Contaminated Equipment Packing And Transportation, Vladimir Zado Jan 2001

Contaminated Equipment Packing And Transportation, Vladimir Zado

Theses

The nuclear power plants are significant source of the equipment contamination by radioactive particles. Versatile equipment is used during plant operation and/or maintenance and is contaminated while performing required operations. Usually, the decontamination of used equipment is performed but in many cases the residual level of contamination is still higher than allowed for unconditional release. The usual routine is to apply the same equipment for the maintenance works of other nuclear power plants. Such approach gains the problem of packaging of the contaminated equipment into applicable containers and transportation of these containers to other nuclear facility where equipment is unpacked …


Cleaner Production Among Multinational Corporations In Southeast Asia, Nguyen Phan Duy Nguyen Jan 2001

Cleaner Production Among Multinational Corporations In Southeast Asia, Nguyen Phan Duy Nguyen

Theses

Cleaner Production (CP) represents the change from a conventional end-of-pipe treatment attitude to a proactive approach to pollution prevention and increased production efficiency. CP has been successfully implemented in developing countries, including the countries of the Association of Southeast Asia Nations (ASEAN). ASEAN is becoming an economic development center in Asia, attracting a large amount of foreign direct investments from multinational corporations during the last two decades. However, success in economic development has been accompanied by environmental problems. Understanding the level of CP practices among ASEAN's multinational corporations (MNCs) and National Cleaner Production Centers/Cleaner Production (NCPCs/CP) organizations is important to …


Ina Brand Motor Oil Packaging System Optimization, Ivan Kresic Jan 2001

Ina Brand Motor Oil Packaging System Optimization, Ivan Kresic

Theses

This paper explores the possibility of INA brand motor oil packaging system optimization. Research has been conducted in order to recognize the typical failure pattern of one-liter motor oil container, according to ASTM D2659-84. The findings of this study identify an opportunity for improvement in primary package design, as well as an overall reduction in expenditure for motor oils packaging as a function of improved distribution process. Based on significant cost savings achieved by packaging system optimization, this project study recommends implementation of the project at INA Maziva Rijeka.


Regulatory Distortions Of Local Exchange Telecommunications Infrastructure, Gregg Sayre Jan 2001

Regulatory Distortions Of Local Exchange Telecommunications Infrastructure, Gregg Sayre

Theses

This thesis presents a history of United States telecommunications regulation in the 20th Century with a view toward explaining the economic motivations of the involved parties and exploding economic myths such as "natural monopoly" and "cross subsidization" by the application of common sense. The relative success and failure of antitrust and economic regulation are analyzed on a subjective but quantitative scale, with antitrust regulation as the clear winner in terms of the author's standard of "public interest." The thesis examines specific economic incentives resulting directly from economic regulation, in particular, rate-of- return regulation and the FCC's interpretations of the Telecommunications …


High Precision Solder Droplet Printing Technology: Principle And Applications, Qingbin Liu, M. Orme, Ming-Chuan Leu Jan 2001

High Precision Solder Droplet Printing Technology: Principle And Applications, Qingbin Liu, M. Orme, Ming-Chuan Leu

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Solder droplet printing technology, which is low-cost, noncontact, flexible, data-driven, and environmentally friendly, has emerged as an enabling technology for precisely placing fine solder deposits on a variety of small substrates. It is suitable for a variety of applications including direct chip attach site preparation, 3D substrates, fine line interconnect, substrate via fill, optoelectronics and many others. It enables manufacturing techniques that are impossible or unfeasible with current technology, such as localized replacement of solder on board, depositing solder in different thicknesses on the same board, or using more than one type of solder on the same board. This makes …


Optimised Manufacture, Packing And Distribution Of E-Fluted Corrugated Detergent Containers, Enis Kancelir Jan 2001

Optimised Manufacture, Packing And Distribution Of E-Fluted Corrugated Detergent Containers, Enis Kancelir

Theses

E-fluted corrugated containers are widely used on the European markets and other markets world-wide. The production of this type of containers is therefore very important in the area of detergent packing and distribution. It is very important to improve and develop such forms of packing. This paper shows the method of packing which is as effective as the one we have used by now, but which involves significant reduction in the costs of operation. Additional rationalisation has been also defined by adequate ASTM testing methods.


Evaluation Of Bond Graph Based Object Oriented Approach To Determination Of Natural Frequencies Of Packaging System Elements, Vladimir Jaram Jan 2001

Evaluation Of Bond Graph Based Object Oriented Approach To Determination Of Natural Frequencies Of Packaging System Elements, Vladimir Jaram

Theses

Packaged items passing through distribution system encounter vibrations. It needs to be examined what happens to an object, packaged or unpackaged, in the distribution environment when it is subject to outside vibrations, so that we may predict its behavior resulting from distribution vibrations. To prevent product loss from both static and dynamic forces encountered in distribution, corporations are turning in increasing numbers to services of package engineering. This work evaluates the application of Bond Graphs Based Object-Oriented Approach to Determination of Natural Frequencies of Packaging System Elements. Using the Bond Graph, a model of the Package-product system under testing was …


The Effect Of Software Requirements Analysis On Project Success And Product Quality, Vera Berenbaum Jan 2001

The Effect Of Software Requirements Analysis On Project Success And Product Quality, Vera Berenbaum

Theses

This paper will demonstrate that the general project management principles' regarding requirements analysis also hold true for software development projects. According to conventional project management wisdom, sound requirements analysis and scope definition tends to improve quality planning, thereby reducing project cost and duration, increasing project success and improving the quality of the resulting product. This paper will demonstrate that software development projects tend to challenge this time-proven notion. The paper will also demonstrate that the software development industry pays a high price for these practices by suffering longer project schedules, higher costs and producing poorer quality products by rushing requirements …


International Graduate Student Expectations At Rit, Zeneida Granados Jan 2001

International Graduate Student Expectations At Rit, Zeneida Granados

Theses

Information is a key to seeing problems and experiences encountered by international graduate students while studying abroad. Consequent adaptations to new surroundings have been suggested from several perspectives. Services offered on-campus could help international graduate students to achieve their main goal: to be successful in their professional and social life. Success could commence from the initial contemplation or decision of studying abroad and might continue throughout their prolonged stay if continuous support was available from the staff and customized services in the college or university selected. Conducting sixteen face-to-face interviews (using open-ended questions) and two focus groups of four students …
