Aerosol Mutagenicity In San Bernardino, California Via Bacterial Fluctuation Tests, Sean Murphy
Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations
San Bernardino, California’s poor air quality is a health risk to its population with some of the highest concentrations of ozone and aerosol in the United States. Aerosols are solid or liquid particles suspended in the air. Smaller aerosol particles are the most harmful as they are more likely to penetrate further into the respiratory system. These aerosols can cause respiratory issues and contain toxic compounds. One measure of aerosol toxicity is to study the mutagenicity of the aerosol. To study the mutagenicity of aerosol samples collected in San Bernardino in 2022, fluctuation tests (based on the Ames test for …
Genetic Programming To Optimize Performance Of Machine Learning Algorithms On Unbalanced Data Set, Asitha Thumpati
Genetic Programming To Optimize Performance Of Machine Learning Algorithms On Unbalanced Data Set, Asitha Thumpati
Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations
Data collected from the real world is often imbalanced, meaning that the distribution of data across known classes is biased or skewed. When using machine learning classification models on such imbalanced data, predictive performance tends to be lower because these models are designed with the assumption of balanced classes or a relatively equal number of instances for each class. To address this issue, we employ data preprocessing techniques such as SMOTE (Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique) for oversampling data and random undersampling for undersampling data on unbalanced datasets. Once the dataset is balanced, genetic programming is utilized for feature selection to …

Jackknife Empirical Likelihood Tests For Equality Of Generalized Lorenz Curves, Anton Butenko
Jackknife Empirical Likelihood Tests For Equality Of Generalized Lorenz Curves, Anton Butenko
Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations
A Lorenz curve is a graphical representation of the distribution of income or wealth within a population. The generalized Lorenz curve can be created by scaling the values on the vertical axis of a Lorenz curve by the average output of the distribution. In this thesis, we propose two nonparametric methods for testing the equality of two generalized Lorenz curves. Both methods are based on empirical likelihood and utilize a U -statistic. We derive the limiting distribution of the likelihood ratio, which is shown to follow a chi-squared distribution with one degree of freedom. We conduct simulations to compare the …

Late Holocene Slip History Of The Central Garlock Fault, Mojave Desert, California, James Eric Burns
Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations
This study investigates the late Holocene slip history of the central Garlock Fault, using measurements of left-lateral offsets of alluvial features from airborne and hand-held LiDAR imagery, drone photogrammetry, and field measurements. IRSL dating of the offset late Holocene alluvial deposits was compared to published paleoseismic records to estimate the number of earthquakes that contributed to the offsets. Focus was given to geomorphic features offset in the past 1-4 earthquakes. Results indicate the average slip per earthquake was about 5.75 m (range: 4.75 to 6.25 m) in the past four events in the El Paso Mountains (EPM) and was 4.3-7.3 …
