  • Automated Monitoring of Modular Construction Factories using Computer Vision

    Creator:
    Panahi, Roshan
    Abstract:
    Modular construction is increasingly seen as an efficient construction method in terms of time, cost, and energy. The full realization of these advantages partly relies on the efficiency of the production process inside the modular factories, which currently rely on tedious manual monitoring methods or expensive automated techniques. As a...

  • Unoccupied aircraft systems in forest monitoring applications

    Creator:
    Barker, Matthew I.
    Abstract:
    In recent years, unoccupied aircraft systems (UAS) have become increasingly affordable and straightforward to incorporate in monitoring applications of forested ecosystems. This shift has facilitated interest in using these tools to monitor aspects of forest ecosystems including vegetation health, forest structure and composition, and potential habitat provided by these systems....

  • Advancing Spatial Data Engineering and Analysis: Integrative Approaches with GIS, Statistical Modelling, and Deep Learning

    Creator:
    Krivova, Maria
    Abstract:
    Geospatial data analysis is a multifaceted discipline encompassing the collection, processing, and visualization of diverse datasets. It models and delineates the interactions of people, objects, and phenomena within geographical spaces and predicts patterns based on the relationships between different locations. Despite significant advancements in geospatial data engineering and analytics over...

  • Host-Induced Gene Silencing in Black Cottonwood for Control of Septoria Canker: Efficacy and Non-Target Impacts

    Creator:
    Gordon, Michael I.
    Abstract:
    Septoria canker remains the most important disease of poplars in intensively managed forest plantations. Genetic resistance has long been considered the best way to manage for this disease. Transgenic resistance mediated by RNA silencing against pathogens and pests (HIGS: host-induced gene silencing) has shown promise in other pathosystems but has...

  • Metabolic and Immune Responses in Cnidarian-Symbiodiniaceae Symbiosis and Dysbiosis

    Creator:
    Sawiccy, Valeri
    Abstract:
    Coral reefs, found in tropical regions, are renowned for their rich biodiversity and their contributions to ecological, cultural, and economic aspects worldwide. The success of coral reefs hinges on the symbiotic partnership between corals and their dinoflagellate algae, from the family Symbiodiniaceae. The algae reside within the coral host’s gastrodermal...

  • Adaptive Learning Module for Introduction to Materials Science

    Creator:
    Nigon, Nutnicha
    Abstract:
    There is a growing need for individualized instructional designs in 4-year institutions due to: 1) growing undergraduate enrollment trends across the U.S., 2) broader diversity in students backgrounds, and 3) the growing prevalence of asynchronous remote learning. With the growth in computer technology in education, tools such as adaptive intelligent...

  • Biodiversity Responses in Early Seral Forests of the Klamath-Siskiyou: Comparisons with Birds, Bees, and Ground Beetles among Post-fire, Salvage Logging, and Intensive Forest Management Environments

    Creator:
    Frank, Graham S.
    Abstract:
    Early seral forests regenerating from stand-replacing disturbances provide unique habitat for many species in productive, temperate forest landscapes and contribute to supporting biodiversity. Population declines in some species associated with early seral forests have prompted concerns about the conservation of these habitats, particularly the characteristic structural and compositional complexity associated...

  • Multicellular monolayer’s self-organization under external stimuli

    Creator:
    Li, Guanyu
    Abstract:
    Cell signaling under external stimulation is a critical mechanism that governs many biological processes such as cell proliferation, cell migration, and cell apoptosis, etc. For multicellular organisms, the ability to synchronize heterogeneous individual cellular responses through intercellular communication is crucial to maintain normal functionality. However, even though the biological pathways...

  • Aromatic hydrocarbon contaminants : investigations of detection methods, bioremediation strategies, and toxicity impacts

    Creator:
    Huizenga, Juliana M.
    Abstract:
    Aromatic hydrocarbons represent a large class of environmental contaminants that have a broad range of structures, physicochemical properties, and toxicities. Arising from the burning of organic matter, particularly fossil fuels, they are both widespread and abundant in all environmental compartments. Both monoaromatic hydrocarbons (BTEX) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are...

  • Comprehensive Analysis of The Brain Metabolome Using Mass Spectrometry in Conjunction with Data Analysis Techniques

    Creator:
    Khorani, Mona
    Abstract:
    Metabolomics has recently gained momentum in biomolecule research and complements the genomics and proteomics research space. Metabolomics strives to detect, identify, and quantify all metabolites present in biological samples. In particular, biomolecular analysis using ultra-performance liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS) has become increasingly important for metabolomic analyses. Similarly,...
