Synthesis and degradation of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) under different nutrient combinations in the alphaproteobacterial methanotroph, Methylocystis sp. Rockwell
DownloadFall 2023
Methane emissions and plastic pollution are two distinct environmental issues that arise from human activities. The ongoing increases in methane emissions and its atmospheric concentration pose a major environmental threat as methane is a potent greenhouse gas, with a warming effect 28 times...

Fall 2023
A new microprocessor within a given processor architecture may introduce performance-improving features that either can only be accessed through novel instructions or require new code-generation techniques to be beneficial. In response, compilers must be extended/improved to make use of these new...

Fall 2023
Oftentimes, machine learning applications using neural networks involve solving discrete optimization problems, such as in pruning, parameter-isolation-based continual learning and training of binary networks. Still, these discrete problems are combinatorial in nature and are also not amenable to...
