Vegetated Swales in Urban Stormwater Modeling and Management
… exists regarding the ability of vegetated swales to simultaneously convey and reduce runoff. This study assessed the effect water quality swales distributed among upstream sub-watersheds had on watershed hydrology. The study was also posed to determine how certain design parameters can be …

Design Principles and Case Study Analysis for Low Impact Development Practices - Green Roofs, Rainwater Harvesting and Vegetated Swales
… green roofs, rainwater harvesting and bioswales. The most important component of the thesis is the qualitative analysis of various case studies based on the LID objectives drawn from the literature review for each LID practice. Through the course of my research, I found that there was no …

Performance of grassed swale as stormwater quantity control in lowland area
… control in UTHM. Flow depths and velocities of swales were measured according to Six-Tenths Depth Method shortly after a rainfall event. Flow discharges of swales (Qswale) were evaluated by Mean- Section Method to determine the variations of Manning’s roughness coefficients (ncalculate) that …

The Role of Nitrogen Availability, Hydroperiod and Litter Quality in Root Decomposition Along a Barrier Island Chronosequence
… dune soils. Variation in hydroperiod between swales did not result in different rates of Spartina patens root decay, but more nitrogen was lost under greater flooding frequency. Nitrogen availability influenced dune root litter quality and subsequent decay. Higher nitrogen content and faster …

Evaluation of stormwater BMP alternatives in the Malden River Watershed
… and cost data for bioretention systems, swales, permeable pavement, and constructed wetlands in a portion of the Malden River watershed. Due to space constraints, bioretention systems and swales were found to have limited applicability within the streets of the study site. Permeable …

A comprehensive environmental and economic sustainability assessment of roadway drainage systems
… components that did not use concrete (grass swales and bioswales). While the concrete consistently dominates environmental impacts, it does not consistently govern the total cost of the drainage system. Neither cost nor masses of materials were proven to be valid cut-off criteria; however, …

The effectiveness of certain sustainable urban drainage systems in controlling flooding and pollution from urban runoff
… in Scotland - a porous paved car park and two swales. It is the first research to provide results for such systems in the UK and also the first direct comparison between SUDS and traditional systems in situ. The aim of developing guidance on effectiveness and synthesising design recommendations …

"If we didn't know what happened, you wouldn't be sitting in that chair": Communicative Purposes and Rhetorical Actions in Canadian Police Suspect Interviews
… French (n=18). A rhetorical move-step analysis (Swales, 1990) revealed a consistent rhetorical structure which facilitates three major communicative purposes: (1) gathering significant evidence, (2) creating a clear and consistent record, and (3) supporting the admissibility of interview …

A Contrastive Rhetoric Study of Korean and English Research Paper Introductions
It seems that Swales' model is too much based too strongly on niche establishment, including gaps in previous studies, and ignores other possible ways of writing RA introductions. The CARS model is a good writing models and a good tool for the analysis of RAs; however, we might need other models or …

Para o mapeamento dos géneros académicos em Portugal: análise contrastiva de aspetos retórico-estruturais de dissertações de mestrado
… diferenças entre elas. Foi usada a proposta de Swales (2004) e Hyland (2009) para as teses de doutoramento, adaptada por Silva e Santos (2018; 2021) na classificação dos planos de texto. Foram também analisadas as Introduções e Conclusões das dissertações a partir do modelo CARS (Swales, 1990; …

Groundwater Thresholds for Root Decomposition and the Relation to Barrier Island Ecological State Changes
… periodically brackish/freshwater marshes, wooded swales, and sparsely vegetated dunes. There is strong evidence that the plant communities and ecosystem processes occurring in each habitat are primarily influenced by nutrient availability and the distance between two of the three free surfaces: …

The Effect of Evapotranspiration on the Groundwater Dome and Past Drought Conditions at Cape Henry, Virginia
… events forming a series of dunes and interdunal swales. Low-lying swales dominate the southern portion of the park forming many wetlands, but the northern portion of the park has fewer wetlands. An asymmetric groundwater dome has been observed on Cape Henry, cresting north of the geographic …

Habitat Use And Seasonal Activity Of Selected Snakes On John F. Kenned
… the highest species richness, while fences in swales captured the greatest number of individuals. The most dissimilar habitat pair was scrub and swale, while the most similar pair was ruderal and hammock. Box traps proved more effective for targeting the largest snake species, while funnel and …

What works in academic email: A genre analysis with teacher and student perspectives
… undertaking as such email is an occluded genre (Swales, 1990). Students are therefore often unfamiliar with the expectations of academic email, particularly new entrants to university and NNSs. This study undertakes a genre analysis of a corpus of student request email sent to teachers in one …

The language of the sea: a corpus driven examination of the influence of Britain's maritime tradition on standard English
… the ideas of discourse communities as defined by Swales (1999) and Teubert (2005; 2007) and how discourse is negotiated by its members. The study aims to describe the process by which the highly specialised language of the very specific discourse community of mariners has influenced the wider …

Performance Evaluation of a Low Impact Development Retrofit for Urban Stormwater Treatment
… The treatment train included four in-line grass swales followed by a bioretention cell with a gravel base. The facility retained 85% of the rainfall. Influent and effluent pollutant loads were calculated using three common substitution methods for datasets censored by values below the analytical …

The vegetational and archaeological history of the Ingleborough Massif, North Yorkshire
The Flandrian vegetational and archaeological history of the Ingleborough Massif was investigated using pollen and macrofossil analysis of peat deposits in conjunction with radiocarbon dating. A transect was taken across the massif, running northwest to south-east, and peat deposits were sampled at …

Monte-Carlo Simulation of Diffusion as an Aid to Interpreting Quasi-elastic Neutron Scattering from Lattice Gas Systems with Diffusion on Multiple Time-Scales
Pd and Pd-Ag have recently found application in hydrogen processing technologies, both in terms of purification membranes and isotope-separation systems. Direct measurement of the diffusion processes in these systems is provided by quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS); the timescales that can be …
