An Analysis of the Factors that Influence the Sargassum Migratory Loop
(2016-05-02)
Certain variables suspected to influence the behavior of the Sargassum Migratory Loop System (SMLS) were examined using Robert Webster’s Development and Implementation of Sargassum Early Advisory System (SEAS). This analysis ...
Deconvoluting an Americium-Beryllium Neutron Spectrum from a Proton Recoil Detector
(2016-10-06)
A proton recoil detector was acquired from LND, Inc. to be used in neutron counting experiments with an 241AmBe source. Neutrons elastically scatter off of and ionize hydrogen atoms creating protons that can be detected. ...
Three Essays on the Effects of Health and Education Policies on Teen Childbearing
(2016-05-02)
Despite a near-continuous decline over the past 20 years, the United States has maintained one of the highest teen birth rates in the developed world. Two main arguments support the notion that teenage pregnancy can be ...
Hepatic Cholesterol Metabolism Drives Enteric Immunity and Development of Necrotizing Enterocolitis
(2018-04-05)
Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) is a disease of the neonatal gastrointestinal tract
related to prematurity, low birth weight and formula feeding that has been linked to
imbalances in tolerizing versus inflammatory lymphocytes. ...
Principled Approaches to Last-Level Cache Management
(2017-07-20)
Memory is a critical component of all computing systems. It represents a fundamental
performance and energy bottleneck. Ideally, memory aspects such as energy cost, performance,
and the cost of implementing management ...
Adaptive Basis Sampling for Smoothing Splines
(2015-08-03)
Smoothing splines provide flexible nonparametric regression estimators. Penalized likelihood method is adopted when responses are from exponential families and multivariate models are constructed with certain analysis of ...
Designing a Modeling Framework for Estimating Soil Moisture in Heterogeneous Landscape
(2016-04-26)
Soil moisture is an important component in many hydrologic and land– atmosphere interactions. Proper characterization of soil moisture variability is vital for understanding hydrological, ecological and biogeochemical ...
Action Ball: An Analysis of Energy Expenditure and Subjective Experiences of Participants
(2019-07-22)
Energy expenditure and subjective experiences of college students participating in action ball were examined through two studies. In Study 1, six students participated in action ball while using a portable metabolic analyzer. ...
Investigation of the Effect of Hydrogel Pore Morphology on DNA Migration Mechanisms in Microchip Gel Electrophoresis
(2014-08-20)
Many efforts to develop advanced medical diagnostic capabilities rely on the ability to perform size-based separations of DNA and proteins. Miniaturized formats have potential to provide rapid integrated solutions, but ...
High-performance Organic Thin-film Transistor
(2014-03-19)
Organic compounds have been regarded as insulators for a long time. However, a semi-conductive organic material was discovered in the late 1940s. Since then, many organic semiconductors have been found and studied. However, ...
