The time-averaged circulation of the north Pacific Ocean : an analysis based on inverse methods

Creator:: Zaron, Edward D.
Abstract:: The time-averaged velocity field in the North Pacific was estimated in two sets of inverse calculations. The planetary geostrophic equations were the basis for dynamical models of the flow in each case. The inverse estimates of the circulation were obtained by minimizing a positive-definite cost function, which measured the inconsistency...

Existence of a solution to a variational data assimilation method in two-dimensional hydrodynamics

Creator:: Hagelberg, Carl R.
Abstract:: The main result of this paper is a proof of the existence of a solution generated by a method for the variational assimilation of observational data into the two-dimensional, incompressible Euler equations. The data are assumed to be given by linear (measurement) functionals acting on the space of functions representing...

Plant-Pollinator Interactions in a Changing World: Cryptic Specialization, Pollinator Movement, and Landscape Genetics of Pollinator-Dependent Plants

Creator:: Gannon, Dustin G.
Abstract:: Plant-pollinator mutualisms are one of the most prevalent and economically important mutualisms in nature. Like many other ecological systems, plant-pollinator communities are threatened by anthropogenic activity, both directly (e.g., habitat conversion and fragmentation) and indirectly (e.g., climate change). While we are aware of many of the activities that adversely impact...

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...

Quantifying linear disturbance growth in periodic and aperiodic systems

Creator:: Wolfe, Christopher Lee
Abstract:: The mathematical and physical connections between three different ways of quantifying linear predictability in geophysical fluid systems are studied in a series of analytical and numerical models. Normal modes, as they are traditionally formulated in the instabilities theories of geophysical fluid dynamics, characterize the asymptotic development of disturbances to stationary...

Automatic program generation for scientific computing

Creator:: Fu, Zhe
Abstract:: The code reuse problem is a common software engineering problem in scientific computing. As a prevailing programming language in many scientific fields, Fortran does not provide support to address this problem. One particular reason is that Fortran lacks the support for generic programming. By applying program-generation techniques, we developed two...

Sequence conversion during adenovirus DNA replication

Creator:: Bennett, Kelly L.
Abstract:: The work in this thesis has provided conclusive genetic evidence that "panhandle" intermediates form during adenovirus replication. Adenovirus chromosomes lacking 51 by from their left -hand termini are infectious and capable of regenerating the missing origin sequence. Yet if an entire inverted terminal repeat is removed, the adenovirus chromosome is...

Communication-Efficient Secure Two-Party Computation From Minicrypt and OT

Creator:: Roy, Lawrence
Abstract:: Secure two-party computation (2PC) is the task of performing arbitrary calculations on secret inputs provided by two parties, while maintaining secrecy if at least one party is honest. 2PC has been applied to privacy-preserving record linkage and machine learning, in areas such as medicine where maintaining privacy is crucial. One...

The relationship of ego development, empathy, and mature moral judgment in women graduate counseling students

Creator:: Bennett, F. Katharine
Abstract:: The central problem of this study was to determine whether ego stage scores are valid predictors of empathy and mature moral judgment in women graduate counseling students. The research was based on the theories of ego development (Loevinger, 1976), empathy (Rogers, 1975; Hogan, 1975) and moral values (Hogan, 1970). Forty-three...

Structural investigations to understand the mechanisms of two proteins involved in sulfur chemistry : SsuE and cysteine dioxygenase

Creator:: Driggers, Camden McCullough
Abstract:: Sulfur is one of the six elements required during the early stages of the evolution of life, and enzymes involved in sulfur transfer and oxidation are increasingly being recognized as potential drug targets for antimicrobials as well as for therapies for cancer, neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases. Bacteria are able to...
