Spatial Distribution and Mass Transport of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Surface Water Systems
(2022-12-05)
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of nearly 5,000 anthropogenic organic substances produced since the late 1940s. These substances have been used in various consumer products and industrial applications ...
Spatial Ecology of Male White-Tailed Deer in the Crosstimbers and Prairies Ecoregion
(2008-08-15)
We examined daily movement paths of radio-collared male white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) during the breeding season (Oct. 1st- Dec. 15th), from 1995-1997, at the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant (McAAP) in ...
Spatial ecology of the eastern diamond-backed rattlesnake (Crotalus adamanteus)
(2007-08-15)
An animal’s spatial ecology may be governed by variables operating at more than one spatial scale, which underscores the importance of incorporating multiple spatial scales into habitat selection models. This is particularly ...
A Spatial Econometric Analysis of the Effects of Subsidized Housing and Urban Sprawl on Property Values
(2011-05-04)
Property owners often resist the idea of siting public or subsidized housing in their neighborhood. The notion that subsidized housing exerts a negative externality effect on adjacent properties has been investigated ...
Spatial Intelligence - Route Prediction and Planning Base on Geospatial Information
(2022-05-10)
With the advances in localization techniques and popularity of mobile devices, Spatial Intelligence penetrated people's lives. What is Spatial Intelligence? It is 1) able to provide “smart” and intelligent services to ...
Spatial Relationships of Suspended Solids and Phosphorus in Bioretention Cells
(2017-11-17)
Bioretention cells (BRCs) are a stormwater practice designed to infiltrate, store, and treat stormwater. These cells help to mitigate stormwater flow volume, flow rate, and remove nutrients. Suspended sediments that are ...
Spatial Spread and Front Propagation Dynamics of Nonlocal Monostable Equations in Periodic Habitats
(2011-07-25)
This dissertation is concerned with spatial spread and front propagation dynamics of
monostable equations with nonlocal dispersal in spatially periodic habitats. Such equations
arise in modeling the population dynamics ...
Spatial Spread Dynamics of Monostable Equations in Spatially Locally Inhomogeneous Media with Temporal Periodicity
(2013-05-31)
This dissertation is devoted to the study of semilinear dispersal evolution equations.
These type of equations are called as Monostable or KPP type equations, which arise
in modeling the population dynamics of many ...
Spatial-Temporal Analysis of Heavy Metal Water Pollution and the Impact on Public Health in China
(2015-05-18)
Water is the source of life. China’s water pollution has become a burning research field because of the severely polluted conditions. 60 percent of the country's rivers were not potable according to the State Environmental ...
Spatially Integrating Stakeholder Preferences for Wildlife Conservation and Ecosystem Services with Expert Opinions Using Public Participation Geographic Information Systems
(2013-04-09)
Due to changing trends in natural resource management, there is an increasing need to incorporate stakeholder opinions and preferences into the decision making process. Since much natural resource data is stored spatially ...
Spatiotemporal Analysis of Ecosystem Degradation in a Gulf of Mexico Estuary System
(2019-05-14)
Coastal estuaries are a vital resource that provide many environmental and socioeconomic benefits. Despite their value, increased anthropogenic influence has resulted in ecosystem degradation due to eutrophication in coastal ...
Spatiotemporal Breeding Strategies within a High Density, Male-skewed White-tailed Deer Population
(2014-05-12)
Animal movement is an integral part of most ecological, behavioral, or evolutionary processes observed in nature, and it has wide implications to numerous broad issues ranging from dispersal and migration to habitat ...
Spatiotemporal Impacts of Invasive Species Removal and Reinvasion
(2020-08-14)
Invasive species are a major driver of native species declines and reduce ecosystem function. Though eradication of invasive species is often beneficial, it can create other ecological issues and if not implemented correctly, ...
The Spatiotemporal Variation of Sediment Characteristics and Nutrient Deposition in Two Coosa River Reservoirs
(2021-05-18)
Reservoirs create biogeochemical hotspots along river systems by trapping sediments and nutrients from their river watersheds. This study aims to understand sediment transport and nutrient deposition through time and space ...
Spawning and Early Ecology of Riverine Shoal Bass and Largemouth Bass
(2024-04-29)
Understanding fish movements and early life-history requirements is important for managing populations because they reflect changing resource needs across the life cycle. Riverine black basses (genus Micropterus) hold ...
Speaking Silences: Lyric Poetry in the Narrative Strategies of Mary Wroth, Margaret Cavendish, and Jane Barker
(2015-03-20)
This dissertation is an exploration of how Mary Wroth, Margaret Cavendish, and Jane Barker co-opted Philip Sidney’s prose romance interpolated with poems, The Countess of Pembroke’s Arcadia. I explore how each writer uses ...
