Applied economic strategies to evaluate policies and environmental outcomes: case studies from immigration and ecosystem services

Creator:: Natanson, Alexander D.
Abstract:: My dissertation title is, “Applied economic strategies to evaluate policies and environmental outcomes: case studies from immigration and ecosystem services.” The first two chapters of this dissertation concern the relationship between local immigration policies and societal welfare. The third chapter examines the impact of human activity on the environment and...

An Approach to Modeling Fuel Plate Deformations in Fluid-Structure Interactions

Creator:: Howard, Trevor
Abstract:: As computational power increases, so does the desire to use fluid-structure interaction (FSI) software to design complex systems and components such as fuel plates. Presently, an effort is underway to support the design and qualification of a new nuclear fuel material which is intended for applications in select, plate-type, research...

Creator:: Varsani, Arvind, Porzig, Elizabeth L., Jennings, Scott, Kraberger, Simona, Farkas, Kata, Julian, Laurel, Masaro, Melanie, Ballard, Grant, and Ainley, David G.
Abstract:: Little is known about viruses associated with Antarctic animals, although they are probably widespread. We recovered a novel polyomavirus from Adélie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae) faecal matter sampled in a subcolony at Cape Royds, Ross Island, Antarctica. The 4988 nt Adélie penguin polyomavirus (AdPyV) has a typical polyomavirus genome organization with...

Creator:: Averett, Joshua P., McCune, Bruce, Parks, Catherine G., Naylor, Bridgett J., DelCurto, Tim, and Mata-González, Ricardo
Abstract:: Mountain environments are currently among the ecosystems least invaded by non-native species; however, mountains are increasingly under threat of non-native plant invasion. The slow pace of exotic plant invasions in mountain ecosystems is likely due to a combination of low anthropogenic disturbances, low propagule supply, and extreme/steep environmental gradients. The...

Creator:: Jackson, Alexis M., Semmens, Brice X., de Mitcheson, Yvonne Sadovy, Heppell, Scott A., and et al.
Abstract:: To address patterns of genetic connectivity in a mass-aggregating marine fish, we analyzed genetic variation in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), microsatellites, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for Nassau grouper (Epinephelus striatus). We expected Nassau grouper to exhibit genetic differentiation among its subpopulations due to its reproductive behavior and retentive oceanographic conditions...

Sequencing using Surrogate Values on Paced Assembly Lines

Creator:: Alfaiz, Faisal S.
Abstract:: On a paced mixed-model assembly line various product variants are assembled in the same sequence of serially arranged workstations that make up the line. The goal is to assemble the products with the lowest cost possible while meeting demand requirements. Since the work content of product variants may differ at...

Electrochemical Reactions in Aqueous Batteries with Anionic Charge Carriers

Creator:: Gallagher, Trenton C.
Abstract:: In this dissertation, the primary objective is to discover more sustainable electrode materials and study new reaction mechanisms using aqueous electrolytes. The first study conducted reveals a reversible conversion reaction from copper to Cu2CO3(OH)2. The reaction mechanism uses OH- and CO32- as charge carriers at the cathode. The results open...

Integer programming for optimized facility location

Creator:: Maki, William Richard
Abstract:: This thesis presents a general model for the location problem based on integer linear programming with fixed charges. The location problem is concerned with choosing locations for facilities throughout a particular region or area in such a way that total costs and expenses incurred are minimized. Although the location problem...

An irrigation efficiency model for optimum irrigation management

Creator:: Isbell, Brett, 1978-
Abstract:: Improved water use efficiencies in irrigated agriculture are necessary to assist in coping with the accelerating demand and economic competition for the world's fresh water supply and increasing ecological concerns. This will likely rely in part on optimum irrigation, which implies regulated deficit irrigation. While conventional irrigation management is intended...

Three Topics on Coastal Hazards : Propagation, Transformation, and Impact

Creator:: Ko, Harrison T.
Abstract:: An understanding of natural coastal hazards is essential for improving resilience of coastal communities. Effective management of coastal hazards relies on prediction tools and mitigation structures that have been designed to handle the dynamic coastal system. This dissertation is a collection of manuscripts that cover a diverse range of fundamental...
