A unifying theory for 2D spatial redistribution kernels with applications to model-fitting in ecology
Download2020-01-01
Dean C. Koch, Mark A. Lewis, Subhash R. Lele
When building models to explain the dispersal patterns of organisms, ecologists often use an isotropic redistribution kernel to represent the distribution of movement distances based on phenomenological observations or biological considerations of the underlying physical movement mechanism....

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease which is mainly characterized by inflammation, demyelination, and axonal loss. Conventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has become the most established imaging tool in the diagnosis and follow-up of MS in clinical practice....

A general-purpose aerosol conditioning device called the Universal Aerosol Conditioner has been designed and tested. The device can condition the aerosol in multiple ways. It can dilute the aerosol with particle-free air, dilute only the gas-phase component of the aerosol without diluting the...

In view of the increasing environmental concerns about the current water-based bitumen extraction process, there have been numerous efforts to develop a non-aqueous extraction (NAE) method for the recovery of bitumen from oil sands. The research reported in this thesis was carried out to study...

Microscopy techniques have emerged as a powerful tool to study the morphology of fuel cell porous media. Mathematical parametrization of the microscopy images is important to characterize the porous media microstructure and compare the differences between various samples. A framework which can...

Oscillating Gradient Spin Echo (OGSE): A Study of Short Diffusion Time Effects in Human Brain at 3T
DownloadSpring 2020
Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) is a non-invasive MRI technique that is sensitive to the diffusion of water molecules within the body. Its ability to encode water displacements enables it to detect changes in neural microstructure, such as those due to normal healthy aging or...

Solidification during continuous casting of X70 microalloyed steel results in two types of elemental segregation; microsegregation (interdendritic) and macrosegregation (at the centerline). Both micro and macrosegregation lead to deterioration of steel properties and, hence, a lower degree of...

The Spread of the Mountain Pine Beetle: Challenges and Solutions in Large-scale Spatial Ecological Modeling
DownloadSpring 2020
The mountain pine beetle (MPB) is among the most destructive eruptive forest pests in North America. A recent increase in the frequency and severity of oubtreaks, combined with an eastward range expansion towards untouched boreal pine forests, has spurred a great interest by government, industry...
