▼ Mass transport limitations and surface interactions are important phenomena in microfluidic devices. The flow of water is laminar at small scales and the absence of turbulent mixing can lead to transport limitations, especially for reactions that take place at surfaces. Microscale devices have a high ratio of surface area to volume, and proteins are known to adsorb preferentially at interfaces. Protein adsorption plays a significant role in biology by mediating critical processes such as the attachment of cells to surfaces, the immune response and the coagulation of blood. Simulation tools that can quantitatively predict transport and protein adsorption will enable the rational design of microfluidic devices for biomedical applications. Two-dimensional random sequential adsorption (RSA) models are widely used to model the adsorption of proteins on surfaces. As Brownian dynamics simulations have become popular for modeling protein adsorption, the interface model has changed from two-dimensional to three-dimensional. Brownian dynamics simulations were used to model the diffusive transport of hard-sphere particles in a liquid and the adsorption of the particles onto a uniform surface. The configuration of the adsorbed particles was analyzed to quantify the chemical potential near the surface, which was used to derive a continuum model of adsorption that incorporates the results from the Brownian dynamics simulations. The equations of the continuum model were discretized and coupled to a conventional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of diffusive transport to the surface. The kinetics of adsorption iii predicted by the continuum model closely matched the results from the Brownian dynamics simulation. This new model allows the results from mesoscale simulations to be used as a boundary condition for micro- or macro-scale CFD simulations of transport and protein adsorption in practical devices. Continuum models were used to interpret experimental measurements of the kinetics of protein adsorption. A Whispering Gallery Mode (WGM) biosensor was constructed and used to measure the adsorption of fibronectin (FN) and glucose oxidase (GO) onto several types alkysilane self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). Computational fluid dynamics was used to model the transport of protein in the flow cell of the biosensor. Various models were fitted to the experimental data, taking into account the transport limitations predicted by the CFD simulations. The fitted parameter values and the quality of fit of the various models were analyzed to test hypotheses about the mechanisms of adsorption. Cells were cultured on silane surfaces coated with FN to assess its biological activity, and a colorimetric assay was used to determine the enzymatic activity of the adsorbed glucose oxidase. The results of the GO activity assay were compared to the activity predicted by the models. The WGM biosensor, transport simulation and kinetic model fitting enabled new insights into the adsorption of proteins on functionalized surfaces at solution…

▼ There is a labyrinth of complex social connections between people and places that deserves careful anthropological reflection. People do not simply occupy places; they experience them, infusing them with life and social meaning. Basso (1996:53) argues that ethnography has reported little about the complex ways in which people are “alive to the world around them.” Anthropology is currently experiencing a resurging emphasis on place that seeks to account for its remarkably social features. Rather than primarily thinking about place when determining a location for fieldwork, emerging anthropological reflection shows the discipline is repositioning itself to explore the complex and often fantastic ways people experience, conceptualize, and confer meaning to their natural surroundings. In anthropology, the phrase “sense of place” captures these ideas. The phenomenological approach has emerged as the theoretical centerpiece for this effort, promising to open extraordinary new pathways for qualitative exploration. This thesis uses the life history methodology to explore how two female Palestinian immigrants to Central Florida experience and confer meaning to their ancestral homeland and place of birth. Data collected through a series of life history interviews highlight the texture of Palestinian senses of place, including the presence of what I describe as an eschatological sense of place.

▼ Developing techniques for the parallel fabrication of Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) compatible single walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) electronic devices is of great importance for nanoelectronic applications. In this thesis, solution processed SWNTs in combination with AC dielectrophoresis (DEP) were utilized to fabricate CMOS compatible SWNT field effect transistors (FETs) and single electron transistors (SETs) with high yield and their detailed electronic transport properties were studied. Solution processing of SWNTs is attractive not only for the high throughput and parallel manufacturing of SWNT devices but also due to the ease of processing at room temperature, and compatibility with various substrates. However, it is generally believed that solution processing introduces defects and can degrade electronic transport properties. The results presented in this dissertation show that devices assembled from stable solutions of SWNT can give rise to high quality FET devices at room temperature and relatively clean SET behavior at low temperature. This is a strong indication that there are no or few intrinsic defects in the SWNTs. The dissertation will also discuss the controlled fabrication of size tunable SWNT SET devices using a novel mechanical template approach which offers a route towards the parallel fabrication of room temperature SET devices. The approach is based on the formation of two tunnel barriers created in a SWNT a distance L apart by bending the SWNT at the edge of a local Al/Al2O3 bottom gate. The local gate tunes individual electrons one by one in the device and defines the size of the quantum dot though its width. By tuning both the back gate and local gate, it is possible to tune the transparency of tunnel barriers and the size of the quantum dot further. Detailed transport spectroscopy of these devices will be presented.

▼ This study used indirect methods to estimate patterns of gene flow in a rare salamander species, the striped newt (Notophthalmus perstriatus). First, we used combined genetic and ecological methods to determine whether populations that appear to exist in two regions separated by 125 km, exhibited genetic and ecological distinctness such that the regions demarcate separate conservation units. Using mtDNA (cyt-b), we found that haplotypes were shared between localities within each region but none were shared between regions. Niche-based distribution modeling revealed significant differences in the ecological setting between the two regions. In combination, the absence of evidence for recent genetic exchange and model-based support for differing ecological conditions utilized by newts between regions provides evidence that eastern and western populations are both distinct and significant. This study suggests a framework to evaluate discreteness and significance among populations for assessment of distinct population segments (DPSs which can be used as a conservation tool for many species. Second, we used microsatellites to characterize patterns of population connectivity, genetic differentiation, and effective population size in N. perstriatus. We assessed these patterns by testing several a priori hypotheses regarding the influence of gene flow and genetic drift on the distribution of genetic variation among and within populations. Interestingly, several of our results did not conform to our hypotheses. For example, our assessment did not reveal a significant pattern of isolation by distance among populations in this study. Additionally, we found that effective population sizes and genetic diversity of isolated populations were higher than expected. We discuss our results relate to our a priori hypotheses and we address the general question of why this species exhibited patterns contrary to what we expected given previous data on this taxon and other studies of similar taxa.

▼ A taxonomy of achievement design features that exist currently in video game systems was created in order to evaluate the current the state of the art in achievement design. From the taxonomy of design features multiple mechanisms of action that influence player behavior were identified. These mechanisms lead to a predictive model that can guide the designs of achievements in order to improve performance, self-efficacy and motivation in players. Expected, unexpected, and incremental achievements were tested. Notifications occurring before and after earning an achievement were also tested. In addition to testing individual mechanisms of action a “combined achievement” was created with multiple mechanisms added that were hand-picked. For testing purposes the model was applied to achievements that were inserted into an instructional game. The results of the study revealed that individual mechanisms of action had little effect on players while multiple mechanisms in a combined achievement caused significant improvements in several categories. The limitations of the current study, as well as, plans for future study are also discussed.

▼ A hydrogeologic assessment was performed to study the aquifer characteristics and hydrostratigraphy of the South Las Posas Basin (SLPB), which is one of three Las Posas Valley groundwater sub-basins. The SLPB is located within the Calleguas Creek Watershed in southeastern Ventura County, California and encompasses an area of approximately 10,560 acres (16.5 sq. miles). Over 90% of SLPB groundwater demands are met through the State Water Project and supplied by Calleguas Municipal Water District (CMWD), which is not a sustainable solution for the SLPB and surrounding Las Posas Valley.

▼ The formation of Tharsis rise on Mars is a highly debated topic. Tharsis topography is
very localized within the global terrain of Mars. The timing of Tharsis formation likely
occurred early in Mars history in the Noachian but post dates the hemispheric crustal
dichotomy which it overprints. Several models have been proposed to explain a localized
orogeny, but use of boundary layer theory or convection studies result in multiple, evenly
spaced plumes or have instability growth and rise times which are longer than estimates
for Tharsis formation. We propose a new model which couples the early differentiation
processes of the Mars interior and Tharsis formation. Here we conduct physical fluid
dynamic experiments of core formation using high viscosity glucose syrup and an
emulsion of liquid, metal gallium. Melting due to impacts during accretion may induce
silicate-metal separation and form a liquid iron pond that settles temporarily at the base of
the magma ocean. Thus we design our experiments as a two component fluid system with
a metal pond at the interface. Previous experiments using a smooth liquid diapir observed
three regimes for conduit formation where 1) low density conduit material is entrained
and descends through the conduit, 2) reverses flow direction once the metal diapir
reaches the base, and 3) travels back to the surface emptying out the conduit causing it to
collapse. In our experiments with an emulsion diapir, we find that only regimes 1 and 3
are observed within the conduit. This is due to the fact that the return flow of buoyant
conduit material does not occur within the conduit, but is forced to exit the conduit by the
second stage of falling emulsion drops and travels to the surface as a buoyant thermochemical
plume along its own path. A 2nd stage of small thermo-chemical plumes are
observed to rise to the surface as they separate from the 2nd stage of sinking metal
emulsion drops. This study suggests a thermo-chemical plume, which forms as a
secondary effect of core formation, may explain the formation of a localized orogeny
such as the Tharsis rise on Mars. Fluid experiments scaled to the planetary mantle interior
indicate that the time for a metal-silicate plume to sink to the core, separation of silicate
from liquid metal, growth of a buoyant thermo-chemical plume, and subsequent rise to
the surface is on the order of 1-8 My. This model is consistent with several observations
for Tharsis formation including rapid formation within the Noachian, the requirement of
a single large upwelling soon after core formation, arrival of a plume after formation of
the crustal dichotomy, as well as later effusive stages of volcanism on Tharsis observed
up to the Amazonian.

▼ The San Gorgonio Pass fault zone is a thrust-dominated, complex fault system, that connects strike-slip segments of the southern San Andreas fault. The structural complexities of the Pass region are considered by some to be a barrier to through-going San Andreas fault ruptures. Understanding the rupture history of this region is key to forecasting large earthquakes along the southern San Andreas fault. (See more in text.)

▼ Meteorite samples and isotopic studies indicate that large planetary embryos and planetestimals had early core formation and that the segregation of metal happened within 30 Myr of the formation of the Solar System. Previous geodynamic studies hypothesized that violent impacts had provided substantial energy that possibly completely or partially melted impacting objects as well as the upper layer of the early Earth, leading to the formation of the magma ocean during the core formation and differentiation phase. Metal ejecta of the cores of differentiated planetesimals may have formed metal drops, descended through the magma ocean and collected into metal ponds at the base of the magma ocean. Over time, the heavy metallic ponds would become unstable and descend through the primitive mantle, either following cracks and fractures or larger downwelling events involved in convective structures such as Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities or large diapirs. In this research, we perform experiments only in the case of large diapirs from Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities of metal ponds. Once a metal pond descends through the primitive mantle, it creates a conduit behind it which fills with magma ocean material. Using fluid laboratory experiments, we observe the onset time of the high Bond number metal-silicate plume and its size and shape while it descends. We also report the experimental results and present analogous models for the trailing conduit formed after the descent of the metal-silicate plume during core formation and differentiation. Specifically, we study the trailing conduit as it changes its shape and size while descending to the base, the reversal flow due to positive buoyancy, how the conduit collapses, and all the forces involved. Finally, we calculate the constriction time for conduits in different early Earth scenarios by varying the primitive mantle's viscosity, density contrast between the magma ocean and primitive mantle materials, as well as the conduit radius.

▼ The Mission Creek and Banning strands of the San Andreas fault zone merge at Biskra Palms, near Indio, CA. Here faulting appears to have dextrally displaced the northern margin of an ~ 50 ka alluvial fan by ~ 600 to 700 m in a right-lateral sense. Some geologic maps however, show a thrust fault that merges with the downstream edge of the fan and raises the possibility that the fan edge has been structurally modified since abandonment. We excavated a series of cuts across the fan edge to test this hypothesis. These cuts reveal features that support a thrust fault model as they show a 1-m-thick, subhorizontal shear zone that contains Plio-Pleistocene Palm Spring Formation in its hanging wall and late Pleistocene alluvium and Holocene(?) colluvium and alluvium in its footwall. The excavations clearly show that the shear zone overrides paleo-topography of the ~ 50 ka fan. In places colluvium and alluvium fill low-lying areas ahead of the hanging wall block that was subsequently overridden by motion on the thrust. Faulting therefore post-dates the youngest footwall unit. Though no dateable material has been obtained, the unconsolidated nature and lack of soil development suggest that the colluvium and alluvium found in the footwall is quite young. Several features support a SE-transport direction of the fault including map-scale E-W trending open folds in the hanging wall and SE-trending slickenlines within the shear zone. In addition, the hanging wall block contains alluvial strath terraces that are cut into the Palm Spring Formation, ~ 30-50 m above the footwall. Though their age is unknown, the soil and desert varnish on terrace boulders resembles the ~ 50 ka fan surface in the footwall. This possible correlation yields an uplift rate of 0.5-1.0 mm/yr, and slip rate of 1-2 mm/yr assuming a 30-degree dipping thrust and a San Andreas-parallel slip vector. The margin of the ~ 50 ka fan is therefore substantially modified by thrust faulting and using the fan edge to constrain displacement would underestimate the total amount of right-lateral slip across the San Andreas fault here. Our new model interprets the thrust as the surface trace of the Banning fault strand where it overrides the Biskra Palms fan and merges with Mission Creek fault strand.

▼ The Mw 7.6 Kashmir earthquake and its surface rupture of the Balakot-Bagh fault, considered by many to be inactive prior to 2005, underscored the need to better understand the active tectonics of the northwest Himalaya and raised concern that other unrecognized active faults may occur in the region. The Riasi fault, by all accounts a close relative to the Balakot-Bagh fault, occurs ~150 km along strike to the southeast of the 2005 rupture. Both are reverse faults that place tightly folded Precambrian limestone over Pliocene and younger non-marine strata. (See more in text.)

▼ The Biskra Palms alluvial fan is displaced by two splays of the Mission Creek fault of the southern San Andreas fault near Indio, CA. The lower-most portion of the Biskra Fan, also referred to as the T2 fan, has been quarried by Granite Construction Co. exposing sediment down to 80 m depth. Stratigraphic descriptions and measurements of these sediments within the quarry reveal stacked alluvial fan systems that have been displaced from source canyons farther to the southeast than the Biskra site. Age dating of buried sediments through the Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) technique reveals anomalously young apparent ages for sediment from 1.4 m down to 30 m depth. The young ages are attributed to Thorium disequilibrium. When Thorium values are modified to a factor of 4 times lower than the analyzed amount, the age of the sediment is increased by ~30%. Future studies to determine the offset and source canyon of the ancient fan systems can produce additional slip rate estimates for the SAF at this location. Additional analysis is recommended to determine how Thorium values affect the dose rate and ultimately the calculation of the OSL age of sediment.

▼ Perchlorate is an anion composed of four atoms of oxygen and one atom of chlorine (Cl04} It forms naturally and also has been commercially manufactured and used since the late 19th century. Perchlorate contamination is a relatively new environmental issue. The chemical was first recognized as a drinking water contaminant in 1997. Digestion of perchlorate through consumption of food products and beverages is a threat to human health. As a result, the extent of perchlorate contamination, and in tum, its potential impact on the local population, all available perchlorate data for Ventura County and the San Fernando Valley have been compiled. The results of data collection indicate a close correlation between the areas of perchlorate occurrence and industrial zones. Perchlorate concentration levels in soils, waters and crops of the study area are up to 62,000,000 ppb. In the San Fernando Valley and southern Ventura County, where perchlorate has been consistently detected, sources are closely related to industrial and rocket testing activities. Specifically, perchlorate, with concentrations of up to 336 ppb, has been detected in crops raised in Ventura County, groundwater resources of Simi Valley, and soils and waters of the San Fernando Valley superfund site areas. Improper waste disposal activities with no documentation, less stringent environmental regulations in the past, and a lack of historical monitoring XIV for perchlorate in imported water from the Colorado River, make it difficult to estimate the amount and exact sources of perchlorate released to the environment.

▼ This thesis describes a new ion microprobe method for dating the accessory mineral chevkinite using in situ ion microprobe measurement of 238U-230Th disequilibrium. Chevkinite is an accessory mineral found in igneous rocks ranging from kimberlites to peralkaline granites and rhyolites, it also contains high concentrations of U and Th (up to 2 wt%) which makes it a good candidate for the application of U-Th dating. Our study analyzes chevkinite and zircon grains from four La Primavera domes. (See more in text.)

▼ Phylogenetic relationships among the fossil and living "whalebone" (baleen) whales remain poorly understood. Until recently, the extinct family Cetotheriidae, a former grade taxon of edentulous (toothless) whales of the suborder Mysticeti, was thought to be the evolutionary source of the modem-baleen whales, which include the families Balaenopteridae, Balaenidae, Neobalaenidae, and Eschrichtiidae. Following attempts to identify the most valid "cetotheres" to justifiably include in a strict family clade, the taxon is recognized as a derived group with uncertain relationships to modern taxa. The monophyly of the order Cetacea, suborder Mysticeti, and clade comprised of all edentulous baleen-bearing mysticetes is, nevertheless, assumed to be valid. Fossil baleen-bearing mysticetes commonly exhibit a mosaic of primitive and derived characters, hinting at transitional forms that link them to ancestors among more basal-toothed mysticetes. Furthermore, the toothed mysticetes show affinities with the archaeocetes, the third and most primitive suborder of the cetaceans. The evolutionary chronology of the mysticetes is not transparently linear, but branches stepwise, in radiative spurts. Relict groups commonly survived alongside groups with more derived characters. This thesis involved the preparation and description of a fossil cranium belonging to a new species of cetothere assigned to the genus Mixocetus. The specimen is of late Miocene age and is from the Monterey Formation at Orange County, southern California. The fossil whale is here placed in evolutionary context within the family Cetotheriidae sensu stricto (in the strict sense) and suborder Mysticeti.

▼ The Pleistocene Big Pine Volcanic Field (BPVF), located in the Owens Valley of eastern California, is dominated by basaltic cinder cones and lavas, and should the field reactivate poses a potential volcanic hazard to local infrastructure, in particular Highway 395 and the Los Angeles Aqueduct. However, despite numerous petrologic studies, the volcanic history and distribution of products from individual BPVF eruptions are poorly known. Using detailed field mapping and petrology, I have determined the distribution and stratigraphy of basaltic lavas in the southwest portion of the BPVF, which contains the largest number of exposed vents and lava. In the Aberdeen area, individual cinder cones and fissure vents are aligned along N-S trending lineaments, with local clustering of vents and lavas. Approximately 13 cones, and at least 10 lava flows occur in the area. Two cinder cones located near the valley floor are partly buried by younger lavas and alluvium. In most cases, lavas are aa in character and traveled ~7 km down alluvial fans (8% gradient) towards the Owens River. On average, individual lavas cover ca. 10-12 km2, with average individual volumes of 0.065 km3. Two general groups of basaltic lavas characterize the Aberdeen area: 1) xenocryst-rich and 2) xenolith-poor basalts. Xenolithrich basalts contain variable amounts ofultramafic, mafic, granitic, and metamorphic lithologies, whereas xenolith-poor lavas are dominated by olivine phenocrysts. In the xenolith rich lavas, Cr-spinel inclusions occur in olivine phenocrysts. Overlapping flow margins define relative ages between adjacent basalts. In both the North and South portions of the Aberdeen area, flows composing the base of the volcanic stratigraphy are from the xenolith-rich group, and are typically overlain by xenolith-poor flows. These xenolith-poor lavas are ~25% larger in volume than the relatively older xenolith-rich lavas. The relative stratigraphy of the vents and flows in the Aberdeen area is consistent with published isotopic ages for the mapped lava flows.

▼ Carriacou, the largest of the Grenadine Islands, contains abundant ceramic bearing archaeological sites. A total of 73 sherds collected fromlO of these sites was petrographically analyzed in this study to determine their provenance, along with sherds from Petite Martinique (n = 5). Additional geological material, beach sands (n = 30) and outcrop rock samples (n =28) was collected from Carriacou, Petite Martinique, Grenada, and Barbados for comparison. Thin sections inade from the sherd, and geological samples (n = 138) were stained for calcium and potassium feldspar recognition. Selected representative samples (sherds n = 36, sands n = 9, and rocks n = 2) were point-counted using the Gazzi-Dickinson method with maximum counts of 300 grains (temper/sand) per thin section. Matrix, porosity, and cement categories were tallied separately. The percentage of temper in the sherd samples ranges from 16-41 %. Petrographic analysis of the sherd samples reveals at least four temper groups: Igneous (n = 69), Placer (n = 3), Potassic Volcanic (n = 5), and Quartzose (n = 1) based upon composition and texture. Group 1 (Igneous) temper shows a continuum from more feldspathic-rich (QFL%Q = ~80%) to more volcanic lithic-rich (QFL%Q = ~40%) end members. Major components include plagioclase, opaque minerals, pyroxene, and volcanic lithic fragments exhibiting microlitic and lathwork textures. Group 2 (Placer) temper contains many of the same mineralogical components as Group 1 with a much more significant proportion of dense minerals (total grain % dense minerals = ?50%) such as pyroxene, amphibole, and opaque minerals. Group 3 (Potassic Volcanic) temper contains significant proportions of potassium feldspar and potassium-rich volcanic lithic fragments (QmKP%K = ?37%). Minor components include plagioclase and opaque minerals. Group 4 (Quartzose) temper contains dominant monocrystalline quartz (QFL%Q = 88%; QmKP%Qm = 90%) and metamorphic lithic fragments (LmLvLs%Lm = 80%). Minor components include polycrystalline quartz, feldspar, and dense minerals. [More in document]

▼ An apparently continuous, ~950 m-thick stratigraphic section of Early Permian (~280- ~260 Ma) metasediments was measured, described, and sampled southwest of Mormon Flat in the El Paso Mountains of California. Representative samples were thin sectioned and petrographically analyzed for texture and composition. Although metamorphosed up to greenschist grade, sedimentary and primary mineralogical details are still discernible. Above a disconformable contact with underlying Ordovician-Upper Cambrian ( eugeoclinal) deep-marine passive margin rocks, the Permian section begins with a local basal sandy conglomerate (~33 m), followed by metacarbonate turbidites (62 m), then mostly covered noncalcareous metashales and metasiltstones (~393 m). Upsection, the mudstones become more calcareous (~ 152 m); several beds of metaarkose interrupt the upper ~64 m. An abrupt change to slightly tuffaceous metacalcarenite ( ~ 10 m) is followed by tu:ffaceous metasandstones with distinctly zoned plagioclase crystals that dominate the rest of the section (~297 m). Rare interbeds of quartz arenite occur ~ 15 m above the base of the tuffaceous metasandstones and interbeds of bioclastic metalimestone are present near the top below the andesite flows. Overall, exposures of Permian metasedimentary rocks in the measured section consist of 28% argillite and siltstone, 5% non-tuffaceous sandstone, 25% tuffaceous sandstone, 5% conglomerate, 21 % non-tuffaceous limestone, 3% tuffaceous limestone, 3% silicified limestone and partially recrystallized chert, 4% hydrothermally altered rocks, and 6% younger, less altered igneous intrusions of indeterminate age. Sandstone modal analysis suggests that the basin evolved from a tectonic setting involving compressive uplift (fold-thrust belt, collision suture, or subduction complex) or a transform-margin setting to an arc basin setting. The highly tuffaceous nature of the El Paso Mountains volcaniclastic rocks, their phenocryst assemblage (zoned plagioclase and amphibole), and common lathwork textures are most consistent with highly crystalline, intermediate (andesitic) volcanism.

▼ Over 280 oriented core samples from basaltic lava flows (47 sites) and one rhyolite dome (2 sites) were collected for paleomagnetic analysis from flows in the Big Pine Volcanic Field (BPVF) in Owens Valley, California. Samples were subjected to standard laboratory demagnetization procedures and statistical analyses, indicating that the 47 sites within basalt flows record normal polarity and the rhyolite dome records reversed polarity. Site mean Virtual Geomagnetic Pole (VGP) calculations were grouped in two different ways to calculate a paleopole and associated angular dispersion value (S) and an Alpha 95 confidence limit (A95) for the entire BPVF. The first calculation treats all 49 sites as individual flows and the second calculation was obtained by grouping the 49 sites into 12 distinct lava flow units based on field relationships. The paleopoles for the respective data sets are: 75.0???N, 166.9???E and 74.2???N, 150.2???E. The angular dispersion value for the data set with all 49 sites is 15.4??? with A95 = 3.8???. The second set of data yields an S value of 16.4??? and an A95 of 8.2???. The angular dispersion values from both data sets are within the expected range at the site latitude of 37???N (15???-17???), indicating that these data sets adequately sampled lavas that erupted over a long enough period of
time to have recorded geomagnetic secular variation (103 to 105 years). The long eruption history implied by these results suggests that the BPVF is polygenetic, supported by geochronologic ages determined by other workers of 1.2 Ma to 11.8 ka. Individual sampling sites were also grouped and examined on the basis of previous geochronologic studies. Angular dispersion values (S) for four dated flow units are less than the expected range given the site latitude, indicating that they all erupted within a relatively short (<100 years) period of time and are perhaps monogenetic. The angular dispersion value for a fifth dated flow is 15. 9???, which is within the range of expected values given the site latitude, suggesting that this cone erupted episodically over at least 103 to 105 and is polycyclic. These results support the notion that the BPVF is a polygenetic field composed of individual volcanoes that generally experience monogenetic eruptions.

▼ This thesis addresses the dynamics of estuarine networks, based on hydrographic observations in Newark Bay, a sub-estuarine network connected to the Hudson River estuary through New York Harbor. Estuarine networks differ from simple estuaries in that they may have multiple connections to the ocean, multiple freshwater sources, and often contain complex junctions between estuarine segments. The Newark Bay estuarine network is connected to the sea through two tidal straits, and is fed by multiple internal and external sources of fresh water. The estuarine network is also naturally divided into a series of reaches, each of which is characterized by a different cross-sectional geometry. This thesis focuses on the hydrographic variability and varying exchange flow within the Newark Bay estuarine network. Shipboard hydrographic measurements reveal the time-dependent formation
of salinity fronts between reaches of the estuary. Each front is generated by a different mechanism; however, all are generated by tidal flow through channel junctions during ebb tide, and are advected landward during flood tide. Mooring-based measurements confirm that these fronts form during nearly every tidal cycle, and that the fronts are associated with substantial changes in local salinity on tidal timescales. The effect of tidal processes, such as frontal advection, on the exchange flow is investigated by applying the isohaline total exchange flow (TEF) framework to mooring-based observations in multiple reaches of
the estuarine network. This reveals that over half of the exchange flow is driven by tidal processes at all sites within the estuary. Both the TEF-based salt balance and the standard Eulerian salt balance indicate that tidal processes are also responsible for at least half of the landward salt flux at most sites within the estuary; TEF and Eulerian salt balances are nearly identical. Tidal processes within the estuary are in large part associated with fronts. The large influence of tidal processes on the exchange flow in Newark Bay is thus likely due to the prevalence of channel junctions within the estuarine network.

▼ Mean shift is an effective iterative algorithm widely used in image analysis tasks like tracking, image segmentation, smoothing, filtering, edge detection and etc. It iteratively estimates the modes of the probability function of a set of sample data points based in a region. Mean shift was invented in 1975, but it was not widely used until the work by Cheng in 1995. After that, it becomes popular in computer vision. However the convergence, a key character of any iterative algorithm, has been rigorously proved only very recently, but with strong assumptions. In this thesis, the method of mean shift is introduced systematically first and then the convergence is established under more relaxed assumptions. Finally, generalization of the mean shift method is also given for the estimation of probability density function using generalized multivariate smoothing functions to meet the need for more real life applications.

▼ For centuries, indigenous women have been forced to labor in slave-like conditions as domestic workers in Lima, Peru. With neoliberal practices on the rise, Peru’s domestic labor informal economic sector struggles with sociopolitical representation. The downtrodden women of the household work economy exemplify the national perception of desconfianza, or distrust, as it trickles down from the wealthier individuals to those living in poverty. Although the nature of domestic work is a product of hegemonic colonial relations and, recently, violent social movements in the late 20th century, increasing attempts for government transparency and nongovernmental involvement, have created a slowly recovering broken social system. In this thesis, I ascertain that the identity of trabajadoras, or female workers, is primarily driven by their agency as they struggle to become upwardly mobile.

▼ This thesis examines how travelers evaluate and process mass media news stories about local events. Thanks to its colonial architecture, white sand beaches, and indigenous history, the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca receives millions of foreign and domestic visitors each year. Between 2006 and through 2009 Oaxaca has received a great deal of negative international media coverage, including stories of street riots, drug violence, and the fall out of the H1N1 flu virus. The overall impact of these unfavorable reports, and the resulting decline in the local tourism industry, has been predictable and severe. This thesis is based on anthropological research that I conducted in Oaxaca during June and July, 2009. I interviewed 26 American tourists about issues related to mass-media, personal travel experiences, and the interplay between international news coverage of local events and trip destination selection and planning. My research suggests that interviewees generally approach these media stories unfavorably and with a hefty sense of skepticism. Their reactions may reflect a wider trend in American society whereby mainstream and commercial mass media sources are viewed as increasingly untrustworthy or inaccurate

▼ Triacetone triperoxide (TATP), a cyclic peroxide explosive, is frequently used by terrorists and amateur chemists due to the ease of synthesis and the availability of reagents. TATP is extremely sensitive to shock, heat, and friction thus a safe and rapid method for treating TATP is needed. The major objective of this dissertation was to develop in situ methodologies that could safely degrade TATP in various field situations. Initial studies focused on using zero-valent metals and mechanically alloyed metals to decompose TATP samples in both aqueous and organic solutions. The metal systems tested included zero-valent iron, magnesium, and magnesium bimetal, Mg/Pd. The TATP degradation reaction with the different reactive metal systems followed pseudofirst order reaction kinetics with respect to TATP concentration, and the half-lives for TATP degradation with the different reactive metal systems were calculated to test their effectiveness. The major degradation product for the TATP decomposition was determined as acetone, and carbon material balance was calculated to determine each reactive system’s efficiency. The mechanism of TATP degradation using these reactive metal/bimetal particles was also explored, including reaction pathway, intermediates, and activation energies. In addition to investigating the use of zero-valent metals to degrade TATP, studies were also conducted on the use of certain metal and semimetal ionic species. Antimony (III) ions were found to have the greatest effect of TATP concentration. Various spectroscopic analyses were completed to try to characterize the reaction iv between the Sb3+ and TATP. The Sb3+ was theorized to instantaneously cleave the ring structure of the TATP molecule forming a Sb3+ complex thus Sb3+systems could be used to successfully treat TATP. In order to treat TATP in the field, the metal and bimetal reactive particles were combined with an application technology, liquid membrane systems to form emulsified zero-valent metal (EZVM) systems. EZVM systems containing the reactive metal/bimetal particles were made from an organic outer layer (corn oil), water, and a nonionic surfactant (SPAN 80). The EZVM systems were observed to absorb and dissolve the TATP into the emulsion droplets where TATP degradation then occurred. EZVM systems would be ideal for degrading dry TATP residues that might be found on a carpet, door entrance, steel, concrete, plastics, etc. The other neat metal systems could also be used to degrade aqueous slurries of TATP on different surfaces if an efficient delivery system was used. Other studies focused on the use of microscale mechanically alloyed bimetals, particularly Mg/Pd, Fe/Pd, and Fe/Ni, as alternative remediation methods for the catalytic reduction of environmental contaminants: 2, 4, 6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), and 1, 3, 5- trimethylene-2, 4, 6-trinitramine (RDX) which have been found to contaminate soil and ground/surface water near industrial production sites. All the bimetals tested were shown to reduce TNT and RDX contamination in water…

▼ Individuals sensitive to domestic cat allergen Fel d 1 experience a variety of symptoms including eye irritation, respiratory irritation, asthma, and severe respiratory distress. Fel d 1 is a protein produced in the saliva and on the skin of domestic cats. Previous studies have demonstrated that Fel d 1 adheres to clothing, upholstery, and human hair and has been found in non-cat environments in levels high enough to cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. In a general sense, two very different approaches have been adopted to study Fel d 1. One area of the literature focuses on the molecular biology of Fel d 1 and its functions at the cellular level. These studies hold long-term promise for an effective clinical response to this persistent allergen. An entirely separate literature focuses on immediate practical solutions that remove Fel d 1 from the domestic environment. Within this literature there has been minimal emphasis on the possibility that different fabrics may have different affinities for Fel d 1. Therefore, the affinity of Fel d 1 for different fabrics is the focus of this study. The findings from this study will be of use in reducing allergic reactions in sensitive individuals through the choice of appropriate fabrics in clothing and upholstery. Forty domestic household cats were chosen for this study. Each cat was rubbed, in a manner similar to petting, with an assembled fabric square based on a Latin-square design. Each Latin-square design consisted of a 6x6 fabric grid and included the fabrics silk dupioni, wool suiting, cotton denim, cotton damask, polyester suede and polyester knit. The random organization of the fabrics into the grid removed bias for the location of fabrics within the square during Fel d 1 collection. After rubbing, the Latin-square fabric iii block was disassembled and Fel d 1 was extracted from each fabric type and analyzed via quantitative ELISA. The results were statistically analyzed with a univariate ANOVA. Fabrics significantly differ (p

▼ Iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS) algorithms provide an alternative to the more standard 1 l -minimization approach in compressive sensing. Daubechies et al. introduced a particularly stable version of an IRLS algorithm and rigorously proved its convergence in 2010. They did not, however, consider the case in which prior information on the support of the sparse domain of the solution is available. In 2009, Miosso et al. proposed an IRLS algorithm that makes use of this information to further reduce the number of measurements required to recover the solution with specified accuracy. Although Miosso et al. obtained a number of simulation results strongly confirming the utility of their approach, they did not rigorously establish the convergence properties of their algorithm. In this paper, we introduce prior information on the support of the sparse domain of the solution into the algorithm of Daubechies et al. We then provide a rigorous proof of the convergence of the resulting algorithm.

▼ Schmidt and Hunter‟s validity generalization model poses seven sources of error variance affecting validation studies. Of the seven sources of error variance, only four sources have been tested. This study looks at an additional source of error variance, the difference between studies in the amount and kind of criterion contamination and deficiency, as proposed by Schmidt and Hunter. The current study proposes a method of evaluating criterion contamination and deficiency in criterion measures in order to minimize their effects on the relationship between criterion and predictor measures. Two unique criteria are used including a traditional subjective measure of current performance and a non-traditional subjective measure of expandability (future performance). Data from 378 employees from a large international financial institution were used to test the proposed method. Results do not support the hypotheses. Single criteria predicted the same or better than the combined criteria, suggesting that the criterion problem was not addressed. Possible reasons for these findings are discussed. An unexpected finding supports the utility of personality measures compared to cognitive ability measures. The study concludes with a discussion of the implications and limitations of the study as well as directions for future research.

▼ This exploratory research responds to two primary questions: 1) what is marital conflict and, 2) does it transform newlywed relationships? Using three-wave panel data collected with the purpose of studying the participants of the Covenant Marriage Act in Louisiana, it examines the nature and effects of conflict on newlywed couples over the first five years of marriage. While the analysis contained in this dissertation answers the research questions, it also presents more questions than it answers. This research examines six major themes regarding 1)the nature of marital conflict among these couples, 2) what couples disagree about, 3) how do couples behave when conflict is present, including managing thoughts of divorce, 4) how does conflict change over time, 5) how does conflict experienced in the family of origin manifest in current marriages, and 6) what effect does religiosity have on conflict? Findings support the conventional wisdom in marriage that conflict increases over time, and marital quality decreases over time. In addition, findings show that by wave three sex is the number one topic of disagreement, and that it had the largest increase over time.

▼ Small anthropomorphic figures, most often referred to as “Charlie Chaplins,” appear in ritual deposits throughout the ancient Maya sites of Belize during the late Preclassic and Early Classic Periods and later, throughout the Petén region of Guatemala. Often these figures appear within similar cache assemblages and are carved from “exotic” materials such as shell or jade. This thesis examines the contexts in which these figures appear and considers the wider implications for commonly held ritual practices throughout the Maya lowlands during the Classic Period and the similarities between “Charlie Chaplin” figures and anthropomorphic figures found in ritual contexts outside of the Maya area.
