Mathematical Analysis of Tsunami and Rogue Waves
(East Carolina University, 2012)
In this thesis both forced and non-linear wave equations will be studied. Actual data from tsunami and rogue waves will be used and a signal analysis will be performed using wavelets. Main results show that a different ...
ESTIMATION OF THE PROBABILITY A BROWNIAN BRIDGE CROSSES A CONCAVE BOUNDARY
(East Carolina University, 2010)
This thesis studies a new method to estimate the probability that a Brownian bridge crosses a concave boundary. We show that a Brownian bridge crosses a concave boundary if and only if its least concave majorant crosses ...
The Central Places of Albemarle Sound : Examining Transitional Maritime Economies Through Archaeological Site Distribution
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Historical evidence shows that the Albemarle Sound region has a long history of maritime trade. As technologies improved, early settlers moved beyond simple subsistence farming to expand extensive maritime trade networks ...
Effects of Land Use Change on Juvenile Fishes, Blue Crab, and Brown Shrimp Abundance in the Estuarine Nursery Habitats of North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2011)
The U.S. coastal region is home to more than half of the American population. Also, the coastal counties' population is growing much faster than that of inland counties. With a high density and an increasing population, ...
Fourier Analysis on SU(2)
(East Carolina University, 2012)
The set SU(2) of 2x2 unitary matrices with determinant one forms a compact non-abelian Lie group diffeomorphic to the three dimensional sphere. This thesis surveys general theory concerning analysis on compact Lie groups ...
The Influence of Aquaculture on Foraminifera and Sediment Properties in the Setiu Estuary and Lagoon of Terengganu, Malaysia
(East Carolina University, 2013)
In order to address how aquaculture has influenced the Setiu estuary and lagoon of northeast peninsular Malaysia, foraminifera, sediment grain-size, and carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios and abundances were analyzed in ...
Progressive Politics, the McMillan Plan, and the Expression of an American Identity
(East Carolina University, 2012)
The knowledge that Washington was a city for all Americans and a representative of the ideals and values of this country drove the members of the Senate Park Commission to make Washington the most beautiful, the most ...
The bhuTUV and bhuO genes play vital roles in the ability of Brucella abortus to use heme as an iron source and are regulated in an iron-responsive manner by RirA and Irr
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Brucella abortus is a Gram negative intracellular pathogen that causes the zoonotic disease brucellosis. Antibiotic treatment for brucellosis in humans is prolonged and sometimes followed by relapses. Currently, the United ...
Predicting Responses to Flash Flooding : A Case Study of Boulder, Colorado
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Flash floods are among the deadliest weather phenomena in the world. Unfortunately, people continue to move to risky areas, resulting in high losses due to flash floods. Because of the short lead times associated with these ...
