Geographic information analysis of uranium in groundwater near the Lake Ontario Ordnance Works (LOOW) and Niagara Falls storage site in Niagara County, New York
(2010)
In this thesis standard geostatistical methods are applied to the study of groundwater contamination by uranium in the Lake Ontario Ordnance Works (LOOW) site in northwest Niagara County, New York. Geospatial statistical ...
Impregnated membranes for water purification using forward osmosis
(2015)
Forward osmosis (FO) provides an energy efficient route for seawater desalination and wastewater treatment, because water transport is driven by the osmotic pressure difference across the membrane and there is no need of ...
American graffiti: Spatial analysis of petty crime in New York City
(2012)
Graffiti, although heralded as an emerging art form by some, is a significant nuisance to urban residents throughout the world. Graffiti can devalue property, drive away retail business, and cause city residents to feel ...
A physics-based emulator for the simulation of geophysical mass flows
(2012)
Rare natural hazards such as large volcanic eruptions can cause loss of life and damage to property. With sufficient information, those charged with public safety may issue warnings of impending hazards, to mitigate the ...
Association between physical food environment and weight status of NYS public school students
(2017)
The prevalence of obesity has become a great public health concern in the United States. Food environment is one contextual driver that has been widely discussed. According to previous research, disparities in childhood ...

Model-Data Fusion and Adaptive Sensing for Large Scale Systems: Applications to Atmospheric Release Incidents
(2014)
All across the world, toxic material clouds are emitted from sources, such as industrial plants, vehicular traffic, and volcanic eruptions can contain chemical, biological or radiological material. With the growing fear ...
The geologic history of Apollinaris Mons, Mars
(2011)
Apollinaris Mons (AM), Mars (174.3°E, 8.5°S), is a low-lying, central-vent volcano located near the boundary between the northern lowlands and the southern highlands, and ∼200 km north of Gusev crater. It has a fan-shaped ...
Pressure and photo-induced modification of structural and chemical order in binary and elemental chalcogenide based materials
(2016)
This dissertation explores the effects of pressure and light on chalcogenide based materials. In ZnSe, ZnTe, and CdSe the surprising precipitation of the constituent anion under hydrostatic pressure and moderate laser ...
Thiol-containing zwitterionic polymers for polymeric membrane surface modification in wastewater treatment
(2016)
A series of copolymers based on disulfide-containing monomer 2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl lipoate (MAEL) were synthesized by reverse addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization with three different zwitterionic ...
