Creator:: Schwinkendorf, Kevin N.
Abstract:: Two new concepts have been explored in solving the neutron diffusion equation in one and two dimensions. At the present time, the diffusion equation is solved using source iterations. These iterations are performed in a mathematical form which has a great deal of physical significance. Specifically, the neutron production term...

Creator:: Betts, Curt M.
Abstract:: The solution of coupled neutronic/thermal hydraulic nuclear reactor calculations requires the treatment of the nonlinear feedback induced by the thermal hydraulic dependence of the neutron cross sections. As a result of these nonlinearities, current solution techniques often diverge during the iteration process. These instabilities arise due to the low level...

Creator:: Ritter, Kerry
Abstract:: Statisticians often focus on sampling or experimental design and data analysis while paying less attention to how the response is measured. However, the ideas of statistics may be applied to measurement problems with fruitful results. By examining the errors of measured responses, we may gain insight into the limitations of...

Creator:: Anthony, Jill Ada Marie
Abstract:: Wavelet analysis is an analytical and modeling tool for optimizing sampling efficiency and accuracy, particularly in the context of designing long-term, large-scale monitoring plans. As a pattern analysis method that accommodates and preserves non-stationarity, wavelet analysis provides novel visualization and analytical capabilities for increased insight into interactions between multi-scalar heterogeneous...

Creator:: Delongchamp, Robert
Abstract:: In regression analysis, random errors in an explanatory variable cause the usual estimates of its regression coefficient to be biased. Although this problem has been studied for many years, routine methods have not emerged. This thesis investigates some aspects of this problem in the setting of analysis of epidemiological data....

Full Text:: most standard approaches, the "correction for attenuation" method, is poor relative to other methods

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...
