  • Diffusion Accelerated Implicit Monte Carlo via Nonlinear Elimination for Thermal Radiative Transfer

    Creator:
    Lam, Adam Q.
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, we derive and implement a new transport-diffusion hybrid algorithm for solving thermal radiative transfer (TRT) problems. Using the method of nonlinear elimination (NLEM), the TRT system of equations can be written in terms of a transport equation with the absence of scattering and a diffusion equation. The...

  • Generation of Multigroup Multiband Cross Sections with Monte Carlo Simulations

    Creator:
    Lam, Adam Q.
    Abstract:
    This is the investigation into The generation of high-fidelity multigroup multiband cross sections from Monte Carlo neutron transport simulations. Previous methods for generating multigroup multiband (MGMB) cross sections, and multigroup cross sections, assume an approximate shape for the scalar flux. This approximate flux shape is the product of an energy-dependent...

  • Fine-Grained Object Recognition Under Limited Training Data

    Creator:
    Lam, Michael Q.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation addresses object recognition in challenging settings, where distinct object classes are visually very similar (e.g., species of birds and insects) and/or access to training examples of object classes is limited (e.g., due to the associated high costs of data annotation). In this dissertation, we present a variety of...

  • Alkylation studies on Hagemann's ester: an approach to the synthesis of the trisporic acids

    Creator:
    Sung, Wing Lam
    Abstract:
    Sequential alkylation of Hagemann's ester with methyl and methallyl halides has been studied. Treatment of Hagemann's ester with methyl iodide and sodium ethoxide gave a mixture of 21 and 25 in a ratio of 4:1. Alkylation of 21 with methallyl chloride and potassium t-butoxide afforded a mixture of 37 and...

  • Antibiotic Discovery in Soil Bacteria Isolated from Indonesian Black Water Ecosystems

    Creator:
    Lam, Phillip Westly
    Abstract:
    Soil bacteria are known to be a prolific source of bioactive compounds. They produce secondary metabolites that can be used as therapeutic agents. This investigation focused on the chemistry and biology of secondary metabolites from two soil bacteria, Streptomyces herbaricolor ICBB 9409 and Streptomyces albiflaviniger ICBB 9297, which were isolated...

  • A method of seismic design for prestressed concrete highway bridge girders

    Creator:
    Lam, Kwok To
    Abstract:
    The effects of vertical ground motion are particularly significant in the design of highway bridge girders. Conventional codes do not recommend methods for solving the problem. The intent of this work is to suggest an approach for such design. A set of curves for velocity spectra which are the average...

  • Metagenomics Analysis Reveal Host-Microbe Interactions in Cervical Cancer

    Creator:
    Lam, Khiem C.
    Abstract:
    Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide. Recently it has been shown that microbiota play a role in some types of cancer. Therefore, to understand whether microbes contribute in any way to the development and progress of cervical cancer, we investigated the cervical microbiome via analysis...

  • Object detection in biological images using a search-based framework

    Creator:
    Lam, Michael
    Abstract:
    This thesis addresses a basic problem in computer vision, that of semantic labeling of images. Our work is aimed at object detection in biological images for evolutionary biology research. In particular, our goal is to detect nematocysts in Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images. This biological domain presents challenges for existing...

  • Exploration of statistical methods for synthesizing the effects of variable-retention harvesting on multiple taxa

    Creator:
    Lam, Tzeng Yih
    Abstract:
    Variable-retention harvesting was proposed to reduce loss of biodiversity and ecosystem processes associated with late-seral Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forests in the Pacific Northwest. The Demonstration of Ecosystem Management Options experiment was established to test this hypothesis. Analysis presents various challenges to drawing statistical inferences about treatment effects. This dissertation explored...

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Duc X.
    Abstract:
    TAC is the most commonly used medication in post transplantation maintenance immunosuppression therapy. TAC lipophilicity and its erratic oral absorption especially in the presence of food intake result in great intra- and interpatient pharmacokinetic variations. Complicated dosing and frequent required therapeutic monitoring is thought to be the main cause of...
