  • Surfacing Behavior of Juvenile Loggerhead Sea Turtles (Caretta caretta) in North Carolina

    Creator:
    Patton, B. Wren
    Abstract:
    Sea turtles are endangered species that can be censused with aerial surveys, but the number of turtles in an area must be extrapolated to include animals that are submerged. Twenty-one satellite tags were attached to juvenile loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in North Carolina. I analyzed surfacing and dive behavior...

  • A taxonomy of biomolecular features

    Creator:
    North, Jacob L.
    Abstract:
    The scientific method applies hypothesis testing to material samples through experimentation, measurement, and data analysis, which produce representations—or features—that describe phenomena of interest. Biomolecular features come in numerous forms such as values, matrices, graphs, three-dimensional structures, trajectories, and molecular surfaces. Researchers have tested thousands of features related to protein molecules...

  • Soil Property Effects on Willamette Daisy (Erigeron decumbens) within William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge

    Creator:
    Day, Emily S.
    Abstract:
    Plant species diversity plays an important role in maintaining ecosystem function and the services that ecosystems provide. Diversity is threatened by habitat loss, invasive species, and global climate change. Willamette Daisy (Erigeron decumbens), an endangered species, has been reintroduced at two different sites (Field 29 and 8N) within William L....

  • Sustainability Analysis of African Palm Biodiesel in Ecuador : An Environmental, Socio-Cultural, and Artistic Perspective

    Creator:
    Tuinstra, Naomi A.
    Abstract:
    In the thrust to shift away from fossil fuels towards renewable options, Ecuador produces African palm-based biodiesel, which is currently imported by the Unites States. An analysis of this specific interaction was done via personal contact with the industry in Ecuador and extensive literature review of the topic. The results...

  • Sulforaphane Regulation of LncRNA in a Transplacental Nrf2 Knockout Mouse Model Exposed to Dibenzo[def,p]chrysene

    Creator:
    Patel, Karan A.
    Abstract:
    Dibenzo[def,p]chrysene (DBC) is a highly potent, but less prevalent, environmental carcinogen belonging to a class of compounds known as Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). They are highly ubiquitous and arise as a byproduct of natural and anthropogenic combustion processes. Previous studies have documented carcinogenic effects upon in utero exposure of PAHs....

  • Bird and bat interaction vision-based detection system for wind turbines

    Creator:
    Maurer, William Gage
    Abstract:
    Bird and bat collisions with wind turbine blades are an occurrence which are extremely variable in frequency. With the expansion of wind farms, determining the true quantity of collisions and the species involved is imperative for preventing ecological damage. Explored in this thesis is a blade mounted camera for wirelessly...

  • Deformation Reduction in Intermetallic NiAl Microlaminations

    Creator:
    Joyer, Michael J.
    Abstract:
    One method of fabricating intermetallic nickel-aluminum MECS devices involves diffusion bonding together pre-patterned elemental foils of nickel and aluminum. This process shows good potential for the mass-production of NiAl devices, but several quality issues remain. Of large concern is the deformation of internal features during the bonding process. This research...

  • Robotic path-planning through dynamic maps

    Creator:
    Bowie, Cameron Scott
    Abstract:
    Robotic global navigation is often based on the assumption that the world is static. It assumes that obstacles present in maps will be there later and new obstacles will be dealt with by a local planning algorithm. When robots interact in an environment inhabited by people, this assumption does not...

  • A Comparative Study of Non-Normal Distributions in Continuous Dropout

    Creator:
    Guyer, Alexander D.
    Abstract:
    Recent studies have shown that novel continuous dropout methods can be viewed as a Bayesian interpretation of model parameters, though most such studies have shown results using normal distributions. As the posterior distributions over neural network nodes and parameters are intractable, given that they are a result of artificial construction...
