Two phase flow splitting in piping branches
The objectives of this research are to evaluate the performance of a flow-splitting tripod, discover the factors which most affect the flow distribution; and quantify the effects of geometry, quality and flow rate on the distribution. Knowing all this allows one to predict the distribution for …

Piping plover population dynamics and effects of beach management practices on piping plovers at West Hampton Dunes and Westhampton Beach, New York
… Corps) provided a unique opportunity to study piping plover population dynamics in a changing environment. In this study, 1993-2004, we attempt to determine the factors that limit or influence the abundance and distribution of piping plovers in West Hampton Dunes (WHD), Long Island, NY, a …

A study of the behaviour of pressurized piping elbows
The behaviour of piping elbows under bending and internal pressure is more complicated than expected. The main problem is that the coupling of bending and internal pressure is non-linear; stress and displacement cannot be added according to the principle of superposition. In addition, internal …

Investigation of backwards erosion piping by data driven modeling
This thesis investigates backwards erosion piping (BEP) as a failure mechanism; it focuses on the ability to use pore water pressure (PWP) measurements to (1) monitor, (2) investigate progression of, and (3) better predict BEP. This thesis starts with understanding PWP trends as BEP progresses, …

Impact of Piping Materials on Water Quality in Tegucigalpa, Honduras
The possible effects of pipe materials on drinking water quality have been analyzed in the distribution system of the water treatment plant of "La La Concepciónâ " in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. "La La Concepciónâ " is a surface water reservoir experiencing biogeochemical cycling of manganese. Black …

Scope theory revisited : lessons from pied-piping in wh-questions
… This thesis argues that a closer study of pied-piping in wh-questions reveals the true power of already-existing tools in grammar. Building on the important insight that more complex scope-takers can be recursively built (Dayal, 1994; Charlow, 2017), I advance the idea that grammar makes crucial …

Piping plover breeding biology and reproductive success on Assateague Island
I studied the piping plover on Assateague Island during the 1986 and 1987 breeding seasons. In 1987, I estimated the population to be 69 pairs. During both years, plovers nested on only a few portions of the island. I think that this pattern of nesting was determined by the distribution of three …

Piping plover (Charadrius melodus) foraging ecology in the Great Plains
The Great Plains piping plover (Charadrius melodus) population was listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act in 1986. The challenge for managers of this population is to increase the fledging rate and to ensure that there is sufficient habitat to support an increasing population. …

Population Dynamics of Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus) on the Missouri River
… declines. The Great Plains population of piping plovers (Charadrius melodus) was listed as threatened in 1986, and habitat loss and predation appear to be limiting the growth of this population. On the Missouri River, piping plovers nest on sandbars, but the damming of the mainstem of the …

Population Dynamics of Threatened Piping Plovers on the Niobrara River, Nebraska
… important habitat for the federally threatened piping plover (“plover”, Charadrius melodus). Plovers nest on open to sparsely vegetated river sandbars, and their demographic rates are closely linked to habitat availability and quality, as well as river flow. The Niobrara River in northern …

The Winter Ecology of the Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) in Coastal Georgia
<p>Author's abstract: The Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) is a federally listed species with three distinct breeding populations, including Great Plains (threatened), Great Lakes (endangered), and Atlantic Coast (threatened), all of which winter along the Atlnatic and Gulf coasts of the United …

Reconstruction of industrial piping installations from laser point clouds using profiling techniques
As-built models of industrial piping installations are essential for planning applications in industry. Laser scanning has emerged as the preferred data acquisition method of as built information for creating these three dimensional (3D) models. The product of the scanning process is a cloud of …
