This study is the first stage of the larger project for determining the transport mechanism of endocrine disruptors that flow through the Perdido Bay Basin. Given within are the methods and processes used to perform watershed ...

Modeling of Warm Dense Plasmas for the Determination of Transport Properties and Equation of State 

Gill, Nathanael (2020-05-14)
We present the results of research studying the properties of dense plasmas using the average atom model. The average atom model is a physically reasonable statistical representation of an atom in a plasma, and various ...

Modeling Service Performance and Dynamic Worker Allocation Policies for Order Fulfillment Systems 

Kim, Hyun Ho (2009-11-10)
In this dissertation, we propose several dynamic worker allocation policies based on the sojourn time distribution in due-date order fulfillment systems. To establish a sojourn-based policy, we must be able to compute ...

Modeling Simulation and Preliminary Experimentation on Towed Tether System 

Kolla, Pradeep (2007-12-15)
Aero-dynamic drag forces and their effect on the path taken by a cable in a towed system are studied with the aid of an advanced computational software packages. A piece of rope (tether) is towed at the top end in a ...

Modeling Soil Moisture Dynamics in Wetlands 

He, Junhao (2021-07-19)
Soil moisture distribution and fluxes are among the fundamental components of the hydrological cycle. One-dimensional Richard’s Equation (hereafter RE) is often used to represent the physics of water moisture distribution ...

Modeling the Effects of Intelligent Driver Assistance on Driver Behaviors 

Deo, Ganesh (2010-06-01)
Many studies have concluded that activities like answering a cell phone call and entering an address while driving could potentially distract the driver. This thesis presents the design and experimental evaluation by ...

Modeling the Effects of Projected Sea Level Rise on Water Quality in Coastal Bangladesh 

Shuman, Morgan (2015-05-04)
Climate models show that Bangladesh will experience high rates of change in temperature, precipitation, runoff, and local sea level rise rates by 2100. Sea level rise will result in the degradation of groundwater quality ...

Modeling the Relation of Bank Governance and Risk Management 

Oprandy, Frank (2024-05-09)
The Great Recession (2008-2010) highlighted the complexity of risk management and the global impact of accumulated risk. The complexity of risk management in bank holding companies (BHC, or banks) often results in a lack ...

Modeling the Risk of Wrong-Way Driving at Freeway Exit Ramp Terminals 

Atiquzzaman, Md (2019-07-23)
Wrong-way driving (WWD) crashes are a critical safety issue on freeways. Although these crashes are rare in nature, they often result in severe injuries and/or fatalities. Typically, exit ramp terminals are the initial ...

Modeling Water Quality Impacts of Off-Road Vehicles in Forested Watersheds 

Brodbeck, Christian (2005-08-15)
Erosion from off-road vehicles can cause negative effects on water quality by impairing fish habitat and shortening reservoir life. Due to an increasing level of off-road vehicle use throughout the country, this impact ...

Modeling, Analysis, and Validation of Temperature Dependent Vibration Induced Fretting Corrosion 

Ibrahim, Rebecca (2010-04-27)
Connector reliability is an extremely important factor in electronic packaging, especially with regard to vehicle electronics. Two of the major drivers for fretting corrosion are vibration and thermal cycling. Most previous ...
