For this study, eight genetic types of channel catfish (Ictarulus punctatus) female x blue catfish (I. furcatus) male hybrids were reared in three environments: a low density pond, a high density pond and an in-pond raceway ...
Genuine Sequential Estimation Procedures for Gamma Populations using Exact Evaluation Criteria
(2009-12-09)
In this dissertation, we develop genuine two-stage sequential procedures for bounded-risk and fixed-width confidence interval estimation for Gamma distributed populations, based on exact evaluation criteria. The term ...
A Geochemical and Hydrological Assessment of Oil and Related Compounds from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in Gulf Coastal Saltmarshes
(2013-08-02)
In April of 2010, the Macondo-1 wellhead ruptured in the Gulf of Mexico, releasing an estimated 4.9 million barrels of crude oil. Ten saltmarsh sites along the northern Gulf coast were investigated to determine the fate, ...
Geochemical Characterization of Groundwater and Mineralogical Assessment in Hatiya Island, Southeastern Coastal Region of Bangladesh
(2023-05-05)
Groundwater is a vital source of fresh water for drinking and agricultural purposes in the region of Hatiya Island, Bangladesh, yet is subject to contamination by natural and anthropogenic activities. To address this issue, ...
Geochemical Modeling Study of Shale–Brine–CO2 Interaction
(2021-05-04)
A promising large-scale mitigation option for reducing CO2 footprint is Geological Carbon Sequestration (GCS) in depleted oil and gas reservoirs and deep saline aquifers. This study investigated the interaction between CO2 ...
Geochemical Studies of the Battleship Rock Ignimbrite, Valles Caldera, New Mexico
(2023-08-07)
Valles Caldera is the third largest active super volcano in the United States. Despite this, it remains a poorly understood volcanic system. Evidence has been presented within the last 5 years that suggests that Valles ...
Geochemistry and Mineralogy of Contaminant Groundwater and Sediments from Coastal Aquifers of Southwest Bangladesh
(2023-08-07)
The groundwater in the coastal aquifers of Bangladesh contains high levels of salt concentration and naturally occurring arsenic (As), which may affect human health. Especially in the southwest coastal region of the country, ...
Geochemistry and Mineralogy of Eastern Ag-Rich Epithermal Veins in the Midas District, Nevada, USA
(2012-04-09)
Five Ag-rich epithermal veins were recently discovered in the eastern section of the Midas district in northern Nevada. Initial data collected indicated that these veins had a significantly higher quantity of silver relative ...
Geochemistry of Groundwater and Naturally Occurring Pyrite in the Holocene Fluvial Aquifers in Uphapee Watershed, Macon County, Alabama
(2019-08-09)
Naturally occurring biogenic pyrite has been found in Holocene fluvial aquifers in Uphapee watershed, Macon County, Alabama. The electron microprobe (EMP) analysis showed that the pyrite grains contain 0.20-0.92 weight% ...
Geochronology and Geochemistry of Mid-Miocene Bonanza Low-Sulfidation Epithermal Ores of the Northern Great Basin, USA
(2008-05-15)
New high precision 40Ar/39Ar geochronology
conducted on previously undated deposits (or deposits with older, less precise K/Ar dates only), indicates that low-sulfidation epithermal Au-Ag mineralization in the northern ...
Geochronology and structural geology of the Kjerringøy Peninsula, Nordland, Norway
(2014-10-30)
Field mapping, structural and petrographic analysis, ID-TIMS U-Pb geochronology, 40Ar/39Ar thermochronology, and chemical dating of minerals were employed to decipher the geologic history of the Salten area of north-central ...
A Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Approach for Estimating Runoff Characteristics for Erosion and Sediment Control Practices in the Southeastern United States
(2015-07-30)
Soil discharged from construction sites to nearby waterbodies have a negative impact on water quality and the aquatic ecosystem. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) in ...
Geographic Variation in the Yellow-throated Warbler (Dendroica dominica)
(2007-12-15)
I examined how variation within the yellow-throated warbler (Dendroica dominica) relates to geography. The yellow-throated warbler is a common neotropical migrant with a breeding range confined to the southeastern United ...
