  • Mass transport in laboratory water wave flumes

    Creator:
    Kim, Tae In
    Abstract:
    A complete solution, exact to second-order, for wave motion forced by a hinged-wavemaker of variable-draft is presented. A solution for a piston type wavemaker is also obtained as a special case of a hinged-wavemaker with negative infinite draft. The existing Stokes inviscid theories for mass transport is extended to include...

  • Development of Authentic Engineering Curriculum through Collaborative Development: Research on Development and Adoption

    Creator:
    Cross, Matthew J.
    Abstract:
    Background: Studies indicate that problems utilized in traditional undergraduate engineering education do not adequately prepare students for the workforce. Calls to implement authentic, ill-structured problems into upper level engineering experiences may address this issue but adopting authentic engineering problems without considering barriers to adoption of faculty has not been fully...

  • Transport and adsorption of proteinanceous particles during flow through porous media

    Creator:
    Yamamoto, Tokuo
    Abstract:
    This is a fundamental study of the mechanism of protein particle removal during flow through sandy soil. Mathematical models for diffusion-adsorption and diffusion-convection-adsorption processes were developed and compared with experimental data. An attempt was made to calculate the distance over which the adsorption forces act. The differential equation for the...

  • Interactive Genetic Algorithms for watershed planning : an investigation of usability and human-centered design

    Creator:
    Piemonti, Adriana Debora
    Abstract:
    Degradation of watersheds is a major concern in areas where adverse climate effects and unsustainable use of the natural resources have caused extensive stresses to watershed systems (e.g., increased floods, increased droughts, worsened in-stream water quality) through the years. While considerable efforts are being made to generate technical solutions that...

  • An evaluation of planning for water quality control in the Willamette River Basin

    Creator:
    Kirkpatrick, Kenton
    Abstract:
    It is no longer possible in any area of the United States to formulate water resources plans for single purpose projects as has been done in past years. No longer can one of our greatest natural resources, water, be used solely for navigation, power generation, irrigation, or controlled for reducing...

  • An investigation of alternative means of achieving water quality objectives

    Creator:
    Kerri, Kenneth Donald
    Abstract:
    Storage of water for water quality control is one of the alternative means of achieving water quality objectives. Authorities in the field of water quality management disagree regarding the use of precious water for the dilution of wastes. The costs of achieving water quality objectives by treatment of wastes at...

  • Pull-Oriented Faculty Development: A Multiple, Descriptive-Explanatory Case Study

    Creator:
    Barner, Matthew S.
    Abstract:
    Traditional faculty development programs aimed at disseminating research-based pedagogy and innovations at potential adopters have helped increase awareness of these innovations; however, their adoption into engineering classrooms has been limited. This paper aims to present an alternative, pull-oriented approach to faculty development where faculty participants co-develop curricular innovations with engineering...

  • Development of an ACIP pile-specific load-displacement model

    Creator:
    Adami, Nasim
    Abstract:
    Augered cast-in-place piles, also known as ACIP piles, have been used for more than seven decades in the United States and have gained in popularity due to their relatively quick installation and cost-effectiveness. Owing to the reduced impact on the neighboring environment as compared to some other deep foundation installation...

  • The Statistical and Econometric Analyses of the Impacts of Covid-19 on Truck Driver Behavior

    Creator:
    Velasquez, Brianna N.
    Abstract:
    The outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the restrictions implemented in response to it (e.g., stay-at-home orders, social distancing mandates, business closures) had unprecedented effects on the trucking industry. The pandemic prompted the first significant overhaul of federal hours-of-service (HOS) regulations in over 15 years. Prior to the...

  • The impact of powered mobility use on expressive communication development of young children with disabilities

    Creator:
    Morrison, Zoe
    Abstract:
    While the use of powered mobility devices for young children with mobility challenges has taken off in recent years following evidence that the use of powered mobility at a young age augments other traditional mobility skill interventions, the research is still limited and focuses on physical impacts more. Recently, the...
