Title: REGIONAL ANALYSIS OF RENEWABLE TRANSPORTATION FUELS – PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION
Author: Liu, Xiaoshuai
Date Created: 2016
Subjects--Topical: Power resources, Environmental economics, Human ecology--Study and teaching
Description: The transportation sector contributes more than a quarter of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Replacing fossil fuels with renewable fuels can be a key solution to mitigate GHG emissions from the transportation sector. Particularly, we have foc...

Title: An Examination of the Impact of Urbanization on Stream Biodiversity and Ecosystem Function
Author: ROUX, ANTHONY
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Ecology, Human ecology--Study and teaching, Entomology
Description: The "Urban Stream Syndrome" is a term that refers to a group of predictable negative impacts to stream ecosystems due to the alteration of the natural hydrologic regime that is associated with urbanization. These negative impacts include increases...

Title: MICRO- TO MACROSCALE MODELING OF DRINKING WATER TREATMENT AND DISTRIBUTION
Author: Polaczyk, Amy
Date Created: 2010
Subjects--Topical: Environmental engineering, Environmental sciences
Description: Models are valuable tools that can provide quantitative insight into a process or system, but must to be kept simple to remain meaningful. In this dissertation, three separate drinking water research projects were completed using numerical modelin...

Title: Mechanical and Physical Characterization of Recycled PET Bales for Use as Lightweight Fill Material
Author: Garbini, Jacob
Date Created: 2016
Subjects--Topical: Civil engineering
Description: Waste generation rates are increasing so there is a need to determine alternative methods of dealing with waste to accommodate a sustainable future. Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) plastic represents a large portion of the domestic waste generate...

Title: Electrochemical Mineralization of Per- And Polyfluoroalkyl Substances
Author: Pulikkal, Vivek
Date Created: 2021
Subjects--Topical: Environmental engineering
Description: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are fluorinated organic compounds with broad applications in aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF) for firefighting, lubricants, waterproof and stain-resistant products. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a toxic...

Title: EVALUATION OF PLANTS ON WATER BALANCE OF EARTHEN LANDFILL COVERS
Author: Saghaei, Banafsheh
Date Created: 2019
Subjects--Topical: Geotechnical engineering, Hydrology, Environmental geology
Description: Landfilling is one of the most common methods to dispose municipal solid waste (MSW) and coal combustion residues (CCRs) in the U.S. Sustainable landfilling will be the key for the future advancement of solid waste management. Sustainable landfill...

Title: Removal of Cryptosporidium-Sized Microspheres from Swimming Pool Water with Regenerative Media Filters
Author: Lamb, Graham
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Environmental engineering
Description: Cryptosporidium is a chlorine-resistant protozoan parasite that infects an estimated 823,000 Americans annually. The most common mode of transmission for Cryptosporidium is ingesting contaminated recreational water from treated (chlorinated) aquat...

Title: A Quantitative Analysis of Swimming Pool Recirculation System Efficiency in Returning Water to the Treatment System
Author: Madding, Nathan
Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Environmental engineering
Description: While chemical reactors have been studied extensively, little work had been done in understanding the recirculation system efficiency of swimming pools. It was proposed by Gage and Bidwell (1926) that recirculation in swimming pools was described ...

Title: NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION ON THE RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF PARAMETERS INFLUENCING THE AIR-WATER INTERFACE OF A STABLE HYDRAULIC JUMP
Author: Willats, Ethan
Date Created: 2019
Subjects--Topical: Hydraulic engineering
Description: Simulations were undertaken with a commercial Finite Volume ComputationalFluid Mechanics code, Star-CCM+, in order to predict macroscopic and internalflow features of a steady hydraulic jump at a Froude number Fr =5.8. This workwas carried out usi...

Title: Shape Factor Analysis of Granular Filter Media and Its Effects on Settling Velocity and Stratification Post-Backwash
Author: Matthy, Lindsay
Date Created: 2016
Subjects--Topical: Civil engineering
Description: Research on irregularly-shaped granular filter media has been sparse. Previousstudies attempted to identify a common shape factor and incorporate it into settlingvelocity models for spherical media. This common shape factor was frequently calledsp...

Title: Synthesis of Layered Double Hydroxides to Sequester Halides from Flue Gas Desulfurization Wastewater Concentrate
Author: Manikonda, Abhisek
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Civil engineering, Environmental engineering
Description: An emerging strategy for the management of flue gas desulfurization wastewater involves volume reduction of the wastewater by concentrating to brine and then mixing the brine with fly ash and other chemical additives to form a paste suitable for l...

Title: THE UTILIZATION OF GRANULAR MEDIA FILTRATION AND RAPID FLOCCULATION IN A MODIFIED JAR TEST PROCEDURE FOR DRINKING WATER TREATMENT
Author: KING, CHARLES
Date Created: 2017
