Evaluating Spatial Patterns of Heavy Metal Levels and Pb Isotopic Compositions of Peat Soils along the Red Dog Mine Haul Road in Northwest Alaska

Creator:: Melby, Kali M.
Abstract:: This study evaluates ore transport and other mining activities on metal levels in the remote Arctic ecosystem of Cape Krusenstern National Monument (CAKR) in northwestern Alaska. This monument is 50 km SW of Red Dog Mine, one of the world’s largest Pb–Zn mines. The Delong Mountain Transportation System (DMTS) haul...

Multi-objective Optimization for Equitable Post-Disaster Relief Supply Distribution

Creator:: Subramaniam, Purnima
Abstract:: Humanitarian logistics in the post-disaster phase of an earthquake requires detailed planning about the relief distribution network including assigning available distribution centers (DCs) to the affected areas, distribution of the relief commodities demanded by the affected population, and efficient allocation of the available vehicle fleet for the distribution in a...

Time-Dependent Crack Growth Mechanisms in Alloy 617 at 800°C in Air

Creator:: Addison, Dylan, A.
Abstract:: Time-dependent crack growth mechanisms in Alloy 617 at 800°C in air were studied using compact tension samples machined in the L-T direction, cracked at temperature using an induction furnace and servo-hydraulic load frame. The application of different loading waveforms, including triangular, hold time, and sustained loading, were studied with relation...

Predicting the impacts on residential property values from changes in water quality

Creator:: Doverspike, Mark Steven
Abstract:: Eutrophication is the accelerated aging process of a lake which generally decreases the water quality in terms of aesthetic and recreational uses. At Liberty Lake, near Spokane, Washington, eutrophication has become a problem. Many individuals and agencies are interested in the benefits that occur when the lake's water quality has...

Optimizing Reservoir Operations to Adapt to 21st Century Expectations of Climate and Social Change in the Willamette River Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Moore, Kathleen M.
Abstract:: Reservoir systems in the western US are managed to serve two main competing purposes: to reduce flooding during the winter and spring, and to provide water supply for multiple uses during the summer. Because the storage capacity of a reservoir cannot be used for both flood damage reduction and water...

Understanding the economic benefits of tidal wetlands restoration

Creator:: Shaw, Graham R.
Abstract:: Habitat restoration projects are vital for recovering ecosystems, but they can be expensive. One way to help justify the price tag is to value the economic benefits provided by the restored habitat. The issue is that many ecosystem services and the flow of benefits they produce are complex, requiring careful...

Process Information Modeling for Characterizing Sustainability Performance of Cyclic Manufacturing Processes

Creator:: Manoharan, Sriram
Abstract:: Sustainability has become an unprecedented priority in global manufacturing due to the growing concerns over issues such as an aging workforce, environmental degradation, and public health. The simultaneous consideration of the economic, environmental, and social aspects – often referred to as the “three pillars of sustainability” – is crucial to...

A proposed framework for increasing the accessibility of systems thinking intervention approaches for non-systems thinking practitioners

Creator:: Solberg, Thomas Roe
Abstract:: Meta-methodologies have been created to assist systems thinking practitioners in selecting applicable intervention approaches for different system states; however, current meta-methodologies do not address the lack of accessibility for non-systems thinking practitioners. To address this problem, the key system states that contribute the most to reduce the variety gap between...

The Effects of Prostaglandin F2α on Reproductive Performance in the Postpartum Dairy Cow and the Mechanism Behind its Benefits

Creator:: Younger, Kathryn Genevieve
Abstract:: During the beginning of the postpartum period, 80 to 100% of lactating dairy cows have bacterial contamination within their uteri. Presence of uterine bacteria may contribute to increased number of days open and services per conception within these cows. Expulsion of uterine contamination is crucial for uterine involution and reproductive...

Habitat relationships of native and non-native fishes of the Willamette River, Oregon

Creator:: Williams, Joshua E.
Abstract:: The Willamette River flows north between the Cascade Mountains and Coast Range of western Oregon within a 29,728-km² basin. The fish community in the geologically young basin consists of 36 native species, but introductions of non-native fishes have added 33 additional species for a total of 69 fish species. During...
