Mixing Times for Diffusive Lattice-Based Markov Chains

Creator:: Titus, Mathew W.
Abstract:: Markov chains have long been used to sample from probability distributions and simulate dynamical systems. In both cases we would like to know how long it takes for the chain's distribution to converge to within varepsilon of the stationary distribution in total variation distance; the answer to this is, called...

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...

Unraveling tissue regeneration using chemical genetics

Creator:: Mathew, Lijoy K.
Abstract:: The emerging field of regenerative medicine is mainly approached by two different aspects. First is the use of stem cell based models to generate a suite of differentiated cells for therapeutic applications and the alternative approach is to utilize the non-mammalian models that have the inherent capacity to regenerate their...

Radiative heat transfer in combustion applications : parallel efficiencies of two gas models, turbulent radiation interactions in particulate laden flows, and coarse mesh finite difference acceleration for improved temporal accuracy

Creator:: Cleveland, Mathew A.
Abstract:: We investigate several aspects of the numerical solution of the radiative transfer equation in the context of coal combustion: the parallel efficiency of two commonly used opacity models, the sensitivity of turbulent radiation interaction (TRI) effects to the presence of coal particulate, and an improvement of the order of temporal...

The electrical conductivity of Atlantic type pyromagmas from Mount Etna, Sicily

Creator:: Mathews, Frank Samuel
Abstract:: The electrical conductivity of the pyromagmas from the Northeast Crater of Mount Etna, Sicily was measured over the temperature range 1032°C to 1071°C and over the frequency range 1 kHz to 400 kHz. Measurements were made using a four-terminal Wenner array in conjunction with a Wavetek Model 110B portable signal...

Language and learning : a case study of a Vietnamese unaccompanied minor in a post secondary setting

Creator:: Davis, Kay Mathews
Abstract:: This study was an ethnographic case study of a Vietnamese unaccompanied minor in a post secondary setting. There were two guiding questions for the study: (1) How does the subject perceive language as it relates to educational experience? (2) What kinds of observable personality, cognitive, or affective factors have contributed...

The attitudes of Oregon State Penitentiary minority inmates towards activity programs as a rehabilitative tool

Creator:: McIntosh, Mathew Allen
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to determine the attitudes of three Oregon State Penitentiary minority inmate groups - Blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans - towards the Activities Programs as a rehabilitative tool. Two other purposes were to (1) determine significant differences among group attitudes, and (2) determine the degree...

Teacher attending behaviors directed to at risk high school students

Creator:: Mathews, Stephen E.
Abstract:: Approximately one quarter of America's students leave school prior to graduation. Teaching practices need to be examined if schools are to effectively deal with the student population. at highest risk of dropping out. The purpose of this study was to investigate the attending behaviors high school teachers directed to students...

Learning algorithms for adapting the compliance of robotic limbs

Creator:: Aboufazeli, Mahtab
Abstract:: Motivation: Many robots such as legged robots and prosthetic hands/arms are designed to interact with uncertain and time-varying environments to accomplish their tasks. Observations on humans and animals during their daily tasks suggest that they adapt their leg compliance while traversing with different velocities on different grounds and adjust their...
