A case study of Vioxx using STAMP
… was used as a test case to study whether STAMP (Systems Theoretic Accident Model and Processes) could be used to outline the interactions between the different pharmaceutical system components, identify the safety control structure in place and understand how this control structure failed …

Safety in Hospital Medication Administration Applying STAMP Processes
… and enhancing hospital safety practices using STAMP techniques. A CAST analysis is performed for a frequently occurring hospital medication administration error to demonstrate the power of avoiding future losses through causal analysis based on systems theory compared to root cause analysis …

A STAMP model of the Überlingen aircraft collision accident
STAMP is a method for evaluating accidents that is based on systems theory. It departs from traditional event chain models that tend to focus on human errors instead of the goals and motives that triggered the errors. The thesis presents a STAMP model of the mid-air collision that occurred on July …

Using STAMP to understand recent increases in malicious software activity
… developed an accident modeling framework called STAMP (Systems Theoretic Accident Modeling and Processes.) Traditional accident models typically focus on component failure; in contrast, STAMP includes interactions between components as well as social, economic, and legal factors. My research …

Three Essays on Food Stamp Program Participation and Poverty Dynamics
… essays that analyze the significance of the Food Stamp Program (FSP) for low-income households. The first essay entitled “Intensity of Food Stamp Use and Transient and Chronic Poverty: Evidence from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics” examines the impact of intensity of use of FSP benefits on …

Safety in U.S. Navy Navigation Applying STAMP Processes to Surface Ship Collisions
… Systems-Theoretic Accident Model and Process (STAMP) model of accident causation to analyze two U.S. Navy ship collisions in 2017. The Causal Analysis based on STAMP (CAST) is conducted on both collisions, and an analysis of the results is compared with the traditional U.S. Navy findings. CAST …

Got Silk?: Buying, Selling, and Advertising British Luxury Imports During the Stamp Act Crisis
Despite the amount of scholarship on the Stamp Act Crisis, no study has used advertisements as a main source. This study attempts to show that a valuable, objective source has been overlooked, through the quantitative analysis of 5,810 advertisements before, during and after the Stamp Act Crisis …

Advanced stamp geometries and adhesiveless transfer printing modalities for use in deterministic materials assembly
… assembly. Targeted modulation of adhesion at the stamp/nanomaterial interface provides a direct route for enhancing printing efficacy, particularly in ‘dry’ or adhesiveless systems where intimate contact between the substrate and transferred material is desired. This body of work progresses from …

Investigation into a GPS time pulse radiator for testing time-stamp accuracy of a radio telescope
… radiator (GTR) device for testing the time-stamp accuracy was developed. The GTR was calibrated at the National Metrology Institute of South Africa and laboratory characterisation tests measured its RF timing pulse to be 1.32 ± 0.100 µs ahead of the UTC second. The telescope’s time and …
