  • The use of high pressure process to shuck oysters, reduce microbial load and extend shelf-life

    Creator:
    He, Haian
    Abstract:
    Whole oysters were processed under a series of pressures from 30,000 to 45,000 psi at different holding times (0, 1, and 2 min) and then stored at <4°C, for 27 d. During the shelf-life study, the quality of oysters was determined by measuring pH, moisture content, and microbial counts including...

  • Application of quality function deployment in the conceptual design of a construction project

    Creator:
    Hinkle, Verda O.
    Abstract:
    Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a product development process that assures the needs and desires of the customer are heard and heeded during the design, development and production of a product. Though it has been used successfully in other industries, only a few companies in the U. S. Engineering and...

  • Statistical quality control applied to asphalt concrete

    Creator:
    Coghlan, Gerald Thomas
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to investigate an application of statistical concepts to quality control of highway construction. The application was presented qualitatively and demonstrated quantitatively by an investigation of asphalt content in asphalt concrete. For the example, an Oregon State Highway Project was sampled and tested. The average...

  • The development and application of asystemic human error identification and remediation methodology

    Creator:
    Lee, Wei-Tau
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes a Systemic Vulnerability Identification and Remediation (SVIR) methodology that identifies human fallibilities and errors in complex technical processes, and recommends remediations for the errors, based on human factors principles and guidelines. The objectives of the research described in the thesis are the development of the methodology and...

  • Analytical method for the prediction of reliability and maintainability based life-cycle labor costs

    Creator:
    Fitzpatrick, Mark W.
    Abstract:
    An analytical method for predicting life-cycle maintainability labor costs is developed. The purpose of the analytical method is to allow the evaluation of products, based on life-cycle labor cost, early in the design process. The Boeing 737-300/400/500 Bleed Air Control System is used as a test model, and the results...
