Numerical Simulation Of The Base-level Buffers And Buttresses Conceptual Model Of Fluvial Systems
(Geology, 2012-07-25)
A Buffer in fluvial stratigraphy is a potentiometric surface which defines either: a) the lowest possible depth to which streams will incise; or b) the maximum elevation to which aggradation will occur; together, these ...
Bismuth-based Oxide Semiconductors: Mild Synthesis And Practical Applications
(Environmental & Earth Science, 2012-04-11)
In this dissertation study, bismuth based oxide semiconductors were prepared using 'mild' synthesis techniques - electrodepostion and solution combustion synthesis. Potential environmental remediation and solar energy ...
Predicting The Geographic Distribution Of Ancient Soils With Special Reference To The Cretaceous
(Environmental & Earth Science, 2012-04-11)
Different kinds of soils form in different climatic regimes. Soils closely match climatic conditions. Therefore, they are one of the best indicators of past climates. This study uses the "climate envelope" technique developed ...
Proximity Of Cancer Cases To Airports Within The State Of Texas
(Environmental & Earth Science, 2012-07-25)
Determining whether the incidence of cancer may be associated with pollutants emitted from airports is important in order to better plan cities to reduce such incidences. This research aims to answer the following questions: ...
On-road Measurement Of NOx And CO₂ Emissions From Biodiesel Produced From Different Feedstocks
(Environmental & Earth Science, 2012-07-25)
Biodiesel has generated increased interest in the US and elsewhere recently as an alternative to petroleum-derived diesel. Because it can be produced from domestic feedstocks such as soybeans, canola oil, and even recycled ...
