The Effects of Lean Manufacturing on Occupational Safety and Ergonomics
(2022-11-29)
The association between Lean Manufacturing (LM) and occupational safety and ergonomics (S/E) is a widely disputed topic in scientific literature. This study attempts to add clarity to this controversial relationship through ...
Do structural and compositional shifts in mixed pine-oak forests alter fuels and fire behavior?
(2022-11-29)
The lack of fire disturbances throughout the 20th century has contributed to forest
structural and compositional shifts, resulting in the encroachment of shade-tolerant and often
fire-sensitive hardwood species in ...
Study of interactions and stability of pyrethroids and cellulose allomorphs for controlled release applications
(2022-11-29)
The study of controlled release materials is a growing field for applications like agricultural, biomedical, and insecticidal fibers. Cellulose, because of its abundance and ability to be modified and regenerated into many ...
A New Elections Federalism: Dual Election Administration Systems
(2022-11-29)
Dual election administration systems have a substantial history in the United States with differing characteristics over time and place. A dual election administration system creates categories of voters who are only ...
Blood Stress Hormonal Indicators and Meat Quality Attributes of Broiler Chickens Processed Using Electrical and Controlled Atmosphere Stunning Systems
(2022-11-28)
Increased consumer concern for animal welfare has led some poultry producers to alter their stunning methods from electrical stunning (ES) to controlled atmosphere stunning (CAS). However, there is little peer-reviewed ...
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum: Yield Loss of Brassica carinata in the Southeastern United States and Effect of Fungicides and Light Wavelength.
(2022-11-28)
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a major pathogen of over 400 plant species around the world and is considered to be the biggest threat to the production of Brassica carinata in the southeastern United States. Brassica carinata ...
WELDED WIRE SHEAR REINFORCEMENT FOR PRESTRESSED CONCRETE BRIDGE GIRDERS
(2022-11-28)
Welded wire reinforcement (WWR) is a steel product that is prefabricated into welded
sheets. While this product is seeing use as shear reinforcement in precast concrete
bridge girders for some states, other states, such ...
Genetic Assessment of Alabama's Redeye Bass (Micropterus coosae)
(2022-11-28)
The southeastern United States is a hotspot for aquatic biodiversity that is under constant threat of extirpation and extinction due to human disturbance. Molecular markers are relatively new tools that are applicable to ...
Evaluating alternatives for the implementation of Curve Number in SWMM for an urbanized watershed
(2022-11-27)
Modeling hydrological abstraction, particularly infiltration, in urbanized areas is a complex task. Without field validation data, researchers and engineers often rely on readily available methodologies on semi-empirical ...
