Skew Brownian motion and branching processes applied to diffusion-advection in heterogenous media and fluid flow

Creator:: Ramirez, Jorge M.
Abstract:: This thesis contains three manuscripts addressing the application of stochastic processes to the analysis and solution of partial differential equations (PDEs) in mathematical physics. In the first manuscript, one dimensional diffusion and Burgers equation are considered. The Fourier transform of the solution to each PDE is represented as the expected...

Mitochondrial decay in the aging rat heart : changes in fatty acid-supported bioenergetics and macromolecular organization of the electron transport system

Creator:: Gómez Ramirez, Luis A.
Abstract:: Decline in cardiac pump function is a hallmark of aging where mitochondrial decay is an important underlying cause. Although certainly multifactorial in nature, both dysfunction of the machinery involved in the chemiosmotic process of energy transduction and lower capacity to maintain fatty acid-driven respiration are identified as intrinsic factors of...

It’s in Their Bones: Ecological Drivers of Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtle (Lepidochelys kempii) Somatic Growth and Population Dynamics

Creator:: Ramirez, Matthew D.
Abstract:: Somatic growth variation manifests from the cumulative effects of a suite of biological, ecological, and environmental processes and can have profound effects on individual fitness and species population dynamics. As ectotherms whose growth dynamics are greatly influenced by environmental factors, sea turtles display considerable variation in somatic growth within and...

Designing Functional Materials Based on Pyrochlore Oxides: The Role of Mixed Valence and Complex Stoichiometry

Creator:: Converse, Elizabeth Maria Sobalvarro
Abstract:: Solid state inorganic oxides play an important role in next generation electronics based on their stability, versatility, and enhanced properties over other materials. However, in order to design or tune these materials for a desired functionality it is necessary to fully understand the structure behind the properties exhibited. This dissertation...

Unpacking docent practice in free choice science learning settings : a qualitative study documenting the what and whys of docent interpretive practice

Creator:: Good, Laura H.
Abstract:: Museum settings including aquariums, zoos and science centers rely heavily on their volunteer docent populations to interact with and communicate science and conservation concepts to the visiting public. The interactions docents have with museum visitors are important to meeting the educational expectations of museums and improving public science literacy as...

Tuning Functional Properties of Pyrochlore and Related Oxides via Cation and Anion Substitutions

Creator:: Giampaoli, Gabriella C. S.
Abstract:: Inorganic structures play an important role in materials due to their versatility and diversity. A complete understanding of the structure of a material is vital to enhance the creation of new materials that fill voids in research. The rational design of these compounds is driven by the exploitation of structure-property...

Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) Calling Behavior In Southeast Alaska : A Study In Acoustic Ecology And Noise

Creator:: Fournet, Michelle E. H.
Abstract:: Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are a widely distributed baleen whale species, well known for their diverse acoustic behavior. On high-latitude foraging grounds, humpback whales produce a suite of non-song vocalizations (“calls”) in concert with foraging and social behavior. In this dissertation I investigated the role of calls in the acoustic...

Jumping in with Both Feet: Exploring Factors that Shape Juvenile Amphibian Movement

Creator:: Bredeweg, Evan M.
Abstract:: Investigation into how animals move within the landscape is important for both understanding of ecological processes and conservation management. Animal movement is important in shaping life history transitions, demographics, individual fitness, and species distributions. However, as landscapes become increasingly affected by human activities, movement becomes important as species navigate landscapes...

Temperature and water potential effects on physiological functions of sudangrass (Sorghum vulgare var. Piper)

Creator:: Young, Richard Su-Shung
Abstract:: Temperature and water potential effects on the growth, transpiration, total nonstructural carbohydrate (TNC) content, and nutrient uptake of sudangrass (Sorghum vulgare var. piper) were investigated in laboratory experiments. The effect of nitrogen supply on the growth and nutrient uptake at constant soil water potential was also investigated in this study....

Quantitative Tools for Monitoring Strategy Evaluation and Assessment of Sea Turtle Populations

Creator:: Piacenza, Susan E. H.
Abstract:: Green sea turtles, Chelonia mydas, have endangered and threatened populations globally, but several populations show signs of population recovery. In Hawaii, nesting female green turtles have increased 5.7% year⁻¹ since 1973, but wide fluctuations in census counts of nesting females make recovery diagnosis difficult. For effective management planning, it is...
