Urban Canopy
This thesis explores the definition of an urban canopy, how civic architecture can create a space for the pedestrian in the city, and the elements which can compose such a space. Experimentation in the urban canopy allows definition into the protective nature of such an archetype. Filtering and …

Flow regimes in canopy turbulence
… using direct numerical simulations. The term `canopy' refers to a group of substantial roughness elements protruding into the flow, which generally results in two distinct regions of interest: the near-canopy region, where the flow is directly influenced by the canopy, and the outer layer, …

From the Sacred Canopy to the Civic Canopy: Social Transformation Through Dialogue, Collaboration, and Civil Society
… more intentionally under a broader "civic canopy" as a way to help establish a new set of community norms--or a new civic operating system--that regards civil society as a type of associational ecosystem that can enable communities to better learn and adapt to the challenges they face.</p>

Under the Canopy of Small Houses
UNDER THE CANOPY OF SMALL HOUSES is a collection of poems written during my educational career at Missouri State University. It has always been my aspiration to be able to showcase my work in a small collection that is representative of me, as an individual. The poems in this collection transition …

A Case Study of Canopy Lounge
… interviews and financial records. History: The Canopy Lounge opened for business on July 1, 1972. It is owned by a corporation whose principals are Mr. John Digilio, President, and his wife. The lounge is located in the downtown business and shopping districts of Omaha, Nebraska. Hours of …

Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring with Canopy Clustering
… a novel approach to NILM through the use of canopy clustering for its main process of load disaggregation. Canopy clustering provides the necessary tools for separating out appliances and groups of appliances for later classification into individual loads, which brings many benefits compared …

Transformation of Rainfall by Plant Canopy (Erosion)
… transformed as a result of interception by plant canopy and which are important factors in models of splash detachment are drop size, drop velocity and rainfall intensity. The influence of plant canopy on drop size and on spatial redistribution of rainfall is investigated.

Negative Effects Of ComMycorrhizal Networks And Roots On Upland Oak Seedlings In Open-Canopy Woodlands And Closed-Canopy Forests
… of seedlings in the shade and growth within canopy gaps. Through the sharing of carbon and/or water between adults and seedlings, connection to a commycorrhizal network potentially provides a mechanism by which oak seedlings could persist in shade and/or grow rapidly in dry soils within …

Analyzing variation in plant canopy conversion efficiency and assessing canopy and leaf photosynthetic efficiency in soybean with reduced chlorophyll content
… content would increase εc at both the canopy and leaf level using field and microscopy techniques. In chapter one, a meta-analysis was used to statistically quantify the effects of greenhouse gases, weather-related stresses projected to intensify due to climate change, and management …

Modeling canopy structure effects on loblolly pine growth
This study examined several aspects of canopy structure and their influence on growth of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantations. Foliage distribution, crown hydraulic architecture, and the effect of chronological changes in canopy structure on stand development were explored as possible …

Genotypic and Environmental Effects on Soybean Canopy Photosynthesis
… controlling soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) canopy photosynthetic CO$\sb2$-exchange rates (CER) using automatic mobile transparent chambers. In the first study, CER from chlorophyll-deficient, near-isogenic lines were compared with the normal pigmented wild-type. Periods were identified when …

Crop Canopy Effects on Kochia Establishment in Crop Fields
<p>Kochia (Kochia scoparia) is getting difficult to manage in central South Dakota as biotypes resistant to glyphosate and ALS-inhibiting herbicides are becoming common. To effectively address the issue of resistant kochia in crop fields, we carried out studies to understand the biology of kochia …

Multispectral canopy reflectance and digital imaging to determine maturity
… of soybean canopies were characterized using canopy reflectance and digital imaging tools. Field experiments were conducted in 2014 and 2015 at two Missouri locations to characterize canopy characteristics of six commercial soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivars – two cultivars each of …

Quantifying genotypic and environmental factors affecting potato canopy growth
… to the tubers as yield. Variation in potato canopy growth can be analysed using non-destructive measurements and the size of the canopy determines radiation interception. Proportion of soil covered by green leaves (percentage of ground covered, GC) is a simple proxy for light intercepted. Two …

The influence of acacias on below canopy grass communities
… juveniles, adults and dead trees) on sub-canopy grass communities was investigated at various sites in the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Park (HUP). There were significant differences between classes (at p < 0.05} to each other and to the open sites, but to differing extents at the different rainfall …

Urban Tree Canopy Assessments in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed
An urban tree canopy assessment (UTCA) is a new technology that can inform management decisions to optimize the economic, social and environmental benefits provided by urban forests. A UTCA uses remote sensing to create a comprehensive spatial snapshot of a locality's land cover, classified at a …

A field investigation of diffusion within a submerged plant canopy
… ambient flow on diffusivity within a tidal marsh canopy, specifically Spartina alterniflora. Vegetation densities from 0-1.4% stem coverage and flows from 2-12 cm/sec were investigated using Rhodamine WT tracer, with resultant measured diffusivities ranging from approximately 0.5-3.0 cm2/sec. …
