Comparison is fundamental to evolutionary anthropology. When scientists study chimpanzee cognition, for example, they compare chimp performance on cognitive tasks to the performance of human children on the same tasks. And when new fossils are found, such as those of the tiny …
The book has 16 chapters dealing with the following subjects: model-based systems engineering; MBSE concepts; SysML notation; systems modelling; diagramming guidelines; expanded process modelling; expanded requirements modelling; and architectural frameworks.
Over the last few decades, new technologies in the form of observational satellites, measurement instruments, and model simulations have enabled the scientific community to make substantial strides to understand the drivers, mechanics, and impacts of climate change. This dissert…
Here we present a numerical modeling effort to estimate historical groundwater concentrations of perfluorooctanoate (PFOA), perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), and perfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHxS) resulting from releases of aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) near Colorado Springs, …
In an effort to provide more weight to the particle nature of light, a lesson sequence was developed that reflected the Next Generation Science Standard (NGSS) Performance Expectation (PE) HS-PS4-3, which has students evaluating the claim, evidence, and reasoning behind the idea…
The purpose of this project is to design and manufacture a high precision machine to directly measure the surface force of fluids. Knowing how to move droplets easier with less resistance can increase the potential of a wide range of applications and improve the performance of t…
Fresh water resources are critical for daily human consumption. Therefore, a continuous monitoring effort over their quantity and quality is instrumental. One important model for water quantity monitoring is the rainfall-runoff model, which represents the response of a watershed…
Zeolite membranes are considered to be a promising alternative to polymeric membranes and they have the potential to separate gases under harsh conditions. Silicalite-1 membranes in particular are easy to prepare and suitable for several industrial applications. In this research…
It is usually assumed that the parameters of an optimization problem to be known numbers or scalars. Accordingly, the objective function value is a scalar or a point value. However, in real life, the parameters may not be known exactly and all we know about them is that they fal…
In addition to the traditional role that the FCC process plays in heavy oil cracking, nowadays this process is becoming increasingly important as a potentially flexible means to respond to changes in petrochemical product demand It is expected that the FCC process will play a ma…
Data science and analytics have emerged as the most desired fields in driving business decisions. Using the techniques and methods of data science, decision makers can uncover hidden patterns in their data, develop algorithms and models that help improve processes and make key b…
Modelling is a powerful method for understanding complex systems, which works by simplifying them to their most essential components. The choice of the components is driven by the aspects studied. The tool chosen to perform this task will determine what can be modelled, the maxi…
The main objective of this research was to develop and utilize a coupled surface water groundwater model to simulate hydrological responses of watersheds. This was achieved by coupling the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) groundwater flow model, MODFLOW, and the rainfall runoff mod…
Growth hormone deficiency has benefited immensely from the effective use of growth hormone replacement therapy. Recently the manufacture of recombinant human growth hormone (RHGH) has increased evaluation of the therapeutic value of growth hormone beyond the treatment of growth …
