Limitations of the Microtremor Method: A Case Study in the Los Angeles Basin, California
(2010-08-02)
Microtremor data from 16 broadband seismic stations across the Los Angeles basin are used to explore limitations of Nakamura's (1989) method for estimating resonant frequencies, amplification, and ground vulnerability to ...
Limited information strategies for topological games
(2015-04-08)
A topological game G(X) is a two-player game which characterizes
properties of a topological space X based upon the existence of winning
perfect-information
strategies for players in the game. If the property P is ...
Limits on populations of herbivorous insects
(2021-12-15)
Herbivorous insect populations are necessarily limited by biotic and abiotic factors. This dissertation seeks to uncover some of those limiting factors using using synthetic comparative statistical analyses including ...

Crape myrtle bark scale (CMBS, Acanthococcus lagerstroemiae) is an invasive pest of crape myrtles first introduced to the United States less than 20 years ago. CMBS reduce the aesthetic value of these ornamental trees which ...
Line-1 Retrotransposition and the Impact on Aging Rodent Skeletal Muscle Tissue
(2019-04-16)
Purpose: Long INterspersed Element 1 (LINE-1) is a class 1 transposable element known as a retrotransposon. LINE-1 is thought of as a genomic parasite due to its reverse transcription machinery, and ability to randomly ...
LINE-1 RNA Expression is Higher in Older Human Skeletal Muscle but Decreases With Endurance Exercise and Physical Activity
(2019-04-16)
INTRODUCTION: Long Interspersed Nuclear Element-1 (L1) has the autonomous ability to randomly move about the genome. As a result, L1 has been implicated with disease and aging. We sought to determine if skeletal muscle L1 ...
