The Modeling of Salt Water Intrusion What is Salt Water Intrusion? Salt water intrusion, or encroachment, is defined by Freeze and Cherry (1979) as the migration of salt water into fresh water aquifers under the influence of groundwater development. Salt water intrusion becomes a problem in coastal areas where fresh water aquifers are hydraulically connected with seawater. When large amounts of fresh water are withdrawn from these aquifers, hydraulic gradients encourage the flow of seawater
3D Modeling Concepts Course Evaluation I learned a lot about 3D modeling and ways it can be used. The class first started on September 6, where I was introduced to Klee Miller, a man that actually had worked on a motion picture, The Polar Express. I have to say, I was quite impressed, considering that's what I wanted to get into at the time. I came to University thinking that I wanted to work a lot with 3Ds Max and create many special features for movies, such as Klee Miller did, but now things

Data modeling is used to represent the system visually. It describes how data should be used to meet certain requirements given by the user. (Ref) This helps to ensure that all the requirements of the system have been met. There are numerous types of models used for different reasons, including logical and physical models. Each type of modeling has a specific purpose and is essential to the overall project. Some modeling describes the logic of the system, while others show the flow of information
UML (Unified Modeling Language) is a universal modeling language in the field of software engineering. It is designed to provide a standard way to visualize the design of a system allowing the programmer to visually see what is required for the software he/she is working on. Many people believe that UML is not important to learn. That it is simply just a time consuming task, and in some cases that is true. But while UML can be time consuming, it can help multiple people understand the essence of
study, the context, the problem scope and, the most important, research directions. This is what we aim to achieve in this literature review on Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN). The Business Process Modeling Notation is an important area for business process modeling. It allows business modeler to have a standard approach to modeling the business system in a high-level understanding on business processes. The BPMN 1.0 was released to the public in 2004, and was developed by Business Process
industry has been looking for a solution to this problem. Projects would be set back due to design oversights. Without anything to predict these problems before they happen, these little setbacks were a common occurrence. Once building information modeling (BIM) was born, it was like their prayers had been answered. The future was here. BIM contains precise geometry and relevant data needed to support the design, procurement, fabrication, and construction required to recognize the building (Eastman
industry has established and uses the basis of object-oriented building product modeling since 1990s. Initially, certain market sectors such as structural steel utilized the parametric 3D modeling in their design. Recently, various BIM tools became readily available when realizing the benefit of parametric 3D throughout the construction industry. This is a reward of construction industry’s dedication to Building Information Modeling for the last 20 years (Eastman, 2008). Construction industry has realize
Published in 2008, the Building Information Modeling Protocol Exhibit by the American Institute of Architects was developed in order to establish guidelines on the use of BIM throughout a project. This is important in that it has addressed several outstanding questions such as, the responsibilities for each element of the model, the authorized uses for the model, the extent to which users can rely on the model, the management of the model, and who takes ownership of the model. After developing a
Holism is the epicenter of Ericson, Tomlin and Swain’s theory of Modeling and Role-Modeling. A newer theory development in nursing, published in 1983 has been integrated into many different university nursing programs as well as in clinical settings (Marriner-Tomey & Alligood, 2006). The theory while simple in concept has a complex combination of other well-known theories in psychology. The theory integrates Abraham Maslow’s higharchy of needs, Erik Erickson’s stages of psychosocial development,
system which mainly emphasizes Indoor environmental quality, energy and atmosphere, sustainable sites, water efficiency, materials and resources and innovation in design (Azhar, Carlton, Olsen and Ahmad (2011)). The advent of Building Information Modeling (BIM) actuated the integration of different construction data in a single model. Bynum, Issa and Olbina (2012) suggested the implementation of BIM in the Design phase of construction to enhance the sustainable aspects of the design and construction
Video Modeling to Improve Academic and Social Skills for Children with Autism Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often require systematic and intensive interventions in order to develop appropriate social and academic behaviors. One intervention that has been used with some success on improving a variety of behaviors is video modeling (Acar & Diken, 2012; Wang, Cui, & Parrila, 2011; Wilson, 2013). Video modeling involves the process of creating a video of a person or persons exhibiting
subject at hand. UML is the industry acronym for the Universal Modeling Language. The Universal Modeling Language is used for software, business, hardware and organizational object structuring. In 1997, with the help of three men and their teams, UML was created and adopted as an industry standard by the Object Management Group (OMG). The Universal Modeling Language is a collaboration of many different people and numerous modeling approaches put together as one unified standard for the purpose of

Object-Oriented Database Management Systems started in the middle 80's, at a prototype building level, and at the beginning of the 90's the first commercial systems appeared. The interest for the development of such systems stems from the need to cover the modeling deficiencies of their predecessors, that is the relational database management systems. They were intended to be used by applications that have to handle big and complex data such as Computer Aided Engineering, Computer Aided Design, and Office Information
was published in Communications of the ACM. This paper introduced the topic of data normalization, so-named because, at the time, President Nixon was normalizing relations with China. Data normalization is a technique used during logical data modeling to ensure that there is only one way to know a fact, by removing all structures that provide more than one way to know the same fact as represented in a database relation (table). The goal of normalization is to control and eliminate redundancy,
make up literacy. In order to effectively teach students these components the teacher must model the concept for the students. As teachers, we can't expect or assume that the student already knows what we expect of them. Modeling gives students a basis of what to go by. Modeling is the first and most important step in order for the students to gain mastery of a concept. A teacher must also undergo guided practice with the students. A teacher should always provide as much guided practice that is needed
challenge and it comes with a lot of obstacles and critic. Even though changes are taking place such as fashion councils turning away anorexic women and magazines such as PLUS Model or Vogue using their publicity to make a difference, the world of modeling still has a long way to go. As time goes on, models and even plus sized models are getting smaller while society as a whole is getting bigger. It’s a sad truth, but until something drastic happens and raises awareness for these women that live a
only thing people have to sell. In capitalism it doesn’t matter who or what you are, as long as you’re producing something that will make money. Women sell their humanity in different ways, there seems to be a same scale in place with women’s jobs, modeling (which is at the far right), stripping (somewhere in between), and prostitution (which is at the far left). Most wouldn’t connect these three with having any basic ground (maybe stripping & prostitution), but their basic ground is that women are
eqBQ relies heavily on the use of BIM modeling to generate the quantities before exporting them to produce the BQ. Factors affecting BIM may hinder its ability for use of quantity takeoffs and the production of the BQ. Firstly, material takeoffs in BIM require the use of different methods. For example, during manual calculation of the one-brick wall superstructure, the value of 84.86 can only be gotten after subtraction from 95.91 (the external wall for the gable ends). This kind of deduction will
