Characterization of Marine Mammal Biomechanics to Evaluate Tidal Turbine Collision Impact
Tidal energy has an immense potential for creating renewable energy from the ocean's moving tides and is under investigation worldwide. In this emerging field, potential environmental consequences of installing tidal ... -
Characterization of Performance Predictors and Evaluation of Mowing Practices in Biofiltration Swales
(2000)General site maintenance is important for keeping a well functioning swale; however, it is not always easy to determine how well a site is currently functioning. Swale performance can be evaluated by measuring its hydraulic ... -
Characterizing Lowland Streams: Riparian and Watershed Influences on Urban and Non-Urban Channels
(University of Washington, 2003)This thesis presents a suite of studies focused on the channel network of the Chico Creek watershed, a resource-rich stream system on the Kitsap Peninsula in western Washington State. This analysis included characterization ... -
Characterizing the urban freight system and the supporting infrastructure network
The urban freight system is essential to today's economy and cities' livability. In the last decade, densification, the growth of e-commerce, and the changing mobility ecosystem have amplified commercial vehicles' challenges ... -
Characterizing Water Quality of Urban Stormwater Runoff: Interactions of Heavy Metals and Solids in Seattle Residential Catchments
(University of Washington, 2004)Stormwater quality and quantity were investigated in urbanized catchments in the Pipers Creek watershed in North Seattle in order to characterize existing rates and processes of stormwater runoff in areas of moderate-density ... -
Combining Indirect Observations and Models to Resolve Spatiotemporal Patterns of Precipitation in Complex Terrain
Mountain precipitation in the Western United States is critical for the water resources of the region, but resolving spatial and temporal patterns of precipitation in complex terrain is challenging due to lack of observations, ... -
Combining multiple observations to improve our understanding of forest-snow interactions and inform forest management
Many regions of the world rely on snowmelt from seasonal snowpacks for water resources. In the Northern Hemisphere, half of the seasonal snow zone overlaps with forests which interact with both snowfall and snow on the ... -
Combining PAC and HAOPs with Microgranular Adsorptive Filtration to Enhance Water Treatment
Immense effort has been made over the past few decades to address the challenge of sustainable drinking water production. As a result of this endeavor, low- and high-pressure membrane filtration have been developed as a ... -
COMMUTING SERVICE PLATFORM: CONCEPT, METHOD, AND ANALYSIS
Commuting congestion increases alongside the prosperity of urban cities. With the rapid development of ridesourcing services and the advances of connected and automated vehicles (CAV), researchers are seeking innovative ... -
Comparison of Effects of Bromination and Iodination on the Spectroscopic Properties of Natural Organic Matter
(2013-07-25)Toxicological studies of disinfection by-products (DBPs) suggest that brominated and iodinated DBPs may be more carcinogenic than their chlorinated analogues. This makes it important to examine the pathways of formation ... -
Comparison of Physicochemical Methods to Remove Arsenic from Landfill Leachate and Gas Condensate
Arsenic is an important contaminant widely found in municipal solid waste (MSW). It has been accumulating in landfills and its concentrations in the landfill leachate have been observed to increase in several sites, notably ... -
A computational framework for dynamic soil-structure interaction analysis
(1996)This dissertation presents: (i) a simple but general soil model; and (ii) a general computational framework, enabling the development of efficient interactive software for the analysis of dynamic soil-structure interaction ... -
A Computational Framework for Next-Generation Inspection Imaging
(2013-07-25)Civil inspection images are notoriously difficult to interpret for those who were not present during an inspection, and so they have historically had limited value in ongoing condition monitoring applications. Within the ... -
Constrained Positive Matrix Factorization: Elemental Ratios, Spatial Distinction, and Chemical Transport Model Source Contributions
(2014-04-30)Source apportionment models attempt to untangle the relationship between pollution sources and the impacts at downwind receptors. Two frameworks of source apportionment models exist: source-oriented and receptor-oriented. ... -
Consuming Pavement Engineering Research through Software: An Empirical Investigation of Software Value in Transportation Agency Practices
State transportation agencies have an established interest in funding pavement research that inform design and construction best practices. Seldom however does research result in development efforts that mobilize their ... -
Contractors’ Perspectives on Airfield and Highway Hot Mix Asphalt Pavement Projects
Asphalt pavement covers most highways and airfields in the United States. While paving primarily occurs on highways, airfield projects carry greater risks for contractors and involve different management styles, construction ... -
Controlling Colloidal Silica Grouts Using Microbial Fermentation Activity
Colloidal silica grouts have long been recognized as an environmentally-conscious ground improvement solution capable of stabilizing weak, problematic soils and achieving large reductions in soil hydraulic conductivities ... -
Correlating Sludge Constituents with Digester Foaming Risk Using Sludge Foam Potential and Rheology
Foam potential and viscometer ramp tests (VRTs) were conducted for three municipal wastewater treatment plants to determine if these methods can relate mechanisms of foaming to physical and biological constituents in sludge. ... -
Cross-parameter influences of pH and heat for biosolids stabilization
Biosolids stabilized by lime addition have high material costs and high transportation costs, and excessive ammonia volatilization. Decreasing the amount of lime added while still achieving stabilization would allow for ... -
Customizing Trustworthy Machine Learning and Advanced Computing Methods for Cooperative and Equitable Traffic Systems
Urbanization offers opportunities for better lives and amenities globally, yet it brings considerable challenges. The combination of the network congestions, the inequity complaints, the unbalanced supply and demand of ...
