  • Rapid endangered species assessment : a novel approach to improve extinction risk assessments in poorly known species

    Creator:
    Bianchi, Carlos A.
    Abstract:
    The number of endangered species is rapidly increasing while paucity of adequate information and resources delays establishment of conservation actions. The IUCN’s listing system is insufficient to determine conservation priorities and many species lack information even to be evaluated (i.e., “data deficient”). Here I proposed and tested the Rapid Endangered...

  • Sensitivity and Partitioning in Remote Sensing Based Evapotranspiration Models

    Creator:
    Talsma, Carl J.
    Abstract:
    Satellite Based evapotranspiration (ET) models have become a dominant means to estimate large-scale surface fluxes of water. Global and regional ET estimates are important parameters in many climate forecasts and hydrologic models. However, large scale partitioning of ET into soil evaporation, transpiration, and canopy interceptions remains largely unknown and modeled...

  • The Geology, Geochronology, and Geochemistry of the Miocene Volcanic Rocks at the Inmaculada Ag-Au Mine, Southern Peru

    Creator:
    Cuellar Quispe, Juan Carlos
    Abstract:
    The Inmaculada Mine is located in the Miocene belt of epithermal deposits that extends from southern Peru to northern Chile and Bolivia. This belt is known for its silver-rich epithermal veins that have been worked since colonial times. The Inmaculada Mine belongs to a mining district that includes, from north...

  • Monte Carlo Radiation Transfer Simulations of Gamma Ray Burst Prompt Emission

    Creator:
    Parsotan, Tyler M.
    Abstract:
    Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic explosions in the Universe, producing up to $\sim10^{53}$ ergs of energy in the first few seconds of their emission -- the so-called prompt phase that is dominated by high energy X-ray and $\gamma$-ray photons. The very large luminosities released in these events...

  • Evaluation of Serratia Ureilytica as a Greener Unsealed Road Stabilization Method

    Creator:
    Portugal, Carla Ribeiro Machado e
    Abstract:
    Covering half of South America, Brazil is one of the largest agricultural and commercial forest producers globally, with a correspondingly complex road network necessary to support the production and marketing processes of such goods. Contrary to global statistics, almost 90% of the country’s road network is classified as unsealed or...

  • Application of Bootstrap Methods in Bioequivalence Studies for Oral Generic Prodrug Products

    Creator:
    Li, Wenjing
    Abstract:
    The methodology to perform bioequivalence studies for prodrug products has not been finalized by FDA leaving the investigators to speculate over the proper approach. This study innovatively utilized the bootstrap methods for testing in vivo bioequivalence on both parent drug and metabolite of four prodrug products: Clopidogrel, Prednisone, Allopurinol, and...

  • Predicting and Improving Throughput, Responsiveness and Battery Life of Computer Systems by Machine Learning

    Creator:
    Li, Yunfan
    Abstract:
    The Machine Learning (ML) algorithms are increasingly explored in varies of fields including designing and optimizing computer systems. Recent research, such as optimizing memory/cache prefetching by ML training or predicting traffic pattern in throughput processors, also exhibits a promising future of introducing ML into computer system design and optimization. Throughput...

  • Machine learning for computer architecture design and optimization

    Creator:
    Penney, Drew
    Abstract:
    Machine learning applied to computer architecture has rapidly transitioned from a theoretical novelty to being a driving force behind design, control, and simulation in practically all components. These machine-learning-based methodologies are further notable for their scalability to increasingly complex design challenges, which has allowed these methodologies to surpass the prior...

  • Survival Assessment, Inactivation Kinetics Models, and Farm-to-Table Quantitative Risk Analysis of Food Pathogens

    Creator:
    Deng, Kai
    Abstract:
    About 48 million cases of Foodborne illnesses (FBIs) are estimated to occur every year in the US. These are diseases caused by contamination of foods with bacteria, viruses, protozoa, parasites and toxic chemicals. Clostridium difficile infections (CDIs) are an important health-care and community associated problem. Since C. difficile spores have...

  • Structure-Property Relationships of Disordered Electronic Materials : From Crystalline to Amorphous

    Creator:
    Surta, Todd Wesley, Jr.
    Abstract:
    Two perovskite materials (Bi0.5(A)0.5)(Sc0.5Nb0.5)O3, where A = K+ and Na+ were synthesized phase pure for the first time. Their structures were determined by indexing synchrotron X-ray diffraction data and subsequent combined Rietveld refinement on neutron and synchrotron X-ray diffraction data revealing significant disorder on the A-sites of these materials. A...
