    Abstract:
    Surf zone eddies (f < 0.01 Hz) are important in nearshore mixing, shoreline erosion, the distribution of pollutants, and ecological processes, such as offshore transport of larvae. Surf zone eddies have traditionally been treated as two-dimensional features with horizontal length scales larger than the local water depth. Studies by Lippmann...

    Henderson, Scott Edward
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, we investigate the problem of simulating Maxwell's equations in dispersive dielectric media. We begin by explaining the relevance of Maxwell's equations to 21st century problems. We also discuss the previous work on the numerical simulations of Maxwell's equations. Introductions to Maxwell's equations and the Yee finite difference...

    Creator:
    Banshchikova, Inga
    Abstract:
    Because the environmental threats are becoming global in scope, international cooperation and global governance issues are in the spotlight. The most controversial environmental law and policy problems arise in the areas where no individual state has sole responsibility for governing, "global commons." Scholars believe that the best way to deal...

    Abstract:
    This essay evaluates the effectiveness of NGO strategies to promote program sustainability using a case study of two NGOs that install biosand water filters in Cambodia. While the ownership-focused strategy of cost-sharing is the most commonly used and studied, there is evidence to suggest that certain more neglected strategies can...

  • Examining if and how the Sandinistas Democratized Nicaragua Between 1979 and 1990

    Creator:
    Bolotin, Jacob L.
    Abstract:
    The Sandinistas embarked on a unique and controversial path of democratization between 1979 and 1990 that focused first on expanding human development due to Nicaragua's historical underdevelopment before holding elections. This differs widely from methods advocated still today that emphasize expanding civil and political liberties and holding elections. The purpose...
