Improving Safety of the Platform-Train-Interface Through Operational and Technical Mitigation Strategies

Creator:: Anderson, Dylan
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to provide background information and examples of best practices relating to platform-train-interface (PTI) safety. The research and information obtained for this manuscript has been in association with the A-40 project funded by the Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) of the National Academies. The purpose...

Investigating socio-technical factors in short-term continuous improvement project effectiveness

Creator:: Stelson, Paul Martinez
Abstract:: Lean manufacturing, or more generally continuous improvement (CI), has been the methodology behind significant improvements in quality, work in process inventory reductions, lead time reduction and cost reduction while conversely being associated with failed implementations and occasionally with unpopular work practices. This research focused on promoting understanding of CI methodology...

Utilization of Low-value Lumber from Small-diameter Timber Harvested in Pacific Northwest Forest Restoration Programs in Hybrid Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) Core Layers: Technical Feasibility

Creator:: Lawrence, Christina
Abstract:: Each year the United States: Forest Service (USFS) spends billions of dollars fighting forest fires. One strategy used by the USFS to prevent catastrophic fires is through forest restoration programs, in which potential forest fuel is removed through mechanized thinning. This program is expensive and generates high volumes of small-diameter...

Growth of Staphylococcus aureus of enterotoxin production in pre-cooked tuna meat

Creator:: Wu, Xulei
Abstract:: Staphylococcus aureus is a human pathogen capable of producing enterotoxins causing staphylococcal food poisoning, one of the most economically important foodborne diseases in the U.S. This pathogen may be introduced to pre-cooked tuna meat used for the production of canned tuna because significant manual handling occurs after cooking of the...

Potential utilization of western juniper residues

Creator:: Sichamba, Kennedy
Abstract:: Logging and forest thinning operations generate large amounts of residues in the form of small trees, branches and foliage that are usually left on the ground to decay or are burned. These resources are readily available, but it is uneconomical to remove them from the forest. The potential utilization of...

Heat flow results from plate boundary observatory boreholes in California

Creator:: McDonald, Kyle Joseph
Abstract:: An integral component to understanding lithospheric rheology, fault mechanics, and geodynamic processes is knowledge of the subsurface thermal regime. This study presents thermal data from 26 new borehole sites drilled during the installation of borehole strain meters as part of the Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO). These data extends existing coverage...

Towards a Conceptual Change Model to Support Organizational Change Efforts

Creator:: Hille, Joshua D.
Abstract:: Many projects fail because employees and managers have different understandings of project "success" or "value". Other projects fail because managers are unable to effectively align organizational values with those of their employees. This problem is widely understood, but there is little empirical research that specifies the nature and effect of...

Challenging the System : The Role of Community Choice Aggregation in California's Transition to a Renewable Energy Future

Creator:: Gunther, Stephen J.
Abstract:: Transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources has been identified by governments throughout the world as a key strategy for reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing sustainability and resiliency, and supporting local economies. Despite these benefits, this transition has been slow in the United States, causing some...

The use of surface energy balance models as a means to quantify changes in glacier mass balance : an application to the Collier Glacier

Creator:: Beedlow, Andrew Cody
Abstract:: This thesis presents the results of an investigation into the measured and modeled mass balance of the Collier Glacier, a small (0.70 km²), valley glacier located in the Oregon Cascade Range (44° 10' N, 121° 47' W). Here we present mass-balance measurements conducted for the 2009 and 2010 balance years...

A review of the Lepturinae (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) of the Pacific Northwest, with special attention to the elderberry longhorn beetle, Desmocerus Dejean

Creator:: Schapker, Philip A.
Abstract:: Here presented is a photographic catalogue, a key, and literature review for the 35 genera and 90 species of lepturine longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae: Lepturinae) found in the Pacific Northwest. Several nomenclatural changes, recognized by the global taxonomic community, but previously unknown to North American authors, are adopted, and one new...
