Local and downstream effects of contemporary forest harvesting on streamflow and sediment yield

Creator:: Zégre, Nicolas P.
Abstract:: This dissertation is a collection of three manuscripts that serve to fill the knowledge gaps and advance methods of detecting the effects of contemporary forest harvesting in experimental catchment studies. While there is a preponderance of studies evaluating the environmental effects of forest harvesting in the western United States, few...

Action Segmentation in Videos: Deep Models, Prediction Diffusion, and Deep-Temporal Augmentations

Creator:: Aziere, Nicolas
Abstract:: This paper addresses the high model complexity and overconfident frame labeling of state-of-the-art (SOTA) action segmenters. Their complexity is typically justified by the need to sequentially refine action segmentation through multiple stages of a deep architecture. However, this multistage refinement does not take into account uncertainty of frame labeling predicted...

A Regional-Scale Three-Dimensional Susceptibility Model for Enhanced Evaluation of Rainfall- and Seismically-Induced Landsliding

Creator:: Mathews, Nicolas
Abstract:: Shallow landslides are destructive natural hazards that result in widespread losses, both of infrastructure and lives, throughout the world. To help mitigate the impact of landslide hazards, they are commonly characterized across a regional scale by (1) their location and likelihood using susceptibility maps, (2) their magnitude and frequency using...

The Function-Human Error Design Method (FHEDM)

Creator:: Soria Zurita, Nicolás F.
Abstract:: This research presents a methodology to identify and analyze human-system interactions, and their potential failure modes using a functional decomposition approach during the early system design stage. The fundamental research contribution of this work is the development of a framework to identify associations between physical user-product interactions, generic human errors...

Adaptive Self-governance of Small-scale Commercial Fishers in Northeast Puerto Rico: Characterizing Formal and Informal Cooperation during Times of Crises

Creator:: Gómez-Andújar, Nicolás X.
Abstract:: Small-scale fisheries often suffer from weak, formal governance, and in response they organize in various ways. These self-organizational arrangements rely on the capacity of informal institutions, such as norms and communication, in generating social cohesion among actors in the supply chain and therefore improve the likelihood of generating commonly devised...

Design of Complex Engineered Systems Using Multiagent Coordination

Creator:: Soria Zurita, Nicolás Francisco
Abstract:: This thesis is the combination of two research publications working toward a unified strategy in which the design of complex engineered systems can be completed using a multiagent coordination approach. Current engineered system modeling techniques segment large complex models into multiple groups to be simulated independently. These methods restrict the...

Performance of High-Strength Steel Reinforcement in Shear Friction Applications

Creator:: Matus Casanova, Nicolas A.
Abstract:: The use of high strength steel reinforcement has the potential to provide economic and constructability benefits when used in reinforced concrete structures. However, more research is needed to justify and confidently allow its use. Current design provisions limit the nominal yield strength of reinforcing steel bars to 60 ksi (420...

Conformational Consequences: Calcium Regulates the Association Between Dysferlin C2A & PI(4,5)P2

Creator:: Otto, Shauna C.
Abstract:: Dysferlin is a ∼230 kDa terminally anchored membrane protein that is ubiquitously expressed, but is particularly enriched in skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue. Mutations covering the length of the protein have been linked to muscle wasting diseases including limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and Myoshi myopathy. Dysferlin has been shown to play...

Incorporating and Learning Behavior Constraints for Sequential Decision Making

Creator:: Pinto, Jervis
Abstract:: Writing a program that performs well in a complex environment is a challenging task. In such problems, a method of deterministic programming combined with reinforcement learning (RL) can be helpful. However, current systems either force developers to encode knowledge in very specific forms (e.g., state-action features), or assume advanced RL...

Interactions between Oenococcus oeni and Brettanomyces bruxellensis during winemaking and consequences for wine quality

Creator:: DuBois, Aubrey E.
Abstract:: The growth of Brettanomyces bruxellensis is a major cause of wine spoilage due tothe production of the volatile phenols 4-ethylphenol (4-EP) and 4-ethylguaiacol (4-EG), derivatives of p-coumaric acid and ferulic acid. During the winemaking process,some microorganisms can impact the concentration of the 4-EP precursors pcoumaricand coutaric acid (tartaric acid-esterified p-coumaric...
