Patterns of Introgression Across Clinal Hybrid Zones
(2020-03-16)
A common goal in studies of natural hybridization is to understand how adaptation and speciation create genome-wide variation over spatial gradients. The speciation process generates genomic signatures that can be detected ...
Computational Framework for Magnetic Sensing in Structural Health Monitoring Applications via Magnetic Shape Memory Alloys
(2020-04-10)
In the field of structural health monitoring (SHM), innovative methods of non-destructive evaluation (NDE) are currently being investigated for the purpose of enabling safer, longer lasting structures. While current SHM ...
An Evaluation of Re-vegetation on Streambank Stability and Erosion
(2020-03-30)
An essential, natural process of a stream is the movement of sediment. However, the natural balance of sediment transport in a stream is seldom observed as a result of anthropogenic implications. An urbanizing stream can ...
