Functional analysis to inform early design decisions for novel systems with substantial operations and maintenance costs

Creator:: Algarra, Nathan
Abstract:: Long field-life systems are those for which operational, as opposed to capital, expenditures dominate the life time cost of the system. In established product categories, operational experience and historical maintenance data allows engineers to make informed decisions influencing maintenance during the early design stages when design changes are at their...

Wave Energy From Idea, to Concept, to Converter: Structuring Methods for Design and Evaluation of Wave Energy Devices

Creator:: Trueworthy, Ali May
Abstract:: The amount of energy we use and the ways that we get that energy sit on the edge of dramatic change as the carbon budget which can keep the planet under 1.5C of global average temperature increase gets smaller (Allen, 2018). In response, we continue to research and develop renewable...

Corporate involvement in FOSS projects : an in-depth look at corporate contributions and implications for project governance

Creator:: Forrest, Darren J.
Abstract:: Free / Open Source Software developers come from a myriad of different backgrounds. While some contribute for personal reasons, many become involved because they receive compensation from corporations or foundations. The motivation for participating in a project can have dramatic impacts on how and what contribution an individual makes. These...

Integrative Review of Methods for Cognitive Debiasing and Applications in Design

Creator:: Han, Yu L.
Abstract:: Design is a process of decision making. Organizations that are dedicated to systematic support of the design process tend to have higher profit margins. Further, studies of system development have shown that early-stage design mistakes have a large impact on incurred costs. Therefore, it is critical to identify methods to...

Contributions to substrate noise due to supply coupling and pin parasitics

Creator:: Adluri, Sirisha
Abstract:: This thesis presents the contributions to substrate noise due to supply coupling and the effect of pin parasitics on the substrate noise generated by digital circuits. Various sources of substrate noise and their effect on analog circuits sharing the same substrate are discussed. A simulation approach to isolate the various...

Identifying and prioritizing research gaps for the incorporation of fires in life cycle analysis of structures: A Delphi survey of international experts

Creator:: Thorp, Tiana Noelani
Abstract:: Civil engineers are aware of the impacts of structures on the global environment but the environmental impacts of a fire within these structures remains unknown. Fires present a unique hazard as it is difficult to predict the probability of the occurrence and the intensity. Traditional methods to identify the environmental...

Performance of five winter wheat cultivars when grown in composite and pure stand populations under different environmental stresses

Creator:: Indelen, Erdogan
Abstract:: Five genetically and morphologically different winter wheat cultivars, Hyslop (H), Yamhill (Y), Paha (P), Luke (L), and Sprague (5) were blended in all possible combinations. These composites plus the five pure stands were planted in the fall of 1973 at three environmentally diverse locations in Oregon: Hyslop Agronomy Farm, Corvallis;...

Evaluating complex engineered systems using complex network representations

Creator:: Haley, Brandon M.
Abstract:: This thesis is the combination of two research publications working toward a unified strategy in which to represent complex engineered systems as complex networks. Current engineered system modeling techniques segment large complex models into multiple groups to be simulated independently. These methods restrict the evaluations of such complex systems as...

Behavioral adaptations and the minimization of reproductive costs in the male red-sided garter snake, Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis.

Creator:: O'Donnell, Ryan P.
Abstract:: The benefits of reproduction are clear, but there are also costs. Much is known about the costs of reproduction in females, but only recently have male costs been investigated in any depth. These costs of reproduction may be minimized by appropriately modifying behavior, but there has been little research on...

Seasonal occurrence and abundance of insect pests and natural enemies in the Columbia Basin

Creator:: Klein, Matthew L.
Abstract:: Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the fourth largest food crop in the world following rice (Oryza sativa L.), wheat (Triticum spp.), and maize (Zea mays subs. mays). Potatoes arrived in the United States in the early 1600s and over the following centuries, the crop was subsequently cultivated across the country...
