  • Sources of flow maldistribution in microreactor-assisted synthesis of ceria nanoparticles

    Creator:
    Tseng, Chih-Heng
    Abstract:
    Recent efforts show that microchannel technologies have much to offer the field of nanomanufacturing: the structuring of matter on the order of one billionth of a meter. During the synthesis of nanomaterials, microchannel reactors take advantage of large surface-to-volume ratios to accelerate heat and mass transport. This accelerated transport allows...

  • Ocean electric energy extraction opportunities

    Creator:
    Zhang, Heng
    Abstract:
    The world's oceans contain tremendous renewable energy potentials. It is estimated that if 0.2% of the ocean's untapped energy could be harnessed, it could provide power sufficient for the entire world [1]. This thesis provides a comprehensive description of the state-of-the-art of ocean energy extraction technologies and lessons learned from...

  • The Michigan Recreational Angling Demand Model

    Creator:
    Lupi, Frank, Hoehn, John P., Chen, Heng Zhang, and Tomasi, Theodore D.
    Abstract:
    The paper reports on a large-scale demand model for recreational fishing in Michigan. The model is based on the travel cost method and is specified as a four-level nested-logit. Seasonal participation is modeled by repeating the site choice logit over the course of a season. Data on anglers' trips and...

  • Topological analysis, visualization, and design of vector fields on surfaces

    Creator:
    Chen, Guoning
    Abstract:
    Analysis, visualization, and design of vector fields on surfaces have a wide variety of major applications in both scientific visualization and computer graphics. On the one hand, analysis and visualization of vector fields provide critical insights to the flow data produced from simulation or experiments of various engineering processes. On...

  • Dissecting mechanics of chromosome segregation and cleavage furrow induction

    Creator:
    Chen, Wei
    Abstract:
    Accurate chromosome segregation and cell cleavage are critical to maintaining genomic integrity. Both events involve the spindle apparatus, but the exact mechanics is as puzzling as the contradicting models proposed in the last two centuries. In this dissertation, current prevailing models of chromosome segregation and cell cleavage are tested using...

  • Painterly rendering using space-time varying style parameters

    Creator:
    Kagaya, Mizuki
    Abstract:
    Automatic painterly rendering systems have been proposed but they opted for selecting a single style to generate paintings from images, which lacks the ability of creatively using multiple styles to focus important objects and deemphasize unimportant part of the scenes. We provide a multi-style painting framework to address this issue...

  • Visualization and design systems for road infrastructure

    Creator:
    Esch, Gregory
    Abstract:
    Transportation infrastructure provides a vital service for the functionality of a city. The efficient design of road networks poses an interesting topic in computer science for digital content developers. For civil engineers, the visualization of analysis results on infrastructure both efficiently and intuitively is crucial. The following contributions are made...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • An Impact and Management Study of Taiwanese Artificial Reef Deployment

    Creator:
    Chuang, Ching-Ta, Guinea, Estuardo, and Kuo, Heng Hung
    Abstract:
    For the past decades, around 20% of the natural coral reefs were lost and > 20% more is currently deteriorating. Due to the recognition of positive impact to fishery resources enhancement by artificial reefs (ARs) deployment, Taiwanese government has started deploying ARs as a measure to improve the environment of...
