Addressing Challenges For Mapping Irrigated Fields In Subhumid Temperate Regions By Integrating Remote Sensing And Hydroclimatic Data, Tianfang Xu, Jillian M. Deines, Anthony D. Kendall, Bruno Basso, David W. Hyndman Feb 2019

Addressing Challenges For Mapping Irrigated Fields In Subhumid Temperate Regions By Integrating Remote Sensing And Hydroclimatic Data, Tianfang Xu, Jillian M. Deines, Anthony D. Kendall, Bruno Basso, David W. Hyndman

Publications

High-resolution mapping of irrigated fields is needed to better estimate water and nutrient fluxes in the landscape, food production, and local to regional climate. However, this remains a challenge in humid to subhumid regions, where irrigation has been expanding into what was largely rainfed agriculture due to trends in climate, crop prices, technologies and practices. One such region is southwestern Michigan, USA, where groundwater is the main source of irrigation water for row crops (primarily corn and soybeans). Remote sensing of irrigated areas can be difficult in these regions as rainfed areas have similar characteristics. We present methods to address …

Birds and human interaction add harmful effects on conservation and behavior of bird. To develop a buffer between human activities and number of birds, a comprehensive study is necessary to assess the response of birds and their flight initiation distance. An experimental design was employed to record the bird’s response and their flight initiation distance, for 109 birds of Langh lake, Sindh. Fifty percent of passerine birds showed medium response towards disturbance and 39% of water birds showed high response toward disturbance. 13 species of family Scolopacidae were recorded during study and 84.62% species of this family showed high response …

The Indirect Effects Of Trading Restrictions: Evidence From A Quasi-Natural Experiment, Shujing Wang, Hongjun Yan, Ninghua Zhong, Yizhou Tang Feb 2019

The Indirect Effects Of Trading Restrictions: Evidence From A Quasi-Natural Experiment, Shujing Wang, Hongjun Yan, Ninghua Zhong, Yizhou Tang

College of Business Faculty and Staff Works

Stock market trading restrictions directly affect stock prices and liquidity via constraints on investors’ transactions. They also have indirect effects by altering the information environment. We isolate these indirect effects by analyzing the effect of stock market restrictions on the corporate bond market. Using the staggered relaxation of the restrictions on margin trading and short selling in the Chinese stock market as a quasi-natural experiment, we find that the relaxation of these restrictions on a firm’s stock reduces the credit spread of its corporate bond. This effect is more pronounced for firms with more opaque information or lower credit ratings.

Estimating Short-Term Synaptic Plasticity From Pre- And Postsynaptic Spiking, Abed Ghanbari Feb 2019

Estimating Short-Term Synaptic Plasticity From Pre- And Postsynaptic Spiking, Abed Ghanbari

Doctoral Dissertations

Fast information transmission in neural networks is heavily influenced by short-term synaptic plasticity (STP), and the type and timescale of STP varies by cell-type and brain region. Although STP has been widely characterized in vitrofrom recordings of postsynaptic potentials or currents, characterizing STP in in vivoin behaving animals is difficult due to the lack of large-scale intracellular recordings. Here, we use paired extracellular observations to estimate the short-term dynamics of synaptic transmission from spikes alone. We introduce an augmented generalized linear model (GLM) that includes a dynamic functional connection as well as several, non-synaptic factors that alter spike …
