A formal model of construction safety and health risk management

Creator:: Hallowell, Matthew R.
Abstract:: Despite recent efforts to improve site safety, construction still accounts for a disproportionate injury and illness rate. According to the 2007 injury and illness data released by the National Safety Council, the construction industry has a fatality and disabling injury rate that is approximately three times higher than the all-industry...

Sustainable construction safety and health rating system

Creator:: Rajendran, Sathyanarayanan
Abstract:: The main objective of this research study is to incorporate construction worker safety and health into sustainable design and construction practices. This can be fulfilled by the development of an innovative construction worker safety and health planning tool, called Sustainable Construction Safety and Health (SCSH) Rating System that will: •...

An examination of strategic challenges and opportunities in the wood-based building product industry

Creator:: Tokarczyk, John A.
Abstract:: The wood-based building products industry has experienced significant turbulence over the past several decades as a function of multiple forces including among others globalization, product and process innovation, and shifting customer and consumer interest and demands. Collectively, these changes have challenged the historical tenets which have defined industry strategy and...

A study of the accidents within the trucking industry and the effectiveness of the accident countermeasures

Creator:: Lewellyn-Barnett, Tracey A.
Abstract:: A random sample of Oregon motor carriers was selected to determine the effectiveness of the Accident Countermeasures (ACM), a process created to address the factors involved in truck accidents and recommendations a motor carrier may utilize to prevent future similar accidents from occurring. Two groups of fifty motor carriers were...

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...

A framework for integrating systems thinking into sustainable manufacturing

Creator:: Zhang, Hao
Abstract:: Improving the understanding the relations of sustainability behaviors in manufacturing systems and actively engaging with manufacturers (especially SMEs) in sustainability efforts is key to the long-term success of U.S. industry and the natural environment. This study addresses this urgent need by establishing a systemic approach for the design of costing...

Comparison of secondary neutron dose from 10 MV intensity modulated radiation therapy and volume modulated arc therapy

Creator:: Catchpole, Mary Elizabeth
Abstract:: Photoneutron contamination produced during high-energy, external beam radiotherapy can contribute to total patient dose. This aspect of unwanted dose is not currently evaluated for patients undergoing radiation therapy. While multiple studies have examined the neutron dose from beams with energies above 10 MeV, research assessing neutron dose from a 10...

Exposure of ionic hyper-regulated artemia to chlorine – 36 in a marine system

Creator:: Shaw, Christopher Glenn
Abstract:: Chlorine – 36 (36Cl) is produced naturally, through neutron activation of stable chlorine during nuclear weapons detonation, or from neutron capture on residual chlorine in graphite piles. It has a half-life of 301,000 years and decays by the means of beta decay with an average energy of 236.33 keV. Due...

Process-based modeling for cradle-to-gate energy and carbon footprint reduction in product design

Creator:: Alsaffar, Ahmed J.
Abstract:: Interest in accounting for environmental impacts of products, processes, and systems during the design phase is increasing. Numerous studies have undertaken investigations for reducing environmental impacts across the product life cycle. Efforts have also been launched to quantify such impacts more accurately. Life cycle energy consumption and carbon footprint are...
