Flow Dynamics Of An Accumulation Basin: A Case Study Of Upper Kahiltna Glacier, Mount Mckinley, Alaska, Seth Campbell, Karl Kreutz, Erich Osterberg, Steven Arcone
Flow Dynamics Of An Accumulation Basin: A Case Study Of Upper Kahiltna Glacier, Mount Mckinley, Alaska, Seth Campbell, Karl Kreutz, Erich Osterberg, Steven Arcone
Dartmouth Scholarship
We interpreted flow dynamics of the Kahiltna Pass Basin accumulation zone on Mount McKinley, Alaska, USA, using 40, 100 and 900 MHz ground-penetrating radar profiles and GPS surface velocity measurements. We found dipping, englacial surface-conformable strata that experienced vertical thickening as the glacier flowed westward from a steep, higher-velocity (60 m a−1) region into flat terrain associated with a 90° bend in the glacier and lower velocities (15 m a−1) to the south. Stratigraphy near the western side of the basin was surface-conformable to ∼170 m depth and thinned as flow diverged southward, down-glacier. We found complex strata beneath the …

Modeling And Designing Fair Rate Control For Wireless Mesh Networks With Partial Interference, Lei Wang
Modeling And Designing Fair Rate Control For Wireless Mesh Networks With Partial Interference, Lei Wang
Theses and Dissertations
Internet rate control protocols, such as TCP, encounter severe performance problems in wireless mesh networks. Because wireless networks use shared communication channels, contention and interference can significantly degrade flow throughput and fairness. Existing research takes either an engineering-based or optimization-based approach to solve the performance problems. The engineering-based approach usually solves a specific observed problem, but does not necessarily optimize the overall performance. The optimization-based approach mathematically models the network to find the optimal resource allocation among competing flows. The model can lead to a distributed rate control algorithm with performance guarantees, but relatively little work has been done to …

A Model Checking Framework For Hierarchical Systems., Truong Khanh Nguyen, Jun Sun, Yang Liu, Jin Song Dong
A Model Checking Framework For Hierarchical Systems., Truong Khanh Nguyen, Jun Sun, Yang Liu, Jin Song Dong
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
BDD-based symbolic model checking is capable of verifying systems with a large number of states. In this work, we report an extensible framework to facilitate symbolic encoding and checking of hierarchical systems. Firstly, a novel library of symbolic encoding functions for compositional operators (e.g., parallel composition, sequential composition, choice operator, etc.) are developed so that users can apply symbolic model checking techniques to hierarchical systems with little knowledge of symbolic encoding techniques (like BDD or CUDD). Secondly, as the library is language-independent, we build an extensible framework with various symbolic model checking algorithms so that the library can be easily …
Evaluate Agreement Of Differential Expression For Translational Cross-Species Genomics, Cuilan Gao
Evaluate Agreement Of Differential Expression For Translational Cross-Species Genomics, Cuilan Gao
Probability & Statistics Seminar
An important problem in translational genomics is to evaluate the fidelity of an animal model of a human disease. We developed the agreement of differential expression (AGDEX) procedure to evaluate the agreement of the results of a differential expression experiment using mouse with those of a similar experiment using humans. AGDEX uses an agreement statistic to measure the similarity of expression differences for pre-defined sets of ortholog-matched genes. Significance is determined by permutation. In two pediatric cancer genomics studies, AGDEX was used to determine that a brain tumor in a mouse model showed a similar gene expression profile to that …

Determining The Feasibility Of Implementing A Beekeeping Cooperative In The Bloomington-Normal, Illinois Area, Courtney Luensman '12
Outstanding Senior Seminar Papers
The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of implementing a beekeeping cooperative in the Bloomington-Normal, Illinois area. Through the literature review, it is exhibited that honeybees play a very important role in the pollination of certain crops, but there has been a decline in honeybee population, which could result in possible crop reduction. My research was determining benefits and feasibility in the formation of a beekeeping cooperative. Through conducting interviews with beekeepers, farmers, cooperatives, and agricultural organizations, I have determined that there are significant benefits to be gained from the presence of a cooperative, although there are …

Equation Of State From The Potts-Percolation Model Of A Solid, Miron Kaufman
Equation Of State From The Potts-Percolation Model Of A Solid, Miron Kaufman
Physics Faculty Publications
We expand the Potts-percolation model of a solid to include stress and strain. Neighboring atoms are connected by bonds. We set the energy of a bond to be given by the Lennard-Jones potential. If the energy is larger than a threshold the bond is more likely to fail, whereas if the energy is lower than the threshold, the bond is more likely to be alive. In two dimensions we compute the equation of state: stress as a function of interatomic distance and temperature by using renormalization-group and Monte Carlo simulations. The phase diagram, the equation of state, and the isothermal …

Critical Torque For Kink Formation In Double-Stranded Dna, Hao Qu, Yong Wang, Chiao-Yu Tseng, Giovanni Zocchi
Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations
We measure the bending energy of double-stranded DNA in the nonlinear (sharply bent) regime. The measurements are obtained from the melting curves of stressed DNA ring molecules. The nonlinear elastic behavior is captured by a single parameter: the critical torque τc at which the molecule develops a kink. In this regime, the elastic energy is linear in the kink angle. This phenomenology is the same as for the previously reported case of nicked DNA. For the sequences examined, we find τc=31 pN×nm. This critical torque corresponds to a characteristic energy scale (π/2)τc=12 kT room relevant for molecular biology processes associated …

Measuring The Impact Of A Mentoring Program: Preparing African American Males For Success Beyond High School, Cornell Gray
Measuring The Impact Of A Mentoring Program: Preparing African American Males For Success Beyond High School, Cornell Gray
Theses and Dissertations
The academic struggles befalling countless African American male youth have been the source of consternation in many homes, schools, and communities across America. When compared to males from other ethnic groups, as well as females, Black males often lag behind in many academic categories from elementary school through college. As a result of their educational failures, parents, educators, and even government officials have been exploring ways to resolve this dilemma. While a number of solutions have been proposed and even implemented by a variety of stakeholders, too few seem to offer reasonable rates of success to address what appears to …

The home will be constructed and tested at the 2013 Solar Decathlon competition at a location to be determined by NREL. Imagine a home that captures energy instead of reflecting sunlight; one that filters rainwater and sequesters carbon in its vegetation and soils; one that actually gives back to the ecosystem in which it resides, and supports sustainability for …
Topological Properties Of Invariant Sets For Anosov Maps With Holes, Skyler C. Simmons
Topological Properties Of Invariant Sets For Anosov Maps With Holes, Skyler C. Simmons
Theses and Dissertations
We begin by studying various topological properties of invariant sets of hyperbolic toral automorphisms in the linear case. Results related to cardinality, local maximality, entropy, and dimension are presented. Where possible, we extend the results to the case of hyperbolic toral automorphisms in higher dimensions, and further to general Anosov maps.

We report on the analysis of the Kepler short-cadence (SC) light curve of V344 Lyr obtained during 2009 June 20 through 2010 March 19 (Q2-Q4). The system is an SU UMa star showing dwarf nova (DN) outbursts and superoutbursts, and promises to be a touchstone for CV studies for the foreseeable future. The system displays both positive and negative superhumps with periods of 2.20 and 2.06 hr, respectively, and we identify an orbital period of 2.11 hr. The positive superhumps have a maximum amplitude of ~0.25 mag, the negative superhumps have a maximum amplitude of ~0.8 mag, and the orbital …
