  • Simple sequence repeat marker development and fingerprinting in Cuphea lanceolata Ait. and C. viscosissima Jacq

    Creator:
    Karmarkar, Vidyadhar M.
    Abstract:
    Microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are highthroughput sequence based DNA markers that have been exploited as tools for measuring genetic distance and diversity in evolutionary studies, protection of intellectual property, genetic resource conservation management, cultivar identification and molecular breeding of crop plants. We isolated and sequenced 1095 clones from...

  • Expert-gate algorithm

    Creator:
    Joshi, Varad Vidyadhar
    Abstract:
    The goal of Inductive Learning is to produce general rules from a set of seen examples, which can then be applied to other unseen examples. ID3 is an inductive learning algorithm that can be used for the classification task. The input to the algorithm is a set of tuples of...

  • Extending market potential of blueberries with controlled atmosphere storage

    Creator:
    Boonprasom, Pichaya
    Abstract:
    The goal of this research was to determine if controlled atmosphere (CA) storage could be used to extend the market period of fresh Pacific Northwest blueberries and to evaluate the effects different storage atmospheres have on fruit quality. Furthermore, this research also investigated heat and mass transfer characteristics during cooling...

  • Single nucleotide polymorphism diversity in domesticated and wild sunflowers

    Creator:
    Freeman, Carrie
    Abstract:
    Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common DNA polymorphisms in plant and animal genomes. SNPs were identified in the allele sequences of up to 12 sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) genotypes for a genome-wide sample of 81 loci originally mapped using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers. The RFLP loci...

  • A survey of linear programming algorithms

    Creator:
    Maurer, Roger J. (Roger Joseph), 1962-
    Abstract:
    Linear programming is a recent development in the field of Mathematics having its origin in the past seventy-five years. The purpose of this study was to identify several methods for solving linear programming problems. The algorithm for each of the methods is described in detail along with an analysis of...

  • Breeding tools for Cuphea : An updated genetic linkage map and fatty acid mutant candidate gene analysis

    Creator:
    Powers, Carol Anne
    Abstract:
    Medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs) are important industrial feedstocks for soaps, detergents and surfactants. Interspecific lines derived from Cuphea lanceolata and Cup hea viscosissima are being domesticated as a temperate source of MCFAs. These species also serve as model organisms for understanding the biosynthesis of MCFAs in seeds. Various markers...

  • HELM, hierarchical environment for linear modeling

    Creator:
    Brown, Carol E.
    Abstract:
    Several problems relating to linear programming modeling have been identified: (1) model formulation, validation and explanation are difficult and time consuming; (2) models must be frequently updated and debugged; (3) flexibility is needed to specify the model schema for a class of problems as a group; and (4) significant differences...

  • Parallel algorithms for decomposed linear programs

    Creator:
    Wu, Youfeng and Lewis, Ted G.
    Abstract:
    New parallel algorithms for solving the decomposed linear programs are developed. Direct parallelization of the sequential algorithm results in very limited performance improvement using multiple processors. By redesigning the algorithm, we achieved more than 2*P times performance improvement over the sequential algorithm, where P is the number of processors used...

  • Systematic Review of Prevalence, Risks, and Cultural Differences of Fractures and Falls Among Hispanic Communities

    Creator:
    Chitwood, Abigail
    Abstract:
    In the United States, falls are the leading cause of fractures and accidental death in the elderly; 70% of these fractures are women. Hispanic women account for a large population in the US, however data on falls and fractures for these women is lacking. The purpose of this systematic review...
