Risk-based design for multidisciplinary complex systems

Creator:: Farhangmehr, Farzaneh
Abstract:: The ultimate goal of large-scale design organizations are mainly to reduce costs and improve reliability and performance of systems while assessing how much risk (cost, schedule, scope) they can take and still remain competitive. To achieve this goal they need to develop tools to reach the most preferred design product...

Multivariate control charts for nonconformities

Creator:: Chattinnawat, Wichai
Abstract:: When the nonconformities are independent, a multivariate control chart for nonconformities called a demerit control chart using a distribution approximation technique called an Edgeworth Expansion, is proposed. For a demerit control chart, an exact control limit can be obtained in special cases, but not in general. A proposed demerit control...

Institutional capacity building through land and water stewardship integration - an analysis of source water protection in Corvallis, Oregon

Creator:: Odom, Olivia
Abstract:: Globally, access to safe, reliable drinking water sources is a major challenge of this generation. Protected sources of drinking water provide communities with a sustainable, vital resource, yet many public water suppliers lack legal authority over their source water protection (SWP) area, especially in surface water systems. Absence of legal...

Variation of drought resistance and root regeneration among genotypes of Port-Orford-cedar (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana)

Creator:: Sharpe, Jodie M.
Abstract:: Drought resistance among genotypes of Port-Orford-cedar (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (A. Murr.) Pan., Cupressaceae) seedlings was evaluated both in the field and in the greenhouse. Field water potentials (Ψ) of 5-year-old seedlings were measured at two high-elevation plantation sites where summer drought occurs. Measurements of Ψ were compared to survival two years...

Agricultural cooperatives and their international business arrangements

Creator:: Henderson, Erin Michael
Abstract:: World food markets are becoming increasingly interconnected as firms seek to sell their products not only in domestic markets but in international ones as well. Moreover, processed and high-value consumer-oriented products represent an increasing share of total agricultural exports. This growing international market may have implications for the future competitiveness...

How environmental regulations affect productivity of U.S. and Mexican primary iron & steel and aluminum industries

Creator:: Hackenbruck, Satenik
Abstract:: Many economists believe that the slowdown of the productivity growth rates in the U.S. economy in early 1970's was a consequence of the increased level of environmental regulations. The main reason presented in support of this argument is that increased environmental regulations impose an additional burden to the firms, thus...

Seasonal hydrology explains interannual and seasonal variation in carbon and water exchange in a semiarid mature ponderosa pine forest in central Oregon

Creator:: Thomas, Christoph, Law, Beverly E., Irvine, James, Martin, Jonathan, Pettijohn, J. Cory, and Davis, Kent J.
Abstract:: We analyzed 7 years (2002–2008) of micrometeorological and concurrent biological observations of carbon and water fluxes at a mature ponderosa pine forest in central Oregon in a semiarid climate. We sought to evaluate the extent that gross primary productivity, net ecosystem exchange, ecosystem respiration, net primary productivity, net ecosystem productivity,...

Influence of ankle orthoses on ankle joint motion and postural stability before and after exercise

Creator:: Jorden, Ryan A.
Abstract:: Ankle injuries comprise more than 15% of all sports injuries worldwide. The efficacy of the ankle taping for injury prevention has long been under scrutiny as numerous studies have shown that tape rapidly loses its ability to constrain ankle motion with exercise. Consequently, ankle braces (orthoses) are being used with...

Essays on market imperfection

Creator:: Sohn, Saeyoon
Abstract:: This dissertation addresses two topics on market imperfections. First, chapter 2 presents a theoretical model that focuses on problems associated with informational asymmetry. The model presents a dynamic signaling game between a monopolist manufacturer and a monopolist retailer, where demand is uncertain and only the retailer is privately informed. This...
