Since the collapse of World Trade Center building number seven (WTC7), significant research has been done to understand the behavior of steel structures in fire and enable engineers to account for the behavior of steel framing systems exposed to fire during design. Despite these efforts, there are still significant barriers...
Significant use of cold in-place recycling (CIR) has occurred in
Oregon since 1984 as an alternative to other rehabilitation techniques
or to the reconstruction of distressed asphalt concrete (AC) pavements.
Due to the initial success of the projects cold recycled during 1984-85,
the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and Oregon...
Land application of industrial wastewater with high levels of nitrogen requires
adequate management practices to prevent groundwater pollution by nitrates. In this study
a predictive computerized model was developed for nitrate leachate concentrations
resulting from land application of wastewater onto crop systems including poplars. The
study included a literature review,...
This thesis explores the factors limiting the alkene substrate range of the vinyl chloride (VC)-utilizing bacteria, and describes a method for measuring VC transformation in situ. Vinyl fluoride (VF) was evaluated as a surrogate for monitoring aerobic VC-transformation utilizing three isolates, Mycobacterium EE13a, Mycobacterium JS60 and Nocardioides JS614. JS614 grew...
