Numerical Modeling of River Diversions in the Lower Mississippi River
… along the Upper MR. Freshwater and sediment diversions are possible options to help combat land loss. Numerical modeling of hydrodynamics and sediment transport of the MR is a useful tool to evaluate restoration projects and to improve our understanding of the resulting River response. The …

Water Quality Modeling of Freshwater Diversions in the Barataria Basin
… model that analyzes the impacts of freshwater diversions with median and high flow on the water level, salinity and nutrient concentration of the Barataria Basin over a 2 period is presented here. The model predicts that the salinity of Lower Barataria decreases with the introduction of …

Water Quality Modeling of Freshwater Diversions in the Pontchartrain Estuary
… that analyzes the general effects freshwater diversions have on the water quality of the Pontchartrain Estuary over a 17-year period is presented here. Using the modeled live algae concentrations in conjunction with the algal bloom probability model results produces an accurate prediction of …

Bulle-Effect and its implications for morphodynamics of river diversions
… elements of a fluvial (river) system, and diversions are a special type of asymmetrical bifurcation where one of the channels after bifurcation continues along the original channel. Diversions can be found in nature, though many of them are built to divert water and sediment from the river …

Sensitivity of the Estuarine-shelf Exchange in Mississippi Coastal Waters to River Diversions and Linkage Pathway Bathymetry: A Modeling Study
<p>The exchange flow between the Mississippi (MS) Sound and Bight is an intricate circulation pattern that affects many important regional processes, including flushing time, sediment transport, and larval dispersion. This study examines the exchange flow in the MS Sound by estimating the volume …

To Conceal or Reveal: left-hand pianism with particular reference to Ravel's Concerto pour la main gauche and Britten's Diversions
… pour la main gauche and Benjamin Britten's Diversions, op. 21 are two major works written specifically for the left-handed pianist; using both received and recontextualised techniques, they reveal quite different approaches to the medium. The commissioner of both was Paul Wittgenstein. His …

Numerical Simulation of Unsteady Hydrodynamics in the Lower Mississippi River
… coastal area. Several freshwater and sediment diversions have been proposed to combat the associated land loss problem. To aid in this restoration effort a 1-D numerical model was calibrated, validated, and used to predict the response of the river to certain stimuli, such as proposed …

Modeling the impacts of pulsed riverine inflows on hydrodynamics and water quality in the Barataria Bay estuary
… around the world. In Louisiana, controlled diversions of the Mississippi River water back into coastal wetlands are thought to be an important engineering solution that could reverse coastal land loss. There are concerns, however, that freshwater diversions may increase nutrient inputs and …

Interactions of insect herbivory and multiple abiotic stress agents on two wetland tree species in southeast Louisiana swamps
… call for reintroducing Mississippi River water (diversions) to increase sediment elevation, promote natural regeneration, and enhance primary and secondary productivity. In this study, insect-tree-health relationships were evaluated in field and in multifactor, greenhouse and larval rearing …

Mathematical modeling of urban water management strategies
… of agricultural rights, interbasin water diversions, and wastewater recycling. A management level urban water system model has been formulated in which a system analysis format is employed to answer some of the basic questions concerning the optimal combination of these alternative …

Hydrodynamics and freshwater diversion within Barataria Basin
… The model was run with and without freshwater diversions from the Mississippi River. When compared to observations the correlation coefficients ( ) of model water levels are larger than 0.9 at all but one station. For the hydrologic calibration, a big flood event was tested. Agreement between …

Path Prediction and Path Diversion Identifying Methodologies for Hazardous Materials Transported by Malicious Entities
… the road network. The model identifies abnormal diversions in hazmat carriers' paths considering normal diversions arising due to incidents. The second part of this thesis develops a methodology for predicting different paths that could be taken by malicious entities heading towards a target …

Benthic Community Structure Response to Flow Dynamics in Tropical Island and Temperate Continental Streams
… Hydrological alterations, such as dams, diversions, and channelizations, are associated with ecological change and known to have detrimental effects on benthic communities. As a whole, this dissertation investigated the effects of hydraulic variables on the spatial distribution of …

Product traceability in the pharmaceutical supply chain : an analysis of the auto-ID approach
… the proliferation of counterfeit drugs, product diversions, re-importations and grey markets. Ultimately, the increasing complexity of the pharmaceutical distribution could affect patient safety. The potential of the Auto-ID technology and information infrastructure to synchronize the information …

Incorporation of tropical cyclone avoidance into automated ship scheduling
… (TCs) frequently disrupt these plans, requiring diversions and inefficient steaming speeds. We evaluate the impact of adding anticipated TC positions in an operational planning tool called the Replenishment At Sea Planner. Various scenarios are used to test the impact of different geographic …
