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 ...
Investigation of Precise Relative Positioning through Varying Equipment Grades
(2022-02-22)
In this thesis, three methodologies are investigated in order to provide precise relative positioning knowledge between two dynamic platforms as equipment grade is varied. Two methods are integrated into the real-time ...
Incorporating drought and marker associated traits into the DSSAT model
(2022-02-21)
Most agronomic traits are genetically complex and often show genotype × environment (G × E) interactions which complicate selection and slows down the breeding progress. As model parameters can represent certain genetic ...
Training the Emerging Pilot Workforce: Does Generation and Gender Influence Curriculum Development?
(2022-03-04)
This study investigated the learning styles of pilots and non-pilots and then focused on the gender and generational differences among the pilots surveyed. Invitations to participate in an anonymous online Qualtrics survey ...
Categorization of Coast Guard Aviation Mishaps Following Aircraft Model Transitions: A Natural Language Processing Approach
(2022-03-03)
Aircraft model transitions at United States Coast Guard (USCG) air stations present a unique, and often hidden, set of hazards that may only be identified through reported mishaps. Although all USCG aviation mishaps are ...
Outcomes Associated with Teacher-Guided Indoor Preschool Physical Activity Interventions
(2022-03-08)
In the United States, preschool-aged children are not meeting age specific physical activity recommendations (1-3, 42, 82, 83) and spending a large portion of their days sedentary (4, 27). Minority children living in ...
Design and Calibration of Stress Sensors on 4H-SiC
(2022-03-07)
Stresses in electronic packages due to thermal and mechanical loadings can cause premature mechanical failures such as fracture of die, severing of connections, die bond failure, solder fatigue, and encapsulant cracking. ...
Empirical Evidence of the Consequences of Bad Smells in Software
(2022-03-08)
A “smell” is a property of software source code that indicates a deeper problem. Smells do not necessarily affect the code at the immediate point in time but are thought to cause problems during a later phase of the ...
Mixed Infection in Tomato Plants by Dominant Bacterial Spot Pathogen and the Co-occurring Bacterial Species
(2022-03-08)
Pathogen dynamics can be altered by co-occurring pathogenic or opportunistic entities inhabiting the same host species. Mixed infection or co-infection caused by multiple pathogenic strains are common in nature. However, ...
Population genomics and geospatial tools to inform management and research priorities for non-marine molluscs
(2022-03-07)
Non-marine molluscs comprise a large portion of biodiversity on Earth. However, they are among the most understudied and imperiled groups globally. As such, there is a pressing need to fill knowledge gaps regarding fundamental ...
