Economic modeling of tropical deforestation in Antioquia (Colombia), 1980-2000 : an analysis at a semi-fine scale with spatially explicit data

Creator:: Orrego, Sergio A.
Abstract:: This dissertation used land rent theory and an economic model of land-use conversion to examine the main drivers of the deforestation occurred in Antioquia,Colombia, between 1980 and 2000. Land-cover information at a semi-fine scale (1:25,000) obtained largely from aerial photography was employed to calculate deforestation. In addition, free international databases...

Failure analysis of pre-notched composite laminated plates under four-point bending conditions

Creator:: Arias Gonzales, Sergio
Abstract:: Ever since composite laminate technology was introduced into the aerospace and automotive industry, there has been a need to fully understand the damage progression experienced by composite laminated plates in the presence of a notch. While numerous research studies have been conducted on this matter when subjected to in-plane loads,...

Towards Resolving Functional and Evolutionary Mysteries of the Large and Heterozygous Genome of Hop (Humulus lupulus) and the Cannabaceae Family Using Genomic Data Science

Creator:: Padgitt-Cobb, Lillian K.
Abstract:: Hop (Humulus lupulus L. var. lupulus) is a diploid, dioecious plant with an extensive history of cultivation and use in brewing, as a textile, and for its therapeutic properties. Hop is prized for its ability to produce a variety of aromatic and flavor compounds, as well as compounds with anti-microbial...

Nearshore distribution of barnacle and mussel larvae and oceanographic mechanisms of onshore transport and delivery

Creator:: Tyburczy, Joe A.
Abstract:: Recruitment of larvae from the plankton is an important determinant of community structure in marine systems. In populations of many marine species, recruitment determines the basic demographic parameters of immigration, emigration, and reproduction. Moreover, the effect of recruitment as an "ecological subsidy" can determine the strength of interactions among species...

Analysis and optimal sizing of an energy storage system for wind farm applications

Creator:: Yen, Zuan Z.
Abstract:: Modern wind energy is the technology of choice with a short payback period for increasing renewable energy portfolios. Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), a United States power authority in the Pacific Northwest expects to increase their wind energy capacity from 2,000 megawatts to 6,000 megawatts within the next five years. Currently...

Developing a Methodology to Study the Effects of Adhesive Flow Penetration on Wood Adhesive Bond Performance by using Micro X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT) and Digital Volume Correlation (DVC)

Creator:: Ching, Daniel Jackson
Abstract:: Wood composites are an important renewable structural material which can be a net carbon sink when used in combination with sustainable forest management practices and high rates of log utilization. Adhesive bondlines are an essential part of composites, and for wood composites, they determine the moisture durability and mechanical performance...

Perceptions of language change : a case study in Veneto

Creator:: Falda, Adelia
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis is to explore the current linguistic situation of the Venetian language (a minority language spoken in the northeastern Italian region of Veneto) and its relationship with Italian, the official language of Italy. This is a study of Venetian people and how they are reacting to...

Changing Climate, Changing Contexts : Variation in Rocky Intertidal Predator-prey Interactions Seen Through an Environmental Stress Framework

Creator:: Cerny-Chipman, Elizabeth B.
Abstract:: The multifaceted role of the environment in regulating the structure and dynamics of biological communities has long fascinated ecologists and motivated much debate and research. Now, in a time of accelerated global changes due to human impacts, the need to understand how the environment shapes communities has gained new urgency....

Vortical Structures in Transition to Turbulence through Randomly Packed Porous Media: Scale, Energy, and Mixing Characteristics

Creator:: Mohammadi Ziazi, Reza
Abstract:: Vortical structures are the driving mechanism of transition to turbulence in porous media requiring adequately resolved observations along with analysis of the scale and energy of ﬂow within the pores. Of speciﬁc interest is to understand the vortex dynamics, energy, and turbulent mixing and transport properties in the scale of...

Ecotypic variation of Schoenoplectus pungens (Vahl) Palla in response to salinity and inundation

Creator:: Del Giudice Tuttle, Elena
Abstract:: Local adaptation in plants may hold the key to understanding the level of resilience of an ecosystem and probability of persistence of a species in the face of rapid anthropogenic changes in climate and disturbance regime. Clonal species are especially important in wetlands, one of our most productive and vulnerable...
