Ruin theory under uncertain investments

Creator:: Constantinescu, Corina D.
Abstract:: An insurance company, having an initial capital u, receives premiums continuously and pays claims of random sizes at random times. A classical result states that if the rate of premium, c, exceeds the average of the claims paid per unit time, ⋋μ, then the ruin probability decays exponentially fast as...

High-temperature, high-pressure NMR probe for superconducting magnets

Creator:: Mullen, Corina P.
Abstract:: A high-temperature, high-pressure autoclave has been adapted for use with a high-field nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer. The autoclave has an internal pressure range of atmospheric pressure to 1.5 kbar and a temperature range of 273 K to 1900 K. The autoclave is usable in a high field (8 T) magnet...

Determining the relationship between measured residence time distributions in lateral surface transient storage zones in streams and corresponding physical characteristics

Creator:: Coleman, Anthony M.
Abstract:: Surface transient storage (STS) in stream ecosystems serve an important function in retaining nutrients and refugia for aquatic communities. Unfortunately, they can retain contaminants as well. Therefore, it is of importance to determine the residence time distribution (RTD). A RTD of a particular STS zone encompasses the time it takes...

Eaffective Ecopoetics as a Practice for Feeling a World in Crisis

Creator:: Platt, Benjamin D.
Abstract:: Discussions of ecopoetics often seek to investigate how poetics as a form can be rendered more ecological, often in contrast to nature poetry. These conversations tend to concentrate on this generic contrast and the formal qualities of an ecological poetics. Ecopoetics as a field emerged largely as a response to...

A molecular and morphologic study of idiopathic fetlock hyperextension and suspensory apparatus breakdown in the llama

Creator:: Reed, Shannon Kelly
Abstract:: Suspensory apparatus breakdown and hyperextension of the metacarpophalangeal and metatarsophalangeal (fetlock) joints is a common condition in the llama and has been observed in llamas of all ages. Llama breeders refer to the condition as "down in the pasterns" or "down in the fetlocks." The condition can result in debilitating...

RANS and LES predictions of turbulent scalar transport in dead zones of natural streams

Creator:: Drost, Kevin J.
Abstract:: Natural stream systems contain a variety of ﬂow geometries which contain ﬂow separation, turbulent shear layers, and recirculation zones. This work focuses on streams with dead zones. Characterized by slower ﬂow and recirculation, dead zones are naturally occurring cutouts in stream banks. These dead zones play an important role in...

The Role of Plant-soil Feedback in the Invasion of Brachypodium sylvaticum in Douglas-fir Forests

Creator:: Esterson, Andrew
Abstract:: Invasive plants have the capacity to transform landscapes and alter ecosystem function, causing significant economic and ecological damage. These effects include displacement and reduction of native flora and fauna, altered fire regimes, modification of biotic and abiotic soil properties, as well as local, regional, and global economic impacts. With such...

Addressing the relationship between Pseudoperonospora cubensis and P. humuli using phylogenetic analyses and host specificity assays

Creator:: Mitchell, Melanie N.
Abstract:: The two most economically important plant pathogens in the Pseudoperonospora (Peronosporaceae) genus are P. cubensis, causal agent of cucurbit downy mildew, and P. humuli, causal agent of hop downy mildew. These organisms have been shown to be very closely related phylogenetically and morphologically. In 2005, researchers in Korea proposed that...

Rendering and Simulation for Tires Rolling on Snow

Creator:: Clucas, Alexander
Abstract:: Modeling tire-snow interaction is important in designing effective snow tires, which directly affects road safety during wintry weather. Unfortunately, tires have complex tread designs and the physical properties of snow have not been characterized. We employ the Material Point Method (MPM) for simulating a material that mimics the fracturing and...
