(2021-05)The Florida Public Hurricane Loss Model (FPHLM) and the Florida Public Flood Loss Model (FPFLM) project insurance losses due to hurricane events in the State of Florida from hurricane induced wind, rain, and flood. This ... -
ANALYSIS OF A FUNCTIONAL HETEROLOGOUS CHROMOSOMAL REPLICATION ORIGIN TRANSPLANT IN E. coli
(2018-04)To ensure that all cells replicate their genomes faithfully before they divide, the initiation step of chromosome replication must be tightly regulated during the cell cycle. In bacteria, new rounds of replication are ... -
Analysis of Angular Momentum in Planetary Systems and Host Stars
(2015-07)The spin angular momentum of single Main Sequence stars has long been shown to follow a primary power law of stellar mass, J ∝ Mα, excluding stars of <2 solar masses. Lower mass stars rotate more slowly with and have ... -
An Analysis of Capital Cost Estimation Techniques for Chemical Processing
(2016-05)This research serves to compare the use of the capital cost estimation software, Aspen Capital Cost Estimator (ACCE), with other capital cost estimating methods specifically the module costing technique outlined by Richard ... -
Analysis of Fatty Acids in Chukchi Sea Sediments
(2020-05)The Arctic Ocean and its marginal seas are key areas for understanding the global climate system. Climate change causes increased terrigenous materials to be carried into the ocean as well as higher production of marine ... -
Analysis of Interfaces for the Nonlinear Degenerate Second Order Parabolic Equations Modeling Diffusion-Convection Processes
(2019-12)Dissertation pursues analysis of the short-time evolution of interfaces or free boundaries for the non-negative solutions of the nonlinear degenerate second order parabolic partial differential equation (PDE) ut = ( u m ) ... -
Analysis of n-Alkanes and n-Alkenes in Chukchi Sea Sediments
(2019-07)This study determined the concentrations, distribution and sources of n-alkanes in core sediments from four locations: Stations H24, H30, H32 and BarC5 in the Chukchi Sea, which is in the Arctic Ocean. n-Alkanes are ... -
Analysis of Pile Driving Monitoring Equipment
(2019-07)Rebound is a problem affecting pile driving in Florida. Significant rebound can require excessive blows for a pile to reach bearing capacity and may damage the pile. In order to study rebound, precise instrumentation is ... -
Analysis of Polyester Interleafs for Toughness Enhancement in Composite Structures
(2020-05)Delamination between composite layers is one of primary weaknesses in composite material structure. Various researchers have developed techniques to control delamination in laminated structures. One of these techniques ... -
Analysis of the FM Radio Spectrum for Secondary Licensing of Low-Power Short-Range Cognitive Internet-of-Things Devices via Cognitive Radio
(2016-11)The number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is predicated to reach 200 billion by the year 2020. This rapid growth is introducing a new class of low-power short-range wireless devices that require the use of radio ... -
An Analysis of the Moisture and Moist Static Energy Budgets in AMIP Simulations
(2016-09)An analysis of the second phase of the Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP) simulations has been conducted to understand the physical processes that control precipitation in the tropics. This is achieved ... -
An Analysis of the Relationship between Orthopedic Drill Bit and Screw Diameter on Drilling Energy and Axial Loading Strength
(2018-07)The number of orthopedic procedures performed per year in the United States is expected to grow to 6.6 million by 2020 (1). Most of these surgeries involve some degree of bone drilling and screw fixation, putting many ... -
ANALYSIS OF THE ROLE OF DNAA RECOGNITION SITE POSITION IN DIRECTING ASSEMBLY OF THE PRE-REPLICATIVE COMPLEX IN ESCHERICHIA COLI
(2020-08)Prior to initiating new rounds of DNA replication, all cells assemble pre-replicative complexes (pre-RC) consisting of initiator proteins and regions of DNA termed origins of replication. In the bacterial model system, ... -
