The Relationship Between Management Training And Other Predictor Variables And Managerial Performance Among Selected Industrial First-Line Supervisors, Joseph Thomas Martelli
Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
The purpose of this study was to determine whether a relationship exists between industrial first-line supervisors' participation in management training programs and subsequent job related performance as assessed by the subjects' overall management by objectives (MBO) performance appraisal rating .
Also, the relationship between managerial performance and predictor variables (age, years of supervisory experience, formal education level, self development, prior management training, and professional society involvement) was assessed.
Twenty-three first-line supervisors from a medium sized manufacturing organization participated in the study. A questionnaire was designed which extracted measures on the predictor variables from the subjects. Corporate management supplied the measure …
A Monte Carlo Approach To Ridge Discriminant Analysis, Lee Wooldridge
A Monte Carlo Approach To Ridge Discriminant Analysis, Lee Wooldridge
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
A combined analytical and empirical method to define human performance measures is required for effective automated training. In theory, performance measures can be weighted and combined in a single first order equation upon which an automated training system can track a student's comparative skill level. A form of multivariate discriminant analysis was the statistical technique incorporated into the measurement selection and weighting scheme. (Vreuls and Wooldridge 1977). As with regression analysis, this discriminant technique was subject to debilitating problems such as overfit and undesirable inaccuracies in the coefficients. The author developed and implemented an adjustment to the discriminant function analogous …

Rebirth Of The Downtown Industrial District--Key To Revitalization, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Residents were there by the hundreds to welcome home one of their noteworthy product of a previous era. 'Old 299' had just returned from the Panama Canal Zone to its final resting place in the New Paterson Museum, a fitting climax for the 2-6-0 'Mogul' type steam locomotive that was born here in 1906. And June 6, 1979 marked the gala return of one of the few remaining American-made locomotives that were so instrumental in the construction of the Panama Canal by this nation in the period from 1904 to 1914, after earlier unsuccessful attempts by the French."

It has been intuitively recognized that this equipment has been involved in a significant quantity of industrial accidents by the very nature of the hazards created by their normal use. Consequently, a need to develop some form of guarding or means of operator protection is called for.
In order to examine this question the principal metalworking machines are enumerated, their basic operating characteristics set forth,, and …
Point Of Operation Safeguarding - A Metal Forming System Approach, William Baker Eaton
Point Of Operation Safeguarding - A Metal Forming System Approach, William Baker Eaton
Theses
The mechanical power press in its application in the metal stamping and forming industry has been misinterpreted as a selfcontained metal forming system. Examination of the production routines involving the press show that this machine is actually only one elemental component of the metal forming system and not the total production unit.
Authoritative codes and standards pertinent to the mechanical power press have reflected this misinterpretation by not including system considerations in their contents. These omissions have resulted in the providing of safeguards which do not properly reflect the particular characteristics of the metal forming system to which they are …

An Automatic Rinse Tank Controller For Industrial Applications, Aliasghar Emami
Dissertations and Theses
This thesis describes an automatic Rinse Tank Control System used in detection and removal of contaminating agents from industrial plating rinse tanks. It automatically monitors the purity of the rinse water in sixteen separate rinse tanks, and permits fresh water to enter the tanks only when the conductivity of the rinse water in each tank exceeds a predetermined level. Its use will result in large savings in consumption of fresh water and the subsequent reduction in discharge of effluent to the treatment plants.
The Development Of An Inventory Control Procedure For Low Usage Maintenance Spare Parts, Asa L. Whitaker Jr.
The Development Of An Inventory Control Procedure For Low Usage Maintenance Spare Parts, Asa L. Whitaker Jr.
Masters Theses
This analysis was made in an attempt to establish an inventory control procedure which would be applicable for low wage maintenance spare parts. Spare parts inventories are unique in industry since they are maintained as insurance stock to provide protection against the inability to procure a part readily when it is needed for a repair.· Due to this characteristic, the demand for these items is low and unpredictable; therefore, classical inventory models are not applicable. More sophisticated approaches have been developed to take these characteristics into account; however, these approaches require assumptions to be made which may not hold true …

This is a research report that discusses some continuous and discrete modeling techniques. The report applies these techniques to the analysis of Canal 38 (Kissimmee River) part of Central and South Florida Flood Control District. The analysis is based on recorded data for defining the physical systems parameters. Established parameters are mathematically related to define a descriptive model for Canal 38. The modeling procedure of 'trial and error' is used to assemble the model with measures of merit, the integral square error, and root mean squared error. General simulation considerations are discussed for application of the mathematical model.
Plastics: Mold Design And Fabrication, Duane H. Rippe
Plastics: Mold Design And Fabrication, Duane H. Rippe
Graduate Research Papers
Students have often asked if additional molds were available which would make different objects other than golf tees. Literature provided with the injection molder described several methods of mold construction which could be fabricated in the school shop. The writer considered the possibility of making another mold, however, a time factor and limited experience prohibited construction.
The problem seemed to be appropriate for the Projects Course 33:270 at the University of Northern Iowa. The course and research involved would assimilate the needed information to construct a mold and to teach plastic injection mold construction more effectively.
