Let the Gaussian process Xm(t) be the m-fold integrated Brownian motion for positive integer m. The Laplace transform of the quadratic functional of Xm(t) is found by using an appropriate self-adjoint integral operator. ...

This thesis presents a study where the objective is the development of an appropriate statistical acceptance procedure for the Delaware Department of Transportation. DELDOT's modification of its specifications for the ...

Over the past two decades, the relationship between the quality of school libraries and student performance has been the focus of dozens of state-level studies. Simply stated, these studies confirm that access to high-quality ...

The study of fluid mechanics and its applications is a growing and vastly changing field. The ability to determine how water moves and how this movement causes the bed underneath to react is still very uncertain. Many ...

Erosion is a very real problem facing many beaches. Sediment transport in one particular coastal region, the swash zone, is particularly important for understanding coastal erosion. Sediment transport cannot be measured ...

While the use of biochar in stormwater management and as a soil amendment is gaining popularity, quantification of biochar in soil is still challenging. The objective of this work was to develop a simple and inexpensive ...

At the request of the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), the Water Resources Agency (WRA), a unit of the University of Delaware’s Institute for Public Administration, developed a ...

Subaerial erosion of riverbank sediments in the Mid-Atlantic region of the eastern United States is of particular concern with regard to sediment supply and water quality. One process heretofore understudied in this region ...
