  • Ectopic overexpression of Arabidopsis CBF genes enhances freezing tolerance of two potato species

    Creator:
    Pino, María-Teresa
    Abstract:
    Solanum species differ in their degree of frost tolerance and cold acclimation capacity. Cultivated potato species of Solanum tuberosum L. are frost-sensitive, incapable of cold acclimation, and have a maximum freezing tolerance of –3°C. Solanum commersonii Dun is frost-tolerant and can survive to –5ºC pre-acclimation and –10ºC post-acclimation. Breeding attempts...

  • Essays on Regional Economic Impact Assessment and Demand Analysis using Disaggregated Data

    Creator:
    Chen, Yunguang
    Abstract:
    The appropriate use of disaggregated economic data not only improves the accuracy and robustness of economic analyses, but also extends the existing economic models to address new aspects of the issue. This dissertation consists of three essays: two essays use disaggregated economic-engineering data to address spatial heterogeneity in economic losses...

  • Development of a Novel Device to Measure the Viscosity of High Temperature Molten Salts

    Creator:
    Blyther, Joshua D.
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a novel design for a rheometer style viscometer by implementing high temperature and inert atmospheric requirements on the device. The goals of this device are to measure the viscosity of high temperature molten salts, which are corrosive and extremely hydroscopic. It also aims to be able to...

  • An Empirical Analysis of the Impact of Climate-related Disasters on the Regional Economy

    Creator:
    Fouzia, Sultana Z.
    Abstract:
    The ongoing climate change has impacted the lives and livelihoods of people. A climate-related disaster acts as an exogenous shock to the economy that can have lingering effects over a larger region even if all the locations are not directly affected. Climate-related disasters do not follow the administrative boundaries. So,...

  • Numerical inversion of laplace transforms by the trapezoidal-type methods

    Creator:
    Lin, FuSen F.
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, we investigate three numerical methods for inverting the Laplace transform. These methods are all based on the trapezoidal-type approximations to the Bromwich integral. The first method is the direct integration method: It is a straightforward application of the trapezoidal rule to the Bromwich integral, followed by convergence...

  • Machine Learning for Architectural Design Space Exploration and Resource Control

    Creator:
    Penney, Drew D.
    Abstract:
    Machine learning has enabled significant advancements in diverse fields, yet, with a few exceptions, has had limited impact on computer architecture. Recent work, however, has begun to explore broader application to design, optimization, and simulation. Notably, machine-learning-based strategies often surpass prior state-of-the-art analytical, heuristic, and human-expert approaches. This thesis first...

  • Applying Deep Learning in Street View Imagery for Environmental Health Research

    Creator:
    Zhang, Yifang
    Abstract:
    Urban green space is associated with multiple physical and mental health outcomes. Several benefits of green space, such as stress reduction and attention restoration, are dependent on visual perception of green space exposures. However, traditional green space exposure measures do not capture street-level exposures. In this project, we apply deep...

  • Machine learning for computer architecture design and optimization

    Creator:
    Penney, Drew
    Abstract:
    Machine learning applied to computer architecture has rapidly transitioned from a theoretical novelty to being a driving force behind design, control, and simulation in practically all components. These machine-learning-based methodologies are further notable for their scalability to increasingly complex design challenges, which has allowed these methodologies to surpass the prior...
