  • Performance of hybrid methods for representative nonproliferationproblems

    Creator:
    Bevill, Aaron M.
    Abstract:
    Adjoint-derived weight windowing is a hybrid deterministic/Monte Carlo method to simulate radiation transport. In adjoint-derived weight windowing, a deterministic adjoint solution is used to create weight windows for a Monte Carlo simulation. The intent of this work is to identify factors that reduce the Figure of Merit (FOM) of Monte...

  • Analysis of Duo for Flute and Piano by Aaron Copland

    Creator:
    Gustafson, Mariah S.
    Abstract:
    Aaron Copland is known by many as the founder of American Music and is still considered one of the pre-eminent composers to come from the Americas, particularly North America. He composed from 1917-1973, with many of his most recognizable works composed in the early 1940s. Duo for Flute and Piano...

  • "Her Hypnotic Eyes" : Reading the Optical in Aaron Douglas’s Aspects of Negro Life and Nella Larsen's Passing

    Creator:
    Barkley, Charles K.
    Abstract:
    This thesis examines two cultural productions of the Harlem Renaissance: Aaron Douglas's mural series, Aspects of Negro Life, and Nella Larsen's novel Passing. I read these works together because, more than their shared time period, they showcase an attention to the visual. Both Larsen and Douglas's works are concerned with...

  • Biology of chlamydospores of Phytophthora ramorum

    Creator:
    Smith, Aaron Lee
    Abstract:
    The chlamydospore is a survival spore produced by 35 of the 75 described species of Phytophthora. Phytophthora ramorum Werres, de Cock & Man in't Veld, the causal agent of Sudden Oak Death (SOD), produces abundant chlamydospores in artificial culture and plant tissue. The chlamydospore is likely the most important survival...

  • An Accumulation of Senescent Cells May Contribute to Chronic Inflammation of the Mammalian Liver

    Creator:
    Sugiyama, Aaron
    Abstract:
    The aging process is a biological phenomenon in mammals that heavily contributes to the onset of chronic diseases. While there are many theories that attempt to explain the biological onset of aging, one emerging theory involves chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation has been previously linked to several age-related diseases and is...

  • A beta dosimeter and spectrometer utilizing plastic scintillators and a large-area avalanche photodiode

    Creator:
    Kriss, Aaron A.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this research was to develop and test a radiation detector to perform beta dosimetry and spectroscopy. The detector utilizes plastic scintillator volumes to produce scintillation light in proportion to the amount of energy deposited in them, and a large-area avalanche photodiode to convert the light to electrical...

  • Unearthing the Cretaceous Diversification of Cornales

    Creator:
    Atkinson, Brian A.
    Abstract:
    The order Cornales (dogwoods) is the earliest diverging lineage within the most diverse group of flowering plants, the asterids (>80,000 species). Although molecular phylogenetics have significantly improved our understanding of cornalean systematics, early phylogenetic relationships remain uncertain due to an initial rapid radiation. The fossil record of Cornales is extensive...

  • Molecular systematic studies in the genus Ribes (Grossulariaceae)

    Creator:
    Messinger, Wes
    Abstract:
    Infrageneric classification in Ribes has previously relied on a few, often conflicting, morphological markers, such as spines, glands, and inflorescence morphology. Suggestions that hybridization drives the evolution of the genus have not been tested using phylogenetic methods. To assess the validity of infrageneric classifications and the importance of hybridization to...

  • A taxonomic revision of Astragalus mokiacensis and allied taxa within the Astragalus lentiginosus complex of Section Diphysi

    Creator:
    Alexander, J. Andrew
    Abstract:
    North America, with over 400 species of Astragalus (Fabaceae), is one of three major centers of diversity, all of which comprise the majority of the nearly 1750 species of Astragalus worldwide. One of the most diverse species, Astragalus lentiginosus of Section Diphysi, is a polymorphic complex of over 40 varieties,...
