A Computational Kinematics And Evolutionary Approach To Model Molecular Flexibility For Bionanotechnology, Athina N. Brintaki

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Modeling molecular structures is critical for understanding the principles that govern the behavior of molecules and for facilitating the exploration of potential pharmaceutical drugs and nanoscale designs. Biological molecules are flexible bodies that can adopt many different shapes (or conformations) until they reach a stable molecular state that is usually described by the minimum internal energy. A major challenge in modeling flexible molecules is the exponential explosion in computational complexity as the molecular size increases and many degrees of freedom are considered to represent the molecules' flexibility. This research work proposes a novel generic computational geometric approach called enhanced BioGeoFilter …

Investigate Correlations Of Microstructures, Mechanical Properties And Fsw Process Variables In Friction Stir Welded High Strength Low Alloy 65 Steel, Lingyun Wei

Theses and Dissertations

The present study focuses on developing a relationship between process variables, mechanical properties and post weld microstructure in Friction Stir Welded HSLA 65 steel. Fully consolidated welds can be produced in HSLA 65 steel by PCBN Convex-Scrolled-Shoulder-Step-Spiral (CS4) tool over a wide range of parameters. Microstructures in the nugget center (NC) are dominated by lath bainite and a few polygonal/allotriomorphic grain boundary ferrites. FSW dependent variables are related to FSW independent variables by non-linear relationship. Heat input is identified to be the best parameter index to correlate with microstructures. With increasing heat input, the volume of bainite is reduced, the …

Analyzing Capacitor-Based Reconfigurable Antennas Using Graph Models, Chaouki Abdallah, J. Costantine, Christos G. Christodoulou, S.E. Barbin

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

This paper discusses reconfigurable antennas using variable capacitors or varactors to achieve reconfiguration. We propose graph models as tools to understand reconfigurable antenna topologies and their configurations. Guidelines are set to model this type of reconfigurable antennas using graphs and examples are studied to investigate their optimal performance.

A Clustering Based Discretization For Supervised Learning, Ankit Gupta, Kishan Mehrotra, Chilukuri K. Mohan

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - All Scholarship

We address the problem of discretization of continuous variables for machine learning classification algorithms. Existing procedures do not use interdependence between the variables towards this goal. Our proposed method uses clustering to exploit such interdependence. Numerical results show that this improves the classification performance in almost all cases. Even if an existing algorithm can successfully operate with continuous variables, better performance is obtained if variables are first discretized. An additional advantage of discretization is that it reduces the overall time-complexity.

Maria Anna Acciaioli Tamagnini: O Quadro Da Mulher Feliz, Ellen Thompson

Theses and Dissertations

Maria Anna Acciaioli Tamagnini was a woman of special circumstances. She enjoyed many opportunities in regards to travel, education, as well as liberty of thought. These factors, in conjunction with her youth and ability to write, placed her in a unique situation in which it was possible to publish a book accessible to a large audience. With these opportunities, she searched for happiness, not only for herself, but for women everywhere. The picture of the Chinese woman that she paints with her poetry in the book Lin-Tchi-Fá: Flor da lotus opens a discourse about the situation of women in Macau, …

Microbial Population Analysis In Leachate From Simulated Solid Waste Bioreactors And Evaluation Of Genetic Relationships And Prevalence Of Vancomycin Resistance Among Environmental Enterococci, Bina S. Nayak

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Degradation of the several million tons of solid waste produced in the U.S. annually is microbially mediated, yet little is known about the structure of prokaryotic communities actively involved in the waste degradation process. In the first study, leachates generated during degradation of municipal solid waste (MSW) in the presence (co-disposal) or absence of biosolids were analyzed using laboratory-scale bioreactors over an eight-month period. Archaeal and bacterial community structures were investigated by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) targeting 16S rRNA genes. Regardless of waste composition, microbial communities in bioreactor leachates exhibited high diversity and temporal trends. Methanogen sequences from a …

Effects Of Geomorphic Setting On Shallow-Groundwater Exchange And Water Temperature Of Salmon-Bearing Headwater Streams Of The Lower Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, Jason C. Bellino

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Temperature is an important physical characteristic of headwater streams that controls the presence and health of juvenile salmonids. Surface water temperature is controlled by many factors including exchanges with groundwater. A study of the hydrology of wetlands associated with headwater streams on the Lower Kenai Peninsula was conducted to determine the effect of geomorphic setting on groundwater discharge to streams and ultimately on in-stream water temperature. Attention was focused on drainage-way and discharge slope wetlands as two end-members of the geomorphic settings of the study area.

Data were collected at 18 study reaches spanning four major watersheds in the study …

The Citric Acid Cycle Of Thiomicrospira Crunogena: An Oddity Amongst The Proteobacteria, Ishtiaque Quasem

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Thiomicrospira crunogena,

a deep-sea hydrothermal vent chemolithoautotroph,

uses the Calvin-Bensen-Bassham cycle to fix carbon. To meet its biosynthetic needs for

oxaloacetate, oxoglutarate, and succinyl-coA, one would expect that this obligately

autotrophic

Gammaproteobacterium would use a ‘wishbone’ version of the citric acid

cycle (CAC) to synthesize the intermediates necessary for biosynthesis, instead of the

fully oxidative version to minimize carbon loss as carbon dioxide. However, upon

examination of its complete genome sequence, it became apparent that this organism did

not fulfill this expectation.

Instead of a wishbone pathway,

T. crunogena appears to run a fully oxidative

CAC. The cycle is ‘locked’ …

The "Principal" Reason Why The Pcaob Is Unconstitutional, Gary S. Lawson

Faculty Scholarship

The Constitution creates very few federal offices. It creates the House and Senate, the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate, the President, the Vice President, and the Supreme Court--and that is it. The Constitution clearly contemplates that there will be other federal “Officers,” who the President must commission and who Congress may impeach and remove, but the document does not itself create those positions. Instead, it provides general authorization to Congress (in conjunction with the President's presentment power and the Vice President's modest voting authority) to “make all Laws which shall be necessary and …

Classifying Sentence-Based Summaries Of Web Documents, Yiu-Kai D. Ng, Maria Soledad Pera

Faculty Publications

Text classification categorizes Web documents in large collections into predefined classes based on their contents. Unfortunately, the classification process can be time-consuming and users are still required to spend considerable amount of time scanning through the classified Web documents to identify the ones that satisfy their information needs. In solving this problem, we first introduce CorSum, an extractive single-document summarization approach, which is simple and effective in performing the summarization task, since it only relies on word similarity to generate high-quality summaries. Hereafter, we train a Naïve Bayes classifier on CorSum-generated summaries and verify the classification accuracy using the summaries …
