Uas-Based Detection And Quantification Of Pavement Roughness And Vertical Deviations Due To Frost Heave, Farah Zaremotekhases

Doctoral Dissertations

This research leverages Unpiloted Aerial Systems (UAS) equipped with advanced sensing technologies—optical imaging and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR)—to accurately detect and measure pavement frost heaves, which cause significant structural damage and surface roughness, particularly in cold climate regions. The use of UAS platforms is driven by the need to provide measurements over large areas and to offer high-precision, accessible, and efficient data collection methods capable of operating in challenging and difficult-to-access regions. Furthermore, UAS technology enhances safety and saves time and labor, enabling quicker, and safer assessments with minimal disruption. Experiments were conducted on both simulated and actual pavements …

A Mean-Field Modeling Framework Incorporating Intragranular Orientation Spreads To Improve Modeling Of Deformation Twinning, Recrystallization And Geometrically Necessary Dislocations, Iftekhar Alam Riyad

Doctoral Dissertations

Metallic components go through a complex sequence of deformation processes during manufacturing. The purpose of a structural component dictates the use of specific metallic material with a given set of mechanical properties. In order to predict material behavior and microstructural evolution during deformation on a computer rather than in a workshop, computationally efficient models have been developed over the past several decades. Mean-field plasticity models like viscoplastic self-consistent (VPSC) and elastoplastic self-consistent (EVPSC) models are popular for their efficiency in terms of computational time compared to full-field models but lack in accuracy due to the consideration of only mean field …

Observing And Estimating Soil Freeze Thaw Processes: From Remote Sensing To Land Surface Modeling, Mahsa Moradikhaneghahi

Doctoral Dissertations

Freezing conditions affect more than half of the exposed land in the Northern Hemisphere in cold seasons, where transitions between frozen and thawed states impact surface and subsurface water and energy budget. Recognized as an Essential Climate Variable (ECV), accurate, reliable and efficient estimates of soil freeze/thaw (FT) processes with a moderate spatiotemporal resolution are needed to fully resolve highly-dynamic processes taking place at the land-atmosphere interface. Active microwave remote sensing and land surface modeling are promising tools for advancing the monitoring of FT as an ECV. My dissertation addresses key scientific gaps in estimating soil FT conditions using active …

Natural Laboratories Of The Deep Sea: Linking Community Composition And Environmental Variables On Low-Temperature Venting Outcrops Of Ridge Flank Hydrothermal Systems To Explore Potential Impacts Of Climate Change, Inform Habitat Suitability Models, And To Understand The Impacts Of High Bathymetric Resolution On Seafloor Characterization, Anne Marie Hartwell

Doctoral Dissertations

The deep sea covers over two-thirds of the globe and represents 95% of the ocean. Most life on Earth is suspected to live on or near the seabed. Yet, these ecosystems are the least known on Earth and are important to explore as they are home to a diverse array of species that are currently under threat because of multiple anthropogenic pressures, including warming oceans. Exploration of these systems is critical to further the understanding of species interactions, biodiversity and their overall relationship to environmental and terrain variables. Many of these variables are used in species distribution models and technological …

Three Essays On The Economics Of Sustainable Consumer Choices, Muhammad Jawad Khan

Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation examines consumer preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) within key sustainability contexts, focusing on the remediation of forever chemicals (PFAS) in municipal water systems, forest diversification for climate-resilient maple syrup production, and reduced ecological footprints in farming. The first chapter highlights factors influencing public support for a municipal water filtration system. A contingent valuation survey was conducted in September 2021 among the New England households to estimate their WTP for PFAS filtration in municipal drinking water systems. Health factors are primary: those concerned about water quality show a higher WTP. Income, water expenditures, and filtration status at home …

Rational Design Of Polymers For Specific Interactions With Liquid And Solid-State Water, Nick Mitchell

Doctoral Dissertations

Many plants and animals that live in arctic regions possess biological cryoprotecting agents (CPAs) known as antifreeze proteins (AFPs) which protect them against cryoinjury in their native subfreezing environment. AFPs and their synthetic biomimetics have received increasing attention as potential candidates for various industrial and bio-medical applications. Despite the interest in developing synthetic, macromolecular CPAs; a full understanding of the antifreeze process induced by these remains elusive. To explore this, we have synthesized a series of water- soluble polyol-based polymers with systematic variation of their chain architectures.While AFPs are well-known for their ice nucleation and recrystallization inhibition activity along with …

The Impact Of Multidisciplinary Just-In-Time Training On Confidence In The Delivery Of Care In The Humanitarian And Disaster Response Environment, Jennifer Verstreken

DNP Scholarly Projects

Background: Team Rubicon International deploys emergency medical teams with little targeted training on the health and illness patterns common to the geographic region and the type of disasters to which they respond, such as cholera, malaria, and malnutrition. These high-risk, low-incidence illnesses are infrequently seen in Western medical practices. Medical, nursing, and paramedical training programs address these illness patterns in the curriculum. Still, a lack of consistent exposure to the care and treatment of patients with these illnesses can lead to a lack of knowledge and confidence in delivering appropriate care.

Purpose: This quality improvement project aimed to determine if …

Occurrence And Fate Of Per- And Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (Pfas) In Atmospheric Deposition, Surface Waters, And Sediments Discharging To The Great Bay Estuary, New Hampshire, Katherine Alexina Wieck

Master's Theses and Capstones

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of several thousand synthetic organic compounds commonly utilized in the manufacturing of consumer products and in industrial processes since their initial development in the 1940s. Although the widespread presence of PFAS in environmental matrices derives from many different industrial and domestic sources, recent studies characterizing their fate in aqueous systems have primarily focused on point source discharge, such as those from wastewater treatment facilities, airports, and industrial complexes. Focusing on point sources neglects atmospheric deposition, an important diffuse background source of PFAS into surface waters and sediments. Furthermore, atmospheric deposition is likely …
