Linking occurrence and fitness to persistence: habitat-based approach for endangered greater sage-grouse
Download2007
Detailed empirical models predicting both species occurrence and fitness across a landscape are necessary to understand processes related to population persistence. Failure to consider both occurrence and fitness may result in incorrect assessments of habitat importance leading to inappropriate...

This thesis focuses on formulating and analyzing non linear models for microbial dynamics vis-a-vis human and environmental health. Firstly, we develop and investigate a stoichiometric organic matter decomposition model in a chemostat culture that incorporates the dynamics of grazers. This...

A major barrier to reclamation after oil sands mining is lack of commercially available, diverse native plant seeds and propagules for revegetation. Potential of LFH (forest floor material) developed on coarse textured soil for establishing native plants and how salvage, placement and storage...

De-Camino-Beck, T., Lewis, M.A.
Understanding the relationship between life-history patterns and population growth is central to demographic studies. Here we derive a new method for calculating the timing of reproductive output, from which the generation time and its variance can also be calculated. The method is based on the...

Ovarian and endocrine responses associated with the treatment of cystic ovarian follicles in dairy cows with gonadotropin releasing hormone and prostaglandin F2alpha, with or without exogenous progesterone
Download2004
Schmitt, Eric J. -P., Mattos, Ricardo C., Ambrose, Divakar J., Thatcher, William W., Lopes, Flavia L.
The objectives of this observational study were to document ovarian and endocrine responses associated with the treatment of cystic ovarian follicles (COFs) in dairy cows, using gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) and prostaglandin F2α(PGF) with or without exogenous progesterone. A secondary...

The main goal of this thesis is to explore various applications of persistent homology in statistical analysis of point-cloud data. In the introduction, after a brief historical overview, we provide some of the underlying concepts of persistence. Starting from Chapter 2 the focus is on analysis...

High pressure processing (HPP) is a non-thermal processing technology aimed to inactivate bacteria and improve the shelf life of food. Commercial parameters for ready-to-eat (RTE) meat products are 600 MPa for 3-7 min at cold or room temperatures. Many regulatory agencies require a 5-log...
