    Yang, Ke
    Abstract:
    This dissertation is composed of three essays regarding the finite sample properties of estimators for nonparametric models. In the first essay we investigate the finite sample performances of four estimators for additive nonparametric regression models - the backfitting B-estimator, the marginal integration M-estimator and two versions of a two stage...

  • Optimal troubleshooting plan for a complex electro-mechanical system

    Creator:
    Durgi, Parthsarathy
    Abstract:
    The decision sequences used for troubleshooting of complex electro-mechanical systems are often ad hoc and less than optimal. This research investigated Decision Analysis and Bayesian Networks for generating an optimal decision sequence for troubleshooting. The model that was used in this research was the bleed air control system of the...

  • Microsatellite Markers for Red Drum, Sciaenops ocellatus

    Creator:
    Saillant, E., Cizdziel, K., O'Malley, Kathleen G., Turner, T. F., Pruett, C. L., and Gold, J. R.
    Abstract:
    Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers are reported for 68 nuclear-encoded microsatellites developed during the past several years from genomic libraries of red drum (Sciaenops ocelwtus). All68 microsatellites were tested for reproducibility and polymorphism on a sample of five to 12 red drum; 60 of the microsatellites were found to be...

  • Commodity policies and acreage decisions in U.S. agriculture, 1990-2001

    Creator:
    Smith, Gordon Lloyd
    Abstract:
    The Uruguay Round of trade negotiations (1994) initiated agricultural trade liberalization in the form of increased market access, lower export subsidies and limits on trade-distorting domestic support (three pillars, see Burfisher, 2001; de Gorter, Ingco and Ignacio, 2003; Gopinath, Mullen and Gulati, 2004).

  • Electrochemical deposition of thin film CuGaSe₂ for photovoltaics

    Creator:
    Permanasari, Rina
    Abstract:
    CuGaSe₂/CuInSe₂ tandem junction solar cell is currently being pursued to be a low cost and high efficiency renewable energy source. A reported theoretical efficiency of 33.9% solar cells has been the motivation to fabricate CuGaSe₂ films in a simple and low cost method. Electrodeposition is a potentially suitable method to...
