Responding to poverty and injustice in the light of the post-development debate: insights from a Sengalese non-governmental organisation
… in one of the most prominent recent debates in development theory – that between post-development theorists and their critics – and brings to it insights drawn from the experiences of a Senegalese non-governmental organisation, Enda Graf Sahel. I begin by providing a critical discussion of the …

Non-perennial streamflow & geomorphic patterns in a semi-arid rangeland slated for development
… presence and absence. A historical pre-development baseline allows for better consideration when making development and infrastructure decisions as well as post-development comparison to quantify urbanization-driven impacts. This project focuses on a non-perennial stream channel in West …

Poverty alleviation, development and philanthropy in contemporary South Africa
… with regards to poverty alleviation and development. This was achieved by looking at the literature around philanthropy and fieldwork. The literature helped in providing an understanding of philanthropy and the politics around it. Most of the literature that was used was internationally …

Evaluation of spatially dependent on-site detention basin policies
… are commonly constructed downstream of every new development to control post-development runoff, and are called "on-site" detention basins. It has been shown by multiple authors in the literature that the design of on-site detention basins with no consideration of their location (non-spatially …

Organising Tataland, the modern nation : a history of development in post/colonial India
Development in the post/colonial world is premised on the twin logics of modernization and nation-building, of which the latter has received little attention in post-development studies, and relatedly Management and Organisation Studies (MOS). This thesis interrogates – historically and critically …

Using Bioretention Retrofits to Achieve the Goals of Virginia's New Stormwater Management Regulations
… (Q*RV) from the one-year storm event in the post-development condition to be reduced to eighty percent of the pre-development Q*RV to protect against channel erosion. This study models different bioretention cell sizes in a developed watershed in Blacksburg, Virginia to determine the …

The ideal stormwater runoff calculator and how to apply it to site scale planning of federal facilities
… volume estimation methods used to determine predevelopment and post-development hydrologic conditions for site scale retention design. Results of this comparison imply that it might be advantageous for federal facilities to adopt moderate to high level stormwater runoff volume estimation tools …

Performance Evaluation of a Low Impact Development Retrofit for Urban Stormwater Treatment
The goal of Low Impact Development (LID) is to mimic the pre-development hydrologic regime of a catchment through infiltration, filtration, storage, evaporation, and detention of post-development runoff using small-scale hydrologic controls close to the source. A LID facility located in Northern …

Sociotechnical systems in campus stormwater management: impediments and driving forces for refined sustainable systems
… of university stormwater management programs or post-development analysis. This is often due to sociotechnical factors which account for both technical knowledge and social influences. My thesis is a pilot study for a longer campaign in the dissemination of knowledge about campus stormwater …

Making the Case for Tailored Stormwater Management
… specific watershed may be worthwhile to minimize development costs and maximize downstream benefit. A hydrologic/hydraulic model for a watershed in Blacksburg, Virginia, is used to evaluate downstream results based on implementation of several alternative SWM strategies currently practiced within …

Encouraging low-impact-development stormwater-management practices / Assabet River Watershed sub-basin case study
… The first is a comprehensive review of Acton's developmental code and ordinances. The second part of the study is a site redevelopment design using LID technologies for site-level stormwater management. To facilitate the regulatory review, a code and ordinance worksheet (COW) developed by The …

Tree Canopy Cover Response to Land Development Policies in Fairfax County
… such as urban heat and stormwater. Land development leads to canopy loss through tree removal, but some localities have regulations in place that require trees to be retained or replanted during development. The goal of these regulations is to preserve tree cover. Since 2009, Fairfax …

Configurationally restricted bis-tetraazamacrocyclic complexes: chemokine receptor antagonists
… CXCR4 plays a vital role in embryonic development but is not essential at the post-development stage; therefore, it has been identified as a potential therapeutic target.Bis-macrocyclic drugs (e.g. AMDS 100) bind to aspartate residues on the CXCR4 surface and inhibit HIV replication by …

Aerial photography and environmental impact analysis : the potential contribution of comparative interpretation of multi-temporal aerial photographs to Environmental Impact Analysis
… 1983 at scales ranging from 1:7 000 to 1:50 000. Development of the site for recreation began in 1972 and in 1976 for water extraction. Pre-development photographs, 1938, 1960, 1968 and 1971, were stereoscopically compared and the observations were interpreted using a systems approach. From the …

Encounters of development knowledge, identities and practices: participation of faith based organisations in multi-stakeholder partnerships for HIV/AIDS mitigation in Botswana in 2003-2005
… a purely medical-based response has prompted the development of multi-stakeholder partnerships (MSPs) for HIV/AIDS mitigation. MSPs utilise an appropriate mix of health and non-health based interventions and involve a broad array of stakeholders in their design and implementation, including faith …

The Influence of Urban Soil Rehabilitation on Soil Carbon Dynamics, Greenhouse Gas Emission, and Stormwater Mitigation
… and climate change. However, typical urban land development practices including vegetation clearing, topsoil removal, stockpiling, compaction, grading and building result in degraded soils. In this work, we evaluated an urban soil rehabilitation technique that includes compost incorporation to a …
