Climate zones and the influence on industrial nonprocess energy consumption

Bawaneh, Khaled; Overcash, Michael; Twomey, Janet M. (American Institute of Physics, 2011)

This paper begins with the recognition that climate zones influence nonprocess energy use in industrial buildings. Nonprocess energies are heating, cooling, lighting, and ventilation. Nonprocess energy data have been ...
Energy consumption of VA hospital CT scans

Esmaeili, Mohammad Amin; Jahromi, Ashkan S.; Twomey, Janet M.; Yildirim, Mehmet Bayram; Overcash, Michael; Elsken, Tyson; Dominquez, Fernando; Thomas, Nicholas; Mcadam, Ashlee (IEEE, 2011-05)

The United States healthcare spending was about $7,681 per resident and accounted for 16.2% of the nation's GDP in 2008 and rose to compromise about 18% of the nation's GDP by 2010. As healthcare sector continues to grow ...
Environmental impacts of healthcare services: delivery of x-ray services

Esmaeili, Mohammad Amin; Twomey, Janet M.; Yildirim, Mehmet Bayram; Overcash, Michael; Jahromi, Ashkan S.; Thomas, Nicholas; Mcadam, Ashlee; Dominquez, Fernando (IEEE, 2011-05)

THE healthcare sector of the U.S rose to compromise about 18% of the nation's GDP in 2010. In meeting patient needs healthcare organizations spend nearly $8.8 billion each year on energy. To achieve energy reduction, the ...
Hospital radiology department overhead energy estimation

Esmaeili, Mohammad Amin; Jahromi, Ashkan S.; Twomey, Janet M.; Yildirim, Mehmet Bayram; Overcash, Michael; Dominquez, Fernando; Thomas, Nicholas; Mcadam, Ashlee (IEEE, 2011-05)

The interest in the energy management is found in every sector of the economy. This is true of the commercial sector which includes the healthcare industry. The focus of this study is on estimating the overhead energy ...
Life cycle and nano-products: end-of-life assessment

Asmatulu, Eylem; Twomey, Janet M.; Overcash, Michael (Springer, 2012-03)

Understanding environmental impacts of nanomaterials necessitates analyzing the life cycle profile. The initial emphasis of nanomaterial life cycle studies has been on the environmental and health effects of nanoproducts ...
A sequential Bayesian Cumulative Conformance Count approach to deterioration detection in high yield processes

Toubia, Gracia j.; Liao, Haitao; Twomey, Janet M. (John Wiley and Sons, 2012-03)

Cumulative conformance count (CCC) control chart is a powerful alternative to the traditional p-control chart, particularly in monitoring high yield processes with extremely low proportions of nonconformance. However, a ...
