PALISSAGE: AN ALTERNATIVE TO MECHANICAL HEDGING IN VITIS VINIFERA VINEYARDS

France, Justin Allen (2017-01-30)

Hedging grapevines is a common canopy management practice in Northeast vineyards. Hedging can manipulate vine vigor, yield, fruit composition, wine quality, winter hardiness, and canopy microclimate. Although mechanical ...

Pamp-Triggered Immunity Components And Lysm-Receptor-Like Kinases

Velasquez, Andre (2012-08-20)

In order to identify components of Pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)-triggered immunity (PTI) pathways in Nicotiana benthamiana, a largescale forward-genetics screen using virus-induced gene silencing and a ...

The Paradoxes Of Affirmation: Joy, The Dream Work, Culture Consumption And Politics In Latin American And Caribbean Literature

Arribas, Ricardo (2012-08-20)

Parallel Acquisition In Multiphoton Microscopy: Temporal Focusing And Frequency Multiplexing

Straub, Adam (2015-01-26)

Multiphoton microscopy is a powerful platform for both biological study and medical imaging. Techniques developed on this platform have achieved unparalleled resolution and chemical specificity, imaging at depths unreachable ...

Parallel Global Optimization Algorithms On Computationally Expensive Groundwater Problems

Pang, Min (2017-08-30)

This dissertation explores the development and implementation of Parallel Surrogate-based Optimization Algorithms which are designed specifically for problems with multiple local optima and require a large computation ...

A Parallel Implementation Of Hierarchical Belief Propagation

Tian, Yuan (2013-05-26)

Though Belief Propagation (BP) algorithms generate high quality results for a wide range of Markov Random Field (MRF) formulated energy minimization problems, they require large memory bandwidths and could not achieve ...

Parallel Machine Learning Algorithms In Bioinformatics And Global Optimization

Clark, Scott (2012-08-20)

This is a dissertation in three parts, in each we explore the development and analysis of a parallel statistical or machine learning algorithm and its implementation. First, we examine the Assembly Likelihood Evaluation ...

Parallel Mechanisms Of Steroid Signaling And Male Alternative Reproductive Tactics In The Midshipman Fish, Porichthys Notatus

Arterbery, Adam (2009-10-14)

The consequences of corticosteroid activity are as diverse as they are necessary. Steroid hormones and their receptors have co-evolved to influence a multitude of physiological and behavioral parameters via discrete ...

Parallel Real Asset Management With Environmental Regulation: Integer Programming And Approximate Dynamic Programming Approaches

Stasko, Timon (2011-08-31)

This dissertation presents a pair of models designed to assist in the management of multiple deteriorating real assets, given financial and environmental concerns. Whether the assets are buildings or vehicles or machines, ...

Parallel Testing, And Variable Selection - A Mixture-Model Approach With Applications In Biostatistics

Bar, Haim (2012-01-31)

We develop efficient and powerful statistical methods for high-dimensional data, where the sample size is much smaller than the number of features (the so-called 'large p, small n' problem). We deal with three important ...

Parametric Frequency Comb Generation In Visible And Mid-Infrared Wavelengths With Integrated Silicon Nitride Ring Resonators

Luke, Kevin (2016-02-01)

The field of silicon photonics allows manipulation of light at the chip-scale. Although the field has its roots in the telecommunications industry and its potential for low-power, high-bandwidth data transmission, the field ...
