Amphipoda: Chapter 39 of The Light and Smith Manual: Intertidal Invertebrates from Central California to Oregon. Fourth Edition, Completely Revised and Expanded

Creator:: Chapman, John W.
Abstract:: The Amphipoda have been divided into the suborders Gammaridea, Caprellidea, Cyamidea, Hyperiidea and Ingolfiellidea (Schram 1986, Crustacea. Oxford University Press, New York). However, Myers and Lowry (2003) regard the caprellids, or skeleton shrimps, and the cyamids, or whale lice, as families Caprellidae and Cyamidae. These distinctive groups are covered in...

Developing a basis for characterizing precision of estimates produced from non-probability samples on continuous domains

Creator:: Cooper, Cynthia
Abstract:: This research addresses sample process variance estimation on continuous domains and for non-probability samples in particular. The motivation for the research is a scenario in which a program has collected non-probability samples for which there is interest in characterizing how much an extrapolation to the domain would vary given similarly...

Renewal risk processes with stochastic returns on investments : a unified approach and analysis of the ruin probabilities

Creator:: Constantinescu, Corina D.
Abstract:: This thesis considers one of the classical problems in the actuarial mathematics literature, the decay of the probability of ruin in the collective risk model. The claim number process N(t) is assumed to be a renewal process, the resulting model being referred as the Sparre Andersen risk model. The inter-claim...

A domain-specific embedded language for probabilistic programming

Creator:: Kollmansberger, Steven
Abstract:: Functional programming is concerned with referential transparency, that is, given a certain function and its parameter, that the result will always be the same. However, it seems that this is violated in applications involving uncertainty, such as rolling a dice. This thesis defines the background of probabilistic programming and domain-specific...

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...

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...

Disciplining the reception of Darwin : the botanical and sociological work of Lester Frank Ward

Creator:: Zimmerman, Katharine
Abstract:: The publication of Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species, truly a synthesized work of natural history, coincided with the emergence of specialized disciplines in the 19th century. This thesis aims to explore the relationship between the specialization of knowledge, in the form of disciplinization, and the reception of new...

Geneticist L.C. Dunn : politics, activism, and community

Creator:: Gormley, Melinda (Melinda Brooke)
Abstract:: L. C. Dunn (1893-1974) spent most of his scientific career conducting research in developmental genetics as a member of the Zoology Department at Columbia University in the City of New York. He had an accomplished scientific career researching mutations in mice, which earned him respect from other geneticists and scientists....

The role of competition, community, and priority in the discovery of the tau lepton

Creator:: Swanner, Leandra
Abstract:: This study examines the interactions between the scientific communities of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) in the discovery of the tau lepton by physicist Martin Perl between 1973- 1977. Perl became interested in searching for heavy leptons through positron-electron collision experiments using the...
