Preferential and Non-Darcy Flows in the Hyporheic Zone: Surface Water-Groundwater Hydraulics and Effects on Stream Functions
… interaction can provide various stream functions including temperature regulation, nutrient cycling, pollutant attenuation, and habitat creation. However previous literature is divided on the extent and conditions of these benefits. This dissertation has explored the dominance of …

Mass transfer from spherical gas bubbles and liquid droplets moving through power-law fluids in the laminar flow regime
… creeping-flow region. The Nakano and Tien stream functions allow the Sherwood number to be determined as a function of the Peclet number, power-law index, and a viscosity ratio parameter. The Hirose and Moo-Young relation is shown to be a limiting case of this solution. Mass transfer rates …

Cavity flow past an obstacle including gravity effects
… using a finite-difference representation with stream functions as dependent variables. A computer program is developed to adjust free boundaries systematically and to facilitate numerical computation. The Helmholtz-Kirchhoff cavity model is used in this study, with sixteen primary cases …

Banking on offsets: a political ecological and eco-geomorphic analysis of Section 404 compensatory stream mitigation banking in Illinois and Missouri
… to the dredging and filling of jurisdictional streams and wetlands nationally. Section 404 oversight is triggered when an applicant—such as a land or highway developer—proposes to fill or dredge a stream or wetland as a part of their development project. As a part of their project, the …

Enhancement of Concretized Streams: Mill Creek
… has spurred much interest in ecological stream restoration. Billions of dollars are entering this field as societal and regulatory pressures are exerted upon municipalities and developers. Research suggests that stream restoration projects only consider aesthetics and economic growth as …

Specialized Signals for Spatial Attention in the Ventral and Dorsal Visual Streams
… conceived the visual system as having a ventral stream of vision for perception and a dorsal one associated with vision for action. However functional differences between them have become relatively blurred in recent years, not the least by the systematic parallel mapping of functions allowed by …
