Hydrologic Response of Alternative Valley Fill Reclamation Designs
… Contour), involves the construction of valley fills of headwater systems. Recent research suggests that current MTM reclamation techniques increase stormflow response of the affected watersheds when compared to the original, undisturbed conditions. One method that has shown success in …

Bioreactor Fill Process Control Using Inline Concentration Measurement
… the variability in the performance of a liquid filling operation taking place during the protein production step is desirable, because it: (1) enables process optimization, including potential throughput expansion, (2) demonstrates control over the process, and (3) improves step yield …

Fill estimation for blocked sparse matrices and tensors
… blocking-scheme selection must be efficient. The fill is a quantity which, for some blocking scheme, relates the number of nonzero blocks to the number of nonzeros. Many performance models use the fill to help choose a blocking scheme. The fill is expensive to compute exactly, however. This thesis …

Characterizing Water as Gap Fill for Double Glazing Units
… to characterize the performance of water as gap-fill for double-glazing units in eliminating the compromises that exist in current glazing systems with respect to light and heat transmittance. An in situ test approach and computer simulations were conducted to measure the performance of …

53BP1/Shieldin Counteract DSB Resection Through Fill-In Synthesis
… localize to DSBs, and we directly detect fill-in synthesis by observing shieldin/CST/Polα/primase-dependent nucleotide incorporation. We also demonstrate that tethering CST to DSBs can bypass the need for recruitment by 53BP1/shieldin. A novel shieldin mutant which fails to recruit CST was …

Jazz, improvisation, and streetscapes : guidelines for in-fill development
How can we design in-fill buildings that are frankly new and dynamic, yet respectful and engaging of the context of the streetscape? Improvisational jazz is a form of music whose practitioners seek to integrate the familiar and the novel into a unified composition. Certain practices guide …

Galactic Flood Fill Segmentation and Machine Learning Redshift Estimation
… the background is accomplished using a flood fill segmentation method which is novel to the field of galactic segmentation. Astronomy datasets are so large due to high volume modern surveys that automated analysis techniques are now required. Redshift is a prime example of an expensive …

Site Response Characteristics of Compacted Gravel Fill in Iceland
… seismic site response characteristics of the fill (e.g., the predominant frequency and relative site amplification). To fill this knowledge gap, over 500 hours of microtremor measurements were made at six study sites located throughout the Reykjavík, Iceland, capital region. Measurements …

In vitro evaluation of polymerization energy for bulk fill composites
Recently, the concept of “bulk-fill” resin-based composites (RBCs) has been re-emphasized, with claimed improvements in depth of cure (DOC) with similar mechanical properties and comparable adaptation to walls and margins relative to conventional composite. More research is needed to carefully …

Characterisation and behaviour of recycled concrete and bricks as engineered fill.
… to determine their potential for engineering fill applications. For this purpose their physical and mechanical characteristics have been extensively investigated. Two types of crushed concrete, one obtained straight after demolition and the other further processed to industry specifications, …

Study of natural gas vehicles (NGV) during the fast fill process
… however, are not able to guarantee a 100% full fill to NGV's. A system was designed and built to better understand the characteristics of CNG during the fill process. Useful characteristics of CNG during the fill process are temperature, pressure, and flow rate, as well as, total volume …

Improved Load Distribution for Load Rating of Low-Fill Box Structures
… the effects of pavements present above the fill while determining the load distribution. The distribution of the wheel load through a pavement may be different from that suggested by the current AASHTO guidelines. In addition to the pavement effect, the fill conditions (i.e., fill thickness …

Reinforcement of pavement subgrade using granular fill and a geosynthetic layer
… to pavement damage. The use of imported quality fill to improve the load-bearing capacity of the subgrade has limited benefits, which leads to the necessity of an alternative construction approach to attain the necessary strength of the soil structure. The use of geosynthetics in soil offers a …

Stream functional response to mountaintop removal and valley fill coal mining
Mountaintop removal and valley fill (MTRVF) mining has become a widespread means of coal extraction in the central Appalachians. During MTRVF several hundred meters of overburden are removed to access coal seams, and excess rubble is dumped into adjoining valleys and streams. Filling valleys …

An examination of the requirements for fill materials included in guide specifications
Guide specifications for fill materials are used in the preparation of the earthwork sections of specifications for individual projects. This report discusses the agencies that produce guide specifications for fill materials and the specific material characteristics that these specifications …

Cuspal Deflection in Premolar Teeth Restored with Bulk-Fill Resin-Based Composite Materials
Objectives: To investigate the effect of bulk-fill resin based composite materials on cuspal deflection in large slot mesio-occlusal-distal cavities (MOD) in premolar teeth. Methodology: Thirty-two sound maxillary premolar teeth with large slot MOD cavities were distributed to four groups (n=8). …

Comparison of Groundwater Seepage Modeling in Approximate Original Contour and Geomorphic Valley Fill Design
… placed in headwater valleys. Known as valley fills, these structures are designed to move water rapidly through constructed drains to maximize geotechnical stability using the conventional design method termed Approximate Original Contour (AOC). Seepage from valley fills tends to be elevated …
