Modeling innovativeness in consumer products with the influence of environmental sustainability

Creator:: Gilchrist, Brady
Abstract:: This thesis is the result of two research publications, which together form a framework for the evaluation of product innovativeness with potential future applications to early design. Innovation is a challenging concept to quantify. Experts seemingly have a grasp of what innovation is when they see it, however this evaluation...

Evaluating the effectiveness of interaction strategies between product developer and supply chain using activity based modeling in environmental benign product design

Creator:: Wang, Bo
Abstract:: With growing concerns on environment impact of industrial product development, the product developers are seeking better solutions to achieve desired environmental benign requirements by the regulators and customers besides economic growth. During the last decade, some of the most successful product development companies (such as HP) have established their own...

Chemometrics-based Approach for Predicting Low Temperature Combustion Engine Fuel Performance

Creator:: Daly, Shane
Abstract:: Low temperature combustion (LTC) engines offer improved efficiency and reduced emissions over traditional gasoline spark-ignited and diesel compression-ignition engines. The ability to produce fuels optimized for LTC engines could help increase efficiency and therefore improve fuel economy, insomuch that Federal fuel economy standards could be met. Currently, a fuel performance...

The Value of New Technology : View Toward Reassessment

Creator:: White, Stephen J.
Abstract:: 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...

Measuring innovativeness in the North American softwood sawmilling industry

Creator:: Knowles, Christopher David
Abstract:: Innovativeness, or the propensity of a firm to create and/or adopt new products, process and business systems, has been measured using several methods in previous research. Examples of theses methods include current technology, self-evaluation, research and development funding, the number of new products, and intellectual property. In addition to the...

The development and characterization of miniature spectrometers for measuring the redox status of environmental samples

Creator:: Cantrell, Kevin
Abstract:: A spectrometer, here denoted a Simple, Low-power, Inexpensive. Microcontroller-based or SLIM spectrometer. was developed that exploits the small size and low cost of solid-state electronic devices. This approach results in customizable spectrometers that are considerably less expensive and smaller than traditional instrumentation. The performance of the SLIM spectrometer was evaluated...

End user software engineering features for both genders

Creator:: Sorte, Shraddha
Abstract:: Previous research has revealed gender differences that impact females’ willingness to adopt software features in end users’ programming environments. Since these features have separately been shown to help end users problem solve, it is important to female end users’ productivity that we find ways to make these features more acceptable...

Yield and financial analysis of "New forestry" techniques on the McDonald and Dunn Forests

Creator:: Bartlett, David M.
Abstract:: In the Pacific Northwest, a transition has begun that is shifting many practices in forest management. Traditionally, harvesting and regeneration has been done through clearcutting which removes all trees in the area being cut and plants an entirely new stand. Clearcutting is often the most efficient method for harvesting forests...
