Geothermal Resource Assessment of Mississippi
… intervals, and creating a new geothermal gradient model allome to delineate patterns of temperature resources sufficient for future geothermal applications. This study also provides preliminary geophysical evidence of a high geothermal temperature gradient spatially associated with major …

Cellular-level mechanisms of polarity and their role in plant growth
… for plant and animal development. Several models have been proposed for how these cell polarity fields are established. However, it remains unclear how different models are related to each other and how coordinated cell polarity fields are generated. Here, I present a hypothesis that both …

Performance comparison of U.K. low-energy cooling systems by energy simulation
… installed in the actual building. Prior to modeling the full -scale building, several validation studies demonstrate the accuracy of EnergyPlus and the author's competency as an EnergyPlus user. Systems considered include displacement ventilation, traditional mixing variable air volume …

First-principle based pharmacokinetic modeling
… and physiological based pharmacokinetics (PBPK) models are two major PK prediction strategies. However, both IVIVE and PBPK models are considered as immature methodologies due to their poor predictability. The goal of the research is to investigate the discrepancies within IVIVE and PBPK …

MAPPING THE DISTRIBUTION AND ABUNDANCE OF WESTERN LARCH (LARIX OCCIDENTALIS NUTT.) WITH MULTI-TEMPORAL SATELLITE IMAGERY AND GRADIENT MODELING
… analysis of multi-temporal Landsat imagery and gradient modeling. Larch presence and abundance data from 300 field plots correlated with Normalized Difference Vegetation Index seasonal change (NDVIsc) explains 46% of the variability in larch basal area. Multivariate models built with NDVIsc and …

A Novel Correction for the Adjusted Box-Pierce Test — New Risk Factors for Emergency Department Return Visits within 72 hours for Children with Respiratory Conditions — General Pediatric Model for Understanding and Predicting Prolonged Length of Stay
… Box-Pierce goodness-of-fit tests for time series models which has been an important research topic over the last few decades. All previously proposed tests are focused on changes of the test statistics. Instead, I adopted a different approach that takes the best performing test and modifying the …

Structure and motion of charge density waves, and NMR study of NbSe3
… Numerical calculations of the electric field gradients are also presented. Combined with the NMR results, these indicate that the ""red"" site is essentially insulating, while the other two sites have important conduction electron contributions. Below 144 K, a COW phase transition, broadening …

Homogenization of Random Media: Random Walks, Diffusions and Stochastic Interface Models
… random environments and for stochastic interface models. The first chapter will survey recent research and introduce three models of interest: the random conductance model, the Ginzburg-Landau ∇φ model, and the symmetric diffusion process in a random medium. In the second chapter we present some …

Seismic constraints on shallow crustal processes at the East Pacific Rise
… are predicted quantitatively, based on velocity models constructed from on-bottom seismic refraction experiments and expanding spread profiles. We conclude that the accuracy of correlating the prominent shallow reflector observed in MCS and WAP data with the layer 2A/2B boundary is strongly …

Coupled Gradient Enhanced Damage - Viscoplasticity Model Using Phase Field Method
… it to the well-known Perzyna type viscoplastic model to account for inelastic behavior of ductile materials. To accomplish this task, the following steps have been performed. First, a new nonlocal, gradient based damage model is proposed for isotropic elastic damage using the phase field method …
