Abstract:
Abstract Utilization of low-grade yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) lumber would provide for alternative structural lumber sources and promote the growth of cross-laminated timber (CLT) manufacturing facilities within the Appalachian Region. A significant amount of low-grade yellow-poplar lumber (i.e., National Hardwood Lumber Association [NHLA] No. 2A and Below Grade) is utilized for wood pallets. In practice, this material is not graded for structural purposes. Additionally, research on yellow-poplar for structural use has focused on grading lumber from a small population of selected logs, not by regrading NHLA lumber from manufacturing facilities. Therefore, the research's objective was to investigate the structural grades of a typical population of NHLA graded No. 2 and lower lumber and evaluate their potential to meet structural grades necessary for CLT panels. NHLA graded lumber was regraded and assigned to visual structural grades following Northeastern Lumber Manufacturers Association rules and evaluated for flatwise bending modulus of elasticity (MOEb) by nondestructive proof loading. The results of the study indicated that 54.6 percent of the boards possessed a minimal structural visual grade required for CLT panels according to American National Standards Institutes/The Engineered Wood Association (ANSI/APA) PRG 320-2019 (2020). Splits were the most common limiting defect that downgraded boards to nonstructural grades. Also, 96.6 percent of the boards evaluated had a MOEb above the required minimal board value of 1.2 ×106 psi (8,274 MPa) listed in ANSI/APA PRG 320-2019 (2020). The results of the study indicated that a majority of NHLA low-grade yellow-poplar, when regraded for structural purposes, meets or exceeds minimum lumber grade values necessary for use in CLT panel production.

Abstract:
Abstract Low-grade yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) graded No. 2 Common, and No. 3 Common (National Hardwood Lumber Association - NHLA rules) is mainly used by the industry to produce wood pallets. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels are options to diversify the usage and increase the value of this material. Therefore, the objective of this study was to produce CLT panels from a population of NHLA graded No. 2A, No. 2B, No. 3A, and No. 3B lumber and to evaluate whether the panel properties meet the bending criteria (major strength direction) and adhesive bond requirements listed for “V” type CLT in ANSI/APA PRG 320-2019 (2020) using Northeastern Lumber Association Manufacturers No. 2 and No. 3 in longitudinal and transverse layers, respectively. Ten panels were produced to evaluate the bond quality and mechanical properties. The bond test results showed average delamination under 5 percent and were more frequent in the central areas of the panel than in the outer panel areas. The results from testing showed that the calculated allowable stress-design bending-strength (major direction) value for the yellow-poplar CLT panels was 1,718 psi (11.84 MPa), which corresponds to a value 90 percent higher than V1 (900 psi, 6.20 MPa) layups. Modulus of elasticity (MOE; major direction) was comparable to V2 and V3, with an average MOE of 1.39 by 106 psi (9,584 MPa). Based on these findings, the study indicated the potential for using low-grade yellow-poplar lumber to produce CLT panels. However, more research is needed to evaluate other mechanical properties in both the major and minor axis.

Abstract:
The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) played an important role in the emerging conservative movement in the United States, both before and after World War II, but its contribution to the increasing militarism of that movement has received little scrutiny. Between 1958 and 1975, a combination of organizational changes peculiar to NAM and political pressures from both the right and the left led NAM to adopt and maintain a militaristic posture. In the late 1950s, a decline in the organization's membership resulted in a take over by larger corporations, which purged the board of its ultraconservative leadership. The reorganized board established a National Defense Committee (NDC) in order to promote defense industry membership and, by 1962, had selected a new permanent president, Werner Gullander. Under Gullander, the NDC moved NAM in the direction of support for defense expansion during the early 1960s.

Abstract:
In the years following World War II, the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) regained the political effectiveness it had lost during the New Deal. This article analyzes NAM's resurgence within the context of the rising popularity and political strength of organized business in the postwar period. It argues that NAM's success is only partly explained by external factors, such as the policies of Truman administration and divisions among labor organizations. NAM's renewed ability to shape national affairs resulted from an internal transformation that vastly improved its administrative capacity, and from a change in its public relations and labor policies. These efforts came to fruition when NAM proved able to dominate the proceedings of the 1945 Labor-Management Conference.

Abstract:
Genetically modified (GM) foods have been commercially available in the US for more than two decades, yet Americans know very little about them. With the implementation of the National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard of 2016, food manufacturers will be required to disclose the presence of GM ingredients in their food products. How food manufacturers communicate with consumers about GM ingredients may have consequences for public understanding of GM technology. In Study 1, we explore how food manufacturers characterize GM ingredients within their food products on SmartLabel, a digital disclosure website established by the Grocery Manufacturers Association. In Study 2, we test the effect of those characterizations on perceived risks and benefits of GM food. Overall, we find that varying characterizations of GM ingredients do not significantly affect perceived risks and benefits. Post hoc analyses suggest that knowledge of GM technology and moral evaluation of GM technology significantly predict perceived risks and benefits. Implications for the public communication of GM technology are discussed.

Abstract:
"Employers, Unite!" argues that the anti-union campaign of Progressive-Era organized employers molded in crucial ways the shape of labor relations in the United States, and that to understand the development of ideas about work, business, and labor unions, we need to understand how these employers gained and wielded political and societal power.The study concentrates on the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), which spearheaded what it termed the "open-shop'' campaign. Focusing attention on the unions' demand for the closed or union shop, the NAM shifted the debate over labor relations from workplace conditions to the legitimacy of unions as representatives of workers, identifying not employers but union leaders as the source of injustices.At the heart of the study is an analysis of over 100 active members of the NAM, organized through a relational database constructed with the help of recently digitized materials like local histories and biographical compendia. Besides basic information like company size or demographics, the database maps information about NAM members' social and political contacts. Substantial archival materials further ground the study's analysis of the NAM's structure and influence.Research on the membership has allowed me to uncover information that focusing on the leadership would not have revealed. For example, I have found that a high percentage of active NAM members were party activists and officials, mostly in the Republican party; their positions in the party hierarchy gave them influence over political nominations and Congressional committee appointments. Active NAM members also regularly had personal contacts to politicians ranging from governors to Senators; these contacts further bolstered the Association's power, enabling it to torpedo much of labor's legislative project.The study also compares the NAM to other business organizations, especially the National Civic Federation (NCF). The NCF promoted cooperation with moderate unions, a position which the NAM frequently and vehemently criticized. Rhetorical differences, however, masked an underlying agreement among businessmen regarding the undesirability of unions. The rhetorical disjuncture between the organizations served to constrain debate on labor relations: the NAM's stridency made the NCF appear genuinely progressive and thereby undercut other, more far-reaching critiques of existing workplace relations.

Abstract:
Positron emission tomography (PET) has been well established the last years as a powerfull tool in research and clinical applications. Advances in technology have enabled the use of small animal PET imaging in preclinical applications although the size differences in humans and rodents create many challenges to this imaging modality. In this thesis, the performance evaluation ofsmall animal PET systems through specific standards and Monte Carlo simulation codes are investigated using the microPET R4 system. In the first part, the performance evaluation of the microPET R4 scanner according to the new NEMA NU 4-2008 standards for small animal positron emission tomography is assessed and a comparison against its previous evaluation according to the adapted clinical NEMA NU 2-2001 standards is presented. In the second part, dedicated Monte Caro simulation models (using GATE and PeneloPET) of the performance of the R4 system is compared against experimental data.
La tomografia per emissió de positrons (PET) és una poderosa eina per a la investigació translacional adreçada constantment al repte de les noves tecnologies. Per tant, els aspectes tècnics són cada vegada més rellevants en el disseny i desenvolupament de nous sistemes de PET. El coneixement de les característiques físiques és el punt clau especialment en el cas de les tècniques d'imatge de petits animals. Per a la optimització de les capacitats dels sistemes de PET per animals de laboratori, el seu rendiment ha de ser avaluat mitjançant protocols específics i codis de simulació de MonteCarlo. En aquesta tesi, en la primera part, es presenta l'avaluació del rendiment de l'escàner microPET R4 d'acord amb les normes NEMA NU 4-2008 de la tomografia per emissió de positrons petit animal és compara amb l'avaluació anterior realitzada d'acord amb la clínica adaptada NEMA NU 2-2001. Es van obtenir diferències en els resultats entre NEMA NU 4-2008 i NEMA NU 2-2001 associat a la utilització de diferents fantoms i finestres d'energia. A la segona part, es compara l’ exactitud de diferents codis de simulació Monte Carlo (utilitzant GATE i PeneloPET) per avaluar el rendiment del sistema de R4 en relació a les dades experimentals. Tots dos codis van proporcionar resultats exactes si bé PeneloPET va demostrar ser més ràpid que GATE

Abstract:
This chapter shows how the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) reorganized and slowly emerged as the first line of resistance to the new New Deal state—thus conforming perfectly to New Dealers' view of capitalists as class-bound reactionaries. Much has been written about the reactionary anti-New Deal National Association of Manufacturers (NAM). The chapter reviews that history to demonstrate its significance in terms of the organization's identity, the struggle for workplace control, and US history in general. But some New Deal policies—such as the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933, the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act of 1934, and the establishment of the Export–Import Bank in 1934—furthered NAM's agendas in industrial rationalization and trade expansion. This highlights the tension between the conservative principles of its leaders and the progressive prerogatives of global capitalism.

Abstract In examining the business groups pursuing Tariff Reform in the 1920s, our accent is not on high politics, since there are other studies which, at least to an extent, cover this ground, or their lobbying of politicians and the Board of Trade, since here success was limited; but on their broader objectives and strategies in a situation where there was an increasing consensus of manufacturers on at least a measure of Tariff Reform, but a pronounced government reluctance to accommodate it. This approach, undertaken comparatively, provides an indication of what policy measures appealed to the manufacturers of the 1920s. Emphasis will be put on the three most important organizations, the National Union of Manufacturers, the British Commonwealth Union, and the Empire Industries Association, with brief consideration also of the British Empire Producers’ Organization and the Empire Development Union.

Abstract:
This chapter considers how a group of six hundred manufacturers met in Cincinnati in January 1895 to address the challenges of their day, including deep depression, falling prices, and cutthroat competition. Manufacturers saw overproduction as the primary cause of their woes and had two responses to it. First, they turned to the promise of foreign markets, both to offload surpluses and find new markets. And second, they tried to find ways to subvert the debilitating effects of competition through cooperation and planning, first in the form of unworkable “pools” and “gentlemen's agreements” and eventually, more legitimately, in the form of trade associations. These manufacturers were creating an organization that would pursue both strategies, thereby facilitating the modernization of American industry and government. The result was the “corporate reconstruction of capitalism”: a new form of capitalism based on cooperation, rationality, and long-term planning superseded a nineteenth-century proprietary capitalism based on competition, “rugged individualism,” and decentralized government. Trade associations like the National Association of Manufacturers were key to this transition.

Abstract:
In 2016, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) estimated that 62,085 injuries occurred in the line of duty. Haynes and Stein (2017) further reported that a U.S. firefighter injury is reported every eight minutes. Many of these injuries can be attributed to poorly fitting and functioning turnout gear, especially boots. When boots fail to fit appropriately, the firefighter can be in danger of losing proprioception, getting burned, slipping and tripping. This pilot study developed a method using techniques from the industrial design field to capture the interior of a common fire boot, to then compare it to 3D female firefighter foot scans. Visual, volumetric, and anthropometric measures were analyzed to make recommendations on how manufacturers could improve boot fit for firefighters.

Abstract:
It is well recognized that manufacturing is making a comeback to the US, from the outsourcing that took place between 1980–2010. The need for advanced manufacturing careers is also well documented by many manufacturing organizations, substantiated by the report entitled “A National Strategic Plan for Advanced Manufacturing” which was released by the Executive Office of the President National Science and Technology Council’s in February 2012. The Association for Manufacturing Excellence (AME) points out that at the height of the recession, 32% of manufacturers reported that they had jobs unfilled because they could not find people with requisite skills. It is also well documented that liberal arts (BA) graduates suffer from mal-employment problems; they are either underemployed or unemployed. To solve this problem, this paper describes an innovative solution of transforming BA graduates to take on advanced manufacturing positions to meet the skilled workforce needs and fill these positions. This paper briefly describes the program, but focuses mainly on one aspect of it: industry partnerships. We describe the importance of industry partners to the proposed solution. We also discuss industry needs.

Abstract:
Lean Manufacturing is a powerful philosophy, which advocates minimization of waste throughout the value stream both within the organization and enterprise which includes the supply chain. A concept, which was first used by automobile manufacturers to enhance their operational efficiencies, Lean focuses on driving out non-value added activities from a company’s operation, while streamlining its value added activities. A number of companies in the United States have adopted the Lean Manufacturing philosophy to reduce cost and increase efficiency. To augment the existing training programs five new simulation tools in Ship Design Processes, Supply Chain Integration, Ship Repair Processes, Value Stream Mapping and Scheduling were developed under a grant from National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) by Old Dominion University, Northrop Grumman Newport News and South Tidewater Association of Ship Repairers. The paper will discuss the design, development and implementation of two of these new simulation tools.

Full text
Abstract:
In 1987 with the NAFTA and the popularization of ISO-9000 standards, the Metrology in México was considered as a critical part for trade, commerce and quality assurance programs. Those were the days when two of the references for metrology systems were the MIL-STD 45662A and the Guide 25. At the beginning of the 80's, the Mexican government established the National Calibration System and started the Mexican NMI as a project. Also the metrological society established the Mexican Association of Metrology (AMMAC). During the 80's decade, the government, the society and the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN), organized training workshops annually and some Metrology International Symposiums. Most of the first accredited Metrology Laboratories in Mexico belonged to great industrial companies, institutes and original equipment manufacturers. With ten years of experience some private Metrology Laboratories started to provide calibration services for industry, being accredited by the National Calibration System. In 1992 the Mexican Government issued the Federal Law of Metrology and Standardization, considering in this law the establishment of the NMI CENAM and the formation of the Accreditation Bodies. Also at that time, some private companies, research institutes, universities and calibration laboratories, started to provide training in Metrology. In 2012 the Santa Rosa Jauregui University started the Engineering in Industrial Metrology as a carrier and in the same year the ITM (private institute) started to form Calibration Technicians. In 2014 the Polytechnic University of Ramos Arizpe also started the Engineering in Industrial Metrology.

Abstract:
The management of waste electrical and electronic equipment – WEEE, or e-waste represents one of the areas with significant potential for the implementation of economic instruments and it is higly regulated at EU level. Due to their physical characteristics, WEEE is suitable for development of recovery, repair and recycling policies, extension of their life cycle for as long as possible being an objective pursued by the specific mechanisms of circular economy. In this paper, we will look at how Romania manages economic instruments for e-waste recycling, their implementation and potential benefits. We chose for detail the economic instrument known as "The Green Stamp". This fee is assumed by all manufacturers and retailers of EEE. The amounts thus collected are administered by the Romanian Association for Recycling (RoRec) which deals with the collection, dismantling and recycling of WEEE. The ratio between the amounts collected through the green stamp duty and the amounts invested in e-waste reduction activities is a sensitive topic at national level. The exact quantification of WEEE is very difficult: the quantities of electronic products sold at national level (POM- put on market) are very different from the quantity of WEEE registered. The WEEE collection target set at European level is 4 kg / inhabitant and Romania, with only 2.19 kg / inhabitant at the level of 2016 (Eurostat), is far from reaching it.

Abstract:
<div class="htmlview paragraph">Several engine manufacturers are offering 4-stroke marine engines in order to meet 1998 US EPA emissions regulations requiring a 75% hydrocarbon reduction by 2006. These 4-stroke marine engines have been lubricated with passenger car motor oil in the past; however, the environment in which these engines operate is quite different from a passenger car engine. Perhaps the biggest differences are that marine engines do not use a closed loop cooling system, and they often operate in a corrosive salt water environment. They may be operated for extended periods of time at low speed while trolling, allowing build-up of water and fuel in the engine oil. For these reasons, oil used in this application should have corrosion inhibiting properties that are much better than what is found in passenger car oil. In addition, boats are often used seasonally and stored for long periods of time during the winter. This can lead to corrosion during storage, and require long lasting corrosion protection from the engine oil. Another area of concern about using passenger car oils is wear protection. It is common to go from idle to full throttle quickly and often, placing a sudden heavy load on these engines. The new American Petroleum Institute (API) categories for passenger car motor oils have focused on reducing emissions. The emissions reductions have been accomplished by lowering the percent phosphorous in the engine oils because its has been found to poison the catalyst in the catalytic converter. These phosphorous reductions had to be made without compromising wear protection in automotive engines. However, in marine applications, hydrolysis of the ZDP may occur, reducing the effectiveness of these antiwear agents. These lubricant concerns led the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) to develop the FC-W® (Four-Cycle Watercooled) oil specification, which was launched in August 2004. This paper focuses on developing engine oil technology with enhanced corrosion and wear performance to meet the requirements of 4-stroke water cooled marine engines.</div>

<div class="htmlview paragraph">A 2001 General Motors 4.3 liter V-6 marine engine was baseline emissions tested and then equipped with catalysts. Emission reduction effects of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) were also explored. Because of a U.S. Coast Guard requirement that inboard engine surface temperatures be kept below 200°F, the engine's exhaust system, including the catalysts, was water-cooled.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">Engine emissions were measured using the ISO-8178-E4 5-mode steady-state test for recreational marine engines. In baseline configuration, the engine produced 16.6 g HC+NO<sub>x</sub>/kW-hr, and 111 g CO/kW-hr. In closed-loop control with catalysts, HC+NO<sub>x</sub> emissions were reduced by 75 percent to 4.1 g/kW-hr, and CO emissions were reduced by 36 percent to 70 g/kW-hr of CO.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">The catalyzed engine was then installed in a Sea Ray 190 boat, and tested for water reversion on both fresh and salt water using National Marine Manufacturers Association procedures.

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">This paper summarizes work performed to define the range of recreational boat engine operation for the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA). Sixteen boats were tested on-water with data acquisition systems to measure engine parameters. Boat types included sterndrive and inboard (SD/I), outboard (OB), and personal watercraft (PWC). Each boat was tested with low loads and at its rated load carrying capacity. Each boat was run at prescribed engine speeds from low to maximum speed during data collection. Maps of each boat's engine operation were produced in order to identify the lowest and highest engine load at each engine speed, based on intake manifold depression (for SD/I and OB) or throttle position (for PWC). Each engine type was then installed in a test cell where the lowest and highest engine loads from on-water testing were duplicated in order to measure the engine's output. The engine's low- and high-load torque was corrected to standard conditions and then normalized in order to compare its operation to the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board's emission test cycle.</div></div>

Abstract:
A growing number of manufacturing industries are initiating efforts to address sustainability issues. According to the National Association of Manufacturers, the manufacturing sector currently accounts for about one third of all energy consumed in the United States [1]. Reducing energy costs and pollution emissions involves many areas within an industrial facility. Peak electric demands are a significant component in the cost of electricity. Electric demand management relates to electric tariff rates, new power generation, and incentives to curtail peak usages. Shifting some equipment/machine usage to the periods of lower cost or using stand-by local generators during the peak demand period can yield important savings. Analysis of these options is important to decision makers to avoid unnecessary high cost of energy and equipment. This paper proposes a Decision-Guided energy management in manufacturing (DG-EMM) framework to perform what-if analysis and make optimal actionable recommendations for a manufacturing facility both on (1) operational energy management including load shedding, curtailment, and local generation and (2) planning and investment decisions for introducing renewable technologies. The DG-EMM is based on the novel technology of the Decision-Guidance Query Language (DGQL), which is a tool for fast development and iterative extension of decision-guidance and optimization solutions. The proposed DG-EMM will support user-defined objectives for optimal recommendations, such as minimizing emissions and energy costs and maximizing Return on Investment (ROI). A case study of the peak demand control for an example manufacturing facility is discussed.

Abstract:
Abstract The torque requirement for sour service drill pipe connections has always been a drilling challenge. Operators and contractors face challenges when selecting the appropriate tool joints to use in a sour environment, especially when combined with deeper or longer wells. Depending on the severity of the sour service environment, which is defined by the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP) [formerly National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE)] MR0175-2015 severity diagram, where environmental severity is defined in regions (0, 1, 2, and 3), several studies have been carried out to understand the actual limitations of the tool joints based on each connection design and tool joint material grade and not a "one-size-fits-all" approach (Plessis, 2022). A research and development (R&D) and industrialization test campaign was started to confirm the connection technology performances and limitations in each sour service environment. Original equipment manufacturers (OEM) provided various tool joint material grades and connections technology to address drilling engineers’ specific needs for sour service environments. For example, a drilling engineer may require an increase in the maximum torque in the connection. This led to some exotic developments in double shoulder connections (DSC) technology, with thread designs other than the API standard for rotary-shouldered connections. Depending on the sour service region for the drilling operation, newer DSCs allow additional torque without compromising the sour service resistance features. The limited availability of high strength and sour service resistance standards added pressure on OEMs to innovate new grades. The drilling engineers demanded that these grades be able to drill deeper and longer wells. In addition, they wanted to customize tool joint grades to fit into the needed drill pipe. As the drillstem technology leader, we saw an opportunity to drive this initiative and offer a sour service resistance suitable for each region, depending on severity. This allows operators to reach the maximum limitation a tool joint can offer based on its tensile strength and connection design.

Abstract:
With the global increase in the use of traditional and complementary remedies for the prevention and treatment of illness, the quality and safety of these medicines have become a significant concern for all regulatory authorities. Herbal medicines are the most commonly used form of traditional and complementary medicines in the world and the efficacy and safety of herbal medicines, like conventional medicines, largely depends on their quality from planting to harvesting, preprocessing and final processing. Due to the inherent complexity of herbal medicines, often containing an array of active compounds, the primary processing of herbal medicines has a direct influence on their quality. Quality concerns are the reason why the medicines regulatory agencies insist that manufacturers of medicines strictly follow Good Manufacturing Practices since it is an essential tool to prevent instances of contamination, mix-ups, deviations, failures and errors. However, a strict application of GMP requirements is expensive and would drive the prices of the manufactured products up. As a result, a maturity level grading of facilities is proposed as a way of justifying the costs incurred for manufacturers desiring to reach a broader market and investing in continuous improvement. 36 Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) inspection reports of local herbal manufacturers conducted by National Drug Authority were analyzed to establish the type and extent of deficiencies to GMP requirements for local herbal manufacturers in Uganda. The different GMP chapters and related sub-parameters constituted the variables used for the analysis of conformity to requirements. The primary outcome variable was the conclusion regarding compliance or noncompliance of the inspected local herbal manufacturing facility. GMP parameters that were frequently defaulted by local herbal manufacturers and the corresponding frequencies were identified. The Pearson Chi-square test was applied independently on each category to find the association that existed between conformity and the questions in each category. Only 22% (8) of the 30 inspected facilities were found to comply with GMP requirements, as per National Drug Authority (NDA) guidelines; while the majority of the facilities, 28 (78%), were found not to comply. Of the facilities inspected, 25 were undergoing GMP inspection for the first time. A total of 1,236 deficiency observations were made in the 36 inspection reports reviewed for the study. The mean for all deficiencies was 34.3, and the standard deviation was 15.829. 91.5% of the facilities did not have mechanisms for a record of market complaints; 80.9% did not meet documentation requirements; 78.9% did not have quality control measures in place, and 65.7% did not meet stores requirements. By encouraging a culture of self/voluntary improvement through the introduction of listing of manufacturers based on a maturity level grading, the National Drug Authority will improve the Herbal Medicines sector as per the mandate of improving the herbal medicine industry. Also, increased sensitization of all relevant stakeholders regarding the requirements for GMP should be intensified.
