Despite the long history of water research, understanding drinking water microbiome continuum spanning from source water, treatment in the production process, distribution network, and up to the point where water enters a ...

Effective water resources management typically relies on numerical models to analyze groundwater flow and solute transport processes. Since the important hydrogeological parameters of these models (e.g., hydraulic conductivity) ...

Water shortages and flooding have caused large property losses and endangered human lives in many areas. Rapid and informed response is needed to ensure effective water management, including reliable and immediate data ...

This dissertation presents a new paradigm for addressing multi-physics problems with interfaces in the field of Additive Manufacturing and the modeling of fibrous composite materials. The unique process of adding the ...

This study demonstrated that non-biologically active GAC filtration cannot provide sustained bromate removal whereas BAC filtration can provide sustained removal under a wide variety of water quality conditions.

This thesis deals with certain iterative methods of solving finite difference equations arising from elliptic type boundary-value problems. A procedure that accelerates the convergence of explicit) linear iterative methods ...

Ten CRCP sections were built at the ATREL full-scale testing facility, with five sections being tested under accelerated traffic loading conditions and five sections evaluated for induced transverse cracks. The opening and ...

The connections between streams and aquifers can be spatially variable and uncertain due to heterogeneity in geology and topography. During drought seasons, farming activities may induce critical peak pumping rates to ...

Low temperature cracking in asphalt pavements located in cold climates is a major cause of pavement deterioration. Accurate evaluation of low temperature cracking behavior of asphalt materials is necessary in order to ...

The performance of the LQG- and H2-based controllers was less than satisfactory, in the sense that the performance was not as good for the evaluation model as it was for the design model. The controller designed with ...
