Genomic Resources for Phylogenetics, Species Delimitation, and Geographic Localization of Neotropical Tree Species Cedrela odorata L. (Meliaceae)

Creator:: Finch, Kristen N.
Abstract:: Biodiversity loss is of global concern, and is due in part to deforestation and high consumer demand for wood and wood products. The neotropical tree species Cedrela odorata (“Spanish cedar” or “cedro”) is economically valuable for its wood and faces threats of overexploitation. Due to strong similarities in wood features...

Dataset for predicting the geographic origin of Spanish Cedar (Cedrela odorata L.) based on DNA variation

Creator:: Finch, Kristen N.
Abstract:: The legality of wood products in trade often depends on their geographic origin, creating a need for forensic tools that can verify claims of provenance for wood and wood products. Cedrela odorata L. or Spanish cedar is a target of illegal logging. We developed a 140 SNP Agena™ MassARRAY® assay...

Directional Decisions in an Egress task: Systematic manipulation of the relative speed, onset, and onset asynchrony of neighboring pedestrians

Creator:: Durand, Lucy A.
Abstract:: Examining directional decisions has proven easier in experiments with fish than in humans. With virtual reality, it is now easier to investigate directional decision-making behavior in humans. This remote virtual study examined directional decisions in 109 participants after watching virtual pedestrians, walking at different speeds and entering at different times,...

A Study of Learning Effectiveness between Augmented and Traditional Methods in Crafting Origami

Creator:: Ramos, Symon P.
Abstract:: Traditionally, people learn to perform object assembly tasks by following the steps in a paper-based instruction manual. Using augmented reality (AR) technology, the instructions could instead be computer generated and appear directly within the user’s workspace as they perform the task. Literature suggests AR’s feasibility in improving performance and learning...

Photo-enhanced Toxicity of Oil Constituents and Corexit 9500 to Gulf of Mexico Marine Organisms

Creator:: Finch, Bryson E.
Abstract:: Significant inputs of hydrocarbons are continually released into the environment from anthropogenic and natural sources. Some of the most toxic hydrocarbon compounds are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are known for their ability to absorb ultraviolet light and enhance toxicity. Generally, PAHs exert their toxicity via narcosis but UV-absorbing...

When she was bad : framing female killers in contemporary film

Creator:: Finch, Kurstin
Abstract:: This thesis presents an analysis of seventeen contemporary blockbuster films in which women kill people. The purpose of the analysis is to discover the "frames" with which film producers, directors, scriptwriters and actors portray women in film. The thesis first establishes the model in use in the analysis: Entman's model...

Decision-making Under Uncertainty: Interpretation and Use of Ranges Depicted in Bar Graphs by End Users and Test Users

Creator:: Chiou, Andrea C.
Abstract:: Though people generally seem to be able to interpret data, they are subject to errors and biases that are influenced by the format of the graphical visualization itself. The current study sought to assess whether individuals could interpret bar graphs with min/max range bars, whether they could use this information...

Learning movements from a virtual instructor

Creator:: LaFortune, Jasper
Abstract:: We examined the effects of perspective (first person versus third person) and immersion (immersive virtual reality versus nonimmersive video screen) on motor learning in order to assess the format of mental action representations. We also evaluated whether these effects were modulated by experience. Experienced dancers and novices practiced line dances...

3D cone beam reconstruction formulas for the transverse-ray transform with source points on a curve

Creator:: Wongsason, Patcharee
Abstract:: 3D vector tomography has been explored and results have been achieved in the last few decades. Among these was a reconstruction formula for the solenoidal part of a vector field from its Doppler transform with sources on a curve. The Doppler transform of a vector field is the line integral...

The Variable Speed Wave Equation and Perfectly Matched Layers

Creator:: Kim, Dojin
Abstract:: A perfectly matched layer (PML) is widely used to model many different types of wave propagation in different media. It has been found that a PML is often very effective and also easy to set, but still many questions remain. We introduce a new formulation from regularizing the classical Un-Split...
