A Comparison Of Traditional And Bayesian Statistical Models In Fluvial Sediment Transport, Mark L. Schmelter, David King Stevens

Civil and Environmental Engineering Faculty Publications

The characterization of sediment transport is an important problem that has been actively studied for some time. Numerous approaches have been demonstrated in the literature, including mechanistic models, probabilistic arguments, machine learning algorithms, and empirical formulations. Most implementations of sediment transport relations are deterministic in nature and require the specification of model parameters. These parameters are traditionally assumed fixed (i.e., a single value), and subsequent predictions are not necessarily representative because of uncertainty because they are fixed (i.e., a line). In this paper, a Bayesian statistical sediment transport model is presented, and its ability to infer critical shear values from …

College Women’S Experiences Of Intimate Partner Violence: Exploring Mental Health Issues, F. Scott Christopher, Tiffani S. Kisler

Human Development and Family Science Faculty Publications

College women’s experiences with sexual and physical violence are so common that campus interventions are needed. To help guide these, we surveyed 339 college women and asked: (a) are college women’s experiences with different types of relational violence interrelated and (b) are there patterns of association between types of violence and mental health symptoms? Analyses showed that experiences with verbal aggression, and minor and major physical violence overlapped. Experiences of sexual assault and minor physical violence also co-occurred. Moreover, women who encountered verbal and physical, but not sexual violence, suffered from symptoms of hostility, anxiety, and depression; those who encountered …

Imagination Enviro-Station: Students Connecting Students To Ecological Sustainability, David Burley, Natalie Shelton, Chris Daunis, Jessica Cuifi, Jamie Walker, Maria Coleman, Bertha-Fabianna Matheu

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

The development of an environmental identity is viewed by many as essential if we are to reorganize our societies toward ecological sustainability (Bell 2009; Clayton and Opotow 2003; Thomashow 2002). That, along with an eye toward environmental justice, was the major impetus for our graduate seminar in applied environmental sociology to partner with an elementary school in our small city of Hammond, LA, during the spring semester of 2010. After conducting focus groups with a group of fourth to sixth grade students and holding decision-making discussions with them for this community-based research (CBR) project, we went about two projects – …

Examining Community-Based Research As An Application For Public Health Training, Jolynn P. Montgomery, Dana L. Thomas

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

The University of Michigan School of Public Health provided community-based research (CBR) opportunities to masters-level students through week-long field experiences in two communities in Mississippi through interdisciplinary collaboration with Delta State University. This article examines the learning outcomes of those field experiences in the context of CBR and the value that those experiences added to their public health proficiency. Quantitative and qualitative data from post-deployment evaluations were examined to determine strengths and weaknesses of this approach to the public health learning process. Overall, students found this approach to provide a rich context for research, help put a face to the …

Contract Law In A Comparative Perspective, Suharnoko Suharnoko

Indonesia Law Review

Media reports on cases of the theft of pre-paid pulses taking place nowadays have created a misunderstanding in terms of the appropriate application of criminal law. In the context of existing legal provisions concerning consumer protection as set forth both under the Consumer Protection Law as well as in part under the Telecommunications Law, law enforcement agencies are leaning towards applying general criminal provisions (theft) which, after a careful observation of the Indonesian Criminal Code, in fact do not extend to corporate criminal acts. This paper purports to explain that the currently occurring cases of the theft of pre-paid pulses …

Can Middle Managers Make A Telling Contribution To Strategy Development In An Organisation, Tony Kealy

Other resources

The role of the middle manager in organisations has been the topic of much research over the past number of decades. Many articles have been published claiming the potential for middle managers to contribute significantly to strategic development. This research attempts to test the validity of this theory with a practical grounding. This research is based on a qualitative study involving semi-structured interviews with four managers in different organisations. The project relies on established typologies for middle management involvement in strategy and middle management activity depending on organisational type.

Challenges Of Permitting Ballast Water Discharges From Commercial Vessels In U.S. Waters, Paul Rodriguez

Theses

On February 5, 2009, the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) issued the Vessel General Permit (VGP), under the Clean Water Act (CWA), for discharges incidental to the normal operation of vessels, including ballast water discharges. This set forth permit requirements for most commercial vessel discharges within 3 nautical miles of U.S. shore. Since it will expire in December 2013, the US EPA recently issued a draft 2013 VGP. One of the significant changes is the proposal of numerical ballast water discharge standards requiring most commercial vessels to install ballast water treatment systems onboard.

The objective of this thesis is …

Gpu Implementation Of Block Transforms, Boyan Zhang

Theses

Traditionally, intensive floating-point computational ability of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) has been mainly limited for rendering and visualization application by architecture and programming model. However, with increasing programmability and architecture progress, GPUs inherent massively parallel computational ability have become an essential part of today's mainstream general purpose (non-graphical) high performance computing system. It has been widely reported that adapted GPU-based algorithms outperform significantly their CPU counterpart.

The focus of the thesis is to utilize NVIDIA CUDA GPUs to implement orthogonal transforms such as signal dependent Karhunen-Loeve Transform and signal independent Discrete Cosine Transform. GPU architecture and programming model are examined. …

Utilization Of A Tropospheric-Stratospheric Lidar System To Study Mountain Induced Gravity Waves Over Jenny Jump State Forest, Anthony Teti

Theses

Gravity waves are a dominant driver of the middle and lower atmospheric circulation. Yet such waves have been difficult to study due to their inherent small spatial and temporal scales and synoptic occurrence, and thus require advanced experimental systems. In this thesis first results are presented from a newly constructed tropospheric-stratospheric lidar operating at the New Jersey Institute of Technology-United Astronomy Clubs of New Jersey site in Jenny Jump State Forest in northwest New Jersey. The system utilizes a 4-W 532-nm Nd:YAG laser transmitter and a 4-inch telescope receiver to collect backscattered photons from the lower atmosphere in order to …

Ergonomic Evaluation Of Shoulder Muscle Activation During Light Weight Hand Tool Exertion Task, Gul Ahmed

Theses

A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of shoulder muscle activation during hand exertion tasks using a light weight hand tool by working individuals. Electromyography (EMG) of trapezius, supraspinatus, triceps, and pectoralis major was conducted for 45°, 0° and -45° arm angles, for three different reaches i.e. normal, maximum and extreme and three different push forces low, medium and high. Ten volunteers participated in the experimental study. The effects of push force and reach distance were found to be statistically significant for all four muscles. However the effect of change of angle was not found to be statistically significant, …

Food Stamps Grow Urban Gardens, Daniel Bowman Simon

Cities and the Environment (CATE)

Plants and seeds can be purchased with SNAP (formerly Food Stamps, renamed Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP in 2008,) but most current SNAP participants are unaware. Nearly four decades ago, in 1973, Alabama Senator James Allen championed an amendment to allow the purchase of food-producing plants and seeds with Food Stamps. The Senate passed the amendment after less than ten minutes of floor debate. However, in the ensuing decades, there has not been a focused national effort to make SNAP participants raise awareness of this choice that is available to SNAP participants, nor to connect SNAP participants to resources …

Viirs Radiometric Calibration For Reflective Solar Bands: Antarctic Dome C Site And Simultaneous Nadir Overpass Observations, Slawomir Blonski, Changyong Cao, Sirish Uprety, Xi Shao

The Characterization and Radiometric Calibration for Remote Sensing Annual Meeting (CALCON)

VIIRS (Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite), one of five instruments onboard the recently launched Suomi NPP (National Polar-orbiting Partnership) satellite, acquired its first measurements in November 2011. To achieve the required quality of the radiometrically and geometrically corrected sensor data records, VIIRS performance and accuracy of its data products are continuously evaluated. Since the finding of an accelerated degradation of VIIRS sensitivity in selected spectral bands, frequent monitoring of VIIRS radiometric performance became even more essential. In the presented work, we used two methods to evaluate radiometric calibration of the VIIRS sensor data records: (1) imaging of radiometrically stable Earth’s …

Preliminary Comparison Of Radiometric Calibration Performance Among Cris, Airs And Iasi Using Gsics Geo-Leo Inter-Calibration, Fangfang Yu, Xiangqian Wu, Yong Han

The Characterization and Radiometric Calibration for Remote Sensing Annual Meeting (CALCON)

The Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) instrument, one of the key payloads onboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) launched on Oct., 28, 2011, will provide well-calibrated high-spectral resolution data to enhance the weather forecasting models and also to improve the understanding of the climate phenomena. In this study, we evaluate and compare the overall radiometric calibration accuracy of CrIS with those of the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) on Aqua and the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) on Metop-A using the GEO(geostationary)-LEO(Low Earth orbit) inter-calibration technique developed in the Global Space-based Inter-Calibration System (GSICS) project. This GSICS GEO-LEO inter-calibration is based …
