An experimental and numerical modeling investigation was conducted to study interactions between microbial dynamics and transport processes in variably saturated porous media. These interactions are important in a variety of applied problems such as water and wastewater treatment, bioremediation, and oil-field recovery operations. These processes and interactions also have great...
The purpose of this study was to determine whether a
relationship exists between perceived realism of computer
graphic images and the ability of children to solve
spatially related problems. Experiments were performed
using 23 subjects between the ages of 8 and 11 who were
enrolled in an elementary summer school...
A plant's immediate neighborhood reflects its realized level of competitive stress, since competition and natural selection act at the individual level. In stands with continuous canopies competition for light is the dominant spatial interaction. Over 100 spatially explicit indices have been used to characterize the local competitive environment in models...
The focusing of public attention on the practices of forest managers has resulted
in the need for new tools to help explain the results of these practices. The traditional
tools of tables and graphs of numerical values require a significant investment in
learning the forestry profession. Once the investment is...
Recent advances in imaging technology and numerical modeling have greatly enhanced pore-scale investigations of multiphase flow and transport in porous media. It is now feasible to obtain high resolution 3-dimensional pore-scale data, and numerical methods such as the lattice-
Boltzmann (LB) technique have been developed specifically for simulating such phenomena....
Cable yarding systems (also sometimes known as skyline yarding systems) are a versatile means for transporting materials in mountainous terrain in situations that do not allow for conventional harvesting methods such as ground skidding or shovel-logging. Adequate ground anchors are necessary for the safe operation of cable yarding systems. Anchored...
