Fall 2017
In the Internet of Things (IoT) era, security has increasingly become a challenge, so encryption has been widely used to protect data. Random number generators (RNGs), as an essential part of cryptographic systems, are implemented in connected devices for information security. However, inadequate...

In this thesis, I developed the ideas of applying the variational method in geometric mechanics to the porous media described as solid elastic materials with embedded ideal (incompressible) fluid, also known as Eulerian fluid. The work includes four chapters and a conclusion. In the Introduction,...

Variations in climatic conditions from the Cayman Islands through stable isotope and element analysis from corals and sediment cores; a 500,000 year record
DownloadFall 2020
The Caribbean region is particularly important to understanding global climate change and feedback systems because the tropics are the primary source of heat and water vapor for the atmosphere. The Caribbean region, however, is a relatively understudied area in terms of tracking climate change...

Variations in jack pine (Pinus banksiana) monoterpene composition and subsequent effects on pheromone production by mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae)
DownloadSpring 2015
The secondary compounds of pines (Pinus) can strongly affect the physiology, ecology and behaviour of bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) that feed on host sub-cortical tissues. Jack pine (Pinus banksiana) has a wide distribution range in North America and thus variations in its...

Variations in Size and Optical Properties of Dissolved Organic Matter During Mixing at Large River Confluences: Implications for Source Discrimination in the Boreal Zone
DownloadSpring 2021
The functionality of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in natural waters depends on its size and composition. Identifying the sources and associated properties of DOM is vital to understand its effects on downstream ecosystems. River mixing has great potential to alter DOM quality, but its role in...
