Effects Of Discharge In Residence Time Distributions In A Small Headwaters Wetland In The Ipswich River Watershed, Katherine D. Lawrence Jan 2014

Effects Of Discharge In Residence Time Distributions In A Small Headwaters Wetland In The Ipswich River Watershed, Katherine D. Lawrence

Master's Theses and Capstones

The Ipswich River Watershed, a 401 km2 watershed located in northeastern Massachusetts, has been observed to be undergoing increasing urbanization with resulting increases in nutrient loading, in particular, nitrogen. Nitrogen uptake occurs in a 1st-order process which is dependent on the concentration of nitrogen as well as the amount of time the water containing nitrogen remains within the wetland, which is described as the residence time distribution (RTD). To better understand how discharge affects the RTD of the wetland, a number of tracer studies were conducted between May 2011 and August 2011. Additionally, fluxes into and out of the wetland …


Winter Survival Strategies Of Benthic Invertebrates In Temporary Habitats In A Northern Minnesota Lake, Cal Oldenburg Jan 2014

Winter Survival Strategies Of Benthic Invertebrates In Temporary Habitats In A Northern Minnesota Lake, Cal Oldenburg

Journal of Earth and Life Science

During the winter months in the northern hemisphere, above 40 degrees latitude, a freezing event occurs that can last several months. Some lakes may have large portions of the shallow littoral zone frozen completely solid down into the sediments. Invertebrates affected by these events have developed survival strategies to cope with the harsh environment. The two main strategies for invertebrates in these areas are to either migrate to a different area and recolonize the original area when it becomes available again, or to burrow into the sediments and withstand the freezing. A 1- month study took place on Lake Bemidji …

“Chapter 8: Coastal Effects” In Fourth National Climate Assessment, U.S. Global Change Research Program Jan 2014

“Chapter 8: Coastal Effects” In Fourth National Climate Assessment, U.S. Global Change Research Program

State & Federal Reports and Publications

The Coasts chapter of the Third National Climate Assessment, published in 2014, focused on coastal lifelines at risk, economic disruption, uneven social vulnerability, and vulnerable ecosystems. This Coastal Effects chapter of the Fourth National Climate Assessment updates those themes, with a focus on integrating the socioeconomic and environmental impacts and consequences of a changing climate. Specifically, the chapter builds on the threat of rising sea levels exacerbating tidal and storm surge flooding, the state of coastal ecosystems, and the treatment of social vulnerability by introducing the implications for social equity.


Concept Design Of A Labview-Mysql Data Warehouse For Digital Recording Of Ecg-Emg, Kristine R. Suratos, Rosula Sj Reyes Jan 2014

Concept Design Of A Labview-Mysql Data Warehouse For Digital Recording Of Ecg-Emg, Kristine R. Suratos, Rosula Sj Reyes

Electronics, Computer, and Communications Engineering Faculty Publications

To align with the recommendations set forth by the World Health Organization regarding eHealth, this study aims to develop a concept design of a suitable data warehouse for healthcare using electronic medical recording of ECG-EMG. This concept design once implemented aims to assist health care providers in improving patient’s healthcare data management. The system consists of three main layer: data source layer; software application layer; and data service database layer. The data source layer consists of patient profile, patient consultation, and patient test. Patient test was conducted using Olimex ECG-EMG shield and NI myDAQ module. The software application layer, developed …

Management Processes For Agility, Speed, And Innovation, Stuart Winby, Christopher G. Worley Jan 2014

Management Processes For Agility, Speed, And Innovation, Stuart Winby, Christopher G. Worley

All Faculty Open Access Publications

The new business environment favors innovation and agility: companies that not only execute novel ideas once but do so repeatedly. The ability to generate novel ideas, develop viable products, services, or processes, and drive new value for the corporation is required to sustain organization effectiveness. More broadly, the ability to make timely, effective, and sustained organization change is necessary to thrive in increasingly complex environments. Based on collaborative research and practice through the Center for Effective Organizations, this paper describes the design of agile organizations and a management process that can support continuous innovation with speed and quality. Two case …
