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 ... -
A Detailed Study Of Star Formation At Its Cosmic Peak
(2019-08-30)The star-formation-rate density of the universe has decreased by a factor of ~ 10 over the last 10 billion years, indicating a major change in either the efficiency with with galaxies form their stars or the availability ... -
A DYADIC VIEW OF FLEDGLING RELATIONSHIPS IN A NON-WESTERN CONTEXT: A TEST OF THE INTERPERSONAL MODEL OF INTIMACY
(2019-08-30)Self-disclosure and perceived partner responsiveness are two principal components of the intimacy that aims to explain relationship functioning. This theory has been tested in the past but all focused on long-term married ... -
A Fenton Reaction In The Recirculated Biosolids Line Of An Anaerobic Digestion System
(2015-05-24)Anaerobic digestion is a biological treatment method and a mature technology to recover energy in the form of methane (CH4) from, for example, waste sludge. Due to the positive connection between pre-treatment and improved ... -
A FIELD STUDY OF THE PHYSICAL MECHANISMS UNDER EXCHANGE AND UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW CONDITIONS INFLUENCING TRANSPORT OF SEDIMENT THROUGH CAYUGA INLET (ITHACA, NY, USA)
(2017-05-30)Cayuga Lake serves as a drinking water source as well as a popular recreational lake. It is the second largest of the Finger Lakes (New York, USA), with a long narrow shape. Concerns exist regarding the lake’s phosphorus ... -
A Framework for Domain-Driven Development of Personal Health Informatics Technologies
(2017-01-30)This dissertation advances a vision of Personal Health Informatics (PHI), a class of tools that can leverage personal data to support health self-management. Today, a powerful combination of factors is coming together that ... -
A Framework for Modeling Discrete Deformation Twinning in Hexagonal Crystals
(2018-08-30)Modeling the plastic deformation of metals has historically been achieved by considering only crystallographic slip, the dominant mode of plastic deformation. While sufficient for materials that deform primarily by means ... -
A FRAMEWORK OF STEROID METABOLISM AND NUCLEAR RECEPTOR INTERACTIONS IN NEMATODES
(2019-05-30)The primary mechanism for organisms to react to their rapidly changing environments is by alteration of gene expression profiles. An organism is capable of doing so, via small molecules that integrate extracellular cues ...
