An Evaluation of Radar- and Satellite-Data Based Products to Discriminate Between Tornadic and Non-Tornadic Storms
(2017-12)Severe weather, and specifically tornadoes, can pose a significant threat to property and human life. Tornadic storms have been extensively studied using radar observations for decades, and some more recent studies have ... -
Evaluation of Rolling-Type Isolation Systems for Seismic Hazard Mitigation
(2018-08)Nonstructural components within mission-critical facilities such as hospitals and telecommunication facilities are vital to a community's resilience when subjected to a seismic event. Building contents like medical and ... -
Evaluation of Seawater Intrusion using Electrical Resistivity Surveys and Geochemical Measurements in Brazoria County, Texas
(2023-05-13)Seawater intrusion is one of the world's leading causes of groundwater contamination in coastal aquifers. In the United States, relatively little research has been conducted in the Gulf Coast Region bordering the state of ... -
Evaluation of shale compressibility from NMR and MICP measurements
Compressibility is a fundamental reservoir parameter that is often overlooked in the assessment of unconventional reservoir performance. Compressibility affects the reserve, recovery, and the mechanical properties of ... -
Evaluation of Specialized Concretes for the Repair of Damaged Continuity Joints in Prestressed Girder Bridges
(2021)Precast, prestressed concrete simple span girder bridges made continuous through the use of continuity joints exhibit a great, structural advantage when dealing with additional dead and live loading across the deck. ... -
EVALUATION OF STORMWATER TREATMENT BY VARIOUS REACTIVE MEDIA FOR BIORETENTION CELL DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
(2018-05)Bioretention cells (BRC) can be effective at filtering particulate pollutants from stormwater runoff, but substantial removal of the dissolved pollutant fraction is challenging. Various reactive treatment media for BRCs ... -
Evaluation of Surface Preparation and Bond Angle Combinations for Joint Replacement using Ultra-High Performance Concrete
(2018-05-12)Deterioration of bridges is often attributed to declining performance of the longitudinal connections between precast members or transverse deck joints. Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is a cementitious composite ... -
An evaluation of the advanced maternal age experience and how it differs from optimal maternal age
(2021-05-14)Advanced maternal age pregnancy occurring at or above age 35, is a growing trend in the United States. Studies have been done to compare both risk factors and birth outcomes between optimal maternal age and advanced ... -
Evaluation of the experimental warn-on-forecast system and WoF-hybrid 3DEnVar system on short-term forecasts for 2021 real-time cases
(2022-12-16)Over the last few decades, it has become more important than ever to provide accurate forecasts for severe hazards that have become more common due to climate change effects. Over this time, several forecasting experiments ... -
An Evaluation of the Foot Tapping Test (FTT) in a Healthy Population
(2017-08)The reliability of the foot tapping test (FTT) has not been well identified in a normal healthy population. In order to make it clinically relevant, more research must be done on the FTT in healthy individuals in order to ... -
Evaluation of the Madden-Julian Oscillation and the Stratospheric Polar Vortex and Their Joint Influence on the Northern Hemisphere Extratropical Circulation
(2018-12)Multiple modes of climate variability inform long-range Northern Hemisphere (NH) winter weather prediction through their interactions with the atmosphere. Two specific modes of variability that are the focus of this study ... -
Evaluation of the Warn-on-Forecast System with Doppler Lidar and Mobile Radiosondes from TORUS2019
(2020)Doppler lidar and mobile radiosonde observations from the Targeted Observations with Radars and UAS of Supercells 2019 (TORUS2019) eld project are compared to the environ- mental guidance NSSL Warn-on-Forecast System ... -
Evaluation of Turbulence Model Performance for Simulation of Low Prandtl Number Fluids in Nuclear Reactor Cooling Systems
(2020)Nuclear energy is a promising alternative to fossil fuel energy sources. With advances to current cooling technology, nuclear energy can achieve more energy production and run more efficiently than earlier reactor designs. ... -
"EVERYDAY NATIONALISM": THE DISCURSIVE CONSTRUCTION OF AMERICAN IDENTITY
(2016-05-14)In the last century, a large body of scholarship has emerged on the subject of American national identity. I contend that another way of understanding what it means to be American might be found using the “everyday ... -
Evidence for Continuous Mediation in Facial Recognition: Implications for Theories of Eyewitness Memory
(2016-08)It has been proposed that sequential lineups are superior to simultaneous lineups because simultaneous lineups promote comparisons amongst choices (a relative judgment strategy) and sequential lineups reduce this propensity ... -
Evolution of Biomass Burning Aerosol Properties During Transport in the Southeast Atlantic Region
(2023-05-12)Biomass burning (BB) is a major source of absorbing aerosols globally and accounts for about 40% of black carbon in the atmosphere. The Southern African region contributes approximately 35% of the planet’s BB aerosol ... -
Evolution of Specific Differential Phase in Squall Lines and Corresponding Lightning Channels
(2017-08-01)Dual-polarimetric radar products have been used in observing changes and persistence of thunderstorm electric fields in relation to lightning discharges. One such product, specific differential phase (KDP), is valuable ... -
Evolution of the Hydrothermal Stage within Miarolitic Cavities in Granitic Pegmatites of California and Maine, USA
(2019-08-01)Clay and alkali feldspar samples from miarolitic cavities of the pegmatites of Maine and California provide some of the best lines of evidence for gaining a better understanding of the hydrothermal stage within the pockets. ... -
Evolution of the Structure and Dynamics of the Nocturnal Low-Level Jet after the Passage of a Cold Front and Insights into the Initiation and Maintenance of Nocturnal Convection
