruptions in an OR would adversely impact surgical task performance. Because of the concern of patient...
