Women's commuter cycling apparel : functional design process to product

Creator:: Steinhardt, Lauren
Abstract:: Bicycle commuting is increasing in popularity due to exercise benefits, cost savings, and environmental concerns. Available specialized cycling apparel does not reflect the aesthetic and expressive needs of the bicycle commuter. Urban bicycle commuters need clothing that allows them to bicycle safely and effectively while maintaining their identity as professionals....

Wheeled Mobility Devices Performance and Passive Securement Systems

Creator:: Mather, Andrea
Abstract:: Wheeled mobility devices (WhMD) pose unique safety risks to users while riding public transportation. Unsecured or improperly secured WhMDs create safety concerns for other transit riders and operators. Tests using accelerometers and visual observations were conducted to understand how WhMD orientation and securement in articulated buses, streetcars, and light rail...

Vertical Axis Pendulum Wave Energy Converters : Investigating Control Strategies and the Deployment of a Scaled Generic Prototype

Creator:: Boren, Blake C.
Abstract:: Vertical Axis Pendulum Wave Energy Converters (VAPWECs) are thought to be both effective and robust at converting ocean wave energy into usable electricity. Seeking to build upon and investigate such potential, this work examines the merits of actively controlling a generic VAPWEC's pendulum for the purpose of increasing the converter's...

Towards reliable and survivable ocean wave energy converters

Creator:: Brown, Adam C.
Abstract:: Ocean wave energy is a new and developing field of renewable energy with great potential. The energy contained in one meter of an average wave off the coast of Newport Oregon could supply dozens of homes with electricity. However, ocean waves are usually quite irregular which leads to large bursts...

Thinning with prescribed fire and timber harvesting mechanization for fuels reduction and forest restoration

Creator:: Matzka, Peter J.
Abstract:: In the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon, prescribed fire and mechanical harvesting economics were investigated for fuels reduction and forest restoration. Using a cut-to-length harvesting system, three single-grip harvesters and three forwarders produced significantly different production rates. For the harvesters, significant variables that affected production rates were found to be:...

The quantitative evaluation of radiological workplace indicators

Creator:: Brock, Terry A.
Abstract:: Two research studies at the U.S. Department of Energy's Hanford Site and Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site (RFETS) explore the quantitative relationship between surface contamination, airborne radioactivity, worker intakes, and subsequent dose. In the first study, resuspension factors are developed and evaluated at the U.S. Department of Energy's (U.S. DOE)...

The geometric characterization and thermal performance of a microchannel heat exchanger for diesel engine waste heat recovery

Creator:: Yih, James S.
Abstract:: Rising energy demands and the continual push to find more energy efficient technologies have been the impetus for the investigation of waste heat recovery techniques. Diesel engine exhaust heat utilization has the potential to significantly reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and reduce the release of greenhouse gases, because diesel...

The Electrical Equipment of an Ocean-Going Vessel

Creator:: Groves, Del Roy and Barnett, Arthur Rex
Abstract:: The rapid advancement of electrical science has led it to invade the field of marine engineering. On ship-board, all ship's lights, search lights and signal lights are entirely electric. Of power appliances outside of uses on men of war,ship's ventilation is completely electric; electric deck winches and boat cranes are...

The determination of gasoline and alkyl benzenes in aqueous solution and the development of a remote reaction chamber for fiber optic remote sensing

Creator:: Waddle, Robert D.
Abstract:: The development and optimization of a single-phase derivatization technique for small ring aromatics in water are presented. Also described are the design, optimization and application of a remote reaction chamber for fiber optic sensing. Aqueous solutions of the major aromatic compounds in gasoline are derivatized to o-nitrosophenol-Cu complexes with a...
