A Comprehensive Study of Cavities on the Sun: Structure, Formation, and Evolution

Karna, Nishu (2016)

Coronal cavities are large scale structures in the solar corona that are closely related to the long-term evolution of the magnetic field in the photosphere as well as associated with energetic solar activity such as ...
A Computational and Statistical Framework for Screening Novel Antimicrobial Peptides

Veltri, Daniel Paul (2015)

Bacterial resistance to antibiotics continues to be a serious concern worldwide. This has motivated a strong research focus on naturally-occurring antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) as templates for new drug development. To ...
A Geospatial Footprint Library for Validating Volunteered Geographic Information

Aburizaiza, Ahmad (2017)

This research presents an innovative process of text-based Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) validation by programmatically constructing geoparsed geospatial footprints. Place names are collected in a detailed, ...
A Hybrid Computing Infrastructure for Climate Simulation

Liu, Kai (2017)

The climatological community relies increasingly on computing intensive models and applications to study atmospheric chemistry, aerosols, carbon cycle and other tracer gases. These models and applications are becoming ...
A MULTI-SCALE COMPUTATIONAL APPROACH TO UNDERSTAND THE CALCIUM DYNAMICS AND ARRHYTHMOGENIC DISORDERS CAUSED BY MUTATIONS IN RYR2/CASQ2 EXPRESSING GENES

Roshan Paudel (2020)

Whole-cell computational models are very beneficial to understand and predict the underlying cellular and ionic mechanism in the heart. We developed a stochastic ventricular myocyte model of Guinea pig with 20000 stochastically ...
A Multidimensional Array Database Engine for Gridded Climate Data and a Precipitation Downscaling Study

Mengchao Xu (2020)

Global Climate Models (GCMs) are essential tools to simulate future climate indicators and are widely used in global climate change studies. The outputs of GCMs are one of the largest sources of multidimensional gridded ...
A New Analytical Fourier-Transformation Model for X-ray Time Lags in AGN

Baughman, David (2021)

The variability of the X-ray emission from black holes is often characterized in terms of the time lags observed between the soft and hard energy bands in the detector. The time lags are usually computed using the complex ...
A New Valuation on Lattice Polytopes

Alhajjar, Elie (2017)

The present thesis investigates a new family of valuations on convex polytopes.
A NURBS-Based Computational Tool for Hydrodynamic Optimization of Ship Hull Forms

WANG, LIJUE (2015)

NURBS stands for a "Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline" type of surface. Ship hull forms are represented by NURBS in most of the modern Computer Aided Ship Design (CASD) environments. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based ...
A Pipeline for Constructing Optimized N-Body Models of Interacting Galaxies

Harvey, Allen Scott (2015)

Galaxies form the building blocks of our understanding of a hierarchical evolution of
A Quantitative Systems Biology and Mechanistic Model of Synthetic Lethality – Defining Regulatory Pathways of Targeted Cellular Death in a Cancer Cell Line

Paul Aiyetan (2021)

With an overall lifetime risk of about 4.3% and 4.0%, in men and women respectively, colorectal cancer remains the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. In persons aged 55 and below, its rate ...
A REMOTE SENSING-DERIVED CORN YIELD ASSESSMENT MODEL

Shrestha, Ranjay M. (2017)

Agricultural studies and food security have become critical research topics due to continuous growth in human population and simultaneous shrinkage in agricultural land. In spite of modern technological advancements to ...
A Spectral Climatology for Atmospheric Compensation of Hyperspectral Imagery

Powell, John H. (2015)

Most Earth observation hyperspectral imagery (HSI) detection and identification algorithms depend critically upon a robust atmospheric compensation capability to correct for the effects of the atmosphere on the radiance ...
A Study of Resilience of the Urmia Lake Basin in Iran with Agent-Based Modeling (ABM)

Davari, Farzaneh (2021)

Social-ecological systems (SESs) consist of diverse ecological parts and units, individuals, groups, and organizations that constantly interact with each other, which in turn cause shocks and disturbances, and instigate ...
A Study of the Tidal and Thermal Evolution of Rocky & Icy Worlds Utilizing Advanced Rheological Models

Joseph Renaud (2019)

In this thesis, we explore the thermal and orbital evolution of rocky and icy worlds that are under the influence of strong tidal forcing. Tides are an important mechanism that extracts energy from the orbit and spin of a ...
A Systematic Framework for Improving Estimates of Anthropogenic Aerosol Cooling

Yan, Xiaoqin (2016)

One of the most significant uncertainties in climate change projections is the sensitivity of the climate system to increasing greenhouse gas concentrations. Attempts to estimate this sensitivity based on observations over ...
A Two-Fluid Model for Particle Acceleration and Dynamics in Black-Hole Accretion Flows

Lee, Jason P. (2015)

Hot, tenuous Advection-Dominated Accretion Flows (ADAFs) are ideal sites for the Fermi acceleration of relativistic particles at standing shock waves in the accretion disk. Previous work has demonstrated that the ...
Aberrant Signaling in Astrocytomas and Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM): Utilizing Inhibitors of Proliferation as Potential Therapies

Connell-Albert, Yvette (2013)

Glioblastomas (GBMs), the most aggressive malignant astrocytomas, are recurrent, infiltrative, and fatal. In GBMs, receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are often activated by mutations, leading to the dysregulation of cell ...
Abundance and Diversity of Culturable Bacteria from Healthy and Suspect White Plague Type II-infected Corals in the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary

Santora, Karen A. (2008-06-12)

The increasing number and geographic spread of coral diseases over the past three decades is threatening the diversity and viability of coral reef ecosystems. Little is known about the causes of disease outbreaks in ...
Accelerating the Adaptive Tempering Monte Carlo Method with CUDA Graphics Processing Units

Hall, Clifford T. (2013-08-15)

Molecular Dynamics (MD) has been and continues to be a popular method of molecular simulation because it is easily parallelizable. Parallel programming has become less burdensome for the science community, and competition ...
