My project is designed to determine how the English major and English Studies exist at OSU, through the collection of perceptions and opinions about English Studies at OSU from students and faculty (both inside and outside of the English department) via email surveys. I used secondary research to determine how...
A sawmill is similar to other manufacturing enterprises when it comes to making decisions, scheduling production and meeting customer demands. In order to help sawmills achieve their goals, and because there is such a high degree of variability in the raw material used in this industry, computer simulation has proven...
In Fall of 2006, Provost Sabah Randhawa convened the University IT Committee (UITC) to review OSU’s information infrastructure and develop a shared institutional vision for the teaching, research and administrative needs of OSU for the next decade that helps the university achieve its long-term goals. The UITC will help the...

1. Introduction
In Fall of 2006, Provost Sabah Randhawa convened the
The researcher explored interpersonal trust (a construct from the fields of psychology
and sociometry) in the context of engineering work groups. The study explored the potential
antecedents of trust and the relationships among trust, creativity, communication, emotional
empathy and positive affect. The study attempts to argue that 1) trust is...
The objective of many simulations is to study the
steady-state behavior of a nonterminating system. The
initial conditions of the system are often atypical because
of the complexity of the system. Simulators often start
the simulation with the system empty and idle, and
truncate, or delete, some quantity of the...
Abraham Heschel wrote that a philosopher's primary task was not merely to describe and judge the modes and facts of actual human behavior, but also to examine and understand the meaninq of those descriptions and judgements of modes and facts (Bella, 1978). Our values are critically tied to our structures...
Cellular Manufacturing Systems (CMS) have provided
significant increase in manufacturing productivity over the
last two decades. This has been achieved because CMS can
overcome the problems due to frequent setups, high in-process
inventories, long throughput times and complex
planning and coordination commonly associated with a batch-type
manufacturing operation. The underlying...
Human operator performance was evaluated using two
types of displays in a simulated ocean surveillance task.
The two types of displays studied included a display in
which position uncertainty information was given (polygon
display) and a display in which uncertainty was not
explicitly shown (line display). The experimental task
was...
