Assimilation of Multi-Sensor Data into Numerical Hydrodynamic Models of Inland Water Bodies

Creator:: Javaheri, Amir
Abstract:: Numerical models are effective tools for simulating complex physical processes such as hydrodynamic and water quality processes in aquatic systems. The accuracy of the model is dependent on multiple model parameters and variables that need to be calibrated and regularly updated to reproduce changing aquatic conditions accurately. Multi-sensor water temperature...

Numerical model investigations of wind-driven coastal circulation

Creator:: Cervantes, Brandy T.
Abstract:: The effects of wind forcing on coastal ocean circulation are studied using a numerical modeling approach. The first region of interest is on the North Carolina shelf, where the Coastal Ocean Processes (CoOP) Inner Shelf Study (ISS) took place during August - November 1994. ISS observations are used to initialize,...

Vineyard floor vegetation management and mineral nutrient competition in grapes

Creator:: Tan, Siyuan
Abstract:: Two experiments were conducted on wine grapes 'Chardonnay' and 'Gewurtztraminer' (Vitis vinifera L.) in 1986 and 1987 to investigate the performance of grapes in competition with perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) 'Manhattan 11' sod, the competition between sod and grapes for nutrients and moisture and the effects of nitrogen fertilization...

Constructing a sheeted magmatic complex within the lower arc crust : insights from the Tenpeak pluton, North Cascades, Washington : Plate 1

Creator:: Chan, Christine F.
Abstract:: The sheeted complex of the ~92 Ma Tenpeak pluton, in the Northern Washington Cascades crystalline core, forms a <1.5-km wide zone with a moderate, NE-dip at the SW margin of the pluton. Sheeted magmatic complexes, such as the one in the Tenpeak pluton, are common in plutons and represent examples...

Planktivorous Auklets (Aethia pusilla and A. cristatella) nesting on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska as indicators of marine conditions in the northern Bering Sea

Creator:: Gall, Adrian
Abstract:: Monitoring reproductive success, prey species composition, and colony size of marine birds has been proposed as a method of assessing changes in marine systems that are otherwise difficult to sample (Cairns 1987). I measured inter-annual and intra-seasonal variability in reproductive parameters, taxonomic composition of the diet, and adult body condition...

Interactions of a fully modulated inclined jet with a crossflow

Creator:: Dano, Bertrand P. E.
Abstract:: Jets in crossflow are used in a wide range of engineering applications and have been studied for more than 60 years. The transversal penetration and structure of a jet placed in a crossflow is known to be strongly three-dimensional. It is believed that, by using a pulsed jet inclined in...

Environmental Justice Policies at the State Level: Symbolic Rhetoric or Tangible Impacts?

Creator:: Kanzig, Erin
Abstract:: President Clinton’s Executive Order 12898 and subsequent federal environmental justice (EJ) policies and programs have faced significant challenges in implementation. Exploring scientific uncertainty, social complexity of EJ issues, lack of clear policy guidance, and weak regulatory enforcement demonstrate these challenges. However, at the state level, EJ policies, task forces, and...

Examination of the Impact of One-Dimensional Crustal Structures on Cascadia Subduction Zone Earthquake Locations

Creator:: Meyer, McKenzie S.
Abstract:: Multiple earthquake events have been recorded off the coast of Oregon, yet their locations have great uncertainty. The largest source of uncertainty is the simple models of the crust that are used to interpret seismic recordings. Because the relationship between earthquake locations and crust are diagnostic of tectonic activity, it...

Industrial power system faults

Creator:: Badr, Ahmad Mohamad Amin
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis is to represent and calculate unsymmetrical secondary faults on a grounded wye-to-delta transformer bank. This thesis is specifically concerned with the secondary connections often encountered in industrial installations. Faults on these systems have not been adequately investigated. Three types of faults are considered, namely: 1....

Morphological and endocrine correlates of dominance in male ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus)

Creator:: Lumas, Kathy A.
Abstract:: An investigation of the correlation between a number of behavioral, morphological and physiological parameters and dominance status of male Ring-necked Pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) was undertaken. Dominant males performed significantly more aggressive behaviors than subordinates and a higher proportion of these behaviors was directed toward distantly ranked subordinates. Animals could also...
