A Bio-Inspired Multi-Agent System Framework for Real-Time Load Management in All-Electric Ship Power Systems
(2012-07-16)
All-electric ship power systems have limited generation capacity and finite rotating inertia compared with large power systems. Moreover, all-electric ship power systems include large portions of nonlinear loads and dynamic ...
Novel Virulent Phages for Xylella fastidiosa and Other Members of the Xanthomonadaceae
(2013-08-27)
The xylem-limited bacterium, Xylella fastidiosa, is the causal agent of several plant diseases, most notably Pierce’s Disease of grapes and citrus variegated chlorosis. We report on the isolation and characterization of ...
Integration of Non-volatile Memory into Storage Hierarchy
(2013-12-04)
In this dissertation, we present novel approaches for integrating non-volatile memory devices into storage hierarchy of a computer system. There are several types of non- volatile memory devices, such as flash memory, Phase ...
Multi-temporal Terrestrial Lidar for Estimating Individual Tree Dimensions and Biomass Change
(2013-10-30)
Accurate measures of forest structural parameters are essential to forest inventory and growth models, managing wildfires, and modeling of carbon cycle. Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) provides accurate understory information ...
A PAM-4 VCSEL TRANSMITTER WITH 2.5 TAP NON-LINEAR EQUALIZER IN 65NM CMOS
(2017-12-14)
This thesis presents a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) based transmitter that uses a nonlinear equalizer to equalize for nonlinear and bandwidth limited behavior of VCSEL. The transmitter employs PAM4 ...
Enhanced Land Subsidence and Seidment Dynamics in Galveston Bay- Implications for Geochemical Processes and Fate and Transport of Contaminants
(2013-07-05)
Galveston Bay is the second largest estuary in the Gulf of Mexico. The bay’s watershed and shoreline contains one of the largest concentrations of petroleum and chemical industries in the world, with the greatest concentration ...
This Is “Ladies’ Night”: A Case Study of a Grassroots Golf Program for Black Females
(2014-07-24)
While there is a growing body of literature concerning the experiences of racial minorities in the mainstream sports of basketball and football, less is known of the experiences of Black females in non-traditional sports ...
Characterization of G×E Interactions on Yield and Quality of Muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.)
(2014-07-13)
Muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) genotypes belonging to reticulatus and inodorus groups were evaluated under natural and modified field-environments. In the genotype × environment interactions studies, yield and fruit quality ...
A New Method to Assess Best Management Practice Efficiency to Optimize Storm Water Management
(2014-12-16)
For TSS, TN, and TP, this study examined the relationship between BMP pollutant removal efficiency and environmental factors such as ratio of BMP/catchment area, dominant land use, ratio of the dominant land use/catchment ...
Comparative Analysis of The Self- and Co-assembly of Type-I and Type-III Collagen
(2015-12-09)
Collagen represents the most abundant protein family in the human body which forms 30% of the total protein. Among different types, type-I and type-III are the two most abundant, respectively, in the heterotypic fibril ...
