Pyrogeography of the Southeast USA: Exploring the Relationships between Wildfire and Climate
(2014-07-08)
Wildfire plays a contradictory role as both a hazard and a necessary ecological process in certain ecosystems. A variety of factors influence wildfire, including fuel type and quantity, land management policies, and patterns ...
Towards Stunt-Free Lonren Reniform Nematode Resistance by Dissection of an Alien R-Gene Chromosome Segment and Detection of Significant Fungal Interactions
(2014-07-07)
Reniform (Rotylenchulus reniformis) nematodes cost US cotton growers over 130 million dollars per year. Genetic resistance of the wild African species Gossypium longicalyx to reniform nematodes was previously transferred ...
Modeling Wave-Wave Interactions and 3-D Wave-Induced Circulation in the Presence of Reflection-Diffraction
(2015-05-04)
Accurate prediction of wave environment is critical to the design of ports, harbors and coastal structures. In this dissertation, two advancements for existing phase-resolving models based on elliptic mild-slope equation ...
Compactness of the ∂ ̅ -Neumann Operator on the Intersection Domains in ℂ^(N)
(2014-07-10)
In this dissertation we are concerned with a problem which asks whether the compactness of the ∂ ̅-Neumann operator is preserved under the intersection of two bounded pseudoconvex domains in ℂ^(n) with the mild assumption ...

Novel Continuous-Time Low-Pass Filter
(2015-12-08)
Continuous-time analog filters are important blocks for analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and IF filtering in receivers. Nowadays, cost and power consumption are major concerns for portable devices, so a low-power high ...
Single Particle Fluorescence Burst Analysis of Membrane Fission
(2015-05-13)
The ability to catalyze the fission step of endocytosis is critical to many biological processes including cell communication and synaptic transmission. This activity must be tightly regulated for cellular homeostasis. ...
Built Environmental Correlates of Traffic Collisions
(2014-07-01)
Traffic safety has become an important concern in recent years. Built environmental characteristics have been identified as a critical factor in affecting traffic safety. However, several research gaps remain in the ...
Adhesion and the Surface Energy Components of Natural Minerals and Aggregates
(2011-10-21)
A range of geochemical reactions are controlled by the interfacial characteristics
of rocks and minerals. Many engineered and natural systems are affected by
geochemical reactions that occur at interfaces. Asphalt-aggregate ...
