An Evaluation of the Effects of Hatchery and Management Practices on Geomagnetic Orientation Behavior in Juvenile Pacific Steelhead Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Creator:: Scanlan, Michelle M.
Abstract:: Numerous populations of salmon and trout undergo extensive migrations, migrating from freshwater to the sea and throughout ocean basins. Years later they return to their natal streams with remarkable accuracy and precision. The outward migration is accomplished without the benefit of following experienced migrants or prior individual experience. Evidence suggests...

Magnetic map in nonanadromous Atlantic salmon

Creator:: Scanlan, Michelle M., Putman, Nathan F., Pollock, Amanda M., and Noakes, David L.
Abstract:: Long-distance migrants, including Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp), can use geomagnetic information to navigate. We tested the hypothesis that a “magnetic map” (i.e., an ability to extract positional information from Earth’s magnetic field) also exists in a population of salmon that do not undertake oceanic migrations. This study examined juvenile Atlantic...

Using Culture-independent Genomics as a Means for Understanding Chlamydial Biology

Creator:: Putman, Timothy E.
Abstract:: The chlamydiae are a family of obligate intracellular bacteria that have a unique bi-phasic developmental cycle, unique cellular properties, and a unique set of challenges to studying its biology. While genetic manipulation is becoming routine in Chlamydia, there are significant challenges to working with this intracellular parasite. The body of...

Predicting Conductivity Within a Resistive Unsteady MHD Channel

Creator:: Rajbhandari, Evan
Abstract:: The theory behind magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is utilized to present a 3-D solution to how the induced magnetic field changes with respect to time. Several MHD-based assump- tions are made to simplify the coupling of Maxwell’s equations with two constitutive laws and Ohm’s law. The velocity field is assumed to be...

Enhancing Facial Recognition: A Comparative Analysis of Image Preprocessing Techniques in PCA, KL Expansion and SVD

Creator:: Tuffour, Prince A.
Abstract:: Facial recognition has become increasingly important in recent years, due to the wide range of applications it has in fields such as security, surveillance, and human-computer interaction. Three popular methods for facial recognition are the Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Karhunen-Loeve Expansions, which is fundamentally a continuous form of PCA but...

Geomagnetic field influences upward movement of young Chinook salmon emerging from nests

Creator:: Putman, Nathan F., Scanlan, Michelle M., Pollock, Amanda M., O'Neil, Joseph P., Couture, Ryan B., Stoner, Joseph S., Quinn, Thomas P., Lohmann, Kenneth J., and Noakes, David L.
Abstract:: Organisms use a variety of environmental cues to orient their movements in three-dimensional space. Here, we show that the upward movement of young Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) emerging from gravel nests is influenced by the geomagnetic field. Fish in the ambient geomagnetic field travelled farther upwards through substrate than did...

Optimization under Uncertainty of a Magnetohydrodynamics Generator

Creator:: Rajbhandari, Evan
Abstract:: Within this dissertation, we develop tools and techniques to demonstrate the feasibility of real-time optimization of a magnetohydrodynamics generator. To ease computational complexity, we work on the kinematic magnetohydrodynamic system, prescribing the ﬂuid-ﬂow and model the material response of the system through an updated Generalized Ohm’s law. We focus on...

Polynomial Chaos Expansions for Random Ordinary Differential Equations

Creator:: McKenzie, Brian
Abstract:: We consider numerical methods for finding approximate solutions to Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) with parameters distributed with some probability by the Generalized Polynomial Chaos (GPC) approach. In particular, we consider those with forcing functions that have a random parameter in both the scalar and vector case. We then consider linear...

Electromagnetic Inverse Problem for Relaxation Time Distribution in the Time-Domain

Creator:: Armentrout, Megan
Abstract:: We consider wide bandwidth electromagnetic pulse interrogation problems for the determination of dielectric response parameters in complex dispersive materials. We couple Maxwell’s equations with an auxiliary ODE modeling dielectric polarization. A problem of particular interest is to identify parameters in a standard polarization model (e.g., Debye or Lorentz) using time-domain...

Modeling of Power Efficiency in a Magnetohydrodynamic Generator

Creator:: Redle, Michael T.
Abstract:: The introduction of an Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generator in coal or natural gas energy plants could significantly increase the efficiency by converting kinetic and thermal energy of the combustion exhaust to electrical energy by the generation of a Faraday and Hall current. The traditional MHD system was transformed into a simplified...
