Green Supply Chains

PI Aman Gupta

CO-I Mohammed Arif
This research attempts to create a model for assessment of green supply chains for the aviation and aerospace manufacturing industry. We have developed a model using review of the existing literature. We have identified 19 drivers, 14 barriers, green supply chain practices in the areas including, purchasing, design, production, management, logistics, and marketing, and multiple firm's performance measures. Green drivers, barriers, green supply chain practices and firm performance measures' interactions are examined

PI Soumia Ichoua
In this project, we consider the Vendor Managed Inventory Problem. We propose a rolling horizon approach where a schedule is repeatedly constructed over a fixed number of time periods using a tabu search heuristic.

PI Mark Miller

CO-I Katie Coleman Assad
A comprehensive stakeholder analysis of commercial pilot mental health in the US.

PI Joseph Bassi
An ongoing project to better understand the history of the science of sun-earth connection, including subtopics such as sun-weather studies and "space weather"

PI Rosalee Opengart
This research examines the notion that a person's level of emotional intelligence serves to mediate the effect of social influence on the consumer. The purpose of this study is to examine whether emotional intelligence may mediate the impact of persuasive attempts in consumer decision- making.

This project aims to serve the national interest in high-quality undergraduate STEM education by designing and studying a pilot program to improve online discussion forums in STEM courses. The goal of the project is to positively impact student persistence, performance, and perspectives in asynchronous online STEM courses.

PI Emily Faulconer
The purpose of this work was to develop additional teaching strategies to increase student interaction with and awareness of the student
learning objectives. The influence of these targeted strategies on student perception of both the clarity of learning objectives and their overall connection to the course activities and deliverables was measured using an end-of-course evaluation (EOCE) with Likert-scale responses.

In this work, aqueous adsorption of Hg(II) and Hg(0) onto surface-modified activated carbon was analyzed in a batch system with respect to the following carbon modification variables: modifying reagent, reagent concentration, and activated carbon. The goal of this study was to elucidate the influence of C(O) on aqueous Hg(0) adsorption. The objectives of this study are as follows: 1) to increase a carbon’s acidic C(O) without significant pore damage and 2) to identify the conditions that produce the greatest removal of aqueous mercury (Hg(II) and Hg(0)) between two types of powdered activated carbon.
