“It is well known that human beings are complex, multi-faceted, contradictory, and full of surprises, but it takes a time of war or great upheaval in order to see it,” (Némirovsky, 363). When Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf ...
APPLICATIONS OF MARKOV CHAIN MONTE CARLO AND POLYNOMIAL CHAOS EXPANSION BASED TECHNIQUES FOR STATE AND PARAMETER ESTIMATION
(2013-10-07)
In this research thesis, we implement Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques and polynomial-chaos expansion based techniques for states and parameters estimation in hidden Markov models (HMM). Our goal is to estimate the ...

(2013-12-16)
Sub-Riemannian geometry is an intensively developing field of Mathematics lying at the intersection of Differential Geometry, Control Theory with application to Robotics, Hamil- tonian dynamics and PDEs.
Our research is ...
Radiative Shock Solutions with Multigroup Discrete-Ordinates Transport.
(2013-12-06)
We obtain semi-analytic planar radiative shock solutions using a multigroup discrete-ordinates (Sn) radiation transport model. Comparisons are made to the grey nonequilibrium diffusion solutions of Lowrie and Edwards and ...

Behavioral Eating Patterns: Understanding the Relational Dynamics of Neuroticism and Impulsivity
(2013-12-18)
Disordered eating affects approximately 24 million people in the United States with 95% of the cases falling between the ages of 12 and 25 (The Renfrew Center Foundation for Eating Disorders, 2003; ANAD, 2013). Approximately ...
THE COMPACT OBJECT AND STARFIELD SIMULATOR (COSS)
(2013-02-15)
As objects continue to be placed into space, Earth orbiting debris are becoming a prominent issue. To counteract this, NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center’s (MSFC) Engineering Directorate has funded a project to create a ...
Mapping the Interaction Domain of NSP4 With the Caveolin Chaperon Complex Components
(2013-12-16)
Rotaviruses are a leading cause of gastroenteritis in children worldwide. Rotavirus non-structural protein 4 (NSP4), a protein coded for by the viral genome, is known to play a key role in viral production and has been ...
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARENTAL STRESS, AUTISM SEVERITY, AND COMMUNICATION ABILITY
(2013-12-16)
When compared with various types of developmental disabilities, both physical and intellectual, autism has consistently shown a great number of problem behaviors and lower scores of maternal well-being (Blacher and McIntyre, ...
