Quantifying three-dimensional vegetation structure and its responses to disturbances using laser altimetry in the New Jersey Pinelands
Creators: name: Skowronski, Nicholas
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: The use of remotely sensed data to gain insight into large-scale ecological questions has intrigued researchers for decades. Recent technological advances have allowed for new types of data collection that add a third dimension to the realm of remotely sensed data.  The work presented in this dissertation is linked by the use of laser altimetry data that allows scaling of field-based estimates of three-dimensional canopy structure to the landscape level. This dissertation strives to determine the repeatability of these measurements, develop robust methodologies for the application of new processing techniques to the data, application of these techniques to carbon accounting through high-resolution biomass mapping, and determine the ecological importance of these through the quantification of successional pathways and disturbance effects on canopy structure. Through examination of spatially-rectified Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) datasets, I found that intrinsic differences between LiDAR sensors affect their representation of canopy structure. However, I also found that statistical outputs from these sensors were highly correlated, and thus could be cross-calibrated strongly enough to allow for high resolution change detection of canopy height. Additionally, I calibrated and validated a methodology for processing raw LiDAR data allowing for the generation of high resolution (here 25 m horizontal resolution) maps of canopy height profiles, or canopy shape.  I applied these methodologies to a large scale (ca. 1600 km2) scanning LiDAR dataset and developed maps of forest carbon storage and forest canopy shape. Forest carbon analyses illustrated the importance of wetlands systems and the contrasting effects of wildfire and prescribed fire on carbon storage in this system. Analysis of forest canopy shape showed distinct similarities, but also subtle differences, between cover types when compared over a height gradient. My results indicate that canopy shape is affected differently by contrasting fire regimes. This dissertation illustrates the potential for using LiDAR data for quantifying forest structure in complex landscape mosaics. The results here suggest that LiDAR technology can advance our measurement and understanding of forest structure and thereby improve our ability to estimate forest function, habitat suitability, wildfire risk, and other questions within many disciplines.
Doppler-based localization for mobile autonomous underwater vehicles

Year: 2011

description: A novel algorithm for localization of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) operating in under-the-ice environments is proposed along with a mathematical analysis for the same. The objective is to accurately predict the position of a mobile AUV via cooperation with neighboring vehicles by utilizing a Doppler-based approach. Current existing localization techniques require either an anchor or surfacing AUV to acquire a GPS fix or rely on a system of expensive and difficult to deploy hardware. Our Doppler-based approach is based on observed Doppler shifts, which are measured opportunistically from ongoing communications between AUVs. These observed Doppler shifts can be used to project the subsequent positions of the AUV and limit the internal uncertainty associated with traditional localization techniques. An AUV's internal uncertainty is the uncertainty in the position of a mobile vehicle as estimated by itself, e.g., via localization techniques. In addition, this Doppler-based approach has minimal network overhead when compared to traditional localization techniques and does not require synchronization between AUVs. The main focus of this thesis is to quantify (via simulations) the solution behavior as well as its sensitivity to possible sources of errors.

Design, synthesis, and utility of fuctionalized nanoscale amphiphilic macromolecules for biomedical applications
Creators: name: Sparks, Sarah Marie
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: Polymeric micelles are spherical assemblies of amphiphilic polymers widely studied for many biomedical applications. Nanoscale amphiphilic macromolecules (AMs) are novel amphiphilic polymers composed of an alkylated sugar backbone covalently linked to poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). In aqueous solution, AMs self-assemble to form 10-20 nm micelles with critical micelle concentrations as low as 100 nM, making them more stable than other common micelles. In addition, the basic structure of AMs has multiple points of modification such that the polymer can be modified and evaluated for virtually any application. This work highlights the promise of functionalized AMs as a novel, versatile biomaterial. Carboxy-terminated AMs were previously shown to inhibit highly oxidized low- density lipoprotein (hoxLDL) uptake in macrophage cells. To gain a mechanistic understanding of this inhibition, a series of AMs were designed and synthesized by modifying the basic polymer structure to evaluate several characteristics including: amphiphilicity, PEG chain length, anionic charge location, type of anionic charge, number of anionic charges, rotational motion of the anionic group, and PEG architecture. The optimal AM for inhibiting hoxLDL uptake was determined to be one with a rigid, rotationally-restricted carboxylic acid within the hydrophobic portion of the polymer. Building upon previous work that showed AMs deliver cargo intracellulary, a series of cationic polymers were designed and synthesized for nucleic acid delivery. The cationic moiety was added within the hydrophobic component of the AMs such that when the cationic portion complexed with anionic nucleic acids, the nucleic acids would be localized in the micellar interior. Three cationic AMs were evaluated with varying surface charges. The polymer with the highest surface charge was the most effective at complexing with and delivering small interfering RNA to U87 glioma cells. Finally, without modification, AMs are capable of water-solubilizing hydrophobic drugs. This property can be applied to hydrophobic fluorescent nanocrystals, which are useful for biological imaging. In the last chapter, AMs were utilized to water-solubilize white light-emitting nanocrystals without altering the emission properties of the nanocrystals. By modifying the polymer structure to incorporate functionalities that can coordinate to the surface of the nanocrystals, smaller, water-soluble assemblies that maintain white light-emission were obtained.

Objects of desire
Creators: name: Streule, Wendy
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: This dissertation is an investigation into the place and purpose of eroticism in seventeenth-century Dutch art.  Sexualized iconography was certainly not uncommon in this period; much of it has become familiar fare to modern scholars and viewers.  What is significantly less understood, though no less frequent in occurrence, are images that are erotic in and of themselves.  It is my thesis that there exists a larger body of erotic visual material than has been heretofore acknowledged.  Drawing attention to the existence of imagery concerned encouraging a direct erotic response facilitates a reconstruction of the place of erotic imagery in seventeenth-century Holland. This study analyzes the material in an effort to create a new context for the reception of these cultural artifacts and works to highlight how canonical prejudices have encouraged scholars and viewers to see these objects as peripheral to the artistic product of the Dutch Golden Age. Questions concerned with audience, market pressures, artistic aspirations, the relationship between a theme and its form and meaning are addressed through close readings of nine primary case studies.  The subjects of these examples are drawn from almost every category, ranging from genre subjects to pastoral themes.  This diversity is suggestive of a higher threshold of tolerance for suggestive imagery than was previously assumed for this culture.  As each chapter demonstrates, these nine examples are but a fraction of images that privilege a visual rather than a thematic or didactic eroticism.  The intent of works such as Bartholomeus van der Helst’s Female Nude with Drapery or Jan Gerritsz van Bronchorst’s Sleeping Nymph and a Shepherd is remarkably clear.  By analyzing these astonishing works and establishing appropriate backdrops against which their eroticism is highlighted, this dissertation foregrounds material that has too often been mischaracterized in the study of seventeenth-century Dutch art.  Focusing on how these objects mean as a way to understand what they mean serves to broaden the field of Dutch art historical studies and reinsert these images into a more holistic and international picture of European Baroque art.

description: It is well established that oxaliplatin, one of the three Pt(II) anticancer drugs approved worldwide, and phenanthriplatin, an important preclinical monofunctional Pt(II) anticancer drug, possess a different mode of action from that of cisplatin and carboplatin, namely, the induction of nucleolar stress. The exact mechanisms that lead to Pt-induced nucleolar stress are, however, still poorly understood. As such, studies aimed at better understanding the biological targets of both oxaliplatin and phenanthriplatin are urgently needed to expand our understanding of Pt-induced nucleolar stress and guide the future design of Pt chemotherapeutics. One approach that has seen great success in the past is the use of Pt-click complexes to study the biological targets of Pt drugs. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of the first examples of click-capable phenanthriplatin complexes. Furthermore, through monitoring the relocalization of nucleolar proteins, RNA transcription levels, and DNA damage repair biomarker γH2AX, and by investigating their in vitro cytotoxicity, we show that these complexes successfully mimic the cellular responses observed for phenanthriplatin treatment in the same experiments. The click-capable phenanthriplatin derivatives described here expand the existing library of Pt-click complexes. Significantly they are suitable for studying nucleolar stress mechanisms and further elucidating the biological targets of Pt complexes.

Year: 1998

description: This inventory is a follow-up to the June 1996 inventory of the Harvey Brook Watershed.  The current inventory was expanded to include recommendations for maintenance and improvements to one of the four specific areas studies.  For this inventory, the watershed was divided into four specific areas, excluding any areas of development.  For each of the four, the an inventory of plant and animal species was undertaken.  The plants were grouped into four categories:  abundant, common, occasional, and infrequent.  Animals were grouped into three categories: actual observation, evidentiary observation,  and possible.  It was determined that all four of the areas have been significantly impacted by development.  Recommendations and improvements are suggested for each of the four areas.

It will also help Warren County review regional planning issues in adjacent counties (Morris, Hunterdon, and  Sussex) and in Pennsylvania.
Sublethal Effects of Contaminants on Aquatic Organisms
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection
Year: 1984

description: This study seeks ways to measure chronic biological effects in the context of a complex ecosystem. Laboratory studies and single contaminant exposure bioassays must, of necessity, be continued to give baselines and more precise indications of effects of  exposure.  But in addition there must be methods of gauging impacts in the "real world". The development of biological monitoring techniques that could detect sublethal indications of environmental stress in the field would provide a useful service in water pollution assessment. Our purpose in carrying out the present research was to determine if such methodology  could be developed for in situ monitoring that would be sensitive enough to be useful for assessing ecosystem damage and in alerting us to possible long term effects of toxic chemicals emitted into the environment.  After preliminary investigation of several candidate sites a study area was chosen along a stretch of the Raritan River mainstem located in Somerset County, New Jersey.  Studies carried out at the sampling stations included water measurements for temperature, total alkalinity, and particulate organic carbon (POC) determined by previously described methods, a census of benthic populations, investigations of growth as indicated by shell morphology studies in bivalve mollusk Corbicula fluminea, and biochemical measurements in Corbicula and the gastropod Goniobasis virginica, which included adenylate energy charge (AEC) and lipid and glycogen determinations.
tructural Errors Related to Word Formation among the Second Learners of English: A Case Study of Undergraduate Students of the Department of English and Literary Studies, Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki
Creators: name: NWOKWU, FIDELIS A.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: AbstractStructural errors related to word formation among the second learners of English pose serious problems to L2 users of English especially at the undergraduate levels of English Studies. The study aims to find out the structural errors related to word formation in English and consider the pedagogical implications. The Item and Process (I.P.) Analytical theoretical framework is adopted while a descriptive research design method is deployed for the analysis. The finding showed that students have problems with different morphological processes in English as a result of factors such as the inconsistency in the morphological rules, misapplication of some word formation rules, and mother tongue interference. The study, therefore, recommends that teachers of English in this area of study should endeavour to master the in-depth knowledge of these morphological rules and applications to be able to transfer the skills to the second learners of English.Keywords: Structural errors, word formation, morphological rules, second learners, English language

Random matrices and random boxes
Creators: name: Tran, Linh V. (Linh Vinh)
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: This thesis concerns two questions on random structures: the semi-circular law for adjacency matrix of regular random graph and the piercing number for random boxes. Random matrices: We proved in full generality the semi-circular law for random d-regular graph model in the case d tends to infinity as n does. Our result complements the McKay law [19], which applied for the case d is an absolute constant.    Random boxes. Take n random boxes with axis-parallel edges inside the unit cube [0; 1][superscript]d, the piercing number is the minimum number of points needed to pierce all boxes. Using hypergraph setting, we was able to prove a near sharp estimation for the piercing number.  This thesis is based on two papers by the author [31] and [30] (joint work with Van Vu and Ke Wang).
Nonsmooth impact mechanics of a free falling body
Creators: name: Titovich, Alexey
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: In this study, several models are developed for analyzing the oblique impact of a container dropped from a height above the impacting surface.  The governing equations for impact of rigid bodies in the presence of friction are developed. A clear relationship for determining sliding behavior is presented. For both frictional regimes, the dependence of the energy loss on the initial parameters is analyzed. Several vibrational impact models are presented and analyzed. These models produce a transient description of the impact force and aid in the determination of the ratio of the cushion and cargo stiffness which produce the best impact outcome. The effect of aerodynamic drag prior to impact is also analyzed. The equations governing the aerodynamics form a set of coupled nonlinear differential equations. The numerical solution of these equations illustrates that there exists a point where the object’s velocity reaches a favorable minimum, which is substantially below the terminal velocity. An approximate solution, obtained by decoupling the aerodynamic equations, is presented and validated. Both the rigid body impact mechanics and the aerodynamics are combined in a simulation code capable of analyzing subsequent impact. The simulated tumbling distances for a container, which was designed for the U.S. Army, are compared to experimental drop test data. The results validate the use of the rigid body model for this type of container.
