    • Fixture design in a computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) environment 
      Cecil, J. (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)
      The lack of an adequate methodology that can be automated to perform the fixture design activities had created a void in the bridge linking CAD and CAM activities. This research addressed this concern by developing a ...
    • Font and matrix size for distance viewed dot-matrix displays 
      Williams, Rodney Don (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)
      This study examined three common strategies for the formation of dot matrix characters, with reference to the task of distance viewing. Also examined was the variable of matrix size (4 x 7 and 5 x 7 characters). All letters ...
    • The generation and classification of mixed strategy sampling plans 
      Bryant, Milton Robert (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1973)
      The major achievement of this research was to enhance the flexibility of sampling inspection methodology. This was achieved by providing the conceptual framework for extending current sampling inspection theory into combined ...
    • Geometric modeling for non-manifold curved solids 
      Chen, Fuu-Diing (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)
      In modem designs, manifold and non-manifold objects with planar and sculptured surfaces are used widely. Such shapes present many problems in integrating product and process engineering. At the root of these problems is ...
    • Glare mitigation in night driving using partially tinted lenses 
      Aleksander, Adam Konstanty (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)
      Glare from oncoming vehicles on a two-lane road can be mitigated by the use of partially-tinted lenses (PTL). The shape of the tinted area corresponds to the projected area of the oncoming lane. This concept avoids the ...
    • Human factors in the moving merge process 
      Kirk, Billy Mac (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1969)
      The objective of this research was to investigate the importance of some independent environmental variables in the moving merge process utilizing human factors as indices of driver comfort in such a dynamic situation. The ...
    • Impact of public policy on judicial review of arbitral awards involving substance abuse 
      Grainger, John Steven (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)
      The purpose of this research was to document recent federal court decisions where one of the parties relied on public policy arguments, in whole or in part, as a basis for courts to consider vacating an arbitration award. ...
    • The impact of the federal labor relations authority on labor arbitration in the federal sector 
      Schuessler-Laux, Renate-Miranda Martha (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)
      This research involved an analysis of the arbitration cases appealed to the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) under 5 U.S.C. [section] 7122. In particular, the cases in which the Authority modified, set aside, or ...
    • The impact of work assignments on collective bargaining in the petroleum refining industry on the Texas Gulf Coast 
      Fox, Milden Jean (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1969)
      The major objective of this research is the investigation of the various approaches used by petroleum refinery managements on the Texas Gulf Coast, as these refineries attempted to solve the problem of work assignments and ...
    • In-process tool life evaluation by cutting force ratio analysis 
      Kulkarni, Narayan Ambaji (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)
      Optimization and control of automated manufacturing processes have been rendered difficult due to the probabilistic nature of tool life. Several adaptive control systems, developed to monitor machining operations, have ...
    • Inspection allocation models for flexible inspection systems 
      Villalobos Cano, J. Rene (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)
      Recent technological developments require new models for inspection allocation. The tightening of product tolerances and the application of computer technology to almost every aspect of manufacturing are some of the changes ...
    • Inventory policies in parts distribution of the capital goods industry 
      Brooking, Stanley Anderson (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1973)
      This dissertation deals with the determination of two optimal policies to be used by dealers in stocking repair parts under conditions commonly encountered in the capital goods industry, namely: a. Certain repair parts ...
    • An investigation of the effects of external supports on manual lifting 
      Amendola, Alfred Alan (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)
      The purpose of this study was to assess the utility of the use of external support devices for manual lifting. The use of such devices has become more popular as a form of personal protective equipment in industry, therefore, ...
    • An investigation of the effects of variance components on the performance of job shop dispatching policies 
      Wood, James Ralph (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)
      The objectives of this research are twofold. First, to investigate the impact of unequal processing time variances on overall shop performance. Second, to implement strategies for improving job shop performance by designing ...
    • Lane deviation as a result of visual workload and manual data entry 
      Dulas, Rick Lawrence (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)
      Any requirement for drivers to attend to ancillary tasks while they are driving will contribute to attentional demands which may interfere with their driving performance. The introduction of Intelligent Vehicle Highway ...
