Assessment of the causal linkages between forests and fish: implications for management and monitoring.

Creator:: Martens, Kyle D.
Abstract:: Understanding the causal links between riparian forests, streams, and salmonids is important to help understand the likely effects of forest management practices. Previous studies have identified three major causal pathways (Instream Cover, Light, and Hydrology) through which riparian forests influence streams, and ultimately stream fishes. To evaluate the potential importance...

Computational Modeling of Smoldering Combustion in Wildland Fuels

Creator:: Jayasuriya, Waduge Jayani A.
Abstract:: Smoldering combustion in wildland fires is a critical phenomenon that needs in-depth study because it can initiate with weaker ignition sources, can persist for long periods, is difficult to suppress, and can transit to flaming combustion. Cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin are the major organic constituents within biomass, in varying proportions...

Chemical Solution Deposition and in-situ Structural Characterization of Pb-free, Bi-based, Piezoelectric Thin Films

Creator:: Fox, Austin J.
Abstract:: This work explores the electric field induced strain mechanisms in environmentally benign Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 (BNT) based piezoelectric thin films. Although BNT-based materials show promise as replacements for toxic Pb-based piezoelectrics, the displacement mechanisms are not consistent between thin films and bulk materials, and the differences have yet to be well understood....

Wireless Multi-Sensor Patch for Wind Turbine Impact Detection

Creator:: Wilson, Calder
Abstract:: Bird and bat collisions with wind turbines are a problem that needs to be better quantified for its impact to be fully understood. This thesis documents portions of the design of a sensor patch module for use on wind turbines blades to detect impacts caused by birds and bats. This...

The associations between subdimensions of religiosity and illicit substance use among latino sexual minority men

Creator:: Lamb, Kalina M., Brady, John P., Gonzales, Manuel, and Blashill, Aaron J.
Abstract:: Background: Latino sexual minority men (SMM) may be a group disproportionately at risk for substance use than heterosexual Latino men and non-Latino SMM. As religiosity may be a culturally relevant factor, the current study aimed to explore the association of three subcomponents of religiosity: organizational religious activity (ORA; i.e., public...

Numbering-Up of Microscale Devices for Megawatt-Scale Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Concentrating Solar Power Receivers

Creator:: Zada, Kyle R., Hyder, Matthew B., Drost, M. Kevin, and Fronk, Brian M.
Abstract:: Concentrated solar power (CSP) plants have the potential to reduce the consumption of nonrenewable resources and greenhouse gas emissions in electricity production. In CSP systems, a field of heliostats focuses solar radiation on a central receiver, and energy is then transferred to a thermal power plant at high temperature. However,...

Examination of Dielectric Properties of BaTiO3-SrTiO3 Based Systems

Creator:: Trobough, Nathaniel D.
Abstract:: This thesis examines the dielectric properties of two systems based on the perovskite materials barium titanate and strontium titanate. A solid solution was created starting with these base materials and then adding varying amounts of bismuth-zinc titanate and sodium niobate. These compositions were calcined and sintered at temperatures determined to...

Multi-Scale Study of Ember Production and Transport under Multiple Environmental and Fuel Conditions

Creator:: Hudson, Tyler R.
Abstract:: Spot fires caused by lofted embers (i.e., firebrands) can be a significant factor in the spread of wildland fires. Embers can be especially dangerous near the wildland-urban interface (WUI) because of the potential for the fire to be spread near or on structures. Many studies have investigated the transport of...

Evaluation of Heat and Mass Transfer Models for Sizing Low-Temperature Kalina Cycle Microchannel Condensers

Creator:: Fronk, Brian M. and Zada, Kyle R.
Abstract:: Waste heat driven ammonia/water Kalina cycles have shown promise for improving the efficiency of electricity production from low-temperature reservoirs (T < 150 °C). However, there has been limited application of these systems to utilize widely available, disperse, waste heat streams for smaller scale power production (1–10 kWe). Factors limiting increased deployment of these...

Accelerating solutions of one-dimensional unsteady PDEs with GPU-based swept time-space decomposition

Creator:: Magee, Daniel J. and Niemeyer, Kyle E.
Abstract:: The expedient design of precision components in aerospace and other high-tech industries requires simulations of physical phenomena often described by partial differential equations (PDEs) without exact solutions. Modern design problems require simulations with a level of resolution difficult to achieve in reasonable amounts of time-even in effectively parallelized solvers. Though...
