A Quadratic Cone Relaxation-Based Algorithm For Linear Programming
Sondjaja, Mutiara (2014-08-18)We present and analyze a linear programming (LP) algorithm based on replacing the non-negative orthant with larger quadratic cones. For each quadratic relaxation that has an optimal solution, there naturally arises a ... -
Quadratic vector fields on the complex plane: rigidity and analytic invariants
Ramirez Garcia Luna, Valente (2017-05-30)This work deals with generic quadratic vector fields on the complex plane and the holomorphic foliations that these vector fields define on the projective plane. We assume that the extended foliation has non-degenerate ... -
QUALITATIVE HPLC ANALYSIS OF PEPTIDE FUNCTIONALIZED FLUORESCENT SILICA-NANOPARTICLES FOR APPLICATIONS IN NANOMEDICINE
Alvarado, Shaun Javier (2017-01-30)Functionalized nanoparticles are widely used for various medical applications, defined as nanomedicine. Notwithstanding, surface functionalization remains poorly understood. Distributions of surface ligands per particle ... -
Qualitative Relational Mapping And Navigation For Long-Term Robotic Operation
McClelland, Mark (2014-05-25)The research presented in this work focuses on several aspects of the remote operation of ground vehicles, notably Navigation and Mapping for autonomous robots and the effects of time delay in tele-operated vehicles. ... -
Qualitativism: An Elucidation And Defense
Murphy, Daniel (2015-08-17)My dissertation is about qualitativism, the view that the facts constituting the world are, fundamentally, purely qualitative or general. Roughly, non-qualitative facts directly involve particular things (e.g. the fact ... -
Quality and Stability of Shelf-Stable Pulp-Rich Fruit Juice
Siricururatana, Passaporn (2008-07-24)Tart cherries, Concord grapes, and apples are known for their health benefits due to high phenolic content and antioxidant capacity. Apples are also a rich source of fiber, helping to reduce the risk of some types of cancer. ... -
Quality Assessment Of Northeast Peach And Apricot Varieties And Their Value-Added Products
Campbell, Oluranti (2013-01-28)From 2009 to 2011, ten peach and five apricot varieties cultivated and commercially available in the Northeast were assessed for quality indices and phytochemical content. The objective was to generate qualitative and ... -
Quality Of Niagara Grape Juice And New York Wines: Effect Of Additives, Thermal Processing, Cold Stabilization, And Filtration
Siricururatana, Passaporn (2011-08-31)We aimed to improve the quality of grape juices and wines by using natural antimicrobials and processing techniques to reduce sulfite usage and anthocyanin losses, and by utilizing crossflow filtration to increase ... -
Quantification And Characterization Of Measured Nitrous Oxide Emission From Perennial Grasses
Mason, Cedric (2016-08-22) -
Quantification And Formalization Of Security
Clarkson, Michael (2010-04-09)Computer security policies often are stated informally in terms of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information and resources; these policies can be qualitative or quantitative. To formally quantify confidentiality ... -
Quantification Of 3-Isobutyl-2-Hydroxyprazine, A Key Intermediate In Ibmp Metabolism
Harris, Sarah (2012-08-20)3-isobutyl-2-hydroxypyrazine (IBHP) is thought to be a key intermediate in both the biosynthesis and degradation of the herbaceous smelling 3-isobutyl-2-methoxypyrazine (IBMP), but quantitative methods for IBHP analysis ... -
Quantification Of Cerebral Blood Flow In Mouse Models Of Hematological Disease
Santisakultarm, Thom (2012-08-20)The investigation of cerebral microcirculation is challenging due to the complex three-dimensional structure of the brain and the requirement to maintain subject physiology to ensure an adequate blood supply. We developed ... -
Quantification Of Odorous Thiols In Wine: An Extractive Pentafluorobenzyl Alkylation Followed By Headspace Solid-Phase Microextraction Coupled To Gas Chromatography-Electron Impact-Mass Spectrometry
Musumeci, Lauren (2013-05-26)A robust quantification method for polyfunctional thiols in wine is highly desirable due to their aromatic importance to many varietal wines. However, analytical determination of these compounds at levels near or below ... -
Quantification Of Synergy In Mixtures Of Glycosyl Hydrolases On Cellulosic Biomass
Donnelly, Marie (2013-08-19)Cellulases are an important class of cell-wall degrading enzymes that are being deployed for biochemical conversion of cellulose to fermentable sugars. Individual cellulases hydrolyze cellulose relatively slowly; however, ... -
Quantifying And Characterizing Mass Loss From Icefields Using Remote Sensing
Melkonian, Andrew (2015-01-26)Glaciers outside the icesheets currently supply roughly the same amount of water to sea level rise (SLR) as Antarctica and Greenland and will likely constitute a significant fraction of SLR through 2100. SLR is one of the ... -
Quantifying And Reducing Uncertainty In Large Volume Remote Sensing Measurements Of Atmospheric Boundary Layer Flows
Wang, Hui (2016-05-29)Doppler wind lidars are capable of measuring multi-scale turbulent flows in the atmospheric boundary layer. With proper scanning geometries and wind retrieval algorithms, lidar measurements provide robust estimates of ... -
