Challenges of permitting ballast water discharges from commercial vessels in U.S. waters
On February 5, 2009, the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) issued the Vessel General Permit (VGP), under the Clean Water Act (CWA), for discharges incidental to the normal operation of vessels, including ballast water discharges. This set forth permit requirements for most commercial …

The Southern Ocean meridional overturning circulation as diagnosed from an eddy permitting state estimate
A modern general circulation model of the Southern Ocean with one-sixth of a degree resolution is optimized to the observed ocean in a weighted least squares sense. Convergence to the state estimate solution is carried out by systematically adjusting the control variables (atmospheric state and …

Negotiated and prescriptive zoning : a comparison of Boston and Seattle through the lens of Seaport Square
Permitting and executing large scale real estate developments in Boston, Massachusetts is difficult. The process is time and capital intensive due to the nature of an outdated zoning code that exists to induce project-by-project negotiation with the central permitting authority, the Boston Planning …

A prevention of significant deterioration case study
The PSD permitting of new sources has drawn increasing public and governmental opposition. Much of the opposition is due to heightened environmental awareness. The issues are further compounded by inherent obstacles resulting from the PSD regulations and guidelines. A chronological review of the …

Sound from ultrasound : the parametric array as an audible sound source
… acoustic waves in a spatially versatile manner, permitting concise, narrow directivity patterns otherwise possible only with physically very large transducer geometries. This thesis explores the use of the parametric array as an audible sound source, permitting audible sound to be generated with …

Enzymatic crosslinking of dynamic hydrogels for in vitro cell culture
… (4D) hydrogels (i.e., 3D materials permitting time-dependent control of matrix properties) are proposed to recapitulate dynamic changes of ECM properties. The goal of this thesis was to exploit orthogonal enzymatic reactions for on-demand stiffening and/or softening of cell-laden …
