Bias correction and Bayesian analysis of aggregate counts in SAGE libraries
(2010)Background: Tag-based techniques, such as SAGE, are commonly used to sample the mRNA pool of an organism's transcriptome. Incomplete digestion during the tag formation process may allow for multiple tags to be generated ... -
Chaos for cardiac arrhythmias through a one-dimensional modulation equation for alternans
(2010)Instabilities in cardiac dynamics have been widely investigated in recent years. One facet of this work has studied chaotic behavior, especially possible correlations with fatal arrhythmias. Previously chaotic behavior was ... -
Computational and Analytic Perspectives on the Drift Paradox
(2010)The fact that many small aquatic and marine organisms manage to persist in their native environments in the presence of constant advection into unfavorable habitat is known as the "drift paradox." Although advection may ... -
Improving the Recruitment and Retention of Teachers in Rural Rwanda
(2016-04-25)The objective of this paper is to improve the quality of rural education in Rwanda. It examines a single issue in this sector, that of problems with recruiting and retaining skilled teachers. Rural life is hard in a variety ... -
Measurement and Modeling of Radiation and Water Fluxes in Plantation Forests
(2009)An increasing number of experimental studies attempt to maximize biomass production of trees in plantations by removing nutrient and water limitations. The results from these studies begin to inform operational managers. ... -
Modeling Basketball Games as Alternating Renewal-Reward Processes and Predicting Match Outcomes
(2013-04-30)We fit an Alternating Renewal-Reward Process model to basketball games and use the models to predict the outcomes of 1209 games in the 2012-2013 National Basketball Association (NBA) season. Using data collected from NBC ... -
Modeling nitrogen fate in supercritical water oxidation
(2020)Supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) had been investigated as an advanced technology for the removal of inert and stable organics found in wide range of wastes. Ammonia and nitrous oxide are confirmed in outlet of SCWO system ... -
On Population Structure and Marriage Dynamics
(2010)I develop an equilibrium, a two-sided search model of marriage with endogenous population growth, to study the interaction between fertility, the age structure of the population and the age of men and women at first marriage. ... -
Piano Concerto
(2008-04-25)The dissertation consists of a Piano Concerto, written for first performance in Fall 2008 by Blair McMillen, piano, and the Raleigh Civic Symphony conducted by Randolph Foy. The three movement work is scored for piccolo, ... -
Predicting Ligand Selectivity of Mammalian Odorant Receptors
(2015)The mammalian olfactory system uses a large family of odorant receptors to detect and discriminate amongst a myriad of volatile odor molecules. The odorant receptors are similar in protein sequence, but their ligand selectivities ... -
Prescribed Fire: Balancing Public Health and Land Management Goals
(2022-05-22)Fire is a critical component of many natural disturbance regimes in the southeastern United States; however, a century of fire suppression policies has disrupted many such regimes and severely degraded ecosystems throughout ...
