Hydrologic Analysis of Rain Garden Performance
(2016)
Urban flooding became a significant issue for many cities worldwide due to rapid urbanization and increased impervious areas over the past two decades ([1]). Rain gardens are considered to be an economically-friendly ...
The Mathematics Emporium: Infusion of Instructional Technology into College Level Mathematics and Psychosocial Factors of Learning
(2016)
This manuscript-based (European style) dissertation consisted of three different, but conceptually related manuscripts. The series of manuscripts examined psychosocial factors of learning including attitude towards ...
Cohomology of Finite Modules over Short Gorenstein Rings
(2016)
We study two formal power series in the indeterminate t that generalize the
Poincar´e series of a module. In the context of a Gorenstein local ring whose maximal
ideal m satisfies m³ = 0, we prove that these two power ...
A Hybrid Modeling Approach to Assess the Efficacy of Control Measures on Paratuberculosis on U.S. Dairy Farms
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)
Paratuberculosis, also known as Johne's disease or JD, is a chronic contagious
infection, caused by Mycobaterium avium paratuberculosis (MAP). This fatal disease
is incurable and causes considerable economic losses to ...
Application of Ab Initio Calculations and Molecular Dynamics to Collagen and Brome Mosaic Virus
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)
Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations are no more accurate than the underlying
force field which represents the molecular interactions. In this thesis, we have
calculated ab initio atomic partial charges for proteins of ...
First and Second Order Efficiency of Sequential Designs in a Nonlinear Situation with Applications
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)
In many statistical problems, optimal designs may be infeasible with their dependence on the parameters, which are unknown a priori. In such circumstances, choosing the next design points adaptively by making good use of ...
The Structure of Production and Portfolio Decisions of Investment
(University of Missouri–Kansas City, 2016)
Orthodox portfolio theory is at the center of the way neoclassical economics understands private investment and economic policy. Nonetheless, this theory is highly vulnerable to multiple criticisms, and its empirical ...
