In wound irrigation, the surface pressure at the wound is critical. Correct pressure ensures removal of bacteria and foreign debris without further tissue damage. Surface[...]

As metropolitan areas around the world grow, conservationists are managing more habitats adjacent to or within urban areas. Increased impervious surfaces and more abundan[...]

The proposed work aims to design and develop a novel direct drive parallel stream counter-rotating Darrieus turbine system capable of producing power at low velocities (l[...]

The quality and quantity of water in degraded watersheds (i.e.: watersheds undergoing changing land-use, urbanization, agricultural use) may be impaired compared to undis[...]

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 t[...]

The purpose of this dissertation research was to assess the change in hydrological and watershed processes influencing water quality in a rapidly urbanizing SE Piedmont w[...]

Stream restoration can lead to improved habitat quality, increased macroinvertebrate abundance and diversity, and reduced concentrations of nutrients and contaminants. Ma[...]

Researchers have placed emphasis on quantifying and identifying ecological thresholds to study biological responses to urbanization. As watersheds become urbanized, they [...]

Agricultural streams are subject to considerable disturbance including channelization, erosion, and sedimentation. Fertilizer is often applied to agricultural fields in e[...]

Urban streams are characterized by altered hydrographs, increased nutrient concentrations, altered geomorphology, and decreased biodiversity. This study asked how the hy[...]
