    Dredging ponds/small lakes

    Consider why it is a marsh now? Unless you change the cause you will have a marsh again in a few years.<br> <br> Consider how to enjoy a marsh. Would you fish in the pond, but really derive most of your enjoyment from watching the wildlife? Then nevermind about fishing and get into bird...

    Isotropic Bridge Decks

    Beyond load testing (may need to use a model of some description - verify that it is representative) I would ask the question how will it stand up to its worst expected punishment. Presumably that would be bouncing semi trailors under full legal load. Lay up some test samples (min of six for a...

    Sustanable Development Study

    Well, I would look into beautifying the area to draw consumers and improve worker morale. Most highways I've seen are scoured of life on both sides or an expensive and ugly wall it erected to counter traffic noise. <br> <br> Instead, plant a variety of trees and shrubs, some fast growing and...

    Seismic devastation to Concrete

    Try californian and japaneese sources. There are many excellent anti earthquake measures in both regions. One clever notion was to mount a structure on massive horizontal pillars that remain static until and event and then roll rather than crumble.

    Rehabilitation of Borneo forests and erosion control

    Lifeform Energy Fields

    As an antenna engineer I am aware that current flow stimulates EM fields around conductive structures. These fields can affect the surrounding atmosphere, charging cerain particals. MRI scanners work based on the bodies response to induced fields, but it should also be possible to map the...

    Antenna Analysis Software

    I'm looking for some slick phased array or reflector antenna analysis software with a windowsy interface and presentation quality output. I'm aware of Ticra, Comsat and STK stuff. Are you aware of any other suppliers I should try?
