Abstract:

Parametric methods, currently used in regional flood frequency analysis, have numerous drawbacks and limitations, especially with regard to flood distribution selection and regional relationship form. Alternative approaches involving nonparametric methods are investigated in this thesis on a set of New Brunswick annual maximum floods. Nonparametric methods were employed at the three steps of regional analysis: at-site flood frequency analysis, homogeneous region delineation and regional relationship development. Nonparametric flood frequency analysis indicated that an annual maximum flood data

Abstract:

Anthropogenically induced changes to the Earth's climate system are widely accepted to be one of the greatest threats to the sustainable future of humanity. Greenhouse gas emissions constitute the largest driving factor behind these changes, and with annual emissions still increasing further perturbation is projected. Accurate quantification of these emissions, broken down both spatially and sectorally, is vitally important in guiding effective policy for emission reduction at both national and international levels. This thesis focusses on methods to improve top-down estimates for greenhouse g

Abstract:

This dissertation is concerned with the development of mathematical aquifer models that combine hydrological, hydrochemical and isotopic data. One prerequisite for the construction of such models is that prior information about the variables and parameters be quantified in space and time by appropriate statistical methods. Various techniques using multivariate statistical data analyses and geostatistical methods are examined in this context. The available geostatistical methods are extended to deal with the problem at hand. In particular, a three-dimensional interactive geostatistical package

We develop statistical methods for evaluation of regional variation of ecological stressor-response relationships, and regional variation in temporal profiles of water quality, for application to data from monitoring stations on bodies of water. To evaluate regional variation in regression relationships, we use model-based clustering procedures with class-specific regression models. Units for clustering are taken to be basins, or combinations of basins and ecoregions. We rely on a Bayesian formulation and sample the posterior distribution using a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm. Two gen

Probability distributions are created for particle transport using trajectories from urban areas, making six-hourly particle distributions available from four urban areas in Texas.

Abstract:

“Public participation” takes on various forms in the realm of local government planning. Many planners stand behind the ideal of involving community, but participation in practice often fails to achieve this objective. The primary vehicle for local government participation is the public hearing, which is a formalized process that often elicits one-way communication from planner to public. The nature of a hearing is to inform the public about development applications or policy changes, expose governing body decisions to the public, and elicit reactions from interested members of the public.

It is also important to understand the end-users’ temporal variation in water demand. Failure of the system to provide the required volume of water at the required flow-rate is deemed a system failure. The system therefore needs to be designed with sufficient capacity to ensure that it is able to supply the required volume of water during the highest demand periods. In practice, bulk water supply systems do not have

The necessary information in between these updates is obtained by using linear interpolation techniques.

There was no difference between standardization methods at decadal or annual time scales. We found that the detectability of systematic forcings was heavily dependent on amplitude and wavelength of the input signal

Abstract:

This research aimed to find strategic methods in community engagement related to regional sustainable development, specifically within the context of regions in Europe and North America that are applying for the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve designation. The Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development was presented as a planning framework that can fill gaps in the current Biosphere Reserve planning process. A tool for assessing community engagement based on the five Process Characteristics of transparency, cooperation, openness, inclusiveness, and involvement was created and used to explore com

Abstract:

INTRODUÇÃO: A monitorização da ventilação em transplante pulmonar depende de medidas estáticas e globais a partir de testes de função pulmonar e tomografia computadorizada, o que não é suficiente para detectar alterações regionais no parênquima pulmonar, que podem ser relevantes na avaliação de diferentes causas de comprometimento funcional. Tomografia de Impedância Elétrica (TIE) é uma técnica não-invasiva e livre de radiação com base na medição do potencial elétrico na superfície da parede torácica. O comportamento dinâmico e as informações quantitativas extraídas de imagens da TIE tornam po

Abstract:

The Wider Caribbean Region does not have a regional waste management strategy. An integrated approach to waste management throughout the region would benefit many economic sectors, safeguard people’s health and improve environmental quality. Numerous studies, above all a project conducted in 1994 by the World Bank, pointed out that one of the main reasons why such strategy has not been developed yet lies in the scarce availability of data in the waste management sector. Through on field researches and the analysis of institutional reports, the objective of the present study is defining the rea

Abstract:

Over the past decade, population-based cancer registry data have been used increasingly worldwide to evaluate and improve the quality of cancer care. The utility of the conclusions from such studies relies heavily on the data quality and the methods used to analyse the data. Interpretation of comparative survival from such data, examining either temporal trends or geographical differences, is generally not easy. The observed differences could be due to methodological and statistical approaches or to real effects. For example, geographical differences in cancer survival could be due to a number
