Business decisions for voluntary environmental management : Motivations, actions, and outcomes

Creator:: Hall, Teresa M.
Abstract:: This study develops theoretical and empirical models to analyze the motivations and outcomes of Oregon business decisions for voluntary environmental management. More specifically, the following issues are explored in this study: What motivates a facility to over-comply with environmental regulations? Why does a facility adopt an environmental management plan (EMP)?...

Ecological Consequences of Marine Debris: Understanding Large-Scale Species Transport on Tsunami Debris and Research Priorities in Oregon

Creator:: Gillman, Reva A.
Abstract:: The release of marine debris into the oceans and seas is a global issue of growing concern. These materials are harmful to marine environments and can also transport non-native species to novel habitats. Non-native species floating on marine litter is one of the lesser known impacts associated with marine debris....

The determinants of library prices of biology journals : an econometric analysis

Creator:: Phillips, Irina
Abstract:: Increases in the prices of scholarly journals have exceeded the general rate of inflation for the last decade and more. In the face of this "serials crisis," libraries have found it increasingly difficult to maintain essential journal collections. This thesis investigates the causes of the serials crisis in biology using...

Environmental Regulations Reconsidered : Identifying Incentives and Barriers to Environmental Performance

Creator:: Craig, Kathleen D.
Abstract:: Attention has been drawn to the observation that environmental benefits under the current regulatory approaches are diminishing with respect to increased pollution control costs. Regulators have begun to appreciate that while environmental gains can still be achieved under the current command and control system, the most significant environmental gains have...

Are graduating B.S. Engineering students with Environmental Safety and Health (ES&H) education more likely to gain employment compared with those who do not have ES&H education?

Creator:: Leary, Mitchell
Abstract:: The Accreditation Board for Engineering Technology (ABET) requires that safety and health be integrated into an engineering curriculum in order to be accredited. These criteria for safety and health requirements, however, are not clearly defined. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has initiated Project SHAPE (Safety and...

An economic and environmental assessment model for microchannel device manufacturing

Creator:: Gao, Qi
Abstract:: A key application of microchannel process technology (MPT) is its implementation in heat exchanger devices, since a larger surface contact area can be realized than in conventional approaches, thus achieving high heat transfer efficiency. To justify high volume production of configurations validated as prototypes, and to select from among the...
