The Origins Of The Occupational Safety And Health Act Of 1970, Patrick G. Donnelly

Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work Faculty Publications

This paper analyzes the emergence of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 and finds previous explanations of its origin inadequate. I trace the roots of this law to the protests of rank-and-file workers across the United States at a time when the support of these workers was particularly important to the two main political parties. The protest was directed not only at those employers who operated unsafe and unhealthy workplaces, but also at union officials who paid little or no attention to safety and health issues in negotiating new contracts.

Energy-Efficient Clothing, Interior Architecture And Furnishing Designs: Consumer Attitudes, Acceptability Levels And Preferences, Barbara Parks

Home Economics and Family Living Theses

Energy-efficient designs in clothing, interior architecture and furnishings were evaluated (a) to assess consumers’ attitudes toward the designs, (b) to compare acceptability levels of participants who were knowledgeable in the home energy field with those who were less knowledgeable and (c) to determine if consumers had a preference for using housing, clothing or furnishings in meeting their thermal comfort needs. Four designs generated by the University of Tennessee-Energy Design competition were evaluated: a leisure outfit, a lounging dress, a water-storage collector (room divider and coffee tables) and a solar waterbed. Rogers and Shoemaker’s perceived attributes of innovations model (relative advantage, …

Ord River Irrigation Area Of Western Australia - Background Information For Prospective Farmers, Western Australian Department Of Agriculture

Farm Systems and Economics published reports

The Ord Irrigation Project is located in the Shire of Wyndham-East Kimberley in the far north of the State of Western Australia.

The potential for harnessing northern rivers was realised many years ago. In 1941, a small experimental farm was established on the Ord, and possible dam sites were investigated upstream.

In 1945, this small experimental farm was relocated and the Kimberley Research Station was established on Ivanhoe Plain, part of the 12,000 hectare area now irrigated from Lake Kununurra above the Diversion Dam.

By 1958, the Western Australian Government was convinced of the viability of an irrigation scheme on …

Portfolio Management Techniques For The Selection Of Stock/Option Positions, Robin Scott Symes

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

Stock options are distinguished from more conventional investment vehicles by the contingent claim status of the option and the dependence of the value of the option on the value of a related common stock. As a result of these properties, portfolios which include options behave differently from diversified equity portfolios consisting of common stocks alone. The behavior of portfolios which include options is the primary focus of this research. Assuming that risk-averse investors maximize utility by minimizing risk at every level of expected return, a technique for constructing stock/option portfolios is devised. If option prices conform to the equilibrium values …

Distribution System Design: A Problem-Solving Approach, Mohammed Ali Chowdhury Hakim

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper presents a methodology for designing an effective two-echelon multicommodity distribution network. Addressing key logistics issues, such as warehouse location and product distribution, the model integrates cost and service trade-offs, regional warehousing practices, and shipment alternatives. Unlike previous models, this approach offers comprehensive problem representation and accurate cost structure, enhancing solution quality and flexibility. Using a linear programming (LP) approach, it generates solutions within 3% of the optimum for all tested cases. Comparative evaluation against existing models highlights its superior problem representation, computational efficiency, and analytical versatility. The study emphasizes the importance of a global consideration of design alternatives …

Development And Implementation Of A Large Scale Linear Programming Code, Taher Esshaghi-Bayat

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The objective of this research is to develop a computationally efficient computer code for solving large linear programming (LP) problems up to size (100 x 400). This program can handle upper and lower bounds on variables without affecting the size of the constraint set. The value of nonbasic variables can be initiated at a prespecified value other than its lower or upper bound by using the concept of superbasic variables. Multiple problems can also be run in one compilation. This program uses additional features to improve computational efficiency and to allow the solution of large-scale problems. These features include: 1) …
