Aggregate calibration of microscopic traffic simulation models
… significant attention in recent years. But day-to-day variability in inputs such as travel demand has not been considered. In this thesis, a general formulation has been proposed for the problem in the presence of multiple days of data. The formulation considers the day-to-day variability in …

Test Re-Test Reliability of Brachial Artery Flow-Mediated Dilation in Healthy Adults
… of endothelial function; it has been shown to be a useful prognostic tool for cardiovascular disease risk. However, reproducibility of FMD in the literature varies greatly (Coefficient of Variations (CV) =2-84%). Purpose: Therefore the aim of this study was to examine the test-retest …

Growth rate simulations of instability mechanisms at low and mid-latitudes for explaining equatorial spread F
… studying the characteristics and behavior of Equatorial Spread F (ESF). The general seasonalities of ESF occurrence are well known, but much work remains to be done in learning its day--to--day variability. Understanding the complexities of the ionosphere is important for communication systems …

Improving outpatient non-oncology infusion through centralization and scheduling heuristics
… over the past two decades as they have led to dramatic improvements in patients' quality-of- life. At Massachusetts General Hospital, these drugs are administered in ten independent outpatient clinics. While some clinics only need to offer sporadic treatments and have low utilization of …

Assessing variability of postural control over time using nonlinear dynamics
The purpose of this study is to assess the variability of postural sway over time using nonlinear dynamics of ApEn and SampEn. A total of twenty-one participants (age: 78.6 ± 5.7) were recruited and completed thirty days of daily balance assessment, along with a baseline and follow-up assessment. …

A Daily Diary Analysis of Preschool Depressive Behaviors: Same Day and Prospective Associations Across 14 Days
… much less common. However, little is known about day-to-day variations in common depressive behaviors and factors impacting those variations in early childhood. The current study examined the day-to-day variability and co-occurrence of two common depressive behaviors in young children, sadness and …

Recruitment of the intertidal barnacle Semibalanus balanoides ; metamorphosis and survival from daily to seasonal timescales
… lifecycle. Recruitment dynamics relating to seasonal changes in the benthic habitat may be the best source of information for predicting recruit abundance and for marine resources management. The transition from the pelagic to the benthic phases is the last stage in the connectivity …

Airborne Dissemination of Antibiotic Resistance Genes Near Farms and Effectiveness of Ionization Against Airborne Bacteria in a Classroom
The Covid-19 pandemic heightened attention to airborne microorganisms and their widespread impacts. This dissertation examines two facets about airborne microorganisms: (1) dissemination of antimicrobial resistance in the environment and (2) ionization for disinfection of indoor air. Antimicrobial …

Sex-specific reproductive strategies in redfronted lemurs (Eulemur fulvus rufus, Primates, Lemuridae)
… several males, whereas males generally strive to monopolize a group of females. Due to male intrasexual competition, the sex ratio of groups of anthropoid primates is generally female-biased. Gregarious Malagasy lemurs deviate from theoretical expectations derived from sexual selection theory …

Long-term investigation of the lunar tide in the equatorial electrojet during stratospheric sudden warmings
… is strongly influenced by the Sun, is known to be also affected by meteorological processes. These processes, despite having their origin in the troposphere and stratosphere, interact with the upper atmosphere. Such an interaction between atmospheric layers is known as vertical coupling. …
