Calendar spread options for storable commodities
(2013-12)
Previous studies provide pricing models of options on futures spreads. However, none fully reflect the economic reality that spreads can stay near full carry for long periods of time. A new option pricing model is derived ...
Impact of Tinkerplots on preservice elementary teachers' understanding of measures of center and graphical representations
(2013-07)
Scope and Method of Study:
Nonparametric ANOVA using kernel methods
(2013-07)
A new approach to one-way and two-way analysis of variance from the nonparametric view point is introduced and studied. It is nonparametric in the sense that no distributional format assumed and the testing pertain to ...
Anaerobic sequencing batch reactor treatment of low strength swine manure and co-digestion of energy dense by-products
(2013-05)
The Anaerobic Sequencing Batch Reactor (ASBR) is a batch digester utilizing a single vessel for digestion and solids separation. Internal solids retention provides the ASBR with the ability to treat dilute solids wastewaters ...
Improved saliency mechanism for computer vision
(2013-07)
The objective of this project is to find an efficient biologically plausible model for the bottom-up saliency mechanism of the human vision system (HVS) and employ it in computer vision applications. In practice, analyzing ...
Fermentation of synthesis gas to ethanol: Medium design, mass transfer and integrated model
(2013-05)
The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects ethanol as the most prominent biofuel through 2035. The need for biofuels is driven by increased national security, rural development, meeting transportation fuel ...
Structural dynamics of photoactive yellow protein
(2013-07)
Photoactive yellow protein (PYP) is a blue light photoreceptor protein. PYP is a structural prototype of the PAS domain superfamily of regulating and signaling proteins. Upon absorption of a blue light photon, PYP exhibits ...
Frequency stability in thin-film piezoelectric-on-substrate oscillators
(2013-12)
For many years, crystal oscillators have been used as the de facto frequency reference in almost all electronic platforms because they offer excellent stability and superior phase noise. This is mainly due to the high ...
Full-field strain measurements of metal plate connections using digital image correlation technique
(2013-12)
Metal plate connections (MPC) are a very important element in the truss design industry; however, they are considered the least understood part and their design is not well understood. The complications in MPC joint modeling, ...
