Webinar: State-Wide Pedestrian And Bicycle Miles Traveled: Can We Estimate It?, Krista Nordback Dec 2016

Webinar: State-Wide Pedestrian And Bicycle Miles Traveled: Can We Estimate It?, Krista Nordback

TREC Webinar Series

Heard of Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT)? Wouldn’t it be great to know the corresponding value for walking and cycling?

This webinar discusses options for estimating the miles people walk and bicycle on the state-wide level, by investigating the practical considerations of trying to compute these values for one study state.

What strategies can be used, and what data sources do these require?

How do these strategies compare?

How do PMT/BMT estimates vary based on data?

Find out what researchers found and what obstacles they encountered when they tried to estimate bicycle and pedestrian miles traveled in the State of Washington.

Peatlands contain one-third of soil carbon (C), mostly buried in deep, saturated anoxic zones (catotelm). The response of catotelm C to climate forcing is uncertain, because prior experiments have focused on surface warming. We show that deep peat heating of a 2 m-thick peat column results in an exponential increase in CH4 emissions. However, this response is due solely to surface processes and not degradation of catotelm peat. Incubations show that only the top 20–30 cm of peat from experimental plots have higher CH4 production rates at elevated temperatures. Radiocarbon analyses demonstrate that CH4 and CO2 are produced primarily from …


Formulation Of Colloidal Suspensions Of 3-Mercaptopropionic Acid Capped Pbs Quantum Dots As Solution Processable Qd "Inks" For Optoelectronic Applications, Chase Collier Reinhart Dec 2016

Formulation Of Colloidal Suspensions Of 3-Mercaptopropionic Acid Capped Pbs Quantum Dots As Solution Processable Qd "Inks" For Optoelectronic Applications, Chase Collier Reinhart

Dissertations and Theses

The use of colloidal quantum dots (QDs) for photovoltaic energy conversion is a nascent field that has been dominated for well over a decade by the use of 3-mercaptopropionic acid (3-MPA) capped PbS QDs. These QDs are routinely deposited via an in situ solid state ligand exchange process that displaces the native oleate ligand on the PbS QD surface. This ligand exchange procedure is wasteful of material and has been demonstrated to leave numerous impurities that limit electronic performance of the as-deposited QD devices. Until the last few years there was very little understanding in chemical literature as to many …


Virtual Reference Best Practices And The College Student Experience, Sara J. Stambaugh Dec 2016

Virtual Reference Best Practices And The College Student Experience, Sara J. Stambaugh

School of Education and Leadership Student Capstone Theses and Dissertations

This capstone addressed the research question: what are today’s best practices in online reference, and how can librarians at academic institutions improve the student experience in online reference transactions? It documents one librarian’s creation of best practices for a virtual reference service based on the guidelines and practices outlined by governing bodies, commercial entities, and other libraries. During the study the practices were implemented at a higher education institution and results about the effectiveness, clarity, and overall improvement of virtual reference transactions were gathered using a mixed-methods approach. The author used related research literature as a foundation for building best …


A Multi-Agent System For Adaptive Control Of A Flapping-Wing Micro Air Vehicle, Michal Podhradský Dec 2016

A Multi-Agent System For Adaptive Control Of A Flapping-Wing Micro Air Vehicle, Michal Podhradský

Dissertations and Theses

Biomimetic flapping-wing vehicles have attracted recent interest because of their numerous potential military and civilian applications. In this dissertation is described the design of a multi-agent adaptive controller for such a vehicle. This controller is responsible for estimating the vehicle pose (position and orientation) and then generating four parameters needed for split-cycle control of wing movements to correct pose errors. These parameters are produced via a subsumption architecture rule base. The control strategy is fault tolerant. Using an online learning process, an agent continuously monitors the vehicle's behavior and initiates diagnostics if the behavior has degraded. This agent can then …

Evaluating Potential Impacts Of Climate Change On Surface Water Resource Availability Of Upper Awash Sub-Basin, Ethiopia, Mekonnen Daba, Kassa Tadele, Andualem Shemalis Dec 2016

Evaluating Potential Impacts Of Climate Change On Surface Water Resource Availability Of Upper Awash Sub-Basin, Ethiopia, Mekonnen Daba, Kassa Tadele, Andualem Shemalis

Open Water Journal

Climate changes alter regional hydrologic conditions and results in a variety of impacts on water resource systems. Such hydrologic changes will affect almost every aspect of human well-being. The economy of Ethiopia mainly depends on agriculture, and this in turn largely depends on available water resources. The aim of this study is to assess the impacts of climate change on surface water resource availability of upper Awash River basin by using Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) hydrological model and Regional climate model. This studies were present the results on downscaling of large scale atmospheric variables simulated with regional climate …

Tooltip For Automated Conversion Of Data In Electronic Form, Peter Schiller Dec 2016

Tooltip For Automated Conversion Of Data In Electronic Form, Peter Schiller

Defensive Publications Series

Disclosed herein are a system and a method for a calendar tooltip that includes the designation of significant dates for filling electronic forms with numerical information. The application visually differentiates the significant dates with a highlight app or by some other tool. The servers may process the information given by the user, and a database resolves the given date to a standard format. An assistive tooltip or annotation acts as a feedback mechanism to alert the user about the conversion. Thus, the system may perform smart interaction, and users may discern significant dates without relying on separate apps and services.
