A number of individuals have been of great assistance over the past few years. Firstly my two primary supervisors Dr Paul Kay and Dr Jonathan Carrivick have been immensely patient, taught me to write properly, vetted my ideas and have provided great wisdom and experience. Technical assistance with the Fluent software was provided by Dr Andy Sleigh and Dr Carl Gikeson. Access to the SORBY flume facility and input on ideas for the flume study were given by Dr Daniel Parsons and Dr Gareth Keevil. For help in designing the field study and collecting the data I would like to thank David Ashley, Rachel Gasior, Dr Pengfei Li, Dr Ben Gillespie and numerous individuals a the Environment Agency. Additionally I owe a thanks to Rachel Homer for assistance with statistics. Yorkshire Water Services have provide funding, site access, and industrial experience that has been invaluable. In particular I owe thanks to Mark Tinsdeall, James Kitson, David Townend, Joanne Baxter, Simon Wolmersley, and Jenny Banks. Finally Jacqui Manton, Jacqui Brown, Dr John Gibbons, Dr David Romero, Dr Balazs Kulik, Dr Gemma Dooling and Dr Carol White have all supported me in innumerable ways. 7 All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again. Ecclesiastes 1:7 - iv - Abstract Pollution spills are a serious threat to rivers causing fish kills, and lasting damage to the biological systems of rivers. At present financial penalties are used to deter such incidents but no mitigation system exists. A multiple method approach involving a hydrological and water chemistry based field study, a flume tank experiment, a computer fluid dynamics model and a 1D flow model was under taken to examine the feasibility of using a wave of water released from a reservoir to dilute pollution spills. Nine waves were released from reservoirs on three different catchments. Water quality was measured downstream of sewage treatment works and the progress of the wave was tracked down the river with gauges. Additionally in one experiment a slug of rhodamine dye was released into the river ahead of a wave. To understand the impact of a wave on mixing processes within the water column, in particular longitudinal dispersion, a series of flume tank and computer fluid dynamics experiments were ran. In both experiment sets a wave was released from one end of a tank and a slug of either rhodamine dye, or tracked particles was released mid tank, the interaction between the wave and the dye was then captured as footage and analysed. Across the three sets of experiments waves were found to move significantly faster than the baseflow with mean velocities ranging between 0.86ms-1 1.63ms-1. In the Holme River a dye slug would be caught within 3 hours and 46 minutes. Catch up times and response times were both demonstrated with a dye test and estimated with a 1D model providing management focused results previously unreported in the literature. Dilution of water quality parameters including NH4 and conductivity was recorded during wave passage at the sewage treat works outflows in the majority of experiments. Peak dilutions of 59% for NH4 and 58% for conductivity were recorded. An increase in longitudinal dispersion with wave magnitude was observed in the computer fluid dynamics model but unclear within the flume tank. - v - Table of Contents Chapter 1.

  • Reading All the Rivers Run, Nancy Cato's Eco-Historical Epic
    Reading All the Rivers Run , Nancy Cato’s Eco-Historical Epic Susan Sheridan ANCY CATO ’S THREE -VOLUME EPIC ALL THE RIVERS RUN FIRST APPEARED BETWEEN 1958 and 1962. 1 The River Murray is the central presence in the Nnarrative, which encompasses the river’s immense length, over 2,000 kilometres, from mountain springs to the sea, and its colourful history from 1890 until the great flood of 1956. During much of that period the Murray was intensively used to transport goods and people, as well as for irrigation as it is still today. The river was subjected to massive re-shaping, in the early twentieth century, when the construction of a series of weirs and locks attempted to transform it into a more reliable medium for transport, and a more reliable source of water for agricultural and industrial uses. All the Rivers Run offers a vision of the Murray as a region, defined by the river itself, with its towns, industries and peoples, its ecology and mythology. What strikes a reader of this novel today, when we are acutely aware of how drastically the whole Murray- Darling river system is endangered, is the way it incorporates the ecological as well as the social history of the river. 1 Volume 1: All the Rivers Run ; Volume 2: Time, Flow Softly ; Volume 3: But Still the Stream : published by Heinemann, London, between 1958 and 1962, and reissued in condensed form in a single volume, All the Rivers Run , in 1978 by New English Library, London, and St Martin’s Press, New York.

    RIVER QUALITY SURVEY NATIONAL RIVERS AUTHORITY NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 PART 1 REA CH CLASSIFICA TION FRESHWATER RIVERS AND CANALS VERSION 1: AUGUST 1995 GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 \ NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION To allow the development of a National method of evaluating water quality, the rivers in all the NRA regions of England and Wales have been divided into reaches, which are numbered using a coding system based on the hydrological reference for each river basin. Each classified reach then has a chemistry sample point assigned to it and these sample points are regularly monitored for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved oxygen (DO) and Total Ammonia. The summary statistics calculated from the results of this sampling are sent to a National Centre where the GQA Grades are calculated. A National report is produced and each region can then produce more detailed reports on the quality of their own rivers. For Northumbria and Yorkshire Region, this Regional Report has been divided into two parts. PARTI: REACH CLASSIFICATION This report contains a listing of the river reaches within the region, with their start and finish grid reference, approximate length, and the 1990 and 1994 GQA class for each reach. The reference code of the chemistry sample point used to classify the reach is also included. A sample point may classify several reaches if there are no major discharges or tributaries dividing those reaches. The sample point used to classify a reach may change and the classification is therefore calculated using the summary statistics for each sample point that has been used over the past three years.

  • HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007
    1 HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007 Submitted by Gareth Andrew James to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English, January 2011. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ........................................ 2 Abstract The thesis offers a revised institutional history of US cable network Home Box Office that expands on its under-examined identity as a monthly subscriber service from 1972 to 1994. This is used to better explain extensive discussions of HBO‟s rebranding from 1995 to 2007 around high-quality original content and experimentation with new media platforms. The first half of the thesis particularly expands on HBO‟s origins and early identity as part of publisher Time Inc. from 1972 to 1988, before examining how this affected the network‟s programming strategies as part of global conglomerate Time Warner from 1989 to 1994. Within this, evidence of ongoing processes for aggregating subscribers, or packaging multiple entertainment attractions around stable production cycles, are identified as defining HBO‟s promotion of general monthly value over rivals. Arguing that these specific exhibition and production strategies are glossed over in existing HBO scholarship as a result of an over-valuing of post-1995 examples of „quality‟ television, their ongoing importance to the network‟s contemporary management of its brand across media platforms is mapped over distinctions from rivals to 2007.
