  • Evaluating dairy waste management systems ̓influence on fecal coliform concentration in runoff

    Creator:
    Grismer, Mark Edward
    Abstract:
    This paper examines the environmental factors influencing the die-off and transport of fecal coliform bacteria present in wastes applied to the land surface. These factors are examined specifically for dairy waste management systems and the net effect each system has on runoff water quality. A model is developed that considers...

  • The control and fate of enteric bacteria in the environment with particular emphasis on the factors influencing fecal indicator survival in waste storage facilities

    Creator:
    Crane, Stuart R.
    Abstract:
    The indiscriminate release of fecal bacteria to the environment can present a public health hazard when pathogenic species gain access to drinking and recreational water sources. The extent of bacterial contamination of surface and ground waters associated with animal production units and waste application areas seems largely dependent on the...

  • Investigating Accelerated Carbonation Methods for Sequestering CO₂ into Lime Treated Soils

    Creator:
    Moore, Jaxom
    Abstract:
    Civil engineers frequently use lime to improve the mechanical properties of weak clayey soils. The production of lime is associated with significant CO₂ emissions. Sequestering carbon dioxide into the stabilized soil can effectively reduce the carbon footprint of the lime. In the presence of CO₂, unreacted lime in the stabilized...

  • Fuzzy logic for improved dilemma zone identification : a simulator study

    Creator:
    Moore, Derek
    Abstract:
    The Type-II dilemma zone refers to the segment of roadway approaching an intersection where drivers have difficulty deciding to stop or proceed through at the onset of the circular yellow (CY) indication. Signalized intersection safety can be improved when the dilemma zone is correctly identified and steps are taken to...

  • Multi-objective Optimization of Reservoir Operation Under Uncertainty with Robust and Flexible Decision Variables

    Creator:
    Hosseini, Parnian
    Abstract:
    Optimization of reservoir operation is involves various competing objectives for a scarce resource (water). To find the optimal operation of reservoirs, it is essential to consider multiple objectives simultaneously. There are various sources of uncertainty associated with the reservoir operation problem that should be considered as well. The overarching goal...

  • A determination of ultimate pile capacity in clayey silt

    Creator:
    Thompson, Duane Melvin
    Abstract:
    Predetermining the ultimate capacity of piles driven into purely cohesive soils and purely cohesionless soils involves, respectively, the consideration of soil shear strength in a completely undrained and a completely drained condition. For the intermediate cases concerning soils that possess both cohesion and internal friction (silts, clayey silts, sandy clays,...

  • A preliminary assessment of post-fire dissolved organic carbon concentrations in the McKenzie River basin, Oregon

    Creator:
    Hyatt, Charles
    Abstract:
    In recent decades, the occurrence of large, high severity wildfires has increased substantially in many parts of the world, including the western United States. These fires have the potential to impact water quality, aquatic ecosystems, and downstream communities for many decades. As such, it is increasingly important to understand the...

  • The development of a gas-permeable-membrane-supported (GPMS) biofilm reactor for the combined anaerobic/aerobic treatment of polychlorinated biphenyls

    Creator:
    Polonsky, Jon D.
    Abstract:
    A continuous flow, gas-permeable-membrane-supported (GPMS) biofilm reactor was developed to facilitate the treatment of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The GPMS biofilm reactor consisted of a cylindrical glass vessel made up of three compartments: the gas, liquid and headspace compartments. A gas-permeable membrane separated the bottom gas compartment from the liquid compartment....

  • Three dimensional dynamic video position sensing

    Creator:
    Jansky, L. Andrew
    Abstract:
    A comprehensive system to locate and track objects in two or three dimensional space, using non-contact video sensing techniques is described. The need exists to be able to quantify range and proximity of objects that would be difficult or impossible to measure using standard contact based sensor technology. Available video...

  • Modeling hydraulic dredge spoil fate

    Creator:
    Tseng, Ying-chuan
    Abstract:
    Hydraulic dredging is and most certainly will remain a primary means of maintaining and improving ship channels and for land reclamation in near-shore water. The study of which this thesis describes a part is intended to develop a method of predetermining the immediate disposition of sand spoils from hydraulic dredging...
