Design and implementation of a simplified Kalman filter for an ocean circulation model

Creator:: Yao, Yunda
Abstract:: A Kalman filter was developed to recover information on short period variations of ocean circulation from the satellite altimeter signals for the North Pacific Ocean. The ocean circulation at each grid point is specified by three variables: sea level height h, zonal velocity u, and meridional velocity v. In our...

Modeling studies of ocean circulation using inverse methods and bifurcation theory

Creator:: Vernieres, Guillaume
Abstract:: We present a study of the ocean circulation using state of the art numerical and data assimilation techniques. The second chapter of the thesis presents the development and application of generalized inversion to a simple dynamical model of Lake Kinneret. The intent was to develop the necessary tools to implement...

Effects of stencil width on surface ocean geostrophic velocity and vorticity estimation from gridded satellite altimeter data

Creator:: Arbic, Brian K., Scott, Robert B., Chelton, Dudley B., Richman, James G., and Shriver, Jay F.
Abstract:: This paper examines the effect of “stencil width” on surface ocean geostrophic velocity and vorticity estimated from differentiating gridded satellite altimeter sea surface height products. In oceanographic applications, the value of the first derivative at a central grid point is generally obtained by differencing the sea surface heights at adjacent...

Phosphorus physiology and environmental forcing of oceanic cyanobacteria, primarily Trichodesmium spp.

Creator:: White, Angelicque E.
Abstract:: The biological transformation of dinitrogen gas (N2) into combined forms(termed N2 fixation) by certain genera of oceanic cyanobacteria represents the largest incoming flux of nitrogen to the global ocean. As such, biological nitrogen fixation plays a significant role in the regulation of oceanic productivity and the export of carbon and...

Studies towards the total syntheses of (+)-phomactins A, D and G

Creator:: Schwartz, Keith D.
Abstract:: Studies towards the total synthesis of (+)-Phomactin A (1), D (6), and G (9), fungal metabolites with unique molecular architecture and pronounced biological activity, are described. These studies resulted in the synthesis of advanced intermediates 354 and 356, which contain all of the carbon atoms of 1, 6 and 9....

On his own terms : William James, identity, and the development of American Psychology

Creator:: Stoller, Kevin R.
Abstract:: William James came of age at a time of great social and intellectual change in the United States. During this period, new professional identities proliferated, and a new culture of professionalization developed with important ramifications for conceptions of individual and social identity. Professionalization was also closely related to key intellectual...

The Effect of Affect: A Close Reading of LeBron James’ Athlete Activism

Creator:: Campista, Joshua, I.
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis is to argue that LeBron James’ expressions of activism are, in many ways, perceived as insincere, hypocritical or disingenuous to his followers on the social media platform Twitter. Using the theoretical framework of Affect Theory and Plutchik’s wheel of emotions, a close reading was conducted...

Cis-2,5-diaminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane : a novel C₂-symmetric scaffold for asymmetric catalysis

Creator:: Shaw, Subrata
Abstract:: This thesis describes the development of a new enantioselective synthetic method employing chiral cis-2,5-diaminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane-based organometallic catalysts. The significance of this new method to organic synthesis is illustrated with preparation of enantioenriched products that are transformed to important pharmaceutical agents. Chapter 1 provides a brief historical overview of asymmetric catalysis, especially...

Torn : A Cluster Analysis

Creator:: Mulatero Ferrando, Oriana
Abstract:: Pornography remains one of the most controversial topics in our culture. Politicians, religious groups, and special interest organizations tend to focus on the ‘effects’ pornography has on those who consume it, and fear that pornography is a threat to public health. The general discourse surrounding pornography is that men produce...

Effects of Biochar-Based Seed Coatings on Seed Germination and Seedling Vigor of California Brome (Bromus carinatus L.) and Blue Wildrye (Elymus glaucus L.)

Creator:: James, Matthew Scott
Abstract:: California brome and blue wildrye are important native grass species in the Pacific Northwest. However, both species have been reported to have low emergence under less than favorable field conditions. Seed coating is used to improve emergence and stand establishment of various crops. Three studies were carried out to determine...
