So when you open the exhaust valve to dump expanded gas out to the environment, you lose all of that energy stored in the high-pressure exhaust gases and you create a lot of noise. —Timothy Shedd. Slowly decompressing the gases would waste less of that energy and make for a much quieter engine. —Tim Shedd.

Currently copper is the conductive material of choice; however, in comparison to aluminum copper is heavy and expensive. The goal of this research is to use an interdisciplinary perspective to develop industry-relevant solutions in dealing with dynamic changes in company environments, as well as in company internal process landscapes.
