Spatial patterns of fuel management activities and their effects on wildfire behavior

Creator:: Kim, Young-Hwan
Abstract:: Fuel management has been used as an effective local strategy to reduce the undesirable consequences of wildfires. Many efforts toward scheduling of fuel management activities across a broader landscape have been proposed, with the hope of achieving larger landscape-scale management effects. However, scheduling of fuel management treatments across the broader...

Mitigating cyanobacterial harmful algae blooms : the role of plant humics

Creator:: Theis, Susan A. F.
Abstract:: Cyanobacterial harmful algae blooms (cyanoHABs) are a growing concern worldwide due to damage of ecosystems and threats to human health. Previous research indicates that plant humics from aquatic and wetland vascular plants are effective inhibitors of cyanobacterial metabolism and growth and may be useful as control agents for mitigating cyanoHABs....

Co-treatment of Municipal Wastewater and Landfill Leachate in an Activated Sludge Sequencing Batch Reactor

Creator:: Bushee, Gavin A.
Abstract:: A year-long bench-scale treatability study was performed to assess the feasibility of using an activated sludge sequencing batch reactor (SBR) to treat a mixture of domestic wastewater and landfill leachate. A 50/50 (v/v) of domestic wastewater and landfill leachate was treated in a 1 L SBR operated on a 12...

Bacterial hydrophobicity : assessment techniques, applications and extension to colloids

Creator:: Saini, Gaurav
Abstract:: This research details laboratory assessment of bacterial hydrophobicity, variations in bacterial adhesion properties with growth and extended starvation as well as extension of this assay to colloidal hydrophobicity measurement. Hydrophobicity is an integral component of surface interactions and has been studied extensively for its role in a number of engineering...

Evaluation of amorphous oxide semiconductors for thin film transistors (TFTs) and resistive random access memory (RRAM) applications

Creator:: Rajachidambaram, Jaana Saranya
Abstract:: Thin-film transistors (TFTs) are primarily used as a switching element in liquid crystal displays. Currently, amorphous silicon is the dominant TFT technology for displays, but higher performance TFTs will become necessary to enable ultra-definition resolution high-frequency large-area displays. Amorphous zinc tin oxide (ZTO) TFTs were fabricated by RF magnetron sputter...

Characterization of Carboxylic Acids on Hafnium Oxide Thin Films

Creator:: Ray, Peter William
Abstract:: Hafnium Oxide thin films has had growing attention due hafnium oxide being used as a gate dielectric for MOSFET transistors and a potential next generation photoresist for sub 20 nm patterns. Extreme Ultra-Violet (EUV) lithography has been identified as the primary candidate technology for generation of sub-20 nm patterns. Current...

Exploring functional links between circadian clocks, neurodegeneration, and aging in Drosophila melanogaster

Creator:: Rakshit, Kuntol
Abstract:: Circadian clocks are endogenous molecular mechanisms that coordinate daily rhythms in gene expression, cellular activities, and physiological functions with external day/night cycles. Breakdown of circadian rhythms such as sleep/wake cycles is associated with the onset of several neurological diseases; however, it is not clear whether disruption of rhythms is a...

Towards Direct Simultaneous Speech Translation

Creator:: Chen, Junkun
Abstract:: Simultaneous speech translation (SimulST) is widely useful in many cross-lingual communication scenarios, including multinational conferences and international traveling. Since text-based simultaneous machine translation (SimulMT) has achieved great success in recent years. The conventional cascaded approach for SimulST uses a pipeline of streaming ASR followed by simultaneous MT but suffers from...

An Agent-based Evacuation Modeling of Underground Fire Emergency

Creator:: Xu, Yue
Abstract:: Increasingly congested surface transportation network in urban areas and grow-ing land values make underground transportation systems more attractive for high-ways (i.e., tunnels) and metro system compared to other options [1]. An underground transportation system can preserve the land above for recreational parks, commer-cial buildings, residential homes, or other purposes while...

Development and decommissioning of small dams : analysis of impact and context

Creator:: Kibler, Kelly Maren
Abstract:: Management of small dams may have profound implications for the health and integrity of small rivers and freshwater diversity. Global indicators suggest future growth in the small hydropower sector, particularly in developing countries. As a renewable energy source, it is often presumed that small hydropower entails fewer and less severe...
