Applicability of a Portable Particle Monitor for Measuring TSP and PM10 in the Ambient Environment Zou, Mingqi (2017-05-05)The National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) was established and revised to regulate PM10 (particles less than or equal to 10 μm in aerodynamic diameter), as these small particles were found to penetrate and deposit ...
-
, Deepti (2009-05-15)Water quality models are applied to assess the various processes affecting the concentrations of contaminants in a watershed. SPAtially Referenced Regression On Watershed attributes (SPARROW) is a nonlinear regression based ...
-
Gitter, Anna Caitlin (2016-08-29)Applying a risk assessment framework, such as quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA), can be used to estimate the human health risk associated with recreation in a waterbody impaired for elevated levels of fecal ...
-
Kaushik, Vishakha (2016-05-06)The effectiveness and feasibility of Advanced Reduction Process on arsenic has been studied. Advanced Reduction Process generates highly reducing radicals using a combination of a reducing reagent and UV light. These highly ...
-
Martin, Emily C (2013-05-02)Bacterial contamination due to excessive levels of bacteria is a confounding problem and remediation of impaired watersheds relies on the detection of fecal indicator bacteria and then assessing the source of said bacteria. ...
-
Capunitan, Jewel Alviar (2013-01-15)Due to security issues in energy supply and environmental concerns, renewable energy production from biomass becomes an increasingly important area of study. Thus, thermal conversion of biomass via pyrolysis and subsequent ...
-
McKee, Kyle Patrick (2015-02-10)Manganese (Mn) is considered a nuisance chemical in drinking water. Manganese causes problems with staining, foul odor, undesirable tastes, and can be corrosive to pipelines. The United States Environmental Protection ...

Munjal, Neera (2014-12-03)The eukaryotic green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, is a unique expression platform that can efficiently express complex therapeutic proteins. However, demonstrating that therapeutic molecules can be produced in quantifiable ...
-
Lin, Sin-Hong (2016-12-07)The activated iron media (AIM) treatment system is an innovative ZVI-based water treatment technology for removing heavy metals, reactive oxyanions and nutrients from a contaminated water stream. The AIM treatment system ...
-
Laird, Edward Dylan (2016-07-27)Wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) are typically incapable of addressing the influx of antibiotics (AB), and may act as a harbor for the selection and proliferation of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB). In order to examine ...
-
Mahadevan, Aishwarya (2014-12-12)Biomolecules are inherently less conductive. Therefore, bio-electronic devices that depend on conventional biomolecules to tether enzymes onto electrode supports and to shuttle electrons between the enzyme and the electrode ...
-
Lassig, Jarrett (2012-12-13)When cultivated properly in bioreactors, microalgae have been found to produce vast amounts of biomass. In the case of diatom cultivation where the organisms will fall out of suspension quite easily, paddle wheels or pumps ...
-
Luedecke, Phillip Ryan (2011-10-21)Microalgae produce large quantities of lipids that can be used for biofuel feedstock. The goal of this project was to determine the effect of several engineering and management parameters on the productivity of microalgae ...

Riebschleager, Kendra Jean (2009-05-15)According to the USEPA National Section 303(d) List Fact Sheet, bacterial pathogens are the leading cause of water quality impairments in Texas. The automated Spatially Explicit Load Enrichment Calculation Tool (SELECT) ...
-
Rafi, Khurram (2015-05-06)This study examines the relationship of E. coli concentrations and recreational use to both stream order and watershed size. To determine possible ecoregion effects, the E. coli data used in this study were obtained from ...
-
Clayton, James Brent (2012-07-16)Rainwater harvesting (RWH) is a method of capturing rainfall from a catchment surface and storing it for later use. Though it has been around for thousands of years, its popularity and use has been increasing in recent ...
-
Childress, Hannah (2011-10-21)The ubiquitous use of antibiotics has led to an increasing number of antibioticresistant bacterial strains, including strains that are multidrug resistant, pathogenic, or both. Numerous studies have been conducted showing ...
-
Virani, Afreen Shiraz (2014-08-12)Failing Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems (OWTSs) have been identified as a significant threat to water quality, discharging significant amounts of inadequately treated sewage effluents. When developing a Watershed ...
-
Mckee, Kyna (2012-10-19)When developing a Watershed Protection Plan (WPP) or a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), it is often difficult to accurately assess the pollutant load for a watershed because not enough water quality monitoring data are ...
