Design of Single-Sided Fillet Welds Under Transverse Loading
(2021-09-01)
In North American steel design codes, a “directional strength enhancement” (or “sinθ”) factor is used to increase the predicted strength of fillet welds subjected to tension-induced shear. CSA and AISC code committees have ...
LEAD SERVICE LINE REPLACEMENTS: A GEOMATIC APPROACH TO INTEGRATE COST AND WATER QUALITY AND STUDYING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THEM
(2021-01-07)
Lead toxicity has been extensively studied in humans based on blood lead levels (BLLs). Scientists say there is no safe level of lead and that children are especially vulnerable since their bodies can absorb more of the ...
A Framework to Predict and Mitigate Bycatch for Vulnerable Marine Species
(2021-08-25)
Bycatch is a pressing concern impeding the sustainability of fisheries. Yet, bycatch is often not well mitigated due to incomplete monitoring of at-sea. This thesis aims to inform management strategies for bycatch mitigation ...
UV LED TECHNOLOGY FOR DRINKING WATER POU APPLICATIONS AND BIOFILM DISINFECTION
(2021-03-11)
UV LEDs are a promising technology for the water sector because of their small size and low energy consumption, which makes them ideal for POU applications. UV LED POU device testing is required to verify their effectiveness ...
DEEP LEARNING APPROACHES TO CLASSIFY AND TRACK AT-RISK FISH SPECIES
(2021-08-31)
In marine ecosystems, fish play a crucial role. They are linked to other organisms through the food web and other processes. Because they provide food, humans have had an especially close relationship with them for decades. ...
Reweaving the Urban Landscape: Restoring Water Sustainability in the Laguna, Mexico
(2021-04-08)
The Laguna, a semi-desertic region in northern Mexico, is an emblem of industrial prowess and economic development, yet one riddled by water inaccessibility. Torreon, the Laguna’s hub, now dwells in the dichotomy of ...
“Till Society be Differently Constituted, Much Cannot be Expected from Education”: Feminist Imaginings of Women’s Rights and Education in Wollstonecraft, Hays, Robinson, and Thelwall
(2021-08-31)
This project elucidates the connection between the philosophical treatises written by Mary Wollstonecraft, Mary Hays, Mary Robinson, and John Thelwall in the 1790s advocating women’s rights and education and Wollstonecraft’s, ...
Improved Charge Transfer and Barrier Lowering across a Au-MoS2 Interface through the Insertion of a Layered Ca2N Electride
(2021-08-31)
Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are a family of layered semiconductors
with great potential to impact the upcoming field of two-dimensional (2D) electronics.
In particular, MoS2 is a TMDC with a desirable band ...
Deep Reinforcement Learning Based Admission Control for Throughput Maximization in Mobile Edge Computing
(2021-09-02)
With the development of wireless network technologies, Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) has been proposed as a solution for mobile devices’ high-complexity computation. Technically, with MCC, mobile devices’ high-complexity ...
Common Structure Among Maximum Agreement Forests of Phylogenetic Trees
(2021-09-01)
Reconciling sets of phylogenetic trees has become a problem of particular interest in both theoretical computer science and bioinformatics. The use of the maximum agreement forest as a tool by which to attain insight into ...
