Long Wave Amplification in a Coral-Reef Lagoon

Creator:

Bheeroo, Vivek Anand

Abstract:

A series of laboratory experiments were conducted to study the wave field in the inner lagoon excited by ‘long’ incident waves. Three cases were considered: Cases A, B and C presenting incident waves of wavelength with factors of 1, 2 and 2.5 times the width of the reef respectively. The...

Conceptual Representations within the Social and Material Contexts of an Engineering Workplace and Academic Environments

Creator:

Barner, Matthew S.

Abstract:

Situated cognition theory emphasizes the role that social and material contexts have on learning and knowledge application. Several studies of engineering workplace environments have noted differences between the social and material contexts of the workplace and those of undergraduate engineering education. No existing research has studied the social and material...

Pedestrian distraction : pedestrian behaviors at midblock crossings considering geometric and environmental conditions

Creator:

Kautz, Julia Anne

Abstract:

Pedestrian distraction at roadway crossings has been correlated with a higher risk of pedestrian-vehicle collisions due to the pedestrian's cognitive, visual, and motor attention being drawn to a wide variety of secondary tasks. This study is different from previous field studies of pedestrian midblock crossings in that the geometric layout...
