Uranium plant identification using correlation methods
Theory relating to identification of an uranium plant using on-line correlation techniques is described. Generation and properties of pseudorandom ternary m-sequences are discussed, particular attention being given to selection of a suitable sequence for testing a system. The geometry and control …

The Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation of Stone Oaks (Lithocarpus)
This thesis investigates how plant traits, evolutionary history, and environmental conditions shape the ecology of Stone Oaks (Lithocarpus), a diverse but geographically restricted tropical clade. Chapter 1 introduces Lithocarpus as a model clade for investigating diverse ecological and …

Carbon Storage in Old-Growth Western Larch (Larix occidentalis) Forests of Western Montana
… Finally, the third chapter describes a web-based plant guide that simplifies the challenge of plant identification by eliminating the use of technical vocabulary, focusing instead on visually recognizable plant characters and providing students with a more user-friendly means of identifying …

Spirituality in the Laboratory: Negotiating the politics of knowledge in the psychedelic sciences
… across each step of a bioprospecting model from plant identification to the determination of mechanisms of action and finally to drug development studies. I argue that in each step indigenous spiritual knowledges were assimilated into dominant scientific assumptions and practices reifying western …

Nonlinear system identification and control using a neural network approach
In this thesis, the plant identification, state estimation based on the identified plant and also the design of a neuro-controller using multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs) for a complex system are presented. The quasi-linear system to be controlled is both unstable and nonlinear. The complete nonlinear …

Development of an optical sensor for real-time weed detection using laser based spectroscopy
… there are no weeds. Discrimination of different plant species can be performed based on the spectral reflectance of the leaves. This thesis describes the development of a sensor for automatic spot spraying of weeds within crop rows. The sensor records the relative intensity of reflected light in …
