Oil spill response resources
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Pollution has become one of the main problems being faced by humanity. Preventing pollution from occurring might be the best idea but is not possible in this fast developing world. So the next best thing to do would be ...
Strategies for improved arterial coordination using actuated control
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Traffic actuated signals have been efficiently used in controlling isolated I intersections because they respond to random traffic fluctuations using detectors on all approaches. Application to coordinated arterial operations ...
Operation of water supply reservoirs for flood mitigation : hydrologic and institutional considerations
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Additional demands are being placed upon reservoirs to meet a variety of diverse needs. These demands require efficient management of the limited storage through reservoir operations. This efficiency is most critical with ...
A preliminary evaluation of a speed threshold incident detection algorithm
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Traffic management centers can reduce emergency vehicle response time to incidents with immediate detection of incidents. Traffic management centers detect incidents by applying speed, occupancy, and/or volume loop detector ...
Solidification/stabilization of simulated uranium and nickel contaminated sludges
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Research missions in nuclear energy conducted by the U.S. Department of Energy facilities have generated large volumes of mixed wastes with hazardous and radioactive components. Uranium and nickel are the primary contaminants ...
Determining TSP, PM10 & PM2.5 using the Coulter Counter Multisizer
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
A new method for determining the PMI 0 concentrations has been developed. It is called the I-fiVol/Coulter process and involves using the high volume sampler (HVol) and the Coulter Counter particle size distributions. PMIO ...
Alternatives for reducing the environmental risks associated with natural disasters and their effects on pipelines
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Past pipeline failure reports have typically focused on corrosion and third party related events. However, natural disasters pose a substantial risk to pipeline integrity as well. Therefore, it was the objective of this ...
Analytical modeling of composite steel-concrete frame systems
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Equivalent macromodel based analytical tools, comprised of flexibility-based element models, are used to accurately represent the non-linear moment-curvature (force-deformation) response characteristics in structural systems ...
Design and development of a laboratory suction measuring device
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
The compaction of the landfill clay liner at wet of optimum moisture content with a suitable type of compaction is the most common way of decreasing liner hydraulic conductivity. However, when the clay liner compacted in ...
Fluoride removal in the presence of organophosphates: application to chemical warfare agent destruction
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
New international policy and the inherent danger of chemical weapons storage has produced an unprecedented demand for the destruction of chemical warfare agent (CWA) stockpiles. In the face of bitter opposition to the use ...
