  • Mahler's order functions and algebraic approximation of p-adic numbers

    Creator:
    Dietel, Brian Christopher
    Abstract:
    If P is an integer polynomial denote the degree of P by ∂(P) and let H(P) be the maximum of the absolute value of the coefficients of P. Define Λ(P)=2[superscript ∂(P)]H(P) and for a fixed prime p let C[subscript p] denote the completion of the algebraic closure of the p-adic...

  • Fourier Analysis and Equidistribution on the p-adic Integers

    Creator:
    Somasunderam, Naveen
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, we use Fourier-analytic methods to study questions of equidistribution on the compact abelian group Zp of p-adic integers. In particu- lar, we prove a LeVeque-type Fourier analytic upper bound on the discrepancy of sequences. We establish p-adic analogues of the classical Dirichlet and Fejér kernels on R/Z,...

  • Contemporary forest road management with economic and environmental objectives

    Creator:
    Thompson, Matthew P.
    Abstract:
    One of the basic questions facing transportation planners and road managers is how to provide and maintain a road system that provides efficient access to the forest while limiting adverse effects roads can have on water and soil resources. The purpose of this study is to develop decision support models...

  • Model assessment of the effects of land use change on hydrologic response

    Creator:
    Vache, Kellie B.
    Abstract:
    The effect of landuse change on the hydrologic, biogeochemical and ecological response of watersheds is a concern throughout the world. To help characterize the potential magnitude of such changes, and of the potential to remediate or avoid undesirable features, studies focused on the cumulative watershed effects of site level change...

  • Xenobiotic biotransformation in aquatic organisms

    Creator:
    Schlenk, Daniel K.
    Abstract:
    Aquatic animals are exposed to a variety of natural and anthropogenic xenobiotics. Biotransformation of xenobiotics was examined in three aquatic animals: a primitive mollusc (chiton); a shellfish which is an important human food source (oyster); and, a lower vertebrate model for toxicological studies (rainbow trout). Since digestive glands of Cryntochiton...

  • Simulating vegetation shifts and carbon cycling in Yosemite National Park

    Creator:
    Conklin, David R.
    Abstract:
    The vegetation in Yosemite National Park changed during the 20th century and may change in the 21st century in response to climate change. Vegetation surveys made during the 1930s and the 1990s provide benchmark records separated by 60 years. This study uses the MC1 dynamic global vegetation model to forecast...

  • John Fiske's philosophy of science : the union of science and religion through the principle of evolution

    Creator:
    Lester, Jacob Franklin
    Abstract:
    Modern science was produced by a Christian society, and although science has had an effect on Christianity, it could not itself remain unaffected. In the second half of the nineteenth century, the subject of evolution was as much a religious as a scientific issue. The battle line was drawn and...

  • A P-well GaAs MESFET technology

    Creator:
    Canfield, Philip C.
    Abstract:
    The semiconductor gallium arsenide (GaAs) has many potential advantages over the more widely used semiconductor silicon (Si). These include higher low field mobility, semi-insulating substrates, a direct band-gap, and greater radiation hardness. All these advantages offer distinct opportunities for implementation of new circuit functions or extension of the operating conditions...
