This study was designed to determine the survival of Vibrio
parahaemolyticus in salted oysters as prepared in Korea. Three
levels of salt concentration were included; 3.0%, 6.8%, and 10.6%
of the weight of the raw oysters. Two methods were used to inoculate
the products, surface-inoculation and injection into the oysters,...
The purpose of this study is to investigate the direction of future
Korean industrial engineering education and to suggest how U.S.
experiences can guide Korean developments. The leading indicator
concept, correlation coefficients are utilized.
The following statistical relationships were developed and the
following educational and practical industrial engineering trends in...
This dissertation is an attempt at developing a method for the analysis and estimation of the effects of disruptions due to uncertainties. Such uncertainties may result from design changes and engineering drawing delays in large-scale, complex, research and development, or construction projects.
In order to provide management with a simple...
In this thesis the concept of inhomogeneous
dielectrics is demonstrated for various optical coating
applications. Compositionally-varying silicon oxynitride
(SiON) dielectric layers, with the refractive index
varying as a function of position, are grown by computer-controlled
plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition
(PECVD) using silane, nitrogen, and nitrous oxide reactant
gases. Compositionally graded...
Oregon SpeedCode Universe (OSU) is a rapid prototyping system which automates the production of applications from a description of the user interface. GraphLab is a domain-specific tool which deals with several major problems concerning OSU: (1) limited functionality, that is, lacking graphical capabilities in generated applications, (2) indirect approach to...
Substrate switching noise is becoming a concern as integrated circuits get larger and speeds get faster. Mixed-mode integrated circuits are especially affected as the substrate noise interferes with sensitive analog circuits resulting in limited signal to noise ratios. This thesis serves to study the cause of the noise at the...
This research sought to determine the origin of bitterness as a result of dry-hopping. An unhopped ale was dry-hopped and examined in the controlled dry-hop experiment and commercial beers were examined for chemical changes from dry-hopping in the commercially dry-hopped beer survey. This thesis work suggested specific bitter hop components...
Oregon strawberries are known for their high quality, intense flavor, sweetness, and rich red color. With optimal weather conditions, including rainy and mild seasons, Oregon has one of the best strawberry farming environments. Amongst the factors for a suitable strawberry farming environment, soil significantly influences strawberry growth and quality. The...
