Tsunami Loading on Coastal Infrastructure

O Criador:: Xie, Zhongliang
Abstract:: The safety of coastal infrastructure has been a concern after the Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004 and the Great East Japan Tsunami in 2011. The western coast of the United States is also exposed to tsunami hazards due to the Cascadia subduction zone. Therefore, it is critical to design coastal...

An Exploratory Study of Mathematics Disciplinary Practices in Advanced Mathematics

O Criador:: Glover, Erin D.
Abstract:: Policy and research have increased attention in K12 mathematics education on core mathematical practices such as argumentation, justification, and proof, that are central to students learning and doing mathematics. One reason for this increased focus is the empirical evidence that engaging students in mathematical practices provide more equitable opportunities for...

Growth, Characterizations, and Applications of Patterned Nanostructured Thin Film

O Criador:: Gao, Zhongwei
Abstract:: A unique microreactor-assisted nanomaterial synthesis and printing process was studied for the fabrication of patterned metal oxide nanostructured thin films. The process uses a continuous flow microreactor to control and generate a reactive chemical flux that was transported to a patterned microfluidic channel. The microreactor-assisted nanomaterial synthesis process can generate...

Vortical Structures in Transition to Turbulence through Randomly Packed Porous Media: Scale, Energy, and Mixing Characteristics

O Criador:: Mohammadi Ziazi, Reza
Abstract:: Vortical structures are the driving mechanism of transition to turbulence in porous media requiring adequately resolved observations along with analysis of the scale and energy of ﬂow within the pores. Of speciﬁc interest is to understand the vortex dynamics, energy, and turbulent mixing and transport properties in the scale of...

Genomic Resources for Phylogenetics, Species Delimitation, and Geographic Localization of Neotropical Tree Species Cedrela odorata L. (Meliaceae)

O Criador:: Finch, Kristen N.
Abstract:: Biodiversity loss is of global concern, and is due in part to deforestation and high consumer demand for wood and wood products. The neotropical tree species Cedrela odorata (“Spanish cedar” or “cedro”) is economically valuable for its wood and faces threats of overexploitation. Due to strong similarities in wood features...

Impacts of microbial chemical interactions on marine plankton physiology

O Criador:: Moore, Eric R.
Abstract:: The bioavailability of chemical compounds in the marine environment fundamentally influences the growth and physiology of microorganisms. Organic and inorganic chemicals that are produced by some marine plankton can be consumed by other plankton for energy production, growth, or to initiate essential physiological processes. Cultures of the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana,...

Musculoskeletal Injury Pathogenesis in Racehorses

O Criador:: Collar, Elizabeth M.
Abstract:: Racehorses are elite athletes that undergo repetitive stresses from jogging, cantering, and galloping exercises, and there is significant evidence that the majority of racehorse musculoskeletal injuries are due to repetitive stress or overuse. Musculoskeletal injuries have negative consequences on the racing industry through the loss of use or death of...

A Corpus Assisted Analysis of Eating Disorders

O Criador:: Cantu, Sara A.
Abstract:: The number of deaths by suicide each year in the United States is rising. Men, women, and people of all ages die by suicide at high rates. Someone diagnosed with anorexia or bulimia is at significantly greater risk of completing or attempting suicide, making clear the importance of understanding how...

Adaptive Streaming Methods using Dual Protocols and Reinforcement Learning

O Criador:: Gatimu, Kevin
Abstract:: The ubiquity of high quality video and proliferation of mobile devices has contributed to an unprecedented rise in video consumption. HTTP, in conjunction with adaptive streaming, has become the de facto mechanism for delivering the vast majority of video as it readily caters to heterogeneous networks and devices. This dissertation...

Vertical Coastal Trapped Wave Propagation Produced by a Subsurface Ridge

O Criador:: Dhage, Laxmikant
Abstract:: The vertical propagation of Coastal Trapped Waves (CTWs) due to subsurface ridges is explored with the help of linear numerical and analytical models. Results show that submerged ridges projecting from the shoreline can scatter a horizontally propagating single baroclinic mode Kelvin wave into both upward and downward propagating Kelvin wave...
