Goethe's Urfaust and the Enlightenment: Gottsched, Welling, and the "Turn to Magic"
… of images into a new narrative. In Georg von Welling's (1652-1727) cabbalistic work he finds a cosmogony rich with images, images that he borrows and transforms in creating his own new Faust mythology. In Welling, Goethe finds the counterpole to Gottsched, whose image-rich language provides …

Interaction between the coastal ocean and the estuarine systems
… region close to estuaries after coastal upwelling. In regions where the time-integrated upwelling and down-welling wind stresses are comparable, there exists a region in the direction of a coastal Kevin wave propagation from an estuary, where the arrival of the plume in the near-shore …

The carbon speciation in the Earth’s interior as function of pressure, temperature and oxygen fugacity
… implications for the onset of melting within up welling mantle material. Several studies have indicated that the mantle may become more reduced with depth. This means that the oxidation of elemental carbon (graphite or diamond) may occur in up welling rocks where the oxidized product is a …

The mythos of dwelling : a settlement at Kalaupapa, Molokai
… rather than hindering, our ability to dwell. J?welling has been defined as the physical and existential participation in our life-world. We dwell by gathering a world to us, a world that reflects our underlying beliefs. These beliefs are myths and they are the basis for our lives and for the act …

INTEGRATION OF NATURAL DATA WITHIN NUMERICAL MODEL TO THE GEODYNAMICS RECONSTRUCTION OF AN INNER PART OF THE ALPINE BELT.
… Adria plate) and their exhumation (driven by up- welling flow generated in a hydrated mantle wedge) could be a valid mechanism for this part of the Alps. The results are less comparable with the thermal state suggested by the natural data of the Austroalpine of the Eastern Alps.

Factors Influencing the Spatial and Temporal Distrubtion of Primary Productivity and Community Respiration in the Mississippi Coastal Estuarine Region
… regression analysis) for predicting the down welling light attenuation coefficient [Kd(P AR)] is proposed for Mississippi waters. The model is based on contributing biogeochemical parameters [suspended particulate matter (SPM), chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM), and chlorophyll-a] …

HYPORHEIC FLOW, RESIDENCE TIMES AND NITROGEN REACTIONS IN A RIFFLE-POOL SEQUENCE, TRUCKEE RIVER, NV.
… Further, the influx of surface water in down-welling zones limits the denitrification processes by increasing the oxygen concentrations of the hyporheic zone. These results illustrate the direct hydrologic and biogeochemical controls of longitudinal nitrogen cycling in the hyporheic zone of …

Optimal Warranties Under Asymmetric Information
When firms have private information on the quality of their own products, the warranty offered by a firm can convey information about product quality. Warranties also provide consumers with insurance should the product fail. Consumers face a trade-off: the desired insurance may not provide firms …

New approaches to understanding functional traits and butterfly responses to environmental changes in Europe
The geographic distributions and abundances of the butterfly fauna of Europe are changing and these changes are not uniform across these species. Trait-based approaches are being used to explain these responses to environmental change over a range of temporal and spatial scales. These have …

Engineering Performance of Polymer Amended Soils
<p>A laboratory test program was undertaken to evaluate a series of engineering properties over a range of soil types; amendment types and addition rates; and moisture contents to enhance understanding of the engineering significance of polymer amendment. Four soils were manufactured and tested …

Modeling the water consumption of Singapore using system dynamics
Water resources are essential to life, and in urban areas, the high demand density and finite local resources often engender conditions of relative water scarcity. To overcome this scarcity, governments intensify infrastructure and project demand into the future. Growth in the economy, population, …

Improving settleability and achieving biological phosphorus removal through the application of sidestream gravimetric selectors
This project utilizes hydrocyclones in wastewater treatment to select for heavier solids, and has been used before in multiple small-scale systems. This is the first implementation of hydrocyclones in a full-scale plant for the purpose of increased settleability, while also achieving enhanced …

A Qualitative Study to Examine The Effectiveness of a Citizen Advisory Committee
The question of advisory group effectiveness continues to be a topic for discussion and research. As these groups have been organized to study and give recommendations on a diversity of issues, questions have arisen in relationship to their ability to impact educational decision making. The purpose …

Fuzzy Logic-based Economic Model for Water Main Renewal
Drinking water mains are failing at accelerating rates nationwide, leaving managers without robust, consistent, validated tools to prioritize renewal projects in uncertain conditions. The research leveraged empirical pipeline data and advanced modeling technique to address the issue, beginning with …

Thin fuel film reactor testing for characterization of diesel fuel deposit formation
The need for specialized diesel fuel injectors is growing with increased efficiency and emissions regulation. These specialized fuel injectors have nozzle diameters of 150-200[mu]m which are susceptible to clogging from deposit formation. This thesis studies the deposit formation mechanisms with a …

An analysis of quadrotor flight in the urban canopy layer
This thesis presents two distinct bodies of work concerning quadrotor flight in urban wind fields. The first attempts to characterize a quadrotor's ability to exploit urban wind fields for improved flight performance. A computational fluid dynamics model is used to obtain a wind field estimate …
