Training workshop for participating in outreach at the Rocky Mountain Camp for Dyslexic Kids
This workshop provided a brief overview of dyslexia and its impact on learning and also covered the nuts and bolts of developing, deploying, documenting, and planning teaching modules for outreach at the Rocky Mountain ... -
Developing a system to measure rheology of conditioned soil for soft-ground TBM tunneling
Driven by the unprecedented process of urbanization across the globe and rise of need in infrastructure such as transportation, water, sewer, utilities, storage space, etc., the world has witnessed rapid expansion of the ... -
Finding order in chaos -- a multi scale study of mass-transport deposits
Even in chaos, there is a pinch of order. This research compiles the research collaborations investigating deposits from siliciclastic submarine failures—also known as mass transport complexes (MTCs) or deposits (MTDs)—using ... -
Advanced perfluorinated anion exchange membrane polymers and their issues in electrochemical conversion devices
After decades of dedicated efforts in research and development of the polymer electrolyte membranes for electrochemical conversion devices, the technology is nearing their large-scale commercialization. Improvements like ... -
Predicting mining company - stakeholder conflict and incorporating social conditions into mining project valuation
External stakeholders are becoming increasingly involved in mine design and permitting decision-making. Yet, the systems in which mining investment decisions take place do not fully capture the importance of stakeholder ... -
Evolving subsurface connectivity in arctic and alpine ecosystems : the impact of permafrost and seasonally frozen ground
Arctic and alpine ecosystems are experiencing increases in the ubiquity and severity of landscape level disturbances, and changes in the near-surface energy budget including rising air temperatures, ecological shifts, and ... -
Heat transfer mechanisms in highly porous fibrous insulation from vacuum to high pressures -- experiment and modeling
Highly porous fibrous ceramics are widely used as insulating materials in thermal systems due to their high temperature limits and light weight. An experimental apparatus, using the radial flow method, has been developed ... -
Intermittent gas lift for liquid loaded horizontal wells in tight shale gas reservoirs
As the near-wellbore pressure of tight gas shale formations, drops sharply within the first two years of production, the gas entering the completion slows down, reducing its capacity to drag liquids to the surface. This ... -
Optimization-based procedures for underground mine planning
There is need for greater collaboration across the disciplines of mining, geology, operations research, statistics, and computer science to improve underground mine planning. Active areas of research include, inter alia: ... -
On the solution of discrete-valued inverse problems through guided fuzzy c-means clustering
Geophysical inversion is a valuable tool for construction and interpretation of subsurface physical property models. Traditional inverse formulations recover smooth models, hindering interpretation of different units. ... -
Chalcogenide-based van der Waals-layered materials for enhanced electronic and electromechanical properties
Since the successful isolation of graphene via mechanical exfoliation at room temperature, other van der Waals (vdW)-layered or quasi-2D materials have gained significant interest in the scientific and technological ... -
Ground-structure interaction of twin bored tunnels and cross-passages in soft ground pressure balance tunneling
With the increasing demand for tunnels in sensitive urban environments, pressure balance mechanized tunneling is employed in most soft ground tunnel construction projects. Segmental tunnel lining is used in pressure balance ... -
Iterative stochastic optimization for large-scale machine learning and statistical inverse problems
The twentieth century saw mathematical modeling transition from an intellectual pursuit to an invaluable tool for governments and other large organizations, enabling previously unimaginable feats and reshaping the global ... -
Data-driven approach to calculating nodal net load forecasts in power systems analysis, A
The electric power grid is one of the largest and most complex systems ever built for the benefits of humanity. Most of the modern world relies heavily upon this system, and its unavailability may result in severe economic, ... -
Geospatial and logistic regression assessment of factors contributing to backwards erosion piping
Backwards erosion piping (BEP) is a form of internal erosion which frequently undermines dams, levees, and other water control structures by removing material from the foundation. The hazard manifests within specific ground ... -
Effects of metastable austenite and martensite on the susceptibility to hydrogen embrittlement of TBF steels, The
A series of four experimental TRIP-aided bainitic ferrite (TBF) sheet steels was used to investigate the influence of microstructure (in particular secondary phase austenite) on hydrogen absorption and hydrogen embrittlement ... -
Towards airborne measurements of ground displacement
Valuable resources and risk assessments are realized by mapping variations of the physical composition and structure at the surface and in the subsurface of the Earth. A key measurement for realizing these benefits is ... -
Practical viability of rainwater harvesting for outdoor use : water quality, water law, and climate change
Rainwater harvesting (RWH) is a localized renewable water supply alternative that minimizes the necessary resources for beneficial use. Estimates for RWH potential vary, and past studies conclude that accurate modeling ... -
From pore-scale to watershed : parameterizing heterogeneous rock properties across scales to inform predictive environmental models
Mountainous watersheds throughout the United States are going to change in the future due to continued shifts in land use and climate patterns, and it is imperative that scientists understand how current systems operate ... -
Measuring the neon-20 radiative proton capture rate at DRAGON
Understanding the abundance levels of isotopes produced in oxygen-neon (ONe) novaewithin our galaxy requires accurate measurements of nuclear reaction rates within theirassociated reaction networks. During these cataclysmic ...
