A Helicopter Observation Platform for Atmospheric Boundary Layer Studies
(2009)Spatial variability of the Earth's surface has a considerable impact on the atmosphere at all scales and understanding the mechanisms involved in land-atmosphere interactions is hindered by the scarcity of appropriate ... -
Adsorption of Pharmaceutically Active Compounds (PhACs) by Powdered Activated Carbon from Natural Water --Influence of Natural Organic Matter (NOM)
(2010)Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) adsorption was studied in order to determine the influence of natural organic matter (NOM) on the adsorption of two acidic pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs), clofibric acid and ketoprofen. ... -
Coherent Structures in Land-Atmosphere Interaction
(2010)Large-scale coherent structures are systematically investigated in terms of their geometric attributes, importance toward describing turbulent exchange of energy, momentum and mass as well as their relationship to landscape ... -
Fundamental Mechanisms in the Extreme UV Resistance of Adenovirus
(2009)The adenoviruses are nonenveloped double stranded DNA viruses, which cause enteric dysentary and respiratory infection. Adenovirus has become a focus of the water treatment community because of its apparent resistance to ... -
Innovative Treatment Technologies for Reclaimed Water
(2009)In order to meet disinfection guidelines, wastewater utilities must achieve a high level of treatment before discharging treated water for irrigation or industrial use. However, public pressure to reduce disinfection by-products ... -
Microbial Impacts of Selected Pharmaceutically Active Compounds Found in Domestic Wastewater Treatment Plants
(2009)Large amounts of human pharmaceutical products are consumed worldwide. Many drugs and their metabolites, referred to as pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs), are not fully metabolized prior to household discharge resulting ... -
Synthesis and characterization of novel proton-conductive composite membranes derived from the hybridization of metal oxyhydroxide nanoparticles and organic polymers for fuel cell applications
(2010)A fuel cell is a device that converts chemical energy directly to electricity. Fuel cells have high energy conversion efficiencies with potentially less release of environmental pollutants. Therefore, they are regarded as ... -
Water Quality Models for Shellfish Harvesting Area Management
(2008-08-19)This doctoral dissertation presents the derivation and application of a series of water quality models and modeling strategies which provide critical guidance to water quality-based management decisions. Each model focuses ...
