Generational Impact on Self-Group Distancing Among the LGBTQ+ Community

Shepard, Marion (2024-04-05)

The purpose of this study is to analyze how generational membership impacts the presence and frequency of self-group distancing attitudes, behaviors, and cognitive patterns among members of the LGBTQ+ community. After ...

Generic Films and Fibers from Polysaccharides: Chitosan and Alginate

Boy, Ramiz (2011-06-28)

Chitosan and alginate are both extracted from natural resources, and both are biocompatible, biodegradable, and hydrophilic. Thus, chitosan-alginate biopolymer mixtures have the potential to form new functional polymers ...

Generic Reverse Engineering Architecture with Compiler and Compression Classification Components

Torri, Stephen (2009-05-15)

As more and more applications, libraries, and other types of programs are being executed in untrusted environments they will be targets of attackers. These applications are exposed to malicious programs attempting to exploit ...

GENERTIA: A System for Vulnerability Analysis, Design and Redesign of Immunity-Based Anomaly Detection System

Hou, Haiyu (2006-12-15)

The principles of immunology have been applied to the design and implementation of artificial systems and algorithms for solving a broad range of mathematical and engineering problems, which results in a new computation ...

Genesis and Taphonomy of a Crinoid Lagerstatte in the Upper Pennsylvanian Barnsdall Formation of Northeastern Oklahoma

Thomka, James (2010-10-20)

A 50-cm mudstone interval within the Upper Pennsylvanian Barnsdall Formation, exposed near Copan, Washington County, northeastern Oklahoma, records prodeltaic distal shelf sedimentation in an oxygenated, low energy setting. ...

Genetic Algorithms in Agent Based Computational Economics

Forczyk, Nathan (2014-05-01)

Genetic algorithms are commonly used in agent based computational economics. In this dissertation they are examined in the context of agent based modeling and economic theory and applications. The drawbacks and strengths ...

Genetic Analysis of Dispersal and Population Dynamics of the Southeastern Coyote (Canis latrans)

Dennis, Dalinda (2010-05-13)

Two different types of genetic analyses, phylogeography and population genetics, were completed on coyotes (Canis latrans) across the Central Plains, Midwestern, and Southeastern United States. The first goal of this study ...

Genetic analysis of loci controlling heat tolerance and ESC disease resistance in catfish

Jin, Yulin (2018-07-25)

Catfish is one of the main aquaculture species in the US. However, the catfish industry is under the threat of various of environmental stresses and diseases, with heat stress and ESC are two major representatives. One ...

Genetic and Evolutionary Protocols for Solving Distributed Asymmetric Constraint Satisfaction Problems

Fu, Ser-Geon (2007-08-15)

Processor speed has been growing at an exponential rate over the past 50 years. Computers are getting smaller, cheaper and faster. Over the past 30 years, with the growth of the internet, new forms of decentralized ...

Genetic and genomic enhancement of the aquaculture production of hybrid catfish

Wang, Haolong (2023-08-03) ETD File Embargoed

Channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) and blue catfish (Ictalurus furcatus) are two important freshwater aquaculture species in the United States. Interspecific hybridization is an efficient strategy to enhance production ...

Genetic Assessment of Alabama's Redeye Bass (Micropterus coosae)

Lewis, Matt (2022-11-28)

The southeastern United States is a hotspot for aquatic biodiversity that is under constant threat of extirpation and extinction due to human disturbance. Molecular markers are relatively new tools that are applicable to ...

Genetic Diversity and Connectivity of Black Bears (Ursus americanus) in Alabama.

Draper, John (2017-04-21)

One of the major concerns in conservation today is the loss of genetic diversity which is a frequent consequence of population isolation and small population sizes. Fragmentation of populations and persecution of carnivores ...
