Data Mining And Image Classification Using Genetic Programming, Mahsa Shokri Varniab Jul 2020

Data Mining And Image Classification Using Genetic Programming, Mahsa Shokri Varniab

Master of Science in Computer Science Theses

Genetic programming (GP), a capable machine learning and search method, motivated by Darwinian-evolution, is an evolutionary learning algorithm which automatically evolves computer programs in the form of trees to solve problems. This thesis studies the application of GP for data mining and image processing. Knowledge discovery and data mining have been widely used in business, healthcare, and scientific fields. In data mining, classification is supervised learning that identifies new patterns and maps the data to predefined targets. A GP based classifier is developed in order to perform these mappings. GP has been investigated in a series of studies to classify …

Solvation Structures And Dynamics Of Small Molecules: Experimental And Computational Studies Using Carbonyl Vibrational Modes As Probe, Xiaoliu Zhang Jul 2020

Solvation Structures And Dynamics Of Small Molecules: Experimental And Computational Studies Using Carbonyl Vibrational Modes As Probe, Xiaoliu Zhang

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Solutions are ubiquitous in both the global environment and the human body, and play a significant role in scientific research and industrial production. The structures and dynamics of solutions have been studied for centuries. However, conventional experimental methods, whose intrinsic measuring time is on the order of nanoseconds to microseconds, could not detect the fast dynamics taking place in the solution on the timescale of femto- and pico-second. In this dissertation, the ultrafast two-dimensional infrared (2DIR) spectroscopy was applied to characterize the structure and dynamics in three different types of solutions on the sub-picosecond timescale. Linear Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy …

Extensive Morphological Variability In Asexually Produced Planktic Foraminifera, Catherine V. Davis, Caitlin M. Livsey, Hannah M. Palmer, Pincelli M. Hull, Ellen Thomas, Tessa M. Hill, Claudia R. Benitez-Nelson

Faculty Publications

Marine protists are integral to the structure and function of pelagic ecosystems and marine carbon cycling, with rhizarian biomass alone accounting for more than half of all mesozooplankton in the oligotrophic oceans. Yet, understanding how their environment shapes diversity within species and across taxa is limited by a paucity of observations of heritability and life history. Here, we present observations of asexual reproduction, morphologic plasticity, and ontogeny in the planktic foraminifer in laboratory culture. Our results demonstrate that planktic foraminifera reproduce both sexually and asexually and demonstrate extensive phenotypic plasticity in response to nonheritable factors. These two processes fundamentally explain …

A Community Nitrogen Footprint Analysis Of Baltimore City, Maryland, Elizabeth S M Dukes, James N. Galloway, Lawrence E. Band, Lia R. Cattaneo, Peter M. Groffman, Allison M. Leach, Elizabeth A. Castner Jul 2020

A Community Nitrogen Footprint Analysis Of Baltimore City, Maryland, Elizabeth S M Dukes, James N. Galloway, Lawrence E. Band, Lia R. Cattaneo, Peter M. Groffman, Allison M. Leach, Elizabeth A. Castner

Advanced Science Research Center

The nitrogen footprint tool (NFT) provides a novel way for communities to understand the environmental impacts of their collective activities and consumption. Reactive nitrogen (Nr; all N species except N2) is created by the Haber–Bosch process for food production and as a by-product of fossil fuel combustion and two natural processes, biological nitrogen fixation and lightning. While it is a vital input for food production, too much Nr has a negative effect on the environment. Calculating the amount of Nr released to the environment as a result of an entity’s resource consumption is the first step in reducing …

Manipal Institute of Technology, Manipal Theses and Dissertations

The study area in the K-G basin is a cold seep ecosystem and contains shallow methane gas hydrates (2-3 mbsf), discovered for the first time in the Indian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) which is associated with methane gas flares in the water column. This methane rich gas is released into the surrounding environment which supports an extensive range of endemic organisms and plants, and it continues to be one of the most extravagant ecological system of the seabed. The methane released from the seep site reacts with the overlying seawater and over time they form carbonate rocks which is an …


Digital Mapping Of Togo’S Soil Fertility: Savannah Region, Aminou Saibou Jul 2020

Digital Mapping Of Togo’S Soil Fertility: Savannah Region, Aminou Saibou

International Programs

A soil assessment was carried out in the savannah region of Togo in 2018, aiming at drawing the digital map of Togo’s soil fertility and making fertilizer recommendations. Soil samples were taken from geo-referenced GPS points and were analyzed for parameters such as water pH, Organic matter, available phosphorus and exchangeable potassium. Thematic maps have been drawn using an ArcGIS package. The results showed that the soils of the Savannah region in Togo are mainly (84%) not very acidic (pH = 5.5 to 6.5), overall poor to very poor (84%) in organic matter (<2% OM), essentially poor to very poor (86%) in available phosphorus (<15 mg/kg of soil) and mostly very poor (87%) in exchangeable potassium (<90 mg / kg of soil). These results allowed the agricultural research institute of Togo to make fertilizer use recommendations and to develop, in partnership with Morocco, a digital platform (fertitogo.tg ) for decision making in crop fertilization.
