The gas within dark matter halos of galaxies and clusters contains information about the baryon content of the universe that is not found anywhere else. Precise understanding of the nuances of this gas is critical to understanding the...
Biofilms are thin layers of microorganisms in which cells adhere to each other and stick to a surface. They are resistant to antibiotics and disinfectants due to the protection from extracellular polymeric substance (EPS), which is a gel...
Observations indicate that massive stars ends their lives violently, but exactly how massive they need to be remains an astrophysical challenge. Stellar evolution predicts make two fundamental predictions about the fate of massive stars....
Previous case studies have noted a significant extratropical flow response to recurving Atlantic tropical cyclones (TCs), which is often linked to extreme weather events downstream. This study examines the modification of Rossby waves on...
In this dissertation, we study three important cases in noncommutative geometry. We first observe the standard noncommutative object, noncommutative torus, in noncommutative motives. We work with the category of holomorphic bundles on a...
Resilience simply means to rebound when exposed to a disruptive event. Damage to bridges in transportation networks usually result in long detours and increased travel time hence have massive cost implications. Transportation networks...
Changes in cloud properties in response to surface warming have been consistently identified as the feedback contributing the largest uncertainty in the overall climate feedback parameter, which describes changes in top of atmosphere...
How does subatomic matter organize itself? Neutron stars are cosmic laboratories uniquely poised to answer this fundamental question that lies at the heart of nuclear science. Newly commissioned rare isotope facilities, telescopes...
In this dissertation we explore three topics: 1) the extraction of the proton radius from electron scattering data; 2) the reconstruction of neutron distributions in nuclei from parity violating experiments; and 3) the propagation of...
There is a pattern of students' mathematics achievement scores dropping in the first year of middle school, typically sixth grade in Florida (fldoe.org, 2014). Sixth grade is of particular interest as this is typically a transition year...
Multivariate statistical monitoring schemes are useful tools for quality improvement in industries like manufacturing, healthcare, and transportation among others. Practitioners use monitoring methods to detect significant changes in...
The understanding of the evolution of a Tropical Cyclone (TC) has been a topic of research for several years. During the hurricane season not all thunderstorm events embedded in the African easterly waves or otherwise evolve into...
Ice clouds are crucial to the Earth's radiation balance. They cool the Earth-atmosphere system by reflecting solar radiation back to space and warm it by blocking outgoing thermal radiation. However, there is a lack of an observation...
