Biology of juvenile sockeye salmon resident in Chignik River, Alaska

Creator:: Iverson, Ronald Albert
Abstract:: The life history of juvenile sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) resident in Chignik River, Alaska, represents a departure from the lacustrine, pelagic existence typical of juveniles of this species. For this reason, the distribution, relative abundance in different parts of the river, growth, and upstream and downstream movements of juvenile sockeye...

A data-driven model of pedestrian movement

Creator:: Casburn, Ledah
Abstract:: This thesis presents a model for simulating individual pedestrian motion based on empirical data. The model keeps track of a pedestrian’s position, orientation, and body configuration and leverages motion capture data to generate plausible motion. Our model can automatically incorporate a pedestrian’s physical limitations when making movement decisions, since it...

Effect of berry integrity on proanthocyanidin extraction during wine production

Creator:: Cerpa-Calderon, Fiorella Karen
Abstract:: Proanthocyanidins are a grape-derived phenolic class of compound that provide wine with bitterness and astringency. Because of this, proanthocyanidins are considered to be essential components of wine quality. Proanthocyanidins are localized in the seed, skin and stem tissue of the grape berry and the composition of proanthocyanidins will vary depending...
