Trace element characteristics of zircon : a means of assessing mineralization potential of intrusions in northern Nevada

Creator:: Farmer, Lucian P.
Abstract:: Oxidized hydrous intermediate composition magmas are responsible for porphyry copper (Cu ±Mo ±Au) deposits and epithermal Au ore deposits formed globally in the shallow crust (Sillitoe, 2010; Seedorff et al., 2005). Recently, zircon geochemistry has been used to characterize both productive and barren intrusions associated with porphyry Cu-Au ore deposits....

Reynolds Stress Tensor Systems and Applications to Nonuniqueness of Weak Solutions to Fluid

Creator:: Donaghue, Patrick E.
Abstract:: In the 1954 John Nash [1] showed, through use of an iterative scheme of approximate embedding maps, that the sphere S² could be isometrically embedded into a ball of any radius by a C¹ map. In the 1980's M. Gromov [2] generalized Nash's work to the h-principal and convex integration....

Some results in probability from the functional analytic viewpoint

Creator:: Gelbaum, Zachary A.
Abstract:: This dissertation presents some results from various areas of probability theory, the unifying theme being the use of functional analytic intuition and techniques. We first give a result regarding the existence of certain stochastic integral representations for Banach space valued Gaussian random variables. Next we give a spectral geometric construction...

On Small Heights of Totally p-adic Numbers

Creator:: Stacy, Emerald T.
Abstract:: The height of an algebraic number A is a measure of how arithmetically complicated A is. We say A is totally p-adic if the minimal polynomial of A splits completely over the field of p-adic numbers. In this paper, we investigate what can be said about the smallest nonzero height...

Mixing Times for Diffusive Lattice-Based Markov Chains

Creator:: Titus, Mathew W.
Abstract:: Markov chains have long been used to sample from probability distributions and simulate dynamical systems. In both cases we would like to know how long it takes for the chain's distribution to converge to within varepsilon of the stationary distribution in total variation distance; the answer to this is, called...

Nonuniform Sampling Of Band-limited Functions

Creator:: Al-Hammali, Hussain Y.
Abstract:: In this thesis, we will study certain generalizations of the classical Shannon Sampling Theorem, which allows for the reconstruction of a pi-band-limited, square-integrable function from its samples on the integers. J. R. Higgins provided a generalization where the integers can be perturbed by less than 1/4, which includes nonuniform and...

Seismic wave attenuation of the crust and upper mantle in the Himalaya and South-Central Tibetan Plateau

Creator:: Monigle, Patrick W.
Abstract:: Recent geophysical and geological investigations of the Tibetan plateau have given rise to conflicting models of plateau growth and deformation, where the presence and extent of partial melt in the crust could be a determining factor. Here we investigate the attenuation structure of the crust and upper mantle, as attenuation...

Representations of fractional Brownian motion

Creator:: Wichitsongkram, Noppadon
Abstract:: Integral representations provide a useful framework of study and simulation of fractional Browian motion, which has been used in modeling of many natural situations. In this thesis we extend an integral representation of fractional Brownian motion that is supported on a bounded interval of ℝ to integral representation that is...

Gaussian random fields related to Lévy's Brownian motion : representations and expansions, Gaussian random fields related to Levy's Brownian motion : representations and expansions

Creator:: Rode, Erica S.
Abstract:: This dissertation examines properties and representations of several isotropic Gaussian random fields in the unit ball in d-dimensional Euclidean space. First we consider Lévy's Brownian motion. We use an integral representation for the covariance function to find a new expansion for Lévy's Brownian motion as an infinite linear combination of...

The economics of a research program : knowledge production, cost, and technical efficiency

Creator:: Qin, Lin
Abstract:: Calls continually are made to provide economic assessments of research program achievements and efficiency. Yet little effort has been given to develop an assessment framework that would focus on the research discovery itself, treating the research manager as a producer and the research technology as a knowledge production function. The...
