Farmer perceptions of wetland ecosystem goods and services
(2014-12-11)Wetlands provide services to humans through ecological functions including water filtration, flood prevention, freshwater provision etc. Farmers risk losing these essential services as a result of wetland drainage. Wetlands ... -
Fashioning Identity: Clothing and the Image of the Syrian in the Roman Empire
(2016-08-30)This thesis examines the role that clothing played in creating identity in Ancient Rome, with a focus on Syrian identity. The historical background which led to Syria’s becoming a Roman province necessitated that a uniquely ... -
Fast and Effective Statistical Inference for Spatio-Temporal Data, with Applications in Marine Ecology
(2022-06-02)Data in marine ecology are often characterized by substantial observation noise, patchiness in sampling coverage, and complex dynamics. Statistical techniques for analyzing these data need to account for complicated data ... -
Fast calculation of n-gram-based phrase similarity
(2017-12-18)Text Relatedness Using Word and Phrase Relatedness Method (TrWP) is a text relatedness measure that computes semantic similarity between words and phrases utilizing aggregated statistics from the Google Web-1T corpus. The ... -
FAST CLUSTERING WITH NOISE REMOVAL FOR LARGE DATASETS
(2017-09-01)Availability of large temporal data enabled by improved collection tools and storage devices has posed a new set of challenges in data mining, especially in the area of clustering data into different groups according to ... -
Fast K-Means Clustering Via K-D Trees, Sampling, and Parallelism
(2019-08-29)K-means is a commonly used method for clustering in applications that require fast response time due to its speed. As data becomes large (millions of data points), the classical implementation may not achieve the performance ... -
Fast Preprocessing for Optimal Orthogonal Range Reporting and Range Successor with Applications to Text Indexing
(2020-08-28)Under the word RAM model, we design three data structures that can be constructed in $O(n\sqrt{\lg n})$ time over $n$ points in an $n \times n$ grid. The first data structure is an $O(n\lg^{\epsilon} n)$-word structure ... -
FAST-Mediated Pore Expansion: Novel Roles For Annexin A1 and Plasma Membrane Architecture
(2016-01-19)Two approaches investigating the contribution of cellular factors to syncytiogenesis mediated by viral fusogens are reported in this thesis. These include architecture of plasma membrane curvature and the role of annexin ... -
Fate and Transport of Determinants of Antimicrobial Resistance in Variably Saturated Terrestrial Environments
(2020-04-30)Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global public health threat which contributes to reduced effectiveness of antibiotics for treatment of bacterial infections in humans. Residuals of antimicrobial products from ... -
FATE AND TRANSPORT OF NON-STEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS (NSAIDS) IN SOILS RECEIVING LAND APPLIED ALKALINE TREATED BIOSOLIDS IN NOVA SCOTIA
(2022-12-06)Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used to treat and prevent illness. Land application of biosolids is one potential source of NSAIDs into agricultural soils and enter as mixtures into the environment. ... -
Fate and Transport of Particulate Matter in Geotextile Tube Dewatering of Dioxin and Furans Contaminated Sediments
(2020-12-03)Geotextile tube dewatering is a pre-treatment method frequently utilized in the remediation of high-water content materials. Given the association that some contaminants (e.g. dioxins and furans) have with the particulate ... -
