Effects of interactions between predators, variable predation regimes, and species body size on rocky intertidal communities : comparative and experimental approaches

Creator:: Navarrete, Sergio A.
Abstract:: The body size (W) of animal species is one of the best predictors of population density (D) when large assemblages are considered. It has been shown that theoretically the D-W relationship can be the consequence of two other distributions: the log-normal distribution of body sizes of the species and of...

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...

Magneto-crystalline anisotropy calculation in thin films with defects

Creator:: Matusevich, David Sergio
Abstract:: The code is developed for the calculation of the magneto-crystalline anisotropy (MAE) in thin films using a classical Heisenberg hamiltonian with a correction developed by Van Vleck. A Metropolis style Monte Carlo algorithm was used with adequate corrections to accelerate the calculation. The MAE was calculated for the case of...

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,...

Monte Carlo random walk simulation as a complement to experimental and theoretical approaches : application to mass transfer in fish muscle tissue

Creator:: Almonacid-Merino, Sergio Felipe
Abstract:: Mass transfer processes in food systems, such as solute infusion, are poorly understood because of their complex nature. Food systems contain porous matrices and a variety of continuous phases within cellular tissues. Mass transfer processes are generally not pure diffusion: often convection, binding and obstructing diffusion will occur. Monte Carlo...

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...

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...

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....
