Creator:: Hummel, Susan Stevens
Abstract:: Cordia alliodora is used for reforestation programs and farm income in northern Costa Rica. This study investigated: 1) responses of C. alliodora associated with stand density, or trees/ha (TPH), and 2) plant diversity and biomass in the understory of C. alliodora plantations. Three Nelder plots, 31 temporary plots and 6...

Abstract:: In this thesis anomalous downcore shallowing of paleomagnetic inclinations is interpreted to be caused by sediment compaction. Thus, compaction-induced inclination shallowing may influence tectonic reconstructions that are based on inclinations from deep-sea sediment cores. Progressive downcore shallowing of the remanent inclination was observed in a 120-m section of Plio- Pleistocene...

Creator:: Guo, Zhiqiang
Abstract:: Mechanical behavior of Nb-Ti superconducting composites with copper matrices have been studied experimentally and theoretically. Experimental work includes extensive measurements of Cu/Nb-Ti composite system. Techniques for fine fiber testing and composite wire measurement have been developed. Experimental parameters examined in this research include geometry, hardness, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, yield...

Creator:: Lin, Huan
Abstract:: Stochastic analysis procedures have been recently applied to analyze nonlinear dynamical systems. In this study, nonlinear responses, stochastic and/or chaotic, are examined and interpreted from a probabilistic perspective. A multi-point-moored ocean structural system under regular and irregular wave excitations is analytically examined via a generalized stochastic Melnikov function and Markov...
