Spatial patterns and behaviour at Dunefield Midden
An analysis of the spatial patterning present in the arrangement of material and features at the site of Dunefield Midden, is presented in this thesis. All items from the site are analysed, except the remains of large fauna. The site of Dunefield Midden is situated about two kilometres north of …

Some problems on spatial patterns in nonequilibrium systems
"In this thesis, we study the evolution of spatial patterns in two nonequilibrium systems. In Chapter 1, we study the steady state of a 1-d cellular automata (CA) model of chemical turbulence. Empirically there are two interesting types of space-time patterns (depending on model parameters): aS …

Assessing Feeding Preferences and Spatial Patterns of Lagodon rhomboides Linnaeus
… impacted by pinfish abundance. Significant spatial patterns were found among pinfish, as well as urchins and invertebrates, suggesting that some areas might be experiencing stronger grazing pressures. Feeding trials support previous studies showing that pinfish consume little to no <em>T. …

Quantifying and Simulating Fine-Scale Spatial Patterns in Plant Populations
… acknowledged the importance of fine-scale spatial patterns in developing our understanding of community/population dynamics. These spatial patterns are largely determined by direct and indirect interactions between plants and their immediate neighbors. Such interactions thus play an …

Collective innovation spaces in Shanghai : spatial patterns and social life/
… spaces have started to exhibit a distinctive spatial pattern and made an impact on urban life. However, few systematic studies have been carried out to understand this spatial pattern and the mechanisms behind it. This thesis takes Shanghai as the study site. Using statistical model and …

Spatial and non-spatial patterns of genetic diversity in Neotropical bats
… the study into two classes of analyses: non-spatial and spatial. In my non-spatial analyses, I estimated nucleotide diversity per bat species or OTU, and compared it to 19 environmental factors, two vegetation indices, five ecological traits, and phylogenetic family membership. In the spatial …

Spatial Patterns of Raised Fields and Linguistic Diversity in Mojos, Beni, Bolivia
… modification. This thesis presents a GIS-based spatial analysis of raised fields, a type of agricultural earthwork found throughout the Llanos de Mojos (Mojos), located in the Beni Department of Bolivia. The distribution of fields, forest islands, and rivers was analyzed to distinguish the …

Adoption, Spatial Patterns, and Behavioral Mechanisms in California Turf Removal Rebate Programs
… a multilevel survival model framework to explore spatial patterns, drivers of participation, and the presence of peer effects. Results show that home ownership, length of time in home, and peer effects all influence the time to participation in the program. The second paper uses a survey tool and …

Spatial patterns of social differentiation among the Coloureds in Greater Cape Town
… if once social areas are recoqnised, whether the patterns of differing social status can be related to that of adjacent areas. If socio-economic status is assumed to be reflected in housing type and quality, then physical environment and interaction between adjacent areas is likely to play an …

Modeling spatial patterns of mixed-species Appalachian forests with Gibbs point processes
… for the statistical analysis and modeling of the spatial point pattern formed from forest tree stem locations. Stochastic Gibbs point processes were explored as models that could simulate short-range clustering arising from reproduction of trees by stump sprouting, and intermediate-range …

Data-Driven Insights into Spatial Patterns and Disease Etiologies of White Matter Hyperintensities
… Matrix Factorization (opNMF) to identify spatial patterns of white matter hyperintensities (WMH) within UK Biobank's imaging data. Our selection criteria excluded subjects with a history of neurological, mental, and specific cerebrovascular conditions, allowing us to focus on WMH patterns …

The Influence of Fluvial Geomorphic Processes on Spatial Patterns of Forest Primary Succession
I investigated spatial patterns of tree species in primary successional forests along depositional point bars at river bends of the Bogue Chitto River, Louisiana, USA and on nine additional rivers in the southeastern US. I hypothesized that geomorphic processes associated with river planform cause …

Spatial patterns of wheat grain composition in relation to nutritional quality and processing properties
… with both quantitative and qualitative patterns of tissue distribution observed for all its main storage components. This project has focused on a detailed study of the spatial distributions of proteins and starch within the wheat endosperm, how they are influenced by genetic and …
