Abstract:

With environmental concern growing in both affluent and developing countries, roof top ventilators, a form of natural ventilation requiring only wind energy to ensure quality air circulation and comfort is becoming a considered choice of many households and industries. Unfortunately, however, many of these ventilators have evolved through trial and error and the flow physics associated with these ventilators is barely understood. The present experimental project was, therefore, undertaken as part of UNSW- Industry collaboration program funded under an Australian Research Council Grant to explo

Abstract:

Using data from the 2013 American Community Survey, the author examines the wage returns to same-sex parenthood and their role in the sexual orientation wage gap. Specifically, he compares individuals by gender, sexual orientation, and household earner status. The importance of accounting for household specialization among heterosexual men and women is illustrated by the significant differences in returns to parenthood between heterosexuals of the same gender, but different earner statuses. The empirical results show that gay men face a fatherhood penalty for the presence of children between t

Abstract:

Sea state is a subjective quantity whose accuracy depends on an observer’s ability to translate local wind waves into numerical scales. It provides an analytical tool for estimating the impact of the sea on data quality and operational safety. Tasks dependent on the characteristics of local sea surface conditions often require accurate and immediate assessment. An attempt to automate sea state classification using eleven years of ship motion and sea state observation data is made using parametric modeling of distribution-based confidence and tolerance intervals and a probabilistic model using

Abstract:

Over the last decade, the use of multi-component seismic reflection data to study shear-wave splitting has become increasingly common within the hydrocarbon industry to determine the crack geometry of oil reservoirs. Thus, it is important to investigate the characteristics of, develop processing techniques for, and carry out case studies of shear-wave splitting in reflection surveys. I have examined the effects of anisotropic symmetry, particularly orthorhombic symmetry, on velocity variations and moveouts of split shear-waves in vertical off-symmetry planes.

This study presents two new seismic testing methods for engineering application, a new shallow seismic reflection method and Time Filtered Analysis of Surface Waves (TFASW). Both methods are described in this dissertation. The new shallow seismic reflection was developed to measure reflection at a single point using two to four receivers, assuming homogeneous, horizontal layering. It uses one or more shakers driven by a swept sine function as a source, and the cross-correlation technique to identify wave arrivals.

Abstract:

Locally resonant materials and periodic media have been recently proposed as a mean to control and redirect elastic waves at different length scale. In particular, at geophysical scale, large resonant/periodic structures have been used as an innovative solution to attenuate the propagation of seismic waves. Previous studies have shown the possibility of attenuating surface ground motions by deflecting seismic Rayleigh waves into soil bulk. This surface to bulk wave conversion has been proved in the case of homogenous soil. Here we investigate how the surface to bulk wave conversion is infl

Abstract:

Many seismic hazard source parameters such as slip rate, total displacement, strain accommodation, geographic fault location, etc. are poorly constrained in the New Madrid seismic zone (NMSZ). This is in large part due to the masking effect of the thick Mississippi embayment sediment package on seismogenic structures and features. Consequently, much of the subsurface geologic characterization needed for understanding seismic hazard sources requires geophysical imaging. Recent seismic reflection surveys 12 km NE of the Reelfoot Fault stepover arm of the NMSZ have suggested a northeast-oriented

Spring water inflow is distinct at Pah Tempe Hot Springs (also known as Dixie Hot Springs) situated within the damage zone of the Hurricane Fault in Timpoweap Canyon in Hurricane, Utah. Excising of the footwall by the Virgin River has created Timpoweap Canyon and allowed an unusual opportunity to study the spring inflow in relation to the fault damage zone. While correlation of these springs with the damage zone and visible fracture patterns on the canyon wall has been made, no subsurface faulting has been imaged to verify connection to these visible fractures and spring inflows (Nelson et al.

Abstract:

<p> Coastal erosion is an issue of concern for Louisiana, in the United States, and for all other coastal communities in the world. Among many coastal protection and restoration technologies, shoreline protection structures focus on wave reductions to prevent waves from hitting the coastal landforms directly. A novel technology called the Wave Suppression and Sediment Collection (WSSC) system focuses on solving the limitations of conventional shoreline protection structures regarding mobility, constructability, and sustainability. The primary goals of this study are to optimize the WSSC units

Abstract:

The goal of this research was to determine, in a South African context, whether there is any correlation between chief executive officer compensation and the performance of the company. For the purposes of the research , the compensation of chief executive officers was broken down into three components: salary, bonus and "other" remuneration, while company performance was measured on return on equity, return on assets and earnings per share figures. Studies on this topic have been carried out in other countries, most notably in the United States of America and the United Kingdom. It appears th

Abstract:

Waves from Ocean are a huge unexploited energy resource, and the potential for extracting energy from waves is significant. Oceanic surface waves carry a much higher energy density, sometimes by two orders of magnitude, than solar and wind. For this reason, different Wave Energy Converter (WEC) designs have been developed in recent years. Among all the technologies available to convert wave energy, the point-absorber is one of the most promising solutions today, due to its ease of both fabrication and installation. In most cases, the WEC will not be installed in single units but arranged in pa
