Solids Retention Governs Nitrification of Poultry Processing Wastewater using an Algal-bacterial Consortium
(2021-12-06)
As water demand increases worldwide, the utilization of alternative water sources, such as wastewater, is becoming necessary. The poultry processing industry generates nutrient-rich wastewater that could be treated and ...
Solubilization of nonstructural carbohydrates as a function of soaking interval and water temperature in southern forages commonly fed to equids
(2017-04-28)
Nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) play a major role in the diet of equids prone to laminitis or afflicted with metabolic conditions such as insulin resistance. Although the threshold of <10% dietary NSC has been set as a ...
Solution Approaches to Large Scale Multistage Stochastic Programs with Endogenous and Exogenous Uncertainty
(2017-12-01)
The focus of this dissertation is the investigation of approaches to address the computational challenges of solving multistage stochastic programs (MSSPs) with both endogenous and exogenous uncertainty. My work to date ...
Solutions for Tractor-trailer Path Following at Low Speed
(2017-07-22)
Autonomous tractor-trailer systems have become more and more popular in real life. This dissertation focuses on control and estimation for the path following problem where space-based path is used as reference. The goal ...
Solvability and exact moment asymptotics for the interpolated stochastic heat and wave equation and the existence of an invariant measure for a special case.
(2022-08-05)
This thesis will consist of two main projects, Chapters 2 and 4, and a smaller project in Chapter 3. We will be studying a general space-time fractional stochastic partial differential equation in Chapters 2 and 3 and the ...
Solvated electron precursors: a computational approach to the development of novel catalysts from gas-phase to condensed-phase
(2023-04-27)
The solvated electron precursor (SEP) is a complex consisting of a positively charged metal core, Mn+, surrounded by sufficient ligands, L, whose coordination leads to n number of valence electrons being displaced from the ...
Solving Scheduling Deteriorating Jobs with Rate Modifying Activity
(2011-03-08)
Traditional scheduling problems assume that the processing time of a given job is always fixed. However, the processing times may change in real industrial applicants. To reflect the real world, we use two new phenomenons ...
Solving the Inverse Kinematic Robotics Problem: A Comparison Study of the Denavit-Hartenberg Matrix and Groebner Basis Theory
(2007-08-15)
The aim is to analyze two very di®erent methods for solving the inverse kinematic
robotics problem. The ¯rst method, called the Engineering Approach, uses the Denavit-
Hartenberg Matrix, and the second method, called the ...
Some Geometry of Symmetrized Tensor Spaces
(2014-05-01)
In this paper we investigate the geometry of symmetrized tensor spaces using a construct known as a coset space. We find that, for a group G, certain pairings of subgroups and irreducible characters give rise to ...
Some Like it Hot: Fire and Legume Germination in the Longleaf Pine Ecosystem
(2011-03-29)
Fire is a globally distributed disturbance and is important for structuring and maintaining the diversity of many frequently burned ecosystems. Competitive relationships and vegetation patterns may be affected by fire’s ...
Some Necessary Conditions for List Colorability of Graphs and a Conjecture on Completing Partial Latin Squares
(2008-12-15)
Let C be an infinite set of symbols, F the collection of finite subsets of C. A function
L is a list assignment to a graph G if L assigns to each vertex of G a finite subset of C.
A proper L-coloring occurs when adjacent ...
Some Studies on Modeling and Simulation of a Disc Brake System for Squeal Prediction
(2006-08-15)
Most mechanical systems that involve a sliding contact experience some degree of friction induced self-excited vibration. A well known example is brake squeal which is a top concern for automotive companies, who must spend ...
Some Studies on the Dynamic Response of Aluminum Cylindrical Shells Using Acoustic Excitation
(2016-01-27)
An understanding of the vibration and acoustic properties of cylindrical shells is vital if we are to solve noise problems in a wide range of practical applications, especially those that occur in pipes, ducts, aircraft ...
Some Systems of Ordinary Differential Equations from Cancer Modeling: Qualitative Analysis and Optimal Treatment
(2011-07-25)
In this thesis, we study four systems of ordinary differential equations, which model the interrelationships between different cell populations while tumor cells exist, and treatments, such as immunotherapy, chemotherapy, ...
Some Techniques in the Control of Dynamic Systems with Periodically Varying Coefficients
(2007-12-15)
The goal of this dissertation is to develop control system design methods for dynamic systems with time periodic coefficients. These systems arise naturally in many branches of science and engineering. As a rule, time ...
