The effects of CI tools and implementation practices on hospital performance

Creator:: Holliday, John W.
Abstract:: Continuous Improvement (CI) is an integral part of hospital administration. This study examined the relationship between five CI variables against six hospital criterion measures of, wait times to prepare a room, patient costs per day, waiting time for lab results, reportable errors, patient satisfaction, and employee satisfaction. The research was...

Exploring the Magnetic Properties of Specific Grain-Sizes to Understand Marine Depositional Systems: A Case Study from the Eirik Ridge South of Greenland over the Last Glacial Cycle

Creator:: Freiberg, Benjamin T.
Abstract:: Disentangling sediment source from sediment transport is a fundamental marine geologic challenge critical to the interpretation of any sedimentary record. The Eirik Ridge, a sediment drift south of Greenland, receives terrigenous sediment primarily from subglacial erosion of south Greenland’s Precambrian bedrock and Paleogene volcanics that outcrop in east Greenland and...

Community Ecology and Population Genomics of Rhizopogon in the Madrean Sky Island Archipelago

Creator:: Piña Páez, Carolina G.
Abstract:: Anthropogenic induced climate change is predicted to alter distribution of existing plant populations. As plants migrate over space and time, populations often fragment and contract, affecting basic elements of population dynamics (e.g., population size, gene flow, genetic diversity, etc.). Little is known, however, how these impacts on plant species will...

Decision-Making for Cross-Laminated Timber Modular Construction Logistics Using Discrete-Event Simulation

Creator:: Abiri, Bahar
Abstract:: The two primary considerations for construction project management are budget and time management. Modular construction has the potential to improve construction productivity by minimizing time and costs while improving safety and quality. Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) panels are beneficial for modular construction due to the high level of prefabrication, adequate dimensional...

Measuring protein metal binding via mass spectrometry : copper, zinc superoxide dismutase and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Creator:: Rhoads, Timothy W.
Abstract:: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating disease characterized by the progressive degeneration of motor neurons. Dominantly-inherited mutations to the antioxidant enzyme Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) cause 3-6% of all ALS cases. The complete mechanism behind the toxicity of mutant SOD1 remains unclear, although significant evidence points to aberrant or...

Submarine earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and ambient noise in the Northeast Pacific

Creator:: Haxel, Joseph H.
Abstract:: Passive hydrophone technologies and a variety of acoustic methods are applied in the deep-ocean and shallow water coastal environments of the northeast Pacific. A catalog derived from U.S. Navy regional hydrophone array recordings of acoustic T- phases from seafloor earthquakes is examined, describing space/time patterns through empirical orthogonal function analysis...

Los Pioneros de Oregon: An Examination of the Loss and Revitalization of Tejano Cultural Identity

Creator:: Leach, Jessie
Abstract:: Each year, numerous people attend cultural events in the United States, be they large celebrations such as New Orleans’ Mardi Gras or one of many numerous Cinco de Mayo festivals throughout the country or smaller, more specialized events. Many times, the cultural aspects take a backseat to profits, which leads...

Qualitative Perspective of Student Success by First Generation Students Participating in Developmental Education Programs

Creator:: Esparza, Edward
Abstract:: This literature seeks to broadly examine historical literature and information pertaining to developmental education in the community colleges and its relationship with the college success. Contextually, the review will examine factors that affect student perception to academic success while being required to participate in remedial course work. Although issues surrounding...

Phylogenomics and Evolution of Ground Beetles, with an Emphasis on the Speciose Tribes Chlaeniini and Bembidiini (Coleoptera: Carabidae)

Creator:: Pflug, James M.
Abstract:: In this dissertation, I investigate the evolution and genomes of carabid beetles, a worldwide family of over 38,000 species. I focus on two species-rich groups, the tribes Chlaeniini and Bembidiini, both of which are primarily found on the shores of bodies of water. The former are distinctive for their defensive...

Vertical distribution patterns of plankton and their relationship to physical factors over the continental shelf off Oregon

Creator:: Sutor, Malinda
Abstract:: Discrete layers of phytoplankton and zooplankton were observed over the Oregon continental shelf in summer and fall of 2001 and summer 2002 using optical and acoustical technologies and a pump sampling system. Layers of phytoplankton had steep vertical gradients which were associated with gradients in density and local peaks in...
