Temporal Variation In Nutrient Uptake Capacity By Intact Roots Of Mature Loblolly Pine, Melissa S. Lucash, J. Devereux Joslin, Ruth D. Yanai Jan 2005

Temporal Variation In Nutrient Uptake Capacity By Intact Roots Of Mature Loblolly Pine, Melissa S. Lucash, J. Devereux Joslin, Ruth D. Yanai

Environmental Science and Management Faculty Publications and Presentations

Nutrient uptake is generally thought to exhibit a simple seasonal pattern, but few studies have measured temporal variation of nutrient uptake capacity in mature trees. We measured net uptake capacity of K, NH+ 4, NO 3 −, Mg and Ca across a range of solution concentrations by roots of mature loblolly pine at Calhoun Experimental Forest in October 2001, July 2001, and April 2002. Uptake capacity was generally lowest in July; rates in October were similar to those in April. Across a range of concentrations, antecedent nutrient solution concentrations affected the temporal patterns in uptake in July but not in …

Energy Aware Topology Control Protocols For Wireless Sensor Networks, Shilpa Dhar Jan 2005

Energy Aware Topology Control Protocols For Wireless Sensor Networks, Shilpa Dhar

LSU Master's Theses

Wireless Sensor Network has emerged as an important technology of the future due to its potential for application across a wide array of domains. The collaborative power of numerous autonomousremote sensing nodes self configured into a multi hop network permits in-depth accurate observation of any physical phenomenon. A stringent set of computational and resource constraints make the design and implementation of sensor networks an arduous task. The issue of optimizing the limited and often non-renewable energy of sensor nodes due to its direct impact on network lifetime dominates every aspect of wireless sensor networks. Existing techniques for optimizing energy consumption …

The Quest For Novel Computational Paradigms And Machines, Christof Teuscher Jan 2005

The Quest For Novel Computational Paradigms And Machines, Christof Teuscher

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

The quest for novel and unconventional computing machines is mainly motivated by the man-machine dichotomy and by the belief that meeting tomorrow's complex real world challenges will require new paradigms and new engineering methods to organize, train, and program such machines and to interact with them.

Depth-Shifting Of Shallow Water Guide Source Observations, Lisa M. Zurk, Brian H. Tracey Jan 2005

Depth-Shifting Of Shallow Water Guide Source Observations, Lisa M. Zurk, Brian H. Tracey

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

In theory, matched field processing offers the significant benefit of higher signal gains and increased localization capability. However, this has not been robustly observed in practice because of inherent uncertainties about details of the shallow water propagation environments which limit the prediction of the channel response. The use of guide sources to directly measure the transfer function between source and receiver arrays has been proposed as a means for reducing mismatch. However, the guide source measurement only provides a measured transfer function at the guide source location. In this paper a method of depth-shifting guide source observations is proposed, making …

Adhesion Of Copper To Poly(Tetrafluoroethylene) And Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene Copolymer Surfaces Modified With Vacuum Uv Radiation From Helium Arc Plasma, Zheng Sun Jan 2005

Adhesion Of Copper To Poly(Tetrafluoroethylene) And Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene Copolymer Surfaces Modified With Vacuum Uv Radiation From Helium Arc Plasma, Zheng Sun

Theses

Teflon materials including poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) and poly (tetrafluoroethylene-co-hexafluoropropylene) (FEP) were exposed to vacuum UV (VUV) radiation from a He DC arc plasma that was made to rotate inside of a graphite tube by the application of an auxiliary magnetic field. The polymer films were covered with optical filters having different cut-off wavelengths to vary the spectrum of the VUV radiation that modified the fluoropolymer surface. The properties of the surface changed after surface modification as follows: (1) water contact angles started to decrease in the wavelength region between 173 and 160 nm and continued to decrease with shorter wavelengths; (2) …

Utilizing Neural Networks To Proactively Monitor Energy Usage In City Of Rochester Buildings, Brian J. Gillis Jan 2005

Utilizing Neural Networks To Proactively Monitor Energy Usage In City Of Rochester Buildings, Brian J. Gillis

Theses

Energy usage within buildings in the United States is a very important topic because of the current price of natural gas, steam, and electricity and the ever-increasing depletion of fossil fuels. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully analyze building energy consumption. Currently, there are several methods used for analyzing a solitary building's energy usage. One method involves the use of a neural network (NN) model. The current use of NN for building energy prediction typically requires the collection of hourly energy usage data from a single building using data loggers during several different seasons and occupancy levels in order to …

Application Of Phenology To Assist In Hyperspectral Species Classification Of A Northern Hardwood Forest, Gretchen Sprehe Jan 2005

Application Of Phenology To Assist In Hyperspectral Species Classification Of A Northern Hardwood Forest, Gretchen Sprehe

Theses

Tree species have unique spectral reflectance patterns that allows them to be both compared to other objects and to other types of trees. Increasing the spectral separation of such images may assist with surveying and forestry inventories. In past studies, most classifications were done with summer leaves, which darken and become very similar shades of green. This study utilized the phenology of trees to investigate how the changing colors of young or senescing leaves may assist in species classification based on aerial images. Images were taken of the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is mainly dominated by sugar maple (Acer …

Al2o3 Hosted Attenuated Phase Shift Mask Materials For 157 Nm, Yang Liu Jan 2005

Al2o3 Hosted Attenuated Phase Shift Mask Materials For 157 Nm, Yang Liu

Theses

The Semiconductor Industry Association Roadmap 2003 has put 157 nm optical lithography as the next generation lithography wavelength for the node of 70 nm integrated circuits and below. The small departure from 193 nm puts more challenge on imaging tools and processes. One of the crucial areas is the exploration of thin film optical materials for mask coatings at vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) wavelength. Attenuated Phase Shift Mask (APSM) is one of the optical enhancement technologies pushing critical dimension of lithography to diffraction limits. As no existing single material satisfies those demanding requirements of APSM, non-stoichiometric composite materials will be explored …
