Improving Mpi Threading Support For Current Hardware Architectures, Thananon Patinyasakdikul Dec 2019

Improving Mpi Threading Support For Current Hardware Architectures, Thananon Patinyasakdikul

Doctoral Dissertations

Threading support for Message Passing Interface (MPI) has been defined in the MPI standard for more than twenty years. While many standard-compliance MPI implementations fully support multithreading, the threading support in MPI still cannot provide the optimal performance on the same level as the non-threading environment. The performance disparity leads to low adoption rate from applications, and eventually, lesser interest in optimizing MPI threading support. However, with the current advancement in computation hardware, the number of CPU core per packet is growing drastically. Using shared-memory MPI communication has become more costly. MPI threading without local communication is one of the …


Microbial Degradation And Ecological Impacts Of Biodegradable Plastic Mulch Films In Agricultural Soils, Sreejata Bandopadhyay Dec 2019

Microbial Degradation And Ecological Impacts Of Biodegradable Plastic Mulch Films In Agricultural Soils, Sreejata Bandopadhyay

Doctoral Dissertations

Agricultural plastic film mulching causes improved crop yields by reducing weeds, moderating soil temperature and conserving soil moisture. However, increased popularity of polyethylene (PE) mulch films have caused widespread pollution because they are non-biodegradable and have limited recycling options. Biodegradable plastic mulch films (BDMs) are emerging as a sustainable alternative to PE films. BDMs are meant to be tilled into the soil where they are expected to biodegrade. However, limited research regarding the impacts of repeated incorporation of BDMs on soil microbial communities, and inadequate information on BDM-degrading microbes and factors that control biodegradation of BDMs has restricted their adoption. …

The Evolution Of The Primate Shoulder: Assessing Constraint And Evolvability, Elizabeth Rose Agosto Dec 2019

The Evolution Of The Primate Shoulder: Assessing Constraint And Evolvability, Elizabeth Rose Agosto

Doctoral Dissertations

Observable differences among primate taxa closely align with different demands imposed by the wide range of environments they inhabit. This is reflected in the morphology of the primate shoulder girdle, which is the most variable among placental mammals. Previous research has demonstrated the morphology of the shoulder girdle reflects functional demands of the upper limb. Therefore, researchers hypothesize traits of the scapula are adaptations for specific functions related to locomotion, resource acquisition, or habitat; however, these hypotheses remain untested.In this dissertation, I use quantitative genetic approaches to assess the role of shared trait covariances on primate shoulder girdle morphology and …

Identification Of The Molecular Features That Facilitate The Thermal Adaptation Of Aminoglycoside O-Nucleotidlytransferase 4' And A Novel Kinetic Mechanism For Nucleotidyl Transfer, Seda Kocaman

Doctoral Dissertations

The aminoglycoside nucleotidyltransferase 4' (ANT) is a homodimeric enzyme that detoxifies many aminoglycoside antibiotics by nucleotidylating them at the C4'-OH site. Two variants with increased thermostability (T130K, D80Y), which differed from the mesophilic wild type ANT (WT) only by a single residue, showed contrasting ligand binding thermodynamics properties. While T130K showed identical properties to WT, D80Y had stark differences. Our thermodynamics studies demonstrated that solvent reorganization becomes the major contributor to ligand binding as the temperature increases for WT and T130K, while changes in protein dynamics is the main contributor for D80Y. Our structural studies have shown that, in the …
