A (Co)algebraic Approach to Programming and Verifying Computer Networks
(2019-12)As computer networks have grown into some of the most complex and critical computing systems today, the means of configuring them have not kept up: they remain manual, low-level, and ad-hoc. This makes network operations ... -
A Behavioral Analysis Of Shopping Trip Chaining In United States
(2015-08-17)This thesis studies travelers' tendency to chain a shopping trip into daily travel tour. A comprehensive analysis of personal shopping trip-chaining probability and its relation to sociodemographic characteristics, household ... -
A BI-LEVEL APPROACH TO FUTURE POWER SYSTEM CO-OPTIMIZATION WITH HIGH PENETRATION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY AND RESPONSIVE DEMAND
(2019-08-30)Electricity generation accounts for nearly half of the total CO2 emissions in the United States. For this reason, the development and integration of renewable resources will play an essential role in achieving the societal ... -
A Bioeconomic Model for Evaluating the Role of Conservation Finance in Fisheries
(2018-08-30)Current contributions from public and philanthropic sources, while significant, are insufficient to finance global fisheries reform. Private capital markets are a largely untapped resource that many argue can help support ... -
A Bipartite Sorting Signal Ensures Specificity of Retromer Complex in Membrane Protein Recycling
(2019-08-30)In the endosomal network, membrane proteins are either sorted into intraluminal vesicles for the lysosomal degradative pathway or exported from the endosome to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) via retrograde transport. Retromer ... -
A CASE STUDY IN CONSERVATION PALEOBIOLOGY: THE MOLLUSCAN COMMUNITY OF THE COLORADO RIVER ESTUARY
(2018-05-30)The Colorado River no longer reaches the Gulf of California in most years due to numerous upstream dams and associated water diversions for consumptive use. The downstream estuary in Mexico has undergone habitat change as ... -
A Cell Decomposition Approach to Autonomous Path Planning for Directional Mobile Sensors
(2018-05-30)A methodology based on integer programming and cell decomposition is developed for planning the path of UGVs equipped with directional sensors used to classify multiple targets in an obstacle-populated environment. While ... -
A characterization of orofacial phenotypes resulting from tissue specific deletion of Pbx genes within the cranial neural crest cell population or the cephalic epithelium of the developing murine embryo
(2018-05-30)Affecting approximately 1-in-700 live births, “orofacial clefting” represents the most common class of craniofacial birth defect. Although not a major cause of mortality, these conditions pose significant problems for those ... -
A CHEMOPROTEOMIC TECHNIQUE FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF PROTEINS REGULATED BY COENZYME A
(2018-12-30)Coenzyme A (CoA) is found in all living organisms and is involved in numerous cellular biochemical reactions. CoA and its derivatives function as cofactors in many cellular pathways and are involved in protein regulation ... -
A Comparative Case Study Of Black Student Responses To Diversity-Related Media At One U.S. And One Canadian University
(2015-08-17)This doctoral dissertation is a qualitative comparative case study about Black student responses to diversity-related print and web material at one Canadian and one American university. The research methodologies used in ... -
A COMPARISON BETWEEN PERT DISTRIBUTION AND SEASONAL ARIMA MODEL TO FORECAST RAINFALL PATTERN
(2018-05-30)Weather is becoming more and more unpredictable for farmers, and the frequency of extreme weather events is also increasing. Small households in Kenya are vulnerable to these extreme weather shocks, and failures in effective ... -
¬¬A COMPETING EVENTS SURVIVAL ANALYSIS OF ATTRITION AND RETENTION AT FIVE SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING DOCTORAL PROGRAMS AT A RESEARCH UNIVERSITY
(2019-08-30)There is continued concern about enrolling adequate numbers of students in science and engineering doctoral programs in the U.S., which is underscored by studies that find graduation rates of only 40% to 60%. The situation ... -
A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF THE UNITED STATES' NATIONAL ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE MONITERING SYSTEM
(2017-05-30)Surveillance is a key component of controlling antimicrobial resistance. In the United States this function is carried out by the National Antimicrobial Monitoring System. This effort combines the United States Department ... -
A Comprehensive Assessment Of Animal Welfare In Regards To Cage Size For Trio-Bred C57Bl/6 Mice
(2015-08-17)The current edition of the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals makes recommendations on minimum floor space requirements for housing female mice with litters. As a result, these recommendations preclude trio ... -
A DELICATE BALANCE IN MISMATCH REPAIR FACTORS IS CRITICAL FOR MAINTAINING GENOME STABILITY
(2018-08-30)Mismatch repair (MMR) proteins act to correct DNA polymerase errors that arise during DNA replication. They also play vital roles maintaining homologous recombination fidelity during repair of double strand breaks in DNA, ... -
A Density of Ramified Primes
(2018-08-30)The gestalt of this thesis can be seen in Theorem 4.5.2 and Theorem 4.5.4 which give formulas for the density of rational primes that satisfy a certain spin relation. We use the spin of prime ideals, a special case of class ...
