Estimating Drag and Roughness along a Near-Vertical Ice-Ocean Boundary on a Grounded Iceberg

Creator:: Cohen, Nadia
Abstract:: Ice–ocean interactions have profound consequences for the ocean and climate, influencing the rate of sea level rise. Submarine melt is commonly parameterized using a three-equation formulation for the heat, salt, and momentum conservation equations coupled to a buoyant plume model, together called plume-melt theory. However, recent direct observations of terminus...

Laboratory Observations of Tsunami-Driven Debris Damming with Comparison to ASCE 7-22 Minimum Design Loads

Creator:: Doyle, Kellen C.
Abstract:: Tsunami inundation of coastal communities can impose a wide array of forces on the built environment. Forces generated by tsunami-driven debris damming have the potential to cause failure of coastal structures and further accumulate flow-entrained debris. Since tsunami-resilient design standards were adopted by ASCE in 2016, debris damming considerations have...

The Practice of Polygyny on the Utilisation of Reproductive Health Services Among Married Women in Ghana

Creator:: Kumbeni, Maxwell Tii, Alem, John Ndebugri, Ziba, Florence Assibi, Afaya, Agani, and Apanga, Paschal Awingura
Abstract:: While the practice of polygyny is common in Ghana, little is known about its impact on the use of reproductive health services. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between polygynous marriage and the utilisation of skilled antenatal care (ANC), assisted skilled birth, and modern contraceptive services...

Semidiurnal Atmospheric Tide Driven Superinertial Oscillation on the Texas-Louisiana Shelf

Creator:: Hsu, Fucent Hsuan Wei
Abstract:: Basin-scale superinertial oceanic tides have been observed globally to resonate with the continental shelf (e.g., the Patagonian Shelf) with a clear theoretical framework. However, the response of the shelf to atmospheric tides – another basin-scale forcing – has not been discussed. This study explores this response using a prominent S2...

Comparison and Validation of Hydrodynamic Theories for Wave Energy Converter Modelling

Creator:: Leary, Matthew M.
Abstract:: A wide variety of hydrodynamic theories are utilized to approximate a Wave Energy Converter’s (WEC) equation of motion. Numerous theories have been refined in order to improve numerical approximations of WEC dynamics. When incorporating refined hydrodynamic theories into numerical models, there are distinct impacts on WEC rigid body motions, cable...

The Extraction and Analytical Profiling of Bioactive Phospho- and Sphingolipids from Commercial Whey Protein Phospholipid Concentrate

Creator:: Ferraris, Quintin M.
Abstract:: Milk is the first source of nutrition for all mammalian neonates. The complex matrix that constitutes milk has evolved to provide optimal nutrition for the newborn, for each species, respectively. Milk fat, originating in mammary epithelial, forms lipid droplets which are stabilized in the aqueous environment by bioactive polar lipids...

Steady-State Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis of a Quarter-Core Liquid Metal-hydride Cooled Microreactor

Creator:: Stevens, Kaeley R.
Abstract:: This thesis assessed the passive, natural circulation, design for a Bi-Ca-CaH2 cooled microreactor based on initial figures of merit. The values for the figures of merit selected for this thesis were: the maximum temperature in the core should not be more than 150 K above the average core outlet temperature,...

Design Optimization of a Structurally Flexible Wave Energy Converter with a Direct Search Algorithm

Creator:: Berrier, Austin S.
Abstract:: Several wave energy converter designs have been recently proposed that are made of flexible materials. Flexible devices are able to generate electricity by being stretched, and are intended to simplify deployment and maintenance concerns over existing wave energy devices. Due to the relative infancy of flexible wave energy converters, however,...

Streamwater Microbial Communities as Hydrologic Observation: Insights Gained from Investigation of a Novel Dataset

Creator:: URycki, Dawn R.
Abstract:: Interactions and feedbacks among climate change effects and continued human impacts will exacerbate impacts to water resources in complex ways. An urgent imperative of the hydrologic community is to understand the response of hydrologic systems to these perturbations, thus contributing to long-term sustainability of water resources in an uncertain future....

Processes Contributing to Bering Sea Temperature Variability in the Late 20th and Early 21st Century

Creator:: Hayden, Emily E. and O'Neal, Larry W.
Abstract:: Over recent decades, the Bering Sea has experienced oceanic and atmospheric climate extremes, including record warm ocean temperature anomalies and marine heatwaves (MHWs), and increasingly variable air-sea heat fluxes. In this work, we assess the relative roles of surface forcing and ocean dynamical processes on mixed layer temperature (MLT) tendency...
