  • 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...

  • Enhancement of cold tolerance in tomato plants by genetic engineering of glycinebetaine biosynthesis

    Creator:
    Park, Eung-Jun
    Abstract:
    Tomato [Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.] plants are chilling sensitive and do not naturally accumulate glycinebetaine (GB), a metabolite that functions as a stress protectant in plants. While GB can increase tolerance of tomato plants to salt and drought stresses, its effect on chilling tolerance has not been examined. To evaluate whether...

  • Maximal operators along surfaces of revolution

    Creator:
    Le, Hung Viet
    Abstract:
    The study of differentiation of integrals has led to the study of maximal functions. In the development of harmonic analysis, the most powerful result connected with Lebesgue's theorem was that of the Hardy-Littlewood Maximal Theorem. This maximal theorem implies Lebesgue's theorem, and the maximal function and its variants have played...

  • 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...

  • Fungal diversity within decomposing woody conifer roots in Oregon

    Creator:
    Vandegrift, V. Eleanor
    Abstract:
    Previous studies have indicated that roots from five tree species (Picea sitchensis, Tsuga heterophylla, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Pinus ponderosa, and Pinus contorta) decompose at different rates across an environmental gradient in Oregon. Measurements of wood chemistry from each tree species as well as moisture and temperature from each location do not...

  • Consumer perceptions of apparel products in Internet shopping

    Creator:
    Kim, Mi-Jung
    Abstract:
    The purpose of the present study was to determine consumer perceptions of apparel products in Internet shopping. According to the existing literature, four categories of perceptions play primary roles for apparel shopping consumer decisions: apparel appearance, apparel comfort, fabric characteristics, and apparel fit. The present study aimed to observe how...
