A global phenomenon, urbanization started after the Industrial Revolution. Since 1800, the world population has increased by 6 times. In that same time, urban population has increased by 60 times and the rate of urbanization ...
'On A Great Battlefield': The Making, Management, and Memory of Gettysburg National Military Park, 1933 – 2009
(2010-05-04)
Since July 1863 historians have written a great deal on the three-day Battle of Gettysburg, but have devoted little attention to the history of the battlefield itself. In the decades since the sound of artillery and muskets ...
On Advances in Deep Learning with Applications in Financial Market Modeling
(2020-08-17)
This dissertation focuses on advancing the machine learning, with a particular focus on the application for financial trading. It is organized into two parts. The first part of this dissertation (Chapters 1-2) will be ...
On Chain and Duo Rings
(2018-07-26)
The aim of this work is to study a variety of concepts in a non-commutative setting,
which originally arose in Commutative Ring Theory. The discussion focuses particularly on
properties like hopficity and co-hopficity, ...
On Closed-loop Supply Chain and Routing Problems for Hazardous Materials Transportation with Risk-averse Programming, Robust Optimization and Risk Parity
(2019-07-29)
The objective of this dissertation is to develop mathematical optimization models that assist and improve the decision making process in hazardous materials (hazmat) routing and supply chain network design. First, a ...
On Common Ground: The Relationship Between Negro Home Demonstration and 4-H Clubs and Rural Women’s Community Leadership, 1920-1980
(2020-11-20)
This dissertation examines how rural African-American women and girls in Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi developed leadership skills through their participation in United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Cooperative ...
On Continuously Urysohn Spaces
(2010-08-03)
We study the properties of weakly continuously Urysohn (denoted by wcU ) and continuously
Urysohn (denoted by cU ) spaces. The class of continuously Urysohn spaces is known to contain the class of metrizable,submetrizable, ...
On demand feeding and the response of Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) to varying dietary protein levels in semi-intensive pond production.
(2022-11-29)
Feed is one of the primary costs associated with commercial production of Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaus vannamei). The cost is the combined outcome of feed cost and feed management. As feeding technology evolves, ...
On Frobenius numbers in three variables
(2006-08-15)
Given a set of relatively prime positive integers
$\{a_1,a_2,\ldots, a_n\}$, after some point all positive integers are representable as a linear combination of the set with nonnegative coefficients. Which integer is the ...
On Functional Sure Independence Screening (fSIS) and Dynamic Spectral Featuring Extraction for Neuroscience Data
(2021-12-07)
This dissertation is composed of two parts. The first part introduces a methodology for high-dimensional functional variable screening and selection--the functional sure independent screening (fSIS). The fSIS method is an ...
On Galvin's Theorem and Stable Matchings
(2016-08-05)
In this thesis, we will discuss list edge coloring and its relation to stable matchings. In particular, we will present three proofs of Galvin's famous theorem that bipartite graphs satisfy the list edge coloring conjecture. ...
On Inverse Limits of Metric Spaces
(2017-07-22)
Inverse limit spaces have been a topic studied in various fields of mathematics such as Algebra, Measure Theory, and Topology. Here, we present a theorem that can be summarized as a game in which a given compact metric ...
On Island Time: A place-based identity in Dauphin Island, Alabama
(2012-08-16)
Dauphin Island, Alabama is a small barrier island to the south of Mobile and Mobile Bay. All along the Gulf Coast are popular tourist attractions at places like Gulf Shores and New Orleans. My thesis research will look at ...
On joint reconstruction of spin density, R2* decay and off-resonance frequency maps through a single-shot or multi-shot acquisition in magnetic resonance imaging
(2015-07-28)
Joint reconstruction of $R_2^*$ and off-resonance frequency maps is very important in many MR applications. For example, $R_2^*$ quantification can be applied to BOLD functional MRI, iron deposition measurement, and early ...
On Multiantenna Spectrum Sensing and Energy-Aware Resource Allocation in Cognitive Radio Networks
(2013-05-06)
This dissertation covers two main parts: 1) low complexity cyclostationarity based spectrum sensing in cognitive radio, and 2) energy efficient resource allocation in cognitive radio networks. Cognitive radio allows ...
On O-Basis Groups and Generalizations
(2007-08-15)
A class of finite groups which we call o-basis groups is generalized and explored. One
reason for interest in these groups lies with the concept's origins. The notion of o-basis
group arose from the study of the existence, ...
On optimal pooling of renewable energy sources through risk-averse portfolio optimization methods
(2022-02-17)
This dissertation investigates approaches to achieve optimal pooling of renewable energy sources through risk-averse portfolio optimization methods. The first chapter aims at evaluating the potential for an approach targeted ...
On Planar Embeddings of the Knaster V Lambda-Continuum
(2020-07-21)
A\v nusi\'c, Bruin, and \v Cin\v c have asked in \cite{Anusic2} which hereditarily decomposable chainable continua (HDCC) have uncountably many mutually inequivalent planar embeddings. It was noted, as per the embedding ...
On Secure Media Streaming with Path Diversity in MANETs
