Factors associated with women's decision to leave a male-dominated major and enter a female-dominated major
… in selecting and channeling women from male-dominated to female-dominated majors. Since academic major is linked to the kind of vocation a person pursues, scarcity of women in certain majors constitutes an obstacle to opportunity in the work force. Literature was used to develop questions for …

Plan-view evolution of wave-dominated deltas
Ocean waves are a powerful sediment transport mechanism in the coastal zone. This thesis investigates how waves shape deltaic landforms and how small scale river mouth processes affect large-scale delta morphology. I have developed and applied models of plan-view delta shape and their channel …

Nutrient dynamics in shallow tidally-dominated estuaries
… Puna and Waikareao estuaries are shallow tidally-dominated estuaries in Tauranga Harbour located on the Bay of Plenty Coast, New Zealand. Tauranga Harbour is the site of a large commercial port surrounded by urban development. The primary aim of this thesis was to determine the variations of …

Ecotoxicological Investigations in Effluent-Dominated Stream Mesocosms
… to examine contaminant impacts on effluent-dominated stream ecosystems. Stream mesocosms, fed municipal effluent from the City of Denton, TX, Pecan Creek Water Reclamation Plant (PCWRP), were treated with 0, 15 or 140 µg/L cadmium for a 10-day study in August 2000. Laboratory toxicity test …

Alternative to state dominated criminal prosecution in Namibia
Criminal proceedings, in general, are proceedings which in substance are of a criminal nature, and not of a civil nature and include, inter alia, applications for a stay of prosecution and release from detention, etc. The constitution of the Republic of Namibia protects the rights of all persons …

Long-term morphological response of tide dominated estuaries
… and creating bedforms. The planform of tide-dominated estuaries is characterized by a funnel-shaped geometry with a high width-to-depth ratio. The width of the estuarine section tends to decrease rapidly upstream, following an exponential law and the bottom slopes are generally …

Modeling techniques and control strategies for inverter dominated microgrids
… The focus of this work lies on inverter dominated microgrids, which are also mentioned as 'hybrid' in several instances throughout the thesis. Hybrid, as far as the energy input of each generator is concerned. Conventional fossil fuel based generators are connected in parallel to …

Asymptotic analysis of mass-dominated convection in a nanofluid
The threshold conditions for the onset of convection in colloidal suspensions is investigated using the particulate medium formulation. We consider a dilute liquid suspension of solid spherical particles that is confined between two horizontal plates of infinite extent placed at the vertical …

Accelerating MOEA Non-dominated Sorting by Preserving Archival Relationships
Non-dominated sorting is an important part of many multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs). It is used to determine which individuals to keep in the archive of best individuals between generations and to evaluate fitness for breeding. Because this sorting is performed after every …

Native Forb Establishment in Tall Fescue-dominated Cattle Pastures
… seed-based enrichment planting of tall fescue-dominated cattle pastures in two separate experiments: one testing a range of site preparation treatments with different seasons of sowing and comparing their effects on tall fescue suppression and seeded native plant establishment and the other …

Non-linear reduced order modeling for transport dominated fuid systems
… order reduction (MOR) can fail for transport dominated fluid systems (TDFS), because the underlying transport is often inherently non-linear. However, given that, in case of TDFS, the transported quantity changes slowly with respect to the advection speed, only few degrees of freedom (DOF) are …

Constraining the kinetically dominated Universe: Bayesian methods and primordial cosmology
… how a pre-in ationary stage that is kinetically dominated causes features in the primordial power spectrum. These features can be associated with cosmological parameters, which are then constrained using Bayesian methods and CMB data from the Planck satellite. Chapter 1 places this thesis into …

Centrifugal instability of the wake dominated curved compressible mixing layers
… number and high wave number within the wake-dominated curved compressible mixing-layer systems based on three wake flow models. An analytical Gaussian wake profile is first used to model the behaviour of the basic flow within the mixing layer at the trailing edge of the splitter plate. It is …

Periphyton-nutrient dynamics in a gradient-dominated freshwater marsh ecosystem.
In this study, the factors influencing the development of a nutrient availability gradient in a wetland ecosystem and the subsequent controls to, and feedbacks from, the structure and function of the periphyton community were investigated. Field surveys, field experiments, and a laboratory …
