The Connection Between Landscape Architecture And Water Quality: A Survey Of Landscape Architects In Texas
(Landscape Architecture, 2007-08-23)
For local jurisdictions and consumers, water quality has become importantas development pressures and expanding population has increased the strain on existing water supplies. Aging infrastructure, limited financial ...
Effectiveness Of Signal Coordination As An Emission Reduction Measure For Vehicles
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Air Pollution is a significant health and environmental concern. Vehicular emissions are major contributors to many air pollution problems. There is growing interest in reducing carbon dioxide emission because of the ...
Development Of Targeting Nanoparticles Mimicking The Adhesive Properties Of Platelets
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
The development of biodegradable nanoparticles as drug delivery vehicles presents an improved avenue for intracellular targeted drug delivery. Biodegradable nanoparticles have demonstrated an ability to provide controllable, ...
Cytotoxic Evaluation And Factorial Analysis Of 3D Photopolymerizable Thermoresponsive Composite Nanoparticle Hydrogels For Controlled Drug Delivery In Restenosis And Wound Healing
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-09-17)
To develop a smart drug delivery system for restenosis and wound healing applications, we investigated photopolymerizable composite nanoparticle hydrogels which can release the drug in a temperature-responsive manner. Our ...
Impacts Of Signal Synchronization On Vehicular Emissions - An On-board Measurement Case Study
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Nearly 56% of total nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions are produced by mobile sources. Transportation and air quality managers at the state and regional level have the responsibility of developing and evaluating Transportation ...
Impact Of A Pre-combustion Retrofit Device On Vehicular Emissions: A Case Study
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Vehicular emissions are a major cause of air pollution in the cities worldwide. Increased numbers of vehicles and the vehicle miles traveled by them every year means that the emissions are going to have a detrimental effect ...
A Life In Context: Finding Form In Lewis T. May
(Landscape Architecture, 2007-08-23)
This thesis examines the life and career of Lewis T. May (1946 -), FASLA. During his three decades of practice, Mr. May has made exceptional contributions in landscape architecture as a practitioner, author, and academic, ...
Determination Of Safe Buffer Width Of Roadway To Protect Human Health Form Harmful NOx Exposure
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-08-23)
According to the 2004 EPA Trends Report, US on-road transportation sources emit 36% of nitrogen oxides (NOx), 63% of carbon monoxide (CO), and 29% of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This research determines a safe roadway ...
Comparison Of Adsorption Capacities Of Nanoadsorbents With Conventional Activated Carbon For Volatile Organic Compounds
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-08-23)
This research explores the potential for using single wall carbon nanohorns (SWNHs) for adsorption of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) categorized as hazardous air pollutants and which contribute to ground level ozone ...
Removal Of Carbonyl Sulfide Using Compost Biofilter: Measurement Of Removal Rates And Elimination Capacity In Conjunction With Hydrogen Sulfide
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-08-23)
A lab study using biofiltration was conducted using three PVC columns as biofilters, with hardwood chips and compost as the media. Previous research determined the removal efficiency of carbonyl sulfide alone. (Nawal, 2004) ...
