Bioretention is a best management practice (BMP). In this research, pot prototypes filled with bioretention media were built to simulate the conditions of natural growth of three grasses: Panicum virgatum, Kentucky-31 and Bromus ciliatus. Synthetic runoff was applied… Contents CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
This thesis has two theoretical parts and one part for results. The first part is a strict one. In the first part exact parametric differential equations of plane section rotations for beams are derived. Those differential equations show that using parametric sine
This thesis examines the relationship between land use and pedestrian-vehicle crashes. Analysis focuses on how the pedestrian crashes vary by personal characteristics (age, sex, condition, and severity of injury) and physical characteristics of the crash area (location type, population density, land use,
Relations are estimated among enroute air traffic, controller staffing and performance of controllers and ATC system. Controller staffing is found to increase at least linearly with air traffic in the US National Airspace System. Findings in literature review, FAA controller staffing models,
An analysis of the results of a regional survey and a comparison of three commonly used programs, SureTrak, Primavera Contractor, and Microsoft (MS) Project, was undertaken. Selected because of their comparable cost structure and their wide acceptance in the industry, these three
The events of September 11th showed the combined effects of fire and structural loading on a high-rise building can be disastrous. Understanding the mechanism of structural damage caused by fire will help engineers design safer infrastructures by providing adequate resistance to failure.
More and more travellers use navigation-aid software to find the way while driving. Most of todays systems use static maps with little or no information at all about currently yeilding roads conditions and disturbances in the network. It is desirable for such
This research project is designed to enhance the planning process that can aid authorities moving towards sustainable and economically feasible local and regional mobility systems. The improvements that have been made to transit so far have not been successful in breaking the
Due to growing awareness of non-point source pollution treatment, the performance of grass swales as a highway runoff treatment and the effect of including a grass filter strip pretreatment area adjacent to the swale were evaluated using a field-scale input/output study on
Guessability, learnability, experienced user performance (EUP), re-usability, and system potential are the five components that would influence the usability of a product. Usability assessments of many different types of consumer products, word processor, public library’s web site, online learning programs, and election
