Degradation studies on different pigments and binders: new approaches to diagnostics in cultural heritage
Studying the state of degradation, alteration and conservation of an artwork is the starting point of a restoration process. This first step is commonly known in the field of cultural heritage as "diagnostics". A careful diagnosis allows choosing the best restoration approach for a sample under …

Advancements in Degradation Modeling, Uncertainty Quantification and Spatial Variable Selection
… out of m future observations; 2) semi-parametric degradation model for accelerated destructive degradation test (ADDT) data; and 3) spatial variable selection and application to Lyme disease data in Virginia. Followed by the general introduction in Chapter 1, the rest of the dissertation consists …

Statistical Predictions Based on Accelerated Degradation Data and Spatial Count Data
… Chapters 2 and 3 investigate the photodegradation of an organic coating, which is mainly caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation but also affected by environmental factors, including temperature and humidity. In Chapter 2, we identify a physically motivated nonlinear mixed-effects model, …

Methodology for Using a Non-Linear Parameter Estimation Technique for Reactive Multi-Component Solute Transport Modeling in Ground-Water Systems
… compounds can be degraded by four different biodegradation mechanisms, and the degradation path is a function of the prevailing oxidation reduction conditions. Tests were performed in three levels; the first level utilized synthetic model-generated data. The idea was to develop a methodology and …
