Nesting Biology of Osmia cornifrons: Implications for Population Management
… of early season fruit crops such as apple and blueberry. Since its adoption as a managed pollinator in Japan during the 1940s, a large body of literature has amassed with the goal of enhancing O. cornifrons management practices. This research makes important contributions to that literature …

Sonoelastography of the Supraspinatus Tendon: Correlation Analysis with T2* Mapping of the Supraspinatus Tendon on 3 Tesla MRI
… of the supraspinatus tendon. Materials and Methods: A total of 25 consecutive patients (age range, 26-68 years) with shoulder pain were examined with sonoelastography of the supraspinatus tendon and 3T shoulder MRI with a T2* mapping sequence. The elasticity was estimated by the strain …

Using Anaerobic Co-Digestion With Addition of Municipal Organic Wastes and Pre-Treatment to Enhance Biogas Production From Wastewater Treatment Plant Sludge
In this project, by adding selected co-substrates and by incorporating optimum pre-treatment strategies, four experimental phases were conducted to assess the enhancement of biogas production from anaerobic co-digestion using wastewater treatment plant sludge as the primary substrate. In the first …

A Sequential Modeling Approach to Explain Complex Processes and Systems
… from the engine health monitoring (EHM) data and appropriate maintenance records. The first step in the approach is to develop the proper thermodynamics model to explain and to predict the observed TGTs. The resulting residuals provide the fundamental information on degradation. The current …

Mathematical modelling and in-process monitoring techniques for cutting tools.
… describe the cutting tool-workpiece interaction and for accurate on-line monitoring of tool-state. These are essential requirements for the achievement of unmanned and computerized machining processes. Techniques are used to design the experiments which substantially reduce the number of tests …

Strategic behavior in risky competitive settings
… chapter of this dissertation, I propose a novel and tractable structural model for ascending auctions with both common and private value components in which heterogeneous bidders exhibit loss aversion. Importantly, I find that loss averse bidders bid noticeably lower than risk neutral ones. I …

Enhanced bioethanol fermentation from mixed xylose and glucose using free and immobilized cultures: mathematical model and experimental observation
… is produced from edible food crops such as corn and sugarcane that causes an increase in demand for vacant lands for food production and, subsequently, increase in the cost of food manufacturing. Therefore, alternative raw materials for bioethanol production are sought after, such as sugarcane …
