Home Care Service Delivery: Proprietary Versus Non-Proprietary Organizations
… delivery of community-based social services? The proprietary organizations examined reflect the assumptions of a market mechanism while the non-proprietary organizations operate under the assumptions of a government/voluntary mechanism. These two contrasting mechanisms for implementing social …

Computer-Aided Design and Simulation of Chemical Plants: PEETPACK, a Non-Proprietary Flowsheeting Program
… and in Europe, however very few of them are non-proprietary and of these none contains a sufficiently wide or general library of unit models and physical property data, or contains an efficient calculation order finder. Many programs suffer also from a poor data interface with the users which …

Leadership in Reaching Global Consensus on Technologicl Standardization
… to each other. Archaic paper processes, lack of non-proprietary international standards, and computer interoperability deficiencies have created cumbersome industry productivity problems. The purpose of the study was to determine whether differences exist between organizations in the acceptance …

Examination of the Lateral Resistance of Cross-Laminated Timber in Panel-Panel Connections
… on full-scale wall panels connected with proprietary fasteners according to European Test Methods. Little research has focused on non-proprietary connections, including nails, bolts and lag screws. The behavior of CLT full-scale wall panels is dependent upon the individual connection …

Development and optimization of ultra-high performance concrete using local materials
… UHPC is often hindered by its high price and the proprietary nature of commercial products. In order to address this issue, a less expensive, non-proprietary UHPC mix design is explored and developed. The research effort described in this thesis includes an experimental quantification of the …

Error correcting optical mapping data
… to the best of our knowledge is the is the only non-proprietary error correction method. Our results demonstrate that cOMet has high accuracy on simulated E. coli (str. K-12 substr. MG1655) genome.

A Scalable Open-source Web-analytic Framework to Improve Satellite-based Operational Water Management in Developing Countries
… web portals based on satellite data and non-proprietary software. With dynamic correction features that can also be built from open-source tools, the well-known limitations of satellite-based operationalization can be overcome for water management agencies of developing countries.

Path planning for human planetary surface Exploration in rough terrain
… Python, which in contrast is an open-source and non-proprietary programming language, an effort which was motivated by NASAs BASALT (Biologic Analog Science Associated with Lava Terrains) campaign. This thesis also discusses its integration with a larger EVA planning, execution, and analysis …

Investigation of UHPC Columns for Stress-Strain Behaviour, Economic and Environmental Feasibility
… and economy (viable in high value property with Non-Proprietary UHPC (Graybeal, 2013)) are considered. But more research needs to be done on replacing Component Materials in UHPC design mixes to lower the higher Embodied Carbon content of UHPC Columns compared to NSC Columns.

Design and Construction of a 1/3-Scale, 1986 Cessna 172P Flight-Test Aircraft
… as to the results of these tests, but non-proprietary information about low-cost, scaled flight-testing is rare. The focus of the project at hand, therefore, is to compare the in-flight performance characteristics of a 1/3-scale flying "prototype" to the in-flight performance …
