During the past year the rapid increase in the cost of copper and aluminum has led operating companies to investigate the feasibility of using iron and steel conductors for transmission and distribution purposes where small blocks of power are to be served. This Thesis gives the results of tests on...
Bathymetry data (measurements of the elevations of submerged surfaces like the seafloor and lake beds) are an important factor in many scientific, economic, and engineering disciplines. Bathymetric surveys are widely used for benthic habitat mapping, flood inundation modeling, marine resource delineation, and nautical charting. While this ubiquity makes the generation...
All of the data was collected at the FIGMENT art festival in New York City on June 23 and 24, 2018. The data was collected through: 1) paper survey for attendees to Guerilla Science activities, 2) short interviews (entry and exit) for attendees to Guerilla Science activities, and 3) short...
This dataset contains the data generated for a study to evaluate if institutional research data policies in the US support or encourage the FAIR principles (Wilkinson et al 2016). The data include a list of criteria developed for the analysis, and the reasoning behind the inclusion or exclusion of criteria...
This data provides observations and measurements used to answer questions of interest regarding how setback crosswalks at intersections affect driver behavior and intersection safety as part of the study titled “SPR840 Safest Placement for Crosswalks at Intersections.” Data includes measurements from the simulator portion of the study which gathered information...
These datasets were used in the prospective meta-analysis of northern spotted owl reproductive rates over 25 years across 11 study areas located throughout the range of the owl. A multi-state occupancy file was created by collapsing site-specific information on owl reproductive status into bimonthly (2 per month) survey occasions. These...
This dataset contains the chemical composition and reactivities of commercially used SCMs such as silica fume, Class-F and Class-C fly ashes, slags, and calcined clays. The dataset also includes the chemical composition and reactivity (where available) for several SCMs that are currently not specified in standard specifications by ASTM or...
This dataset provides the observations used to answer questions of interest regarding how intersection and traffic characteristics impact the frequency and severity of bicycle-vehicle conflicts as part of the field data analysis portion of the study titled "SPR 833 Intersection Treatments and Bicyclist Safety." Parameters such as bicycle-vehicle conflicts (measured...
Salmonid fish raised in hatcheries often have lower fitness (number of returning adult offspring) than wild fish when both spawn in the wild. Body size at release from hatcheries is positively correlated with survival at sea. So one explanation for reduced fitness is that hatcheries inadvertently select for trait values...
