A diagnostic modeling study of the cloud and precipitation
processes, and also frontogenesis have been analyzed in a severe
narrow cold-frontal rainband with the aid of a three-dimensional,
diagnostic cloud model.
The results of the model simulations indicate that the heavy
precipitation just behind the surface cold front was associated...
To date, the use of oceanographic data in fisheries management has been limited by the scarcity and the difficulty of accessing complete oceanographic datasets. Consequently, fish stocks are managed with limited knowledge about the habitat where fish live and incomplete understanding of what oceanographic conditions affect their populations. With the...
A one-dimensional numerical model has been developed to study diabatic and adiabatic
flow boiling in microchannels. This model accounts for developing flow effects and
variable property effects. The model uses correlations for void fraction and two-phase
multipliers found in the literature. The model has been used to study the performance...
We develop several a-priori and a-posteriori error estimates for two-grid finite element discretization of coupled elliptic and parabolic systems with a set of parameters P. We present numerical results that verify the convergence order of the numerical schemes predicted by the a-priori estimates. We present numerical results that verify the...
The fouling characteristics of simulated cooling tower water flowing over a heated metallic surface has been studied. The bulk temperature of the water was maintained around 95°F. Mainly three different water qualities with respect to calcium hardness level were investigated. The pH was controlled by the addition of hydrochloric acid....
In this dissertation we construct a homology theory on the category of submersions which generalizes the homology of the base space with coefficients in the homology of the fiber as given by the E²-terms of the Serre spectral sequence of a fiber bundle. The main motivation for this new homology...
Predatory lionfishes (Pterois volitans and P. miles) were introduced to Florida waters during the mid to late 1980s, and eventually established self-sustaining breeding populations in the tropical western Atlantic. These invasive species are now widespread along the southeastern seaboard of the United States, across the Caribbean Sea, and in the...
An interpretative philosophical framework was applied to a case study to document the particular experiences and perspectives of ten women engineering transfer students
who once attended a community college and are currently enrolled in one of two university
professional engineering programs. This study is important because women still do not...
A supply and demand model for the sweet cherry industry in Wasco County, Oregon and two investment valuation models are used to value and assess the risk of investments in high-density sweet cherry orchard establishment and production from the producer perspective. The supply and demand estimation finds the cherry price...
The purpose of this study is to explore the factors that may influence students' motivation or choice to attend their institution's intercollegiate athletic events and also to relate the lived experiences of administrators of athletic programs at a university in Korea. The research design included both quantitative and qualitative approaches....
