The Haw River, a high order river in the southeastern United States, is characterized by severe bank erosion and geomorphic change from historical conditions of clear waters and connected floodplains. In 2014 it was named one of the 10 most threatened rivers in the United States by American Rivers. Like many developed areas, the region has a history of disturbance including extensive upland soi...

The objective of this study was to educate on the moderating effects of age and computer knowledge on nurses’ acceptance of information systems (IS). The background theoretical framework used was the technology acceptance model (TAM), which has been widely favored by healthcare researchers. A relevant research model including TAM’s core constructs, i.e., perceived usefulness (PUSS) and ease of ...

The objective of this study was to assess the performance form-based and process-based models, local-scale reach-scale used examine bank retreat sediment transport in stream restoration. evaluated models were Bank Erosion Hazard Index (BEHI), Assessment for Nonpoint Source Consequences Sediment (BANCS), Stability Toe Model (BSTEM), HEC River Analysis System (HEC-RAS 1D). Model-to-model assessme...

Event-based sensors have recently drawn increasing interest in robotic perception due to their lower latency, higher dynamic range, and bandwidth requirements compared standard CMOS-based imagers. These properties make them ideal tools for real-time tasks highly environments. In this work, we demonstrate an application where event cameras excel: accurately estimating the impact location of fast...

Fluvial processes and channel development on landscapes have recently received more attention as designers attempt to establish or replace natural streams on disturbed or degraded sites. Several approaches using similar parameters have been developed to evaluate stream development and erosion processes on natural soils and landscapes. Such approaches include the Manning’s and stream power equat...
