Formal Verification of the Variational Database Management System

Creator:: Khan, Fariba
Abstract:: Variation in data is abundant and ubiquitous in real-world applications. Managing variation in databases is, however, difficult and has been extensively studied by the database community. Schema evolution, data integration, and database versioning are examples of well-studied forms of database variation with effective context-specific solutions. However, variation appears in different...

Managing Complicity: Two German Doctors and the United States in the Twentieth Century

Creator:: Vaughn, Elizabeth P. C.
Abstract:: This thesis examines the origins and outcomes of Operation Paperclip, a program the U.S. government operated in the years immediately following WWII to recruit former Nazi doctors, scientists, and technicians, and capitalize on their research experience. As part of this operation, the U.S. welcomed two doctors who had conducted medical...

Efficient Oblivious Access to Trees

Creator:: Hackebeil, Gabriel A.
Abstract:: The outsourcing of data storage and related infrastructure to third-party services in the cloud is a trend that has gained considerable momentum in the last decade due to the savings it affords companies in both capital and operational costs. Although encryption can alleviate some of the privacy concerns associated with...

The Breeding Ecology and Foraging Niche of Aleutian Terns (Onychoprion aleuticus) in the Kodiak Archipelago, Alaska

Creator:: Tengeres, Jill E.
Abstract:: The Aleutian tern (Onychoprion aleuticus) is a species of high conservation concern in Alaska due to large declines at known breeding locations since the 1960s. Due to the small population size and ephemeral behavior of this species on the nesting grounds, there is little basic biological information available and data...

Oxygenate Reactions over PdCu and PdAg Catalysts: Influence of Electronic and Geometric Effects

Creator:: Bathena, Tanmayi
Abstract:: Bimetallic catalysis is a promising way to tune the catalytic properties of heterogeneous catalysts. In particular, bimetallic catalysts are extensively used to enhance the selectivity of monometallic catalysts in a variety of contexts, from oxidation catalysis to oxygenate coupling. In this work, we investigate PdxCuy/SiO2 and PdxAgy/SiO2 catalysts in the...

In Search of the Carnivalesque: An Investigation of Carnival in Santiago de Cuba

Creator:: Nichol, Melanie
Abstract:: Carnival celebrations in Santiago de Cuba transform large swaths of the city for an anticipated week of festivities, during which Afro-Cuban dancers and musicians are center stage, performing a complicated statement of prescribed cultural ideology, historic acts of agency, and nationalism. A particularly revealing celebration, carnival can be understood as...

A chronosequence of wood decomposition in the boreal forests of Russia

Creator:: Yatskov, Mikhail A.
Abstract:: Coarse woody debris (CWD) decomposition in the Russian boreal forests of the southern taiga zone was studied at four sites located near St. Petersburg in Northwestern Russia, Krasnoyarsk in Eastern Siberia, lrkutsk in the Baikal region, and Khabarovsk in the Russian Far East. This study was part of a broader...

The beginnings of a Russian natural history : the life and work of Stepan Petrovich Krasheninnikov (1711 - 1755)

Creator:: Koroloff, Rachel
Abstract:: Stepan Petrovich Krasheninnikov (1711 – 1755) was a successful early Russian naturalist whose professional and social destinies were linked to eighteenth-century Russia's nascent but growing naturalist tradition. During his own time Krasheninnikov bridged the gap that existed in Russia between a distinctly European scientific practice and a tradition of Russian...

Hot, hot, heat : evaluating Phoenix, Arizona cooling centers through a project management perspective

Creator:: Leone, Cassandra M.
Abstract:: Global annual average temperatures are rising, creating extreme heat events or heatwaves that are increasing in frequency, length, and severity. The world will endure more of these events as climate change worsens and heat-related mortality and morbidity will increase due to warming conditions. At the center of heatwaves are urban...

Anatomy of the osseous external acoustic meatus, middle ear and surrounding soft tissue in llamas (Lama glama)

Creator:: Concha-Albornoz, Ismael
Abstract:: Llamas (Lama glama) appear to have predisposing anatomical features for developing otitis media such as a long and narrow external acoustic meatus and a trabecular tympanic bulla. However, there is limited information available about the morphology of the ear in this species. The aim of this study was to evaluate...
