Spring 2017
Fluxgate magnetometers are an essential tool for solar-terrestrial research and monitoring or forecasting space weather. They provide high precision measurements of the Earth’s magnetic fields and can be used to infer the currents that transport energy and momentum through the magnetosphere and...

An Investigation of Using n-Si Piezoresistive Behavior to Develop a Three-Dimensional Stress Sensing Rosette
DownloadFall 2013
This work involves the design, microfabrication, calibration, and testing of a new silicon-based piezoresistive rosette capable of extracting the three-dimensional (3D) stresses in the silicon upon deformation. A new 10-element piezoresistive rosette was devised to extract all stress components...

Calibration and Validation of a SWAT model for the quantification of water provision ecosystem service for the Conservation Area of Guanacaste
DownloadFall 2021
Water is considered a cross-cutting resource for all the ecosystem services (ES) types, namely: for the provision of drinking water and food; regulation through flood control; guarantee of a suitable habitat for fauna and flora; and inspiration for many cultures and their intangible heritage...

Identification of Data Requirements for Calibration of a Steady State ASM2d Model at GBWWTP
DownloadSpring 2010
An attempt was made to calibrate a steady state activated sludge model (ASM2d) for the biological nutrient removal process at the Gold bar wastewater treatment plant. This calibrated model could be used on a regular basis to test various operational strategies and predict effluent quality under...

In Situ Measurement of the IceCube DOM Efficiency Factor Using Atmospheric Minimum Ionizing Muons
DownloadFall 2019
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a large scale neutrino detector embedded deep within the Antarctic ice located at the geographical South Pole. It instruments over one cubic kilometre of ice with 5,160 Digital Optical Modules (DOM), each of which houses a 10 inch diameter photomultiplier tube...

Numerical Simulation Of Water Flow Through Unsaturated Soil In Vertical And Inclined Layered Systems
DownloadSpring 2016
In past decades, there were discussions explaining the mechanisms and factors that influence water flow through soil in unsaturated conditions. This phenomenon is of major importance to the mining industry as water is one of the trigger mechanisms for Acid Rock Generation (ARD) generation. In...

Spring 2018
The aim of this study is to develop a technique capable of performing three-dimensional particle tracking by using images from a plenoptic (or light field) camera. Use of a plenoptic camera enables the collection of three-dimensional positional data within a volume, which would normally require...
