PALISSAGE: AN ALTERNATIVE TO MECHANICAL HEDGING IN VITIS VINIFERA VINEYARDS
(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
(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 ... -
Parallel Acquisition In Multiphoton Microscopy: Temporal Focusing And Frequency Multiplexing
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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 ... -
A Parametric Study Of Polarity, Contact And Current Risetime Effects On Wire Array Z-Pinches
(2010-04-09)Data presented are the culmination of experiments studying the combined effects of polarity, contact and current risetime on wire array z-pinches operated on the 1 MA, 100-200 ns Cornell University COBRA pulsed power ... -
Parent Scaffolding during Guided Play and Children's Spatial Ability
(2019-08-30)Parent scaffolding has been closely linked to children's learning. In the present study, we examined parents’ scaffolding behaviors during a dyadic spatial activity, and explored whether these behaviors related to child ... -
Parent-Child Relationships and Demographic Outcomes Across the Life Course
(2018-08-30)This dissertation examines how parent-child relationships in adolescence shape union formation, mental health, and fertility in emerging and young adulthood, using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent ... -
Parental Leave Policies And Their Consequences For Inequality
(2015-08-17)In order to increase parents' participation in parental leave, in 20006 Quebec reformed its paid leave program to to offer higher benefits and institute a 'daddy-only' quota that reserved 5 weeks for fathers. In this ... -
Part I
(2010-08-05)This thesis examines Roger Regate's first published work, Genoi Hoios Essi for solo piano, which has fallen under the epithet of "New Complexity," a polemical term that reflects a superficial appraisal by critics of the ... -
PART I: MECHNOBIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF THE EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX AND THE THERMODYNAMICS OF CANCER CELL INVASION & PART II: STAND-OFF PULSE POWER PLASMA FUSION
(2018-08-30)Cells of all tissue types create and respond to mechanical signals in and from their surrounding extracellular matrix, respectively. However, only recently have the dynamics of this interplay been brought to the forefront ... -
PARTIAL CHARACTERIZATION OF COYPU SCENT GLAND COMPOUNDS
(2005-08-01)Coypu are invasive rodents that are ravaging wetlands across their introduced range. Coypu have a sexually dimorphic (male larger) anal gland (AG) used in scent marking behavior. Using GC-MS, this study looked for a ... -
Participation and Social Learning in Church-Based Organizations: Implications for Poverty Eradication in Nigeria
(2006-06-20)The task of poverty eradication requires the joint action of various agencies (IFAD, 2001). In Nigeria, there is a lack of alternative institutions to counter the social processes entrenched in local settings that lead to ... -
