Understanding Citizen Advisory Boards : A National Census of Tree Boards

Creator:: Greenleaf, Sarah (Sarah Maleno)
Abstract:: Effective management of urban forests is vital to society due to the numerous ecological, economic, and social benefits they provide. In many cities, management efforts are commonly supported by citizen advisory groups, which are often generically referred to as “tree boards” within the urban forestry context. Very little is known...

Safety performance of curve advisory speed signs

Creator:: Avelar Moran, Raúl Eduardo
Abstract:: Posting advisory speed signs at sharp horizontal curve sites is a practice well established in the United States. The purpose of these signs is to provide the driving public with a safe speed to negotiate such curves; however, the link between these signs and safety has not yet been clearly...

Consistency and effectiveness of advisory speeds: an evaluation of current posting techniques

Creator:: Rohani, Joshan W.
Abstract:: Crash rates are said to be nearly three times higher on curved sections than those on straight sections of rural roadways. As a result, advisory curve/speed signs are standard practice to mitigate these risks on sharp horizontal curves. The industry standard for determining appropriate and uniform speeds for such signs...

Effectiveness of curve advisory speed signs : a characterization of road operations in western Oregon

Creator:: Avelar Morán, Raúl Eduardo
Abstract:: Posting advisory speed signs at sharp horizontal curve locations is a common practice in the U.S. These signs recommend drivers safe speeds to negotiate such curves. Literature indicates that adherence to advisory speeds is, in general, poor. Moreover, limited research is available that quantifies safety implications of these signs. This...

Evaluation of the performance of a taut-moored dual-body direct-drive waveenergy converter through numerical modeling and physical testing

Creator:: Elwood, David E.
Abstract:: With energy prices rising and increasing concern about the influence of fossil fuels on climate change, wave energy systems are on the verge of commercial implementation. These first generation wave energy converters utilize either pneumatics or hydraulics to convert the mechanical energy of waves into electricity. For the last several...

A novel linear generator for wave energy applications

Creator:: Ernst, Steven George
Abstract:: With the increasing effort to identify alternative methods of energy generation, extraction of ocean energy has gathered a large interest. Research and industry have begun considering wave energy as the next new alternative energy. The unique challenges of ocean energy requires a wave energy converter to be both robust and...

Traditional Environmental Knowledge (TEK) and Cultural Reconstruction: A Practical Application at the Red Bluff Recreation Area, Mendocino National Forest, Grindstone District

Creator:: Riske-Gomez, Jessica
Abstract:: The project location is a pre-historical gathering site for basketry materials utilized by the Wintun people within the boundaries of the Red Bluff Recreation Area. Due to environmental changes and neglect, the site has fallen into disuse and degradation. The aim of this project is ethnoecological restoration, which varies from...

Boundary Dynamics of a Transformative Learning Network : Improving Connection at the Interface of Science and Society

Creator:: Risien, Julie
Abstract:: Transformative learning networks are a specific type of loose network with geographically distributed members and member organizations. They hold particular promise for transformation when both top-down and bottom-up processes have failed to support desired systems-level change. The aim of this dissertation is to build knowledge about the social-interactional processes, roles,...
