▼ This study sought to explore the access and alteration “rules experience” within an Ontario wetlands case study framework. The study interviewed two key stakeholder groups, key-involved stewardship agencies and key-identified wetland property owners, and aggregated them as a single response group. There were significant overlaps between these groups and the final identified potential respondent group was thirteen. All potential respondents were invited to participate in a detailed exploration of the rules experience via a thorough semi-structured interview process within the existing context of a Long Point, Ontario study area. For their own specified reasons, eight of thirteen identified and invited potential respondents chose to provide a response for analysis. It was imagined that very specific questions about each discovered rule in the study area might provide insight into to effect and understanding of specific rule characteristics within the study area; however, nothing exceptional was revealed with respect to rule characteristics using a small detailed study group. Study area respondents appeared to have focused and specific knowledge of a collection of study area rules (often within their direct interest), but few respondents had a relatively comprehensive knowledge of the entire alteration and access rules framework. The most interesting results within in the interview process, including the most interest in response provision by respondents, centred more generally on wetland management- with emphasis on private and public management initiatives. In this theme, while generally supportive of the apparent goals of the existing rules, respondents were divided as to how management should actually function within the study area. Despite interest by both key informant groups in wetland conservation and maintenance, the application of public rules on private and/or organized wetland spaces occasionally appear to conflict. During the study, there appeared to be much more interest in wetland alteration rules, and, expectedly, a strongly expressed desire to have these rules more carefully scrutinized and adapted to the study area. The study area is fortunate to have a history of public and private interest in wetland conservation; this study highlights the need for these similarly interested groups to work together to reconcile the differences in expected applications of public rules.

▼ The Texas Gulf Coast region possesses numerous complex fault structures. This case study focused on the Long-Point Fault, an active fault located in west Houston; with 16 kilometers of length, it is the longest fault within the region. This fault causes recurring damage to roadways, buried pipes, and buildings along the fault trace, resulting in a financial burden for taxpayers. This study employed a high-resolution LiDAR map depicting precise locations of principal fault systems within the greater Houston metropolitan area. Georeferencing was combined with a high-accuracy kinematic GPS technique in order to establish the precise fault trace of the Long-Point Fault. Field investigations verified that the fault scarp mapped by the 2001 airborne LiDAR mapping of Houston coincides with the surface trace of the Long-Point Fault. To establish surface fault motion, eleven permanent GPS stations were installed for continuous GPS monitoring in 2012. To enhance spatial resolution, twenty-six benchmarks were installed along the Long-Point fault trace and were reoccupied in monthly surveys. Daily GPS observations from 2012–2014 were processed using both relative (double differencing) and absolute (precise point) positioning methods. Two years of GPS observations indicate that the Long-Point Fault area is experiencing subsidence. All GPS stations along the Long-Point Fault observed subsidence rated ranging from 1–7 mm/year as well as strong vertical seasonal variation, 4 cm peak to peak. Minor horizontal movements at 1–4 mm/yr, referenced to the stable Houston reference frame (SHRF), were observed at several GPS stations; however, no coherent fault motion was observed along the length of the fault surface trace. Groundwater data from water wells near the Long-Point Fault area were obtained and examined for possible correlation with subsidence. At the end of 2014, the groundwater levels in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the Long-Point Fault area are 50–53 m and 69–106 m below the ground surface, respectively. Daily depth to groundwater level for the Chicot and Evangeline aquifer system show correlation between aquifer recharge, and withdrawal, and vertical seasonal variation exhibited by all installed GPS stations along the Long-Point Fault. The Chicot and Evangeline ground water levels have been increasing in this area since 2000, but are still below the regional preconsolidation of ~30 m below the ground surface, contributing to the subsidence observed. While correlation between seasonal vertical movement and groundwater level change exists, a longer period of continuous GPS observations will be able to provide more information about the activity of the fault.

▼ Water and sanitation are two of the world's most urgent current challenges (Elimelech, 2006). With a population racing towards seven billion people, over one sixth of the human population does not have access to adequate water and sanitation. Drinking water is inaccessible for approximately 783 million people living in the developing world (WHO, 2014). This is especially critical for people at risk of exposure to deadly pathogens such as Vibrio cholerae, Shigella, and Salmonella, such as those living in Haiti as Vibrio cholerae is now ubiquitous (Enserink, 2010). On the sanitation side, more than 2.5 billion people in the world still lack access to adequate resources (WHO, 2014). Almost half of these people have access to no sanitation facilities at all and practice open defecation (WHO, 2014). Thousands of small children still die every day from preventable diseases caused by inadequate sanitation (WHO, 2014). As global climate change is expected to exacerbate these issues, there is an urgent need for the development of sustainable treatment technologies to ensure a better tomorrow for our world (Ford, 1999). Safe water and sanitation technologies, while often disjointed, should be considered together as pathogens transmitted via drinking water are predominantly of fecal origin (Ashbolt, 2004; Montgomery, 2007). In this dissertation project, I explore the use of both drinking water and wastewater treatment technologies which are cost effective and rely on locally available materials in low-income countries. For the drinking water treatment side, I focus on the use of biosand filters in Haiti with a specific interest in understanding their ability to remove the pathogen Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent for cholera. The wastewater treatment technology consists of biofilters packed with cocopeat, a waste product generated during coconut husk processing, and I investigate their use for the treatment of septic tank effluent in Vietnam. Both of these projects combine lab and field work. The specific objectives of this dissertation project are to 1) compare the removal efficiency of V. cholerae to indicator bacteria in field biosand filters and determine the parameters controlling removal; 2) investigate the correlation between removal efficiency of pathogens in field biosand filters having operated for varying lengths of time to schmutzdecke bacterial composition and influent water characteristics; 3) determine the effect of number of charges, total organic carbon loading, and schmutzdecke composition on V. cholerae removal efficacy; 4) isolate the effect of biological removal mechanisms and physical/chemical removal mechanisms on V. cholerae removal efficiency and determine the correlation to TOC concentration in water; 5) evaluate cocopeat as a packing medium for biofilters in terms of nitrogen, phosphorus and biological oxygen demand removal from simulated wastewater as… Advisors/Committee Members: Gunsch, Claudia K (advisor).

▼ In this thesis, the main concern is to analyse change-points in a non-parametric regression model. More specifically, the analysis is focussed on the estimation of the location of jumps in the first derivative of the regression function. These change-points will be referred to as kinks. The estimation method is closely based on the zero-crossing technique (ZCT) introduced by Goldenshluger, Tsybakov and Zeevi (2006). The work of Goldenshluger et al. (2006) was aimed at estimating jumps in the regression function in the indirect non-parametric regression model and shown to be optimal in the minimax sense. Their analysis was applied in practice by Cheng and Raimondo (2008) whereby a class of kernel functions is constructed to use ZCT with a kernel smoothing implementation. Moreover, Cheng and Raimondo (2008) adapted the technique to estimating kinks from a fixed design model with i.i.d. errors. The thesis extends the aforementioned kink estimation technique in two ways. The first extension is to include a long-range dependent (LRD) error structure in the fixed design scenario. The rate of convergence of the resultant LRD method is shown to be reliant on the level of dependence and the smoothness of the underlying regression function. This rate of convergence is shown to be optimal in the sense of the minimax rate. The second extension is to include a regression model with random design and LRD structures. The random design regression models considered include an i.i.d. random design with LRD errors and a separate model with a LRD design with i.i.d. errors. For the case of LRD design variables, the rate of convergence for the estimator is again reliant on the level of dependence and the smoothness of the regression function. However, interestingly for the case of i.i.d. design and LRD errors, the rate of convergence is shown to not rely on the level of dependence but only rely on the smoothness of the regression function and in fact agrees with the minimax rate for fixed design with i.i.d. errors. To conclude, it is summarised where original work occurs in this thesis. Firstly, the extension of the ZCT to the fixed design framework with LRD noise arose with discussions with my initial Ph.D. supervisor Dr Marc Raimondo before his passing. The method is based on the technique proposed by Cheng and Raimondo (2008) but the mathematical analysis and development of the extension to the LRD framework and its minimax optimality is my own work. For the second extension which covers the random design regression framework, the main idea and premise arose through discussions with Assistant Professor Rafal Kulik. I wish it to be known that although the published versions of the work are in joint names with Assistant Professor Kulik, the great bulk of the mathematical analysis and development presented in this thesis is my own. Finally my current supervisor's contribution, Professor N. C. Weber, has been to provide direction in terms of checking the accuracy, clarity and style of the work.

▼ The geographic isolation of populations can result in a metapopulation effect where regional dynamics of extinction and colonization are more important to population viability than local dynamics of individuals' birth or death. When this partial isolation is maintained for many generations genetic variability can be geographically structured. Populations of temperate-zone anuran amphibians are often considered to be geographically isolated on relatively small spatial scales due to the animals presumed high site fidelity and strict dependence on moisture for respiration and breeding. As a result, temperate, pond-breeding anuran amphibian populations are considered likely candidates to test hypotheses of metapopulation theory, movement and phylogeography. Using data from the Fowler's toad, (Bufo fowleri) I test the applicability of metapopulation theory, the likelihood of limited movement and the strength of phylogeographic structure. Specifically, I show that the generalization of the amphibians-as-metapopulations paradigm, due to their limited dispersal capabilities, is not supported (I). Bufo fowleri movement is well described by an inverse power function. Whereas most individuals do not move, some move long distances. There is no sex bias to this movement and I propose the hypothesis that the animals moving the longest distances are aided by the passive action of lake currents (II). B. fowleri juveniles are not a dispersal stage. They move neither farther nor faster than adults. The observation of predominantly juvenile contribution to a dispersal pool is due to their abundance – there are simply many more juveniles than adults (III). My observations of amphibian population turnover do not support the predictions of two specific metapopulation models when parameterized on a local (<10km) or regional scale (~300km) (IV). B. fowleri populations in Canada exhibit both shallow and deep phylogeographic structure. The shallow divisions are geo Advisors/Committee Members: Green, David M. (advisor).

▼ Polyelectrolytes are long molecules composed of chains of charged monomers. When a substrate with a net surface charge is dipped into an oppositely charged polyelectrolyte solution, a single layer of molecules will be electrostatically deposited onto the substrate. Because the surface charge now appears to match the charge of the solution, no further deposition occurs. However, the process can be repeated by rinsing the substrate and immersing in a solution with the opposite charge. This technique forms ionic self-assembled multilayers (ISAMs), which can be assembled with nanometer-level control over thickness. The flexibility of polymer chemistry allows ISAMs to be formed from polyelectrolytes with a wide variety of properties. Additionally, the technique can easily incorporate other nanoscale materials, such as nanoparticles, clay platelets, and biological molecules, and has been investigated for applications ranging from dye-sensitized organic solar cells to drug delivery and medical implant coatings. This dissertation presents two applications of ISAM films. In one, ISAM films were used to tune and functionalize an optical biosensor for Brucella. Brucellosis primarily infects livestock, in which it causes significant reproductive problems leading to economic losses, but can also cause flu-like symptoms and more serious complications in humans. A rapid, sensitive test for Brucella is required to monitor herds and adjacent wild carriers, such as elk and bison. Optical biosensors, which operate by detecting changes due to the interaction between light and the stimulus, could satisfy this need. Long period fiber gratings (LPGs) are periodic modulations induced in the core of an optical fiber that cause transmitted light to be scattered at a resonant wavelength, resulting in attenuation. Conventional LPGs respond to changes in strain, temperature, or external refractive index by shifting their resonant wavelength. When special conditions are met, an LPG may exhibit a turn-around point (TAP), where dual peaks coalesce into a single peak with a constant wavelength but variable attenuation depth. TAP-LPGs are more sensitive than ordinary LPGs, and could be developed into inexpensive sensors with single-wavelength light sources and detectors. In this work, ISAMs were deposited onto an LPG to tune it near its TAP. Segments of single-stranded DNA, called hybridization probes, that were specific to individual species of Brucella were attached to the ISAM film before the sensor was exposed to lysed bacterial cultures. It was found that the sensor could distinguish between Brucella and other types of bacteria, but was less successful at distinguishing between Brucella species. The project was limited by the available TAP-LPGs, which had less dynamic range than those used in prior work by this group. Attempts were made to establish a new supply of TAP-LPGs by fabrication with a CO2 laser, but these efforts were unsuccessful due to poor laser stability. The second project discussed in this dissertation investigated ISAM films as… Advisors/Committee Members: Heflin, James Randy (committeechair), Tao, Chenggang (committee member), Pitt, Mark L.

▼ We study statistical inference for a class of non-stationary time series with time-dependent variances. Due to non-stationarity and the large number of unknown parameters, existing methods that are developed for stationary or locally stationary time series are not applicable. Based on a self-normalization technique, we address several inference problems, including self-normalized Central Limit Theorem, self-normalized cumulative sum test for change-point problem, long-run variance estimation through blockwise self-normalization, and self-normalization based wild bootstrap for non-stationary time series. Monte Carlo simulation studies show that the proposed self-normalization based methods outperform stationarity based alternatives. We demonstrate the proposed methodology using two real data sets: annual mean precipitation rates in Seoul during 1771–2000, and quarterly U.S. Gross National Product growth rates during 1947–2002. In the literature on change-point analysis, much attention has been paid to detecting changes in certain marginal characteristics, such as mean, variance, and marginal distribution. For time series data with nonparametric time trend, we study the change-point problem for the autocovariance structure of the unobservable error process. To derive the asymptotic distribution of the cumulative sum test statistic, we develop substantial theory for uniform convergence of weighted partial sums and weighted quadratic forms. Our asymptotic results improve upon existing works in several important aspects. The performance of the test statistic is examined through simulations and an application to interest rates data. To model the frequently observed nonstationarity phenomena in social and scientific fields, we propose a class of time-varying exogenous autoregressive models. While the model exhibits nonparametric time-varying dependence structure over a long time span, the model dynamics possess local stationarity within each small time interval. Furthermore, the model can incorporate important external nonstationary inputs to model the main time series of interest. These features allow for theoretical tractability as well as flexible applications. For nonparametric estimation of the coefficient functions, it is shown that the local linear estimation can adapt to the unknown nonstationarity, whereas the local constant estimation is strongly affected by the local stationarity. Some practically important inference and hypothesis testing problems are investigated. To better take into account the nonstationarity and dependence, we propose a sieve-wild bootstrap by combining the ideas from both the sieve and the wild bootstrap. The methodology is illustrated through both Monte Carlo simulations and an application to the stock return-inflation puzzle using the S&P 500 index and Consumer Price Index data during 1982–2012.

▼ This study aims to (1) establish a stable local reference frame (Houston16) for integrating all available GPS observations within the Houston metropolitan area and conducting precise subsidence and faulting monitoring over time and space, (2) evaluate the effects of groundwater withdrawal on land subsidence, and (3) assess the possible effect of petroleum production on ongoing minor subsidence within Galveston County. In order to realize Houston16, 15 long-term (> 5 years) stable GPS stations outside the greater Houston area were selected as reference stations. The precision (stability) of the local reference frame is less than 1 mm/year. Long-term observations from approximately 200 GPS and 13 extensometer stations indicate that the southeast Houston area has ceased subsiding at historic rates (< 3 mm/year) as a result of groundwater withdrawal regulations, but to the north and in western portions of the Houston metropolitan area subsidence bowls have developed and are expanding. Moderate subsidence (2 to 3 cm/year) is currently occurring in The Woodlands, Jersey Village, and Katy areas. Slight land uplift at the level of 2 to 3 mm/year has also been observed along the Houston Ship Channel and within the Houston downtown area. Groundwater level measurements from 170 wells screened in the Chicot aquifer and 320 wells screened in the Evangeline aquifer were investigated in order to evaluate the interaction between land subsidence and groundwater level change. The results further verify that groundwater withdrawal is the primary driver of land subsidence within the greater Houston area. Subsidence of 5 to 9 mm/year was observed within the southeastern region of Galveston County near the city of La Marque from 2005 to 2012, despite that groundwater levels within the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers have been restored to the preconsolidation head and have remained stable for over two decades. In order to evaluate the contribution of petroleum withdrawal to the local subsidence, 3,570 petroleum wells across 457 leases and 217 fields within Galveston County were investigated. Production from these petroleum wells includes the gas, condensate and oil fractions. Within the localized subsiding area, 2.7 times more petroleum was produced per square mile compared to the surrounding area that had not experienced subsidence during the period from 2005 to 2012. After peak production in 2004, petroleum withdrawal was gradually reduced, but subsidence continued until 2013, and then localized subsidence decreased to its current rate of 3 mm/year. The results suggest that petroleum withdrawal could be the primary cause of the localized subsidence observed from 2005 to 2012.

▼ The Houston metropolitan area, and more broadly the Gulf Coast in general, has numerous normal faults that have caused damage to anthropogenic structures on or near the Earth's surface. These faults offset soft sediments, and as a result very little seismic energy is accumulated to produce destructive earthquakes. However, creeping along these faults causes moderate to severe damage to hundreds of residential, commercial, and industrial structures that are part of the infrastructure in the Houston area. The damages require constant repairs that burden private citizens, businesses, and government agencies. Precise surface traces of these faults are notoriously difficult to map due to the easily eroded lithology and constant reworking of the surface by human activities. In this case study, LiDAR data collected from the 2001 Tropical Storm Allison Recovery Project was used to distinguish the precise trace of the Long Point Fault, which is a well-known active fault that spans much of the northwest and west part of the Houston metropolitan area. To determine the kinematics of the Long Point Fault, 11 Continuous GPS (CGPS) stations were installed along most of the fault. All of these CGPS stations were mounted on concrete or masonry buildings. The CGPS stations are within close proximity to each other. The average distance between them is 4.8 km. The sites are on both the footwall (6) and the hanging wall (5). All sites are within 1 km of the fault surface trace. The average distance from the fault is 0.33 km. GPS data were processed using both Precise Point Positioning (PPP) and Double Difference (DD) methods; the PPP solutions were converted to the Stable Houston Reference Frame (SHRF) from the original IGS08 reference frame. The double difference solutions show a slight relative movement between the UTEX site and HCC2 site in the north-south direction. The PPP results imply a slight common displacement trend in the east-west direction in the study area since 2013, which may be a segment of a periodical seasonal (annual or semi-annual) movement or a movement associated with fault creeping. A longer history of continuous observations (e.g. >3 years) will help to precisely delineate the kinematics of the Long Point Fault.

▼ The polluted agricultural wastewater, after reaching marine recipients, can cause eutrophication. This problem can be tackled and mitigated by using constructed wetlands as water treatment systems. The fact that constructed wetlands work through long periods of time has led many scientists to evaluate how long they can still treat their influents effectively. The development and growth of vegetation and the accumulation of nutrients on the soils in a wetland are expected to occur. These processes change the wetland efficiency to remove pollutants. In this study, a set of wetlands constructed to treat agricultural wastewater were analyzed in different periods to assess if there is a difference in removal efficiency of nitrogen and phosphorus. This assessment was performed by analyzing the retention rate, k and k₂₀ values, which are variables that quantify the nutrients removal, in different periods of each employed wetland. Some of the observations demonstrated differences when comparing different periods of the wetlands. The nitrogen removal presented better performance in one of the employed wetlands when this was older. Another employed wetland has not shown a clear difference between different periods. In the wetlands with high vegetation densities, the nitrogen removal was more stable over consecutive years. The occurrence of oscillations in nitrogen removal was observed more often in the wetlands with the highest vegetation densities over consecutive years. The phosphorus removal presented no clear differences between different periods. The results suggest that the removal of nitrogen improves after wetland creation due to the growth of vegetation. In addition, they suggest that wetlands with high vegetation densities tend to oscillate the nitrogen removal more or less often according to the density of the vegetation due to the balance between denitrification and decomposition. Further, the results suggest that the removal of phosphorus remains unchanged over longer periods than the periods considered in this study (four to six years) due to the deposition of organic matter on the soils.

▼ Amphibians develop in aquatic environments where they are very susceptible to the effects of pesticides and other environmental contaminants. Glyphosate-based herbicides are widely used and have been shown to affect survival and development of tadpoles under laboratory conditions. The goal my thesis is to determine if agriculturally relevant exposure to Roundup WeatherMax®, a herbicide formulation containing the potassium salt of glyphosate and an undisclosed surfactant, influences the survival and development of wood frogs tadpoles (Lithobates sylvaticus) under both laboratory and field conditions. In the field, experimental wetlands were divided in half using an impermeable curtain so that each wetland contained a treatment and control side. Tadpoles were exposed to two pulses of this herbicide at environmentally realistic concentration (ERC, 0.21 mg acid equivalent (a.e.)/L) and predicted environmental concentrations (PEC, 2.89 mg a.e./L), after which survival, growth, development, and expression of genes involved in metamorphosis were measured. Results indicate that exposure to the PEC is extremely toxic to tadpoles under laboratory conditions but not under field conditions. Results from both experimental conditions show sublethal effects on growth and development, and demonstrate that ERC of glyphosate-based herbicides have the potential to alter hormonal responses during metamorphosis. My secondary objectives were to compare the effects of Roundup WeatherMax® to the well-studied Vision® formulation (containing the isopropylamine (IPA) salt of glyphosate and POEA), and to determine which ingredient(s) are responsible for the sublethal effects on development. Survival, growth and gene expression results indicate that Roundup WeatherMax® has greater toxicity than Vision® formulation. Contrary to my prediction, results suggest that, under realistic exposure scenarios, POEA is not the sole ingredient responsible for the observed developmental effects. However, my results demonstrate that chronic exposure to the POEA surfactant at the PEC (1.43 mg/L) is extremely toxic to wood frog tadpoles in laboratory. As part of the Long-term Experimental Wetlands Area (LEWA) project, this research contributes to overall knowledge of the impacts of glyphosate-based herbicides on aquatic communities.

▼ It is unclear if impacts to jurisdictional wetlands in the United States are mitigated commensurately to ensure that the no net loss goal of the Clean Water Act is being met. Similarly, the effect of judicial interpretation and ruling is not clear on the status of regulatory jurisdiction. Therefore, this study sought to answer these questions by mining data from the regulatory agency responsible for regulating wetlands - the US Army Corps of Engineers. Data was obtained in nine watersheds adjoining the Texas Gulf Coast. In addition, data was obtained from the Galveston District Army Corps of Engineers three years before and three years after the Rapanos’ Supreme Court ruling to determine the effect of the ruling on jurisdictional wetlands. The Texas Gulf Coastal Prairies (TXGCP) is home to the Texas Coastal Prairie Wetlands, which serve several ecological functions relative to navigable waters. Invasion of Chinese tallow tree, an exotic woody invasive species has threatened the TXGCP so that the original grassland ecosystem has shifted in composition to woody plants, therefore, we seek what ecological process is occurring during invasion. A study was conducted within the TXGCP ecosystem in LaMarque, Texas, using point pattern analysis, Ripley’s-K Function to examine the spatial distribution of tallow relative to native species. A net deficit is observed across all nine watersheds examined for all dredge and fill activities, structural installation and removal activities occurring in wetlands. It was also determined that the standard permitting mechanism is the only mode of authorization where net gain is achievable. The standard permitting mechanism is the least permitting instrument used for authorization, therefore, a net loss of waters of the United States prevails. In addition, results show that following the Rapanos’ Supreme Court ruling, a greater burden of proof is required from regulatory agencies to ascertain jurisdiction over a wetland, consequently, more wetlands are exempt from permitting. Finally, a trend of secondary succession is found within the coastal prairies due to native shrub species such as wax myrtle and yaupon strategically outcompeting Chinese tallow tree under the competitive exclusion model of secondary succession. Advisors/Committee Members: Knight, Robert W (advisor), Feagin, Russel (committee member), Silvy, Nova (committee member), Lopez, Roel (committee member).

▼ The lack of cost-effective, reliable sampling methods for many wetland characteristics hinders efforts to describe the structural and functional properties of wetlands. This study evaluated techniques for sampling the subsurface hydrology and invertebrates of freshwater wetlands. The depth of rusting on mild steel rods was compared with water well measurements to determine the reliability of rust depth as a predictor of subsurface water levels. An emergence trap and a benthic coring device were compared to determine the utility of each for sampling the invertebrate fauna of a wetland. Accuracy of the rods in estimating different water table measurements (average, lowest, most recent) and comparability of rod data (within sets of five rods) were investigated for different reference points on the rods, residence times, and wetland soils. The effect of the presence of vegetation in a soil low in organic matter on rod accuracy also was evaluated. The depth of lowest formation of a rust band on the rods predicted average and most recent water table depths in peat soil (r² for regressions of rust band depth on water table depth ranged from 0.71-0.95). Estimates of average water table depths were most precise for peat soil. Accuracy and precision were considerably lower in sand and clay soils, but significant relationships (P < 0.10) between depth of rust band formation and water table depth were found for all soils (r² values for sand and clay ranged from 0.13-0.55). The presence of vegetation had no effect on rod accuracy in the sand soil. Differences in rod performance between residence times were not apparent. However, a rod residence time of 4-6 weeks is recommended to balance the time necessary for adequate rust formation on the rods and to minimize the chance of exposure to large changes in water levels. A decrease in water table depth of approximately 40 cm in one month in the clay wetland caused a month lag time in rust formation. Differences in depth of rust band formation between the five rods within replicate sets were greatest for rods from clay (mean SD = ±7.9 cm). Variability of rust band measurements within replicate sets was lower in peat (mean SD = ±2.3 cm) and sand (mean SD = ±2.6 cm). The results indicated that the rusty rod technique has serious limitations and should be applied only in situations where the use of standard methods must be restricted. Emergence traps and a benthic coring device were used to sample the invertebrates of a freshwater, emergent wetland during late spring and summer, 1989. The fauna captured by each technique, disparities between the techniques in sampling certain taxa, and factors potentially affecting abundance estimates were examined. In addition, the efficiency of each technique, expressed as the number of samples required to achieve a desired level of precision, in estimating mean abundances of the dominant invertebrate group, the Chironomidae, was evaluated. Total and monthly estimates of insect family richness were higher for … Advisors/Committee Members: Kentula, Mary E. (advisor), Anderson, Norm (committee member).

▼ [EN] In today's information society, there is a growing need to access data communication services ubiquitously, with mobility and increasingly higher data rates. This society's demand has motivated the development of the fourth generation of mobile communications (4G) and its evolution towards the fifth generation (5G). This development has required a revolution on the radio interface of the mobile communications systems, and, consequently, has significantly modified their capabilities and their radio resource management. This is the case of the technology known as Long Term Evolution (LTE) and its 4G version called LTE-Advanced. This Doctoral Thesis addresses the modelling, the radio resource management analysis, and the performance evaluation of the downlink of LTE and LTE-Advanced where, among the different features of LTE-Advanced, the focus is on the Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) transmission. The Thesis provides a detailed description of the main characteristics of LTE and LTE-Advanced. The high complexity of these systems, has prompted the use of computer simulations as the primary research methodology. The Thesis makes a detailed description of the simulation methodology and the system modelling required, including some contributions of the author in this field. Among them, it is of significant relevance the link-level simulation results used in the European project WINNER + for the LTE evaluation. With regard to the analysis of the radio resource management in LTE, the fundamentals of link adaptation and scheduling are explained in the first place. In relation to the scheduling, the Thesis includes a thorough study of the proportional fairness concept and the suboptimal implementation typically used in LTE to maximize this metric. This study has resulted in a series of ideas embodied in a modification of the typical implementation, which has proved to be capable of increasing the proportional fairness of the resource allocations. Moreover, the link adaptation analysis has revealed the "flash-light" effect problem, which is characterized by a high interference variability due to rapid changes in the scheduling decisions. The Thesis demonstrates that a particular implementation that stabilizes the scheduling decisions can improve the system performance. The radio resource management analysis of this Thesis is completed with the study of CoMP. Specifically, the CoMP scheme studied in this Thesis is a solution with coordinated scheduling and beamforming (CS/CB), that takes into account realistic and robust assumptions concerning the knowledge that the coordinated points have about the channel state. The Thesis proposes this solution for its simplicity and its ability to improve high data rates coverage and capacity even with incomplete channel knowledge. Concerning LTE and LTE-Advanced evaluation, it is performed in two different types of scenarios. On the one hand, the scenarios defined in the process of evaluation of IMT-Advanced. In this framework, it is evaluated the importance of different multi-antenna… Advisors/Committee Members: Cardona Marcet, Narciso (advisor), Monserrat del Río, José Francisco (advisor).

▼ This research project entails an efficient numeric digital representation in communication systems design. A complex block floating-point format with box encoding is proposed to encode an array of complex numbers that has better numeric resolution than its IEEE-754 counterpart when the same number of bits are allocated to the dominant value in the array. It is estimated that at least 10% of bit savings could be achieved by the new complex block representation on a quad-precision IEEE-754 format. A further bits savings of up to 18% could potentially be achieved for complex blocks at half-precision and single-precision IEEE-754 representation. The implementation cost of the proposed block floating-point format is evaluated in terms of memory usage, design of arithmetic units, and memory input/output rates for communications system modeling and block diagrams. Further analysis is performed on the limitation and quantization effects of this complex block format relative to complex IEEE-754 format. The coverage of the arithmetic units design include complex block adder and complex block multiplier. The appropriate systems that would be required to perform algorithms such as the fast Fourier transform (forward and inverse) are designed using the proposed complex block format in multi-stages complex block multiply-adder. The proposed block floating-point format is simulated as a new numeric class defined and implemented in MATLAB simulation environment. The MATLAB simulation is divided into two major parts. The first part of MATLAB simulation targets the simulation of complex block addition and complex block multiplication units for arbitrary size of complex samples per input block. The reference output values of complex block arithmetic are those computed with similar precision in IEEE-754 format. The second part of MATLAB simulation is performed on the system model of the single-carrier modulation-based and multi-carrier modulation-based communication systems. The quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) is the baseband modulation type targeted in this work. The specification identified in the system model is relevant to those specified in the Long-Term Evolution (LTE) Standards for Base Station, Release 12. Advisors/Committee Members: Evans, Brian L. (Brian Lawrence), 1965- (advisor).
