An Investigation into the Production of Longer Hydrocarbons, Synthesis Gas, and Ammonia via a Nonthermal Plasma Microreactor

Creator:: Reddick, Ian T.
Abstract:: Nonthermal electrical plasmas can allow energy intensive reactions to occur without the use of high operating temperatures or pressures. This is because the collisions of electrons accelerated through an electric field with molecules is the cause of reactions as opposed to thermal collisions between molecules. In this study, the production...

Secure Data Analytics under Data Integrity Attacks

Creator:: De Silva, Shashini A.
Abstract:: There has been tremendous growth in using data analytic and machine learning algorithms to make critical decisions, such as in the national power grid, healthcare operations, and autonomous vehicles. Employing data analytic for decision-making allows cyber attackers to manipulate the decisions of these algorithms through data falsification. Hence, the trustworthiness...

Counterfactual thinking applied to multiagent systems

Creator:: Zerbel, Nicholas
Abstract:: Multiagent approaches are well suited to designing autonomous solutions for systems that feature complex interactions between many individuals such as in autonomous traffic systems and multi-robot exploration systems. However, creating autonomous agents that function effectively in these systems is a challenging task. In these complex environments, agents need informative reward...

Development of an Accelerated Method for Assessing Decay of Wood Plastic Composites (WPC's)

Creator:: Silva Guzman, Jose Antonio
Abstract:: This study examined the decay resistance of the pine and maple components of wood plastic composites (WPC' s) of varying thicknesses exposed on several culture media to wood decay fungi under laboratory conditions. The ability of malt agar extract (MEA), potato dextrose agar (PDA), amended basal salts, sawdust (maple and...

Supporting merge comprehension when resolving merge conflicts

Creator:: Nelson, Nicholas
Abstract:: Distributed version control allows developers to manage software evolution among distributed development teams. But it does not eliminate all consistency and concurrency issues, and instead introduces additional complexity when merging code. And resolving merge conflicts is nontrivial when automated merging fails. In such cases, developers are forced to inspect the...

International comparison and evaluation of agricultural productivity growth

Creator:: Rada, Nicholas E.
Abstract:: Long-run food price changes respond to long-run changes in food demand, quasi-fixed and variable production factors, and agricultural productivity. Recent global food-price volatility puts a renewed spotlight on the trends and sources of any agricultural productivity growth. Because food prices’ most critical effects are on human hunger, it is especially...

Age-related decrease in resilience against acute redox cycling agents: Critical role of declining GSH-dependent detoxification capacity

Creator:: Thomas, Nicholas O.
Abstract:: Over the past century, life expectancy in the United States has dramatically increased leading to an increasingly aging population with people reaching, and spending more years in ‘old age’. While this unprecedented shift in population demographics represents great strides for humanity, it is not without cost. One consequence of longer...

From the Shoreface to the Foredunes : Coastal Morphodynamics Across the Land-Sea Interface

Creator:: Cohn, Nicholas T.
Abstract:: Coastal flooding and erosion are major concerns for low lying coastal communities -- particularly in light of accelerated sea level rise and climate change. To improve quantitative understanding of the physical drivers of both flooding and coastal landscape change, this dissertation explores coastal morphodynamics bridging the land-sea interface on modally...

Understanding large resurgent calderas and associated magma systems : the Pastos Grandes Caldera Complex, southwest Bolivia

Creator:: Kaiser, Jason Frederick, 1985-
Abstract:: The Pastos Grandes Caldera Complex (PGCC) in southwest Bolivia has produced two large-volume (≥800 km³ DRE) dacite ignimbrites from a nested caldera source over a period of 5.5 Myr. In addition to the large-volume ignimbrites, a small-volume ignimbrite shield and post-climactic lavas define this composite system. Based on detailed field...
