Three-Dimensional Wind Speed And Flux Measurements Over A Rain-Fed Soybean Field Using Orthogonal And Non-Orthogonal Sonic Anemometer Designs, Taylor Thomas Dec 2015

Three-Dimensional Wind Speed And Flux Measurements Over A Rain-Fed Soybean Field Using Orthogonal And Non-Orthogonal Sonic Anemometer Designs, Taylor Thomas

School of Natural Resources: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

The eddy covariance method for estimating fluxes of trace gases, energy and momentum in the constant flux layer above a plant canopy fundamentally relies on accurate measurements of the vertical wind speed. This wind speed is typically measured using a three-dimensional ultrasonic anemometer. Previous studies comparing anemometers with orthogonal transducer sets to those with non-orthogonal transducer sets suggest differences in measured 3D wind speed components, particularly for a vertical component. These differences, attributed to additional flow distortion caused by the non-orthogonal transducer arrangement and support structure, directly affect fluxes of trace gases, energy and momentum. A field experiment was conducted …

Buildings With Rigid Walls And Flexible Roof Diaphragms. I: Evaluation Of Current U.S. Seismic Provisions, Maria Koliou, Andre Filiatrault, Dominic J. Kelly, John W. Lawson

Architectural Engineering

Buildings having rigid walls and flexible roof diaphragms (RWFD) are a type of building construction widely used for light industry in the United States; they incorporate rigid in-plane concrete or masonry walls and flexible in-plane wood, steel, or hybrid roof diaphragms. In this first of two companion papers, the probability of collapse of this type of building designed to current code provisions in the United States, given an MCE earthquake event, is evaluated according to the FEMA P695 methodology for a large set of representative building archetypes. The results of the study indicate that current code provisions for this type …

Buildings With Rigid Walls And Flexible Roof Diaphragms. Ii: Evaluation Of A New Seismic Design Approach Based On Distributed Diaphragm Yielding, Maria Koliou, Andre Filiatrault, Dominic J. Kelly, John W. Lawson Dec 2015

Buildings With Rigid Walls And Flexible Roof Diaphragms. Ii: Evaluation Of A New Seismic Design Approach Based On Distributed Diaphragm Yielding, Maria Koliou, Andre Filiatrault, Dominic J. Kelly, John W. Lawson

Architectural Engineering

A seismic collapse evaluation study of buildings with rigid walls and flexible roof diaphragms (RWFD) presented in the companion paper indicates that this type of structure, as designed to current seismic design provisions in the United States, does not satisfy FEMA P695 performance criteria for Risk Category II Buildings. The seismic performance of RWFD buildings is often characterized by large deformations and yielding in the roof diaphragm rather than in the vertical elements of the seismic force–resisting system (SFRS). In this paper, a new seismic design approach is proposed to account for flexible roof diaphragm response. The proposed approach relies …

Hodgkin's Lymphoma Survivors' Intentions To Follow Survivorship Care Plans, Kortni Evans Dec 2015

Hodgkin's Lymphoma Survivors' Intentions To Follow Survivorship Care Plans, Kortni Evans

Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine the attitudes, perceived subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control that Hodgkin's Lymphoma (HL) survivors had towards survivorship care plans (SCPs) and how those factors impact their intentions to follow a care plan. Participants were HL survivors who had completed treatment. An online self-reporting questionnaire was used to assess demographics and questions related to HL survivor's attitudes, behavioral intention, perceived subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. Frequency analysis and correlations were used to describe the participants and their attitudes, perceived subjective norms, and behavioral control in relation to participants' intentions to follow a …

Comparison Of Shareholder Value Between Full-Service Airlines (Fsas) And Low-Cost Carriers (Lccs)., William Kee Dec 2015

Comparison Of Shareholder Value Between Full-Service Airlines (Fsas) And Low-Cost Carriers (Lccs)., William Kee

Honors Theses

Shareholders in the airline industry invest in a service industry that is met with high fixed costs, capital, and external factors such as customer satisfaction and fluctuations in crude oil prices. On one end of the airline spectrum in the United States lie the full-service airlines, such as Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, or United Airlines adopting a product differentiation approach to capture a competitive advantage by providing greater benefits, comfort, and experience to the customer. This approach attracts customers that value the experience more so than simply the price of the fare, but is often met with high operating …

Contemporary And Historic Effects Of Fishing On Largemouth Bass Populations, Using Unexploited Populations For Reference, Jan-Michael Hessenauer Dec 2015

Contemporary And Historic Effects Of Fishing On Largemouth Bass Populations, Using Unexploited Populations For Reference, Jan-Michael Hessenauer

Doctoral Dissertations

Recreational fisheries represent complex coupled human and natural systems subject to intricate feedback loops. These feedback loops can affect anglers, fish populations, and the ecosystem. I studied the effects of recreational angling on Largemouth Bass Micropterus salmoides populations, using unexploited populations for references. Exploited populations contained significantly more individuals with low metabolic rates than unexploited populations, consistent with predictions of fisheries induced evolution. Naïve individuals from unexploited and exploited populations had equal initial angling vulnerability in standardized trials. However, individuals from exploited populations learned lure avoidance faster than unexploited individuals. The cumulative number of catch events best predicted catch rates, …

Infant Exposure To Potentially Traumatic Events In The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Amy L. D'Agata Dec 2015

Infant Exposure To Potentially Traumatic Events In The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Amy L. D'Agata

Doctoral Dissertations

Infants who begin life in the medicalized environment of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) do so under adverse conditions. The NICU experience exposes infants to experiences that are different from well newborns. The impact these cumulative adverse conditions have on long-term neurodevelopment has yet to be fully elucidated, however the literature reveals a broad scope of later life challenges for former NICU infants. This dissertation focuses on several novel inquiries that may shed light on individual vulnerabilities. First, a framework of infant trauma is proposed to support improved understanding of the infant experience. Context is provided for the history …

Efficient Methods For Mining Association Rules From Uncertain Data, Manal Hamed Alharbi Dec 2015

Efficient Methods For Mining Association Rules From Uncertain Data, Manal Hamed Alharbi

Doctoral Dissertations

Association rules mining is a common data mining problem that explores the relationships among items based on their occurrences in transactions. Traditional approaches to mine frequent patterns may not be applicable for several real life applications. There are many domains such as social networks, sensor networks, protein-protein interaction analysis, and inaccurate surveys where the data are uncertain. As opposed to deterministic or certain data where the occurrences of items in transactions are definite, in an uncertain database, the occurrence of an item in a transaction is characterized as a discrete random variable and thus represented by a probability distribution. In …
