Environmental Regulations Reconsidered : Identifying Incentives and Barriers to Environmental Performance

Creator:: Craig, Kathleen D.
Abstract:: Attention has been drawn to the observation that environmental benefits under the current regulatory approaches are diminishing with respect to increased pollution control costs. Regulators have begun to appreciate that while environmental gains can still be achieved under the current command and control system, the most significant environmental gains have...

Bacteria die-off in stream sediments

Creator:: Sherer, Brett Micheal
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact sediment has on the survival of bacteria in a typical rangeland stream. This information is an important component in determining a time integrated prediction of bacterial numbers in the stream sediment and overlying water. Bacterial survival in stream is a...

A model to predict the bacterial quality of a rangeland stream

Creator:: Biskie, Howard A
Abstract:: Grazing cattle usually have access to streams as a source of drinking water. A model was developed for the personal computer to predict the bacterial quality of these streams. The model estimates the number of organisms that enter the stream by the direct deposit of feces and by runoff from...

Modeling of point rainfall processes in the Republic of Cape Verde

Creator:: Lenhart, James H.
Abstract:: The rainfall regime of the Cape Verde Islands is influenced by the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) resulting in strong seasonal trends and frequent thunderstorm events. These events are frequently responsible for the destruction of riverine structures and valuable crop land. A menu driven database program (RIS) was developed for the...

Practical two-stage pipe expansions for centrifugal pump irrigation

Creator:: Fazio, John A
Abstract:: Centrifugal irrigation pumps discharge fluids at high velocities that must be slowed to minimize energy losses due to friction. Pipe expansions make the transition to larger pipes associated with slower velocities. Expansions convert the upstream velocity head to static head in the downstream pipe. The transition to a larger pipe...

Assessing groundwater vulnerability to contamination using finite element modeling and geographic information systems

Creator:: Rea, Alan H.
Abstract:: A method was developed for assessing the vulnerability of groundwater to contamination from contaminant sources at the soil surface, using a numerical groundwater flow model linked to a digital map database. The method was applied using the pcARC/INFO Geographic Information System (GIS) to input, store, and manipulate base maps, resulting...

Microprocessor control and numerical model for broiler house summer ventilation utilizing a rockbed heat sink

Creator:: Chen, Chaur-Fong
Abstract:: Summer brooding often requires some form of air modification in addition to maximizing ventilation rate to prevent animal heat stress and possible death due to hyperthermia. A rockbed thermal storage module was designed and constructed to provide sensibly cooled air for a broiler space under summer brooding conditions. A mathematical...

Multivariate geostatistical analysis of groundwater contamination by pesticide and nitrate

Creator:: Smyth, Jeffrey D.
Abstract:: A field study was conducted to determine the applicability of multivariate geostatistical methods to the problem of estimating and simulating pesticide concentrations in groundwater from measured concentrations of nitrate and pesticide, when pesticide is undersampled. Prior to this study, no published attempt had been made to apply multivariate geostatistics to...
