Rainbow Cycle Forbidding Edge Colorings
(2019-07-18)
It is well known that K_n can be edge colored using n-1 colors in order to avoid rainbow cycles; moreover, this is the maximum number of colors possible. We call such an edge coloring a JL-coloring. In previous work it has ...
Rainbow Trees in Edge-Colored Complete Graphs and Block Decompositions of Almost Complete Graphs
(2017-04-26)
This dissertation focuses on two problems, the first involving the existence of many edge-disjoint rainbow spanning trees in edge-colored complete graphs, and the second, creating a balanced sampling plan for a two-dimensional ...
Rainfall Simulator Construction and Evaluation of Erosion Control Practices
(2021-12-03)
This thesis addresses the performance of erosion control products using the Auburn University Stormwater Research Facility ASTM D6459 rainfall simulators. Five products were tested for the ALDOT project Evaluation of ALDOT ...
Raman-Spectrokinetics to Determine Structure-Reactivity Relationships in Catalytic Reactions with Supported Metal Oxide Catalysts
(2020-07-20)
The relationship between catalyst surface structure and reactivity/selectivity still represents one of the most important questions to be addressed in modern heterogeneous catalysis. Such fundamental information would allow ...
Random and Vector Measures: from "Toy" Measurable Systems to Quantum Probability
(2013-07-10)
Vector measure theory and Bochner integration have been well studied over the past century. This work is an introduction to both theories and explores various examples and
applications in each. The theories and theorems ...
Random Time Change and Some Applications
(2014-04-25)
This thesis is a survey of known results concerning random time change and its applications. It will cover basic probabilistic concepts and then follow with a detailed look at major results in several branches of probability ...
Range Expansion Dynamics and Interspecific Interactions of the Invasive Cuban Treefrog in Florida
(2017-11-20)
Biological invasions simultaneously represent a threat to native biota and provide an opportunity to test ecological and evolutionary ideas. Increased interest in the field of invasion ecology has greatly improved our ...
Rank Based Group Variable Selection for Functional Linear Model
(2019-12-09)
We propose a robust rank based variable selection method for a functional linear regression model with multiple explanatory functions and a scalar response. The procedure extends rank based group variable selection to ...
Rank Based Methods for Repeated Measurement Data
(2011-05-16)
This dissertation considers rank based methods for one sample and two sample repeated measurement data. As a specific example, in Chapter 2, this dissertation considers nonparametric tests for selective predation. ...
Rank-Based Estimation for Generalized Additive Models
(2016-07-08)
This thesis focuses on the improvement of generalized additive models (GAMs) using rank estimators. We introduce estimation of the smoothing functions in GAMs via backfitting in a local scoring algorithm using maximization ...
Rank-Based Methods for Single-Index Varying Coefficient Models
(2017-06-27)
The single-index varying coefficient model has received much attention due to its flexibility and interpretability in recent years. This dissertation is mainly concerned with the rank-based estimation and variable selection ...
Rank-Based Regression for Nonlinear and Missing Response Models
(2012-07-09)
This dissertation is mainly concerned with the rank-based estimation of model parameters in complex regression models: a general nonlinear regression model and a semi-parametric regression model with missing responses. For ...
Rapid and efficient synthesis of core-shell nano formulation and nanoparticles using 3D printed microfluidic reactor
(2019-07-16)
Synthesize the core/shell nanoparticles by using 3d printed micrefluidics and do some nano formulation.
Rapid Detection of Listeria Monocytogenes in Salad by Polymerase Chain Reaction
(2005-08-15)
The development of rapid detection methods for the testing of ready-to-eat products is an area of high importance, not only for the food industry but also for consumers. The USDA standard for zero tolerance of Listeria ...
Rapid Missile System Characterization Using Computational Intelligence
(2014-05-15)
There exist many physical relationships between dynamic systems that humans can infer
data from where an exact science may not be possible or plausible to apply. The imprecision
or inaccuracy of attempted models and ...
Rapid peanut phenotyping and water quality monitoring using remote sensing and machine learning techniques
(2022-12-06)
As aerial and sensing technologies have been developed, so have their applications in plant phenotyping and water quality monitoring. This is especially true with respect to the mass manufacture of easily portable quadcopters ...
Rapid prediction of wood constituent composition and energy traits using near-infrared spectroscopy
(2013-07-11)
There is increasing interest in producing energy from renewable biomass resources. These resources, however, tend to be highly variable in nature and this heterogeneity can complicate their effective utilization. Rapid ...
