Protective Action Decision Making in Large-Scale Emergencies: The Role of Information Requirements and Job Aids in Community-Level Decision Making

Creator:: Al-Abdrabbuh, Sami
Abstract:: Protective Action Decision Making is used to protect communities from adverse events and hazards. Models such as PADM (Lindell & Perry 2012) describe individual behaviors but have not robustly examined the information requirements in the solicitation process. The literature further indicates gaps in understanding the individual impacts of specific factors...

Locating and Quantifying Contamination Deposited in Radiation Puncture Wounds

Creator:: Wehmann, Nicholas K.
Abstract:: Internal dosimetry models show a representation of how radionuclides move through the body. This study takes a look at radiation wounds by modelling a puncture wound to the hand using Microshield software. An analysis of these models provides a triangulation method that could be used to investigate wound characteristics, as...

Integration of Systems Thinking, Viable System Model, and System Dynamics toward Systemic Sustainability Assessment Methodology

Creator:: Tong, Anh B.
Abstract:: The developmental milestones of Sustainability are consistent with the post-normal versus traditional science, where transdisciplinary and policy/action research are among the important approaches to be added to traditional analysis. This shift requires a new perspective to look at the problem at hand: we are no longer considering a group of...

Half Array Architecture for Advancing Microchannel Heat Recuperation to Market

Creator:: Brannon, Samuel T.
Abstract:: High temperature microchannel heat recuperators (HTμRs) offer an efficient means of improving reactor process thermal efficiency by offering smaller form factors due to increased heat transfer surface area density and volumetric heat transfer rate over traditional heat exchanger designs. To date, HTμRs face cost and reliability challenges. In this work,...

A Proposed Social Return on Investment Reporting Tool for Oregon Nonprofit Organizations Supporting Anti-Poverty Welfare Programs

Creator:: Martin, Molly Anne
Abstract:: Nonprofit organizations are feeling increased pressure to demonstrate their service’s impacts to their investors. Social return on investment is a tool that measures the social efficiency, or social return, of services by calculating a social return ratio. While social return on investment has seen increasing use by nonprofit organizations, a...

A Functional Systems Approach to Comprehensive Emergency Management

Creator:: Al-AbdRabbuh, Sami
Abstract:: Both researchers and practitioners in fields related to emergency management (EM) use a variety of frameworks for different purposes including analysis, learning, and operations. Despite existing approaches in EM, such as comprehensive emergency management (CEM), the research community has been urged to construct a general normative theory for emergency management...

Modeling Task Prioritization Behaviors in a Time-Pressured Multitasking Environment

Creator:: Toma, Takeaki
Abstract:: Funk’s (1991) cockpit task management (CTM) theory is structurally consistent with cognitive multitasking models: it addresses managing multiple and concurrent tasks in three stages: situation awareness, response selection, and response execution. Based on CTM theory, Colvin, Funk and Braune (2005) hypothesized that the following six factors may affect task prioritization:...

The Impact of the Correlated Color Temperature of Fluorescent Lighting and its Influence on Student On-Task Behavior in an Elementary School Classroom

Creator:: Pulay, Alana S.
Abstract:: The aim of the study was to determine whether a higher correlated color temperature of the fluorescent lighting in an elementary school classroom influenced student on-task behavior as compared to fluorescent lighting with a lower correlated color temperature. A conceptual theoretical framework on interior lighting and human behavior was developed...

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...

An economic and environmental assessment model for microchannel device manufacturing

Creator:: Gao, Qi
Abstract:: A key application of microchannel process technology (MPT) is its implementation in heat exchanger devices, since a larger surface contact area can be realized than in conventional approaches, thus achieving high heat transfer efficiency. To justify high volume production of configurations validated as prototypes, and to select from among the...
