▼ For infants, acquiring vocabulary for nouns is a dynamic, complex process that involves pairing an auditory token with a visual referent. This process is computationally complex because the acoustic information produced for a verbal production of any given noun varies considerably due to factors including the person who is speaking, speaking rate, and linguistic context. Likewise, visual referents are also variable in characteristics such as size, shape, material, and color. Research suggests that variability in either the auditory or visual domains can facilitate early word learning. However, the role of simultaneous variability in these domains on noun learning remains unexplored. Using a 9-week training study, we examined the effects of auditory and visual variability on word learning and generalization in 12 children ages 16- to 23-months in order to collect pilot data for a larger-scale investigation. All children were taught 12 nouns and were randomly assigned to one of four training conditions: low visual and low auditory variability, low visual and high auditory variability, high visual and low auditory variability, or high visual and high auditory variability. High versus low auditory variability was manipulated by presenting ten talkers versus one talker, respectively. High versus low visual variability was manipulated by presenting variable, dissimilar exemplars versus highly similar exemplars, respectively. The results to date suggest that high levels of variability in the visual domain facilitated learning of trained items but did not influence the ability to generalize that category to novel visual exemplars. Moreover, overall vocabulary development appeared to be facilitated by high variability in the auditory domain. These findings provide promising pilot data for understanding how visual and auditory variability influence word learning not only in the laboratory, but also in the real-world linguistic environment.

Ekologija - Marinska ekologija / Ecology -Marine ecology Datum odbrane: 03.06.2013.

Istraživanje zooplanktona obuhvatilo je analizu kvalitativnog i kvantitativnog sastava kao i određivanje vremenske i prostorne distribucije zooplanktona, pojedinih grupa i njihovih vrsta na području Bokokotorskog zaliva. Istraživanje je obavljeno na tri lokaliteta u Kotorskom, dva u Tivatskom i jednom lokalitetu u Hercegnovskom zalivu. Uzorci su sakupljeni planktonskom mrežom promjera okaca 125μm, jednim potezom od dna do površine. Uzorkovanje je vršeno sedmično, 15-dnevno i mjesečno, sa ciljem da se objasni velika brzina promjene brojnosti i distribucije zooplanktona u plitkim oblastima. Tokom 16-mjesečnog istraživanja mezozooplanktona Bokokotorskog zaliva određen je 81 takson iz ukupno 7 filuma. U Kotorskom zalivu je nađeno 69 taksona, u Tivatskom 70, dok su u Hercegnovskom zalivu zabilježena 72 taksona. Godišnja dinamika ukupne gustine na sva tri područja (Kotorski, Tivatski i Hercegnovski zaliv) pokazala je povećanje u toplijem dijelu godine. Uzrok visokih vrijednosti u ljetnjim mjesecima na području Kotorskog zaliva bila je pojava protozoe Noctiluca scintillans sa velikim gustinama populacije, kao i razvoj kladocera. Razvoj kladocera bio je i razlog ljetnjeg maksimuma u Tivatskom i Hercegnovskom zalivu, dok se zimski maksimum u Hercegnovskom zalivu javio kao posljedica velike gustine populacija kopepoda. Dominantna grupa zooplanktona bile su kopepode. Srednja procentualna zastupljenost iznosila je 67% u Kotorskom, 73% u Tivatskom i 81% u Hercegnovskom zalivu. Takosoni Oncaeidae i Oithona nana su dominirali u sastavu kopepoda na svim lokalitetima u istraživanom periodu. Maksimalnim gustinama kopepoda prethodile su visoke vrijednosti gustine fitoplanktona. Pojava velike gustine populacije ktenofore Bolinopsis vitrea u Kotorskom zalivu, predstavlja prvi takav nalaz u južnom Jadranu, kao i prvu masovnu pojavu ove vrste u Mediteranu. Visoka negativna korelacija između B. vitrea i kopepoda potvrđuje činjenicu da su ktenofore vrlo bitni predatori čija aktivnost za posljedicu može imati značajan uticaj na zooplanktonske zajednice. VII Rezultati ovog istraživanja su pokazali da je u obalnim područjima korišćenje planktonske mreže promjera okaca 125 μm neophodno za dobijanje preciznijih vrijednosti ukupnog zooplanktona, jer najveći udio predstavljaju rani razvojni stadijumi malih kalanoida i ciklopoida koji prolaze kroz mreže grubljeg tkanja. Velike varijacije vrijednosti u svim sezonama, posebno kopepoda, sugerišu da je za bolje razumijevanje procesa u ovako produktivnim sistemima potrebno uzimati uzorke češće od jednom mjesečno. Istraživanja ukazuju i na to da brze promjene hidrografskih i produkcijskih parametara u zatvorenom i eutrofnom Bokokotorskom zalivu značajno utiču na gustine populacija zooplanktona.

▼ Information on genetic variability and stability of yield and yield components of sunflower in Zambia is lacking. The study was undertaken to determine the magnitude of yield; determine the relationships between yield and it's components; and estimate the heritability and stability of important traits in sunflower. Twenty five genotypes representing a random sample of the breeding populations in an on going sunflower improvement programme were grown in a 5 X 5 triple lattice design in 5 locations in the 1993/94 growing season. Data on kernel yield, kernel yield/head, oil content, oil yield, head diameter, stem diameter, plant population, plant height, average number of leaves/plant, number of days to 50% flowering, 1000 kernel weight and kernel % were collected and/or derived. The magnitude of yield was determined at harvesting. The relationship between yield and it's components was determined by path coefficient analysis. Presence of genetic variability was indicated by significant genetic variance. Heritability was estimated from variance components. Stability analysis was also done. The magnitude of kernel yield was found to be comparable with world averages though the average kernel yield of 1163 Kg/ha was below the country range of 1500 to 2000 Kg/ha) due to poor rains. High correlations between kernel yield and plant height (r = 0.420**), stem diameter (r = 0.589**) and kernel yield/head (r = 0.658**) were observed but their direct effects on kernel yield were very small (-0.216, -0.154 and -0.189 respectively). However, their indirect effects were more positive mostly through head diameter (0.127, 0.174 and 0.141 respectively). Head diameter showed large direct effects on both kernel yield (0.311) and oil content (0.581). The direct effect of 1000 kernel weight on oil yield (0.173) was large relative to overall correlation (r = 0.195**). The genetic variances for kernel yield, oil content, oil yield, head diameter, plant height, kernel yield/head and 1000 kernel weight were significant (P < 0.05). The broad sense heritability estimates for kernel yield ranged from 5.42% in Golden Valley to 33.01% in Monze; overall the estimate was 7.12%. For oil content the estimates ranged from 14.95%) in Mt Makulu to 52.35% in Monze with an overall estimate of 11.43%i. Similarly those of oil yield, plant height, stem diameter and 1000 kernel weight ranged from 8.36% in Golden Valley, 9.36% in Monze, 5.77% in Mt Makulu and 5.54% in Mt Makulu respectively to 26.78%) in Monze, 61.96%) in MRS, 27.27%o in Mt Makulu and 37.66%) in Monze respectively with the overall estimate being 20.37%, 10.20%), 0.23%), and 2.51% respectively. For head diameter the estimate was 17.33%) in Mt Makulu and 2.97% overall. Genotype X location interaction effects were significant for kernel yield, oil yield, 1000 kernel weight, stem diameter and plant height. Sunflower with respect to kernel and oil yield showed average ability to be consistent across locations. Overall the magnitude of yield was found to fall within an acceptable range with genetic…

▼ My Ph.D. research develops a tiered systematic framework for designing process-independent and variability-tolerant integrated circuits. This bottom-up approach starts from designing self-compensated circuits as accurate building blocks, and moves up to sub-systems with negative feedback loop and full system-level calibration. a. Design methodology for self-compensated circuits My collaborators and I proposed a novel design methodology that offers designers intuitive insights to create new topologies that are self-compensated and intrinsically process-independent without external reference. It is the first systematic approaches to create "correct-by-design" low variation circuits, and can scale beyond sub-micron CMOS nodes and extend to emerging non-silicon nano-devices. We demonstrated this methodology with an addition-based current source in both 180nm and 90nm CMOS that has 2.5x improved process variation and 6.7x improved temperature sensitivity, and a GHz ring oscillator (RO) in 90nm CMOS with 65% reduction in frequency variation and 85ppm/oC temperature sensitivity. Compared to previous designs, our RO exhibits the lowest temperature sensitivity and process variation, while consuming the least amount of power in the GHz range. Another self-compensated low noise amplifiers (LNA) we designed also exhibits 3.5x improvement in both process and temperature variation and enhanced supply voltage regulation. As part of the efforts to improve the accuracy of the building blocks, I also demonstrated experimentally that due to "diversification effect", the upper bound of circuit accuracy can be better than the minimum tolerance of on-chip devices (MOSFET, R, C, and L), which allows circuit designers to achieve better accuracy with less chip area and power consumption. b. Negative feedback loop based sub-system I explored the feasibility of using high-accuracy DC blocks as low-variation "rulers-on-chip" to regulate high-speed high-variation blocks (e.g. GHz oscillators). In this way, the trade-off between speed (which can be translated to power) and variation can be effectively de-coupled. I demonstrated this proposed structure in an integrated GHz ring oscillators that achieve 2.6% frequency accuracy and 5x improved temperature sensitivity in 90nm CMOS. c. Power-efficient system-level calibration To enable full system-level calibration and further reduce power consumption in active feedback loops, I implemented a successive-approximation-based calibration scheme in a tunable GHz VCO for low power impulse radio in 65nm CMOS. Events such as power-up and temperature drifts are monitored by the circuits and used to trigger the need-based frequency calibration. With my proposed scheme and circuitry, the calibration can be performed under 135pJ and the oscillator can operate between 0.8 and 2GHz at merely 40[MICRO SIGN]W, which is ideal for extremely power-and-cost constraint applications such as implantable biomedical device and wireless sensor networks.

▼ Nowadays stress has become a regular part of life. Stress is difficult to measure because there has been no definition of stress that everyone accepts. Furthermore, if we do not get a handle on our stress and it becomes long term, it can seriously interfere with our health. Therefore, finding the method for stress detection could be beneficial for taking control of stress. Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the measurement of the electrical activity of the heart and represents an established standard in determining the health condition of the heart. The PQRST1[55] complex of ECG conveys information about each cardiac-cycle, where the R-peak is placed in the middle of the PQRST complex and represents the maximum value of the PQRST. Since the PQRST depicts the entire cardio-cycle, the R–peak determines half of the cardio-cycle. The distance between two adjacent R-peaks is defined as a heart rate (HR). The variation of the HR in the specific time frame, defined as heart rate variability (HRV), can reflect the state of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The ANS has two main divisions, the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). The SNS occurs in response to stress while the PNS results from the function of internal organs. The activity of ANS can cause an acceleration (SNS) or deceleration (PNS) of the HR. The SNS activity is associated with the low-frequency range while, the PNS activity is associated with the high frequency component of the HRV. Therefore, the power ratio of the low and high-frequency components of the spectrum of HRV can potentially show whether the subject is exposed to stress or not [48] [50]. In this research, we introduced three new indices, with one of them proposed as a proxy to provide equivalent results in the detection of stress or no-stress states while avoiding complex measurement devices as well as complex calculations. The goal was to find a more time efficient method for fast stress detection which could potentially be used in the applications that run on devices such as a wearable smartwatch in tandem with a smartphone or tablet. The experiment was established to measure the literature proposed index for stress measurement [48][50] as well as our introduced indices. In the experiment, we induced stress to the participants by using mental arithmetic as a stressor [51][53]. Theexperiment contained two kinds of trials. In the first one, the participant was exposed to different amounts of cognitive load induced by doing mental-arithmetic while, in the second one, the participant was placed in a relaxed environment. Each participant in the experiment gave feedback in which period of the experiment he/she felt stress. During the entire experiment, we recorded theparticipant‘s ECG. The ECG was used to calculate HRV which consequently was used for the calculation of the values of the index as proposed from the literature for calculating the level of the stress. The same data was used for the calculation of our introduced indices. The values of our proposed…

▼ Many lithic analyses in recent decades have focused on the influence of lithic production techniques and artifact stages in the discard form of stone tools. Assemblage composition has also been seen to reflect production and reduction activities at landscape scales. This approach has not yet been applied to the archaeological record of the north, however, despite its usefulness in analyzing small-scale sites dominated by lithic materials. Middle Holocene artifact assemblages in Alaska have frequently been characterized by the presence or absence of notched projectile points and microblade technology and assigned to one of two major categories with differences interpreted in terms of culture history. Sites with notched projectile points but no microblades are thought to belong to the Northern Archaic (based on these levels at the Onion Portage site (Anderson 1968a, b)), while sites with notched projectile points and microblades are considered "Tuktu-like" (after the Tuktu-Naiyuk site at Anaktuvuk Pass (Campbell 1959)), with little consideration of the site function or reduction activities. Here, a synthesis of over 200 middle Holocene sites from across Alaska and Yukon is used to show that there is more variability in age, distribution, artifact morphology, and assemblage composition than can be explained within existing culture-historical frameworks. Detailed cluster analyses, spatial analyses, and lithic analyses are also used to interpret the lithic production sequences represented by ten relevant near-surface archaeological sites from the central and western Brooks Range of northern Alaska. These data suggest that the archaeological record for the middle Holocene in northern Alaska is strongly conditioned by production and maintenance of a variety of tool types as well as the timing of the addition of raw materials into the toolkit.

▼ The current investigation examined intraindividual variability and predictors of this variability on neuropsychological measures. A total of 50 (39 women and 11 men) independently living, community-dwelling African Americans ranging in age from 50 to 80 years (M = 65.40, SD = 8.53) were asked to complete measures assessing socio-demographics, physical health (i.e. blood pressure and sleep), and cognitive functioning (i.e. executive function, memory, perceptual speed, constructions, and language) over 8 occasions within a 2-3 week period. The current study observed intraindividual variability across the neuropsychological measures. Results from multilevel modeling suggested that a within-person change in systolic blood pressure was positively associated with performance on executive function (e.g., Letter Fluency), particularly for those participants who on average had high systolic blood pressure and high stress. In contrast, a within-person change in sleep duration was associated with worse performance on constructions and executive functioning (e.g., Letter Fluency). Results also reflected a significant interaction between within-person change in sleep duration and average sleep duration for both perceptual speed (e.g., Number Comparison test) and executive function (e.g., Stroop task). Individuals with low sleep duration on average tended to perform poorly, particularly on those occasions when their sleep duration was below their personal average. In contrast, individuals with high sleep duration on average tended to perform poorly, particularly on those occasions when their sleep duration was above their personal average. Furthermore, daily fluctuations in sleep duration were associated with an increased risk for classification of mild cognitive impairment. The results suggest that variability on neuropsychological measures may be a useful clinical assessment of older African AmericansÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ cognitive competency.

▼ Climate extremes associated with climate variability and change are on the rise both in time and space. These extremes have far reaching impacts on socio-economic sectors particularly for countries like Uganda that rely heavily on rain-fed agriculture. The highland cooking banana (Musa genome group AAA-EA) is a major food crop in Uganda. Its continuous cycles of harvests makes it an important crop for enhancing food security and farmers' incomes. Studies have, however, observed continuous decline in banana productivity due to biological and environmental factors including climate extremes. This study is aimed at investigating the extent of climate variability and climate change and their associated effects on banana production over Uganda. The study used historical observed climate data (1931 to 2013), banana yields (1971 to 2009) and model simulated climate data (1991 to 2100). Climate data analysed consisted mainly of rainfall and temperature. The Providing Regional Climates for Impacts Studies (PRECIS) Regional Climate Model (RCM) was used to simulate high resolution climate projections based on the Special Report on Emission Scenarios (SRES) A1B and A2 scenarios. The study also analysed climate projection data based on the full range of the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) as policy scenarios. In order to detect climate variability and change signals, the observed seasonal climate data were subjected to empirical analyses. This involved determination of the first upto fourth moments. The shift in the first moment constituted the trend whose significance was evaluated using the Mann-Kendall test. The moments of both standardized climate data and banana yields were determined and used to identify linkages between current climate variability and banana yields. The Crop Water Assessment Tool (CROPWAT) was used to determine banana water requirements, moisture deficits and yield reductions for the current period. The Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient, Refined Wilmott Index and Root Mean Square Errors (RMSE) were used to assess climatemodel performance. Empirical Orthogonal Functions (EOFs) were used to characterize modes of climate variability in both observed and model seasonal rainfall. Comparative graphical analysis based on geo-spatial mapping techniques was used to analyse and map climate variability and change patterns from the high resolution future climate projection information for rainfall, temperature and soil moisture content based on different scenarios. The response of banana growth to expected changes in temperature under vi A1B and A2 scenarios was assessed using a banana-temperature growth regression model. The FAO Eco-crop tool was used to estimate suitable climate conditions for optimal banana growth. The mapping of future suitability of banana during the period (2041-2080) was undertaken using ARCGIS. The results showed that inter annual seasonal rainfall and temperature trends varied…

▼ Climate variability and change is increasingly being recognized as a critical challenge to pastoral production systems in the arid and semi-arid rangelands. The projected climate scenarios are expected to aggravate some of the existing vulnerability of natural resource-dependent communities, and likely to impose new risks beyond the range of current experiences. An explicit understanding of households‟ vulnerability to climate variability and adaptation strategies is, therefore, crucial for targeting appropriate resilience interventions in pastoral environments. This study focused on better understanding of climate variability and change, in order to provide insights on pastoralists‟ risk management adaptations at a micro-level. In addition, the study investigated vegetation responses to precipitation anomalies in Turkana County of Kenya. The research study used Mann-Kendall test statistics to investigate long-term rainfall (19502012) and temperature (1978-2012) changes. Household questionnaire survey, focus group discussion and key informants‟ interviews were used to collect primary data at household and community levels. A total of 302 households were sampled using multi-stage sampling technique, and information obtained analyzed using descriptive statistics and ordinal logistic regression model. In addition, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data derived from Advance Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) satellite were overlaid with precipitation to generate vegetation maps. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyse vegetation species richness and abundance in the study area. The result revealed high inter-annual (coefficient of variation > 90%) rainfall variability, with seasonal uncertainty. There were more years with below normal rainfall than those with mean rainfall above long-term mean (LTM). Results indicate that extreme drought events have increased over the last 63 years, with 28.5% occurrences between 1950 and 1970, to 47.9% over the last two decades between 1990 and 2012. Further, the study revealed that the area is warming at 0.13°C, with a significant (p<0.05) rise in both minimum (0.2°C), maximum (0.1°C) temperature for the period 1979 - 2012. Pastoralists‟ perception of changes in climate climate variability and change are being felt by many households in Turkana. The vulnerability index analysis showed that majority of households were moderately (44%) to highly (27%) vulnerable to climate-induced stresses. Factor estimates of the probit model further revealed that the main determinants of pastoralists‟ vulnerability were sex of household head, number of dependents, marital status, social linkages, access to extension services and early warning information, herd structure and mobility, distance to markets, and access to affordable credit. The results highlight the need for interventions to empower women in the access to education, affordable credits, livelihood diversification opportunities, and to resources that can strengthen households‟…

▼ Subantarctic New Zealand is an oceanographycally dynamic region with the Subtropical Front (STF) to the north and the Subantarctic Front (SAF) to the south. This thesis investigates the ocean structure of the Campbell Plateau and the surrounding New Zealand subantarctic, including the spatial, seasonal, interannual and longer term variability over the ocean properties, and their connection to atmospheric variability using a combination of in-situ oceanographic measurements and remote sensing data. The spatial and seasonal oceanographic structure in the New Zealand subantarctic region was investigated by analysing ten high resolution Conductivity Temperature and Depth (CTD) datasets, sampled during oceanographic cruises from May 1998 to February 2013. Position of fronts, water mass structure and changes over the seasons show a complex structure around the Campbell Plateau combining the influence of subtropical and subantarctic waters. The spatial and interannual variability on the Campbell Plateau was described by analysing approximately 70 low resolution CTD profiles collected each year in December between 2002 and 2009. Conservative temperature and absolute salinity profiles reveal high variability in the upper 200m of the water column and a homogeneous water column from 200 to 600m depth. Temperature variability of about 0.7 °C, on occasions between consecutive years, is observed down to 900m depth. The presence of Subantarctic Mode Water (SAMW) on the Campbell Plateau is confirmed and Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) reported for the first time in the deeper regions around the edges of the plateau. Long-term trends and variability over the Campbell Plateau were investigated by analysing satellite derived Sea Level Anomalies (SLA) and Sea Surface Temperature (SST) time series. Links to large scale atmospheric processes are also explored through correlation with the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) and Southern Annular Mode (SAM). SST shows a strong seasonality and interannual variability which is linked to local winds, but no significant trend is found. The SLA over the Campbell Plateau has increased at a rate of 5.2 cm decade⁻¹ in the last two decades. The strong positive trend in SLA appears to be a combination of the response of the ocean to wind stress curl (Ekman pumping), thermal expansion and ocean mass redistribution via advection amongst others. These results suggest that the variability on the Campbell Plateau is influenced by the interaction of the STF and the SAF. The STF influence reaches the limit of the SAF over the western Campbell Plateau and the SAF influence extends all around the plateau. Results also suggest different connections between the plateau with the surrounding oceans, e.g., along the northern edge with the Bounty Trough and via the southwest edge with the SAF. A significant correlation with SOI and little correlation with SAM suggest a stronger response to tropically driven processes in the long-term variability on the Campbell Plateau. The results of this thesis provide a new… Advisors/Committee Members: Carter, Lionel, Williams, Michael, Bowen, Melissa.

▼ Romantic couples must regularly navigate interactions to maintain satisfying relationships, but it is unclear how people’s variability in communication behaviour is linked to relationship wellbeing. Varying communication behaviours may display responsiveness to a partner’s needs by adjusting behaviour appropriately. Or else, inconsistent behaviour may undermine partner trust by fuelling uncertainties about commitment. Across two studies, we investigated how a person’s variability of communication behaviour was associated with their own wellbeing and their partner’s wellbeing. Specifically, we assessed spin, a measure of how often a person switches between communication behaviours. We predicted that switching between positive behaviours would be linked with higher relationship wellbeing but, conversely, switching between negative communication behaviours would be linked with lower wellbeing. We assessed spin in positive and negative forms of relationship behaviour over three weeks (Study 1; 78 couples) and over a single interaction (Study 2; 112 couples). Effects for spin in positivity emerged only in Study 1. For women, switching daily positive behaviour over three weeks was associated with higher partner relationship wellbeing but unexpectedly lower wellbeing for women (controlling for mean-level positivity). This suggests that, for women, being responsive to partners in diverse ways is beneficial for the partner but comes at a personal cost. Effects for spin in negativity emerged in both studies. Switching negative behaviour was linked with lower partner wellbeing in both studies, indicating that use of different negative behaviours is more dysfunctional than the sum of individual relationship behaviours. Across both studies, additional tests illustrated that these effects were independent and not due to variability in the magnitude of behaviours. Our findings show variable behaviour may benefit partner wellbeing when behaviour is positive, but inconsistent negativity interrupts intimacy processes to undermine wellbeing. Our research highlights the importance of considering behavioural variability when studying relationship maintenance processes over time. Advisors/Committee Members: Hammond, Matthew.

▼ Fifty percent of drives have been found to frequently violate speed limits (OECD/ECMT, 2006), and speed limit compliance appears to depend on the perceived credibility of a road’s speed limit (Goldenbeld & van Schagen, 2007). Credibility of speed limits, in turn, appears to be determined by the match between drivers’ speed preferences and the design of the road (Goldenbeld & van Schagen, 2007). Yet, a challenge has been that not all drivers’ prefer the same speeds, and individual differences with regards to speed preference lead to speed variability and speed conflicts in traffic (Elvik, 2010). The aim of this thesis was to explore whether the speed drivers like to drive when motivated by different driving goals (speed preference) correspond to the speeds that they actually drive on those same roads (speed choice). Additionally, this thesis sought to explore the relationship between speed preference and risk perception. Data was collected in two ways, from a speed gun and from a questionnaire. The speed gun collected on-road measures of driving speeds on seven different roads, while the questionnaire collected measures of drivers’ self-reported speed, speed preference and risk perception. For the speed preference measures, participants were asked what speed they would choose on a given road when: 1) motivated by safety, 2) considering fuel savings, or 3) motivated by fun, and additionally 4) what speed they usually drove on the road. In total 200 drivers were interviewed at five different parking lots, and they referred to the seven roads that were sampled with the speed gun. The results indicated that speed preference helped to explain actual driving speeds. More specifically, drivers’ different driving goals and their large individual differences with regards to speed preference corresponded to different speed choices. No relationship was found, however, between drivers’ speed preferences and their risk perceptions. The results are discussed with regards to implications for the problem of speed variability in traffic. Advisors/Committee Members: Charlton, Samuel G (advisor), Starkey, Nicola J (advisor).

Background: Changes in temperature, rainfall and relative humidity due to climate change are expected to directly influence malaria transmission dynamics, by modifying the behavior and geographical distribution of malaria vectors while shortening the sporogonic cycle of the parasite in the vector. These changes will have varying effects on malaria incidence in different eco-epidemiological settings. The aim was to examine the impact of climate variability on malaria incidence in three micro-epidemiological ecosystems in the forest zone of Ghana, Ashanti Region. Methods: Data on climatic variables (rainfall, temperature and humidity) from January 2008 to- October 2009 were obtained from the two weather stations. Hospital based confirmed malaria incidence data were obtained for the same period from Akropong (rural) hospital whereas malaria incidence data were obtained from January 2008-June 2009 and January 2008-August 2009 for Emena (peri-urban) and Atonsu (urban) hospitals respectively. Microscopy was used to identify the predominant Plasmodium species. Spearman’s correla-tion analysis and cross correlation analysis that allowed a time-lag of 0-3 month were performed to examine the role of climatic variables on malaria incidence. Results: There was a direct correlation between monthly malaria incidence and monthly climatic variables at different time-lags and location. At every study site, different climatic variables were seen to play different roles on the occurrence of malaria. At Akropong and Emena, the study indicates that rainfall and minimum temperature are the major drivers of malaria incidence though this relationship was significant at different time-lags in different eco-epidemiological settings. At Atonsu, the study indicates that rainfall and maximum tem-perature are the major contributors to malaria incidence. Conclusion: Climatic variables have direct and indirect influence on malaria incidence and these variables can predict malaria inci-dence and be suited for forecasting the malaria occurrence in areas with similar ecological features in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.

▼ Generating new information using traditional agricultural trials which are expensive is not sufficient to meeting novel agro-technologies. Planting date (PD), low soil fertility and climate change influences maize (Zea mays L.) growth and yield. Local-scale impacts of future climate change (CC) and variability (CV) on PD, N fertilizer rate (N), cultivar, maize growth, and yield is not well documented in Zambia. The impact of climate change and extreme climate indices on maize yield in AERII are carried out at large spatial scales, missing out on local-scale impacts, mitigation and adaptation potentials under which farmers operate. Statistical downscaling models such as stochastic weather generator (Long Ashton Research Station Weather Generator [LARS-WG]) and delta-based methods (Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP) protocols) have not been applied locally to assess the impact of climate change. Additionally, the AgMIP protocols have not been applied to downscale climate scenarios using Representative Concentration Paths (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). Changes in temperature and precipitation would have a significant impact on maize phenology and yield. Two field experiments were conducted at Zambia Agriculture Research Institute at Mount Makulu (Lat: 15.550o S, Lon: 28.250o E, altitude: 1213 m) in Zambia to assess the effect of PD, N and cultivars on yield and yield parameters and to predict the impact of climate change on maize productivity in the 2050s. The irrigated experiment was arranged in a Split-plot design with maize cultivars (ZMS606, PHB30G19and PHB30B50) and N fertilizer rates (67.20, 134.40 and 201.60 kg N ha-1) as main-plots and sub-plots, respectively. These cultivars were selected as major cultivars planted by small scale farmers and their long commercial life. The rainfed experiment was a split-split plot design with PDs, cultivars, and N as the main-plots, sub-plot, and sub-subplots, respectively. Each field experiment had three replicates. Daily weather data were obtained from the Zambia Meteorological Department and AgMERRA. Plant growth, grain, and biomass yield were observed at phenological stages. The ANOVA for grain yield and yield parameters were computed using the sp.plot and ssp.plot functions in Agricolae R package. Significant differences between means were tested using Fisher-LSD Test (p<0.05). Site weather data, soil data, cultivar characteristic, and management required by the crop models were also collected. The rainfed (2016/2017) and irrigated (2016) field experimental data were used for calibrating and validating the crop simulation models (CSMs), respectively. Expert Team on Sector Specific Indices (ET-SCI) of extreme temperature and precipitation were computed after checking weather data (1963-2012) for quality, homogeneity, and trends using ClimPACT2. The APSIM-Maize v7.9 and CERES-Maize v4.7 models were calibrated using rainfed experimental site data. Days after planting (DAP) to anthesis, and maturity, grain and biomass yield, LAI and soil water content…

▼ Dissolved oxygen is a widely observed chemical quantity in the oceans along with temperature and salinity. Changes in the dissolved oxygen have been observed over the world oceans. Observed oxygen in the Ocean Station Papa (OSP, 50°N, 145°W) in the Gulf of Alaska exhibits strong variability over interannual and decadal timescales, however, the mechanisms driving the observed variability are not yet fully understood. Furthermore, irregular sampling frequency and relatively short record length make it difficult to detect a low-frequency variability. Motivated by these observations, we investigate the mechanisms driving the low-frequency variability of oxygen in the subpolar North Pacific. The specific purposes of this study are 1) to evaluate the robustness of the observed low-frequency variability of dissolved oxygen and 2) to determine the mechanisms driving the observed variability using statistical data analysis and numerical simulations. To evaluate the robustness of the low-frequency variability, we conducted spectral analyses on the observed oxygen at OSP. To address the irregular sampling frequency we randomly sub-sampled the raw data to form 500 ensemble members with a regular time interval, and then performed spectral analyses. The resulting power spectrum of oxygen exhibits a robust low-frequency variability and a statistically significant spectral peak is identified at a timescale of 15-20 years. The wintertime oceanic barotropic streamfunction is significantly correlated with the observed oxygen anomaly at OSP with a north-south dipole structure over the North Pacific. We hypothesize that the observed low-frequency variability is primarily driven by the variability of large-scale ocean circulation in the North Pacific. To test this hypothesis, we simulate the three-dimensional distribution of oxygen anomaly between 1952 to 2001 using data-constrained circulation fields. The simulated oxygen anomaly shows an outstanding variability in the Gulf of Alaska, showing that this region is a hotspot of oxygen fluctuation. Anomalous advection acting on the climatological mean oxygen gradient is the source of oxygen variability in this simulation. Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analyses of the simulated oxygen show that the two dominant modes of the oxygen anomaly explains more than 50% of oxygen variance over the North Pacific, that are closely related to the dominant modes of climate variability in the North Pacific (Pacific Decadal Oscillation and North Pacific Oscillation). Our results imply the important link between large-scale climate fluctuations, ocean circulation and biogeochemical tracers in the North Pacific.
