Institutional Path Dependence in NASA’s Human Spaceflight Program: A Case Study of Technological Evolution and Persistence

Creator:: Waddell, Trevor W.
Abstract:: Despite extensive research on the historical and technical aspects of national space policy, little has attempted to understand the links between technological evolution in NASA’s spaceflight program in relation to its administrative, political and economic context. This essay explores these connections in the development and evolution of core systems in...

Case Study : Description of a Corporate University's Operational Factors

Creator:: Ewer, Gary
Abstract:: Corporate universities (CUs) have been in existence in the United States since the early 1900s. They are increasingly providing educational and developmental opportunities for workers; however, there is little empirical research on these types of organizations. This study examined a specific electrical distributor's CU using a theoretical framework as a...

The natural history of public works development

Creator:: Robertson, Robert A.
Abstract:: A case study of the Eugene Water and Electric Board's planning for the Minto Hydroelectric is examined in terms of social movement theory. It is hypothesized that public works projects have a significant likeness to a social movement and they conform in their essential ingredients to social movement explanations. The...

The Characterization of Underwater Infrasound Generated by Vibratory Pile Driving Within the Context of the Characteristics of Sound Known to Result in Avoidance Response by Juvenile Salmonids

Creator:: Carlson, Thomas J.
Abstract:: Little data exists to document the nature of sound generated by vibratory pile driving and the response salmon to that sound. The construction of a new pier at Oregon State University's Hatfield Marine Science Center in 1996 offered the opportunity to monitor the sound. The findings were then related to...

Introducing the Concept of Foundational Attributes and Project Metabolism to Assess Construction Project Similarity

Creator:: Zhang, Fan
Abstract:: A construction project is considered to be unique due to the process of delivering a customer-designed product, diverse stakeholders involved, the unique location and timeframe of construction, and specific social, economic, and environmental constraints attached to it. The uniqueness of construction projects brought great challenges to the construction industry professionals...

Composition of conglomerates analyzed by the Curiosity rover: Implications for Gale Crater crust and sediment sources

Creator:: Mangold, N., Thompson, L. M., Forni, O., Williams, A. J., Fabre, C., Le Deit, L., Wiens, R. C., Williams, R., Anderson, R. B., Blaney, D. L., Calef, F., Cousin, A., Clegg, S. M., Dromart, G., Dietrich, W. E., Edgett, K. S., Fisk, M. R., Gasnault, O., Gellert, R., Grotzinger, J. P., Kah, L., Le Mouélic, L., McLennan, S. M., Maurice, S., Meslin, P-Y., Newsom, H. E., Palucis, M. C., Rapin, W., Sautter, V., Siebach, K. L., Stack, K., Sumner, D., and Yingst, A.
Abstract:: The Curiosity rover has analyzed various detrital sedimentary rocks at Gale Crater, among which fluvial and lacustrine rocks are predominant. Conglomerates correspond both to the coarsest sediments analyzed and the least modified by chemical alteration, enabling us to link their chemistry to that of source rocks on the Gale Crater...

Shape transformation using compactly supported radial basis functions

Creator:: Park, Byungsoo
Abstract:: Shape transformation is a technique for gradually changing one geometric shape to another. A recent approach presents the use of thin-plate radial basis functions as opposed to traditional "blobby sphere" implicit functions. Without the explicit evaluation of he energy function, this approach combined the two traditional steps into one by...

Creator:: Le, Hang Thi
Abstract:: The first project of this thesis is an in vitro study. This study was performed with 8 hydrocortisone topical products on the market for the purpose of comparing one Tec Lab product, a Corticool gel, to the other seven common products on the market. The permeation of these products was...
