REDUCTION OF ASYMMETRICAL COMPETITION THROUGH COGNITIVE ADAPTATIONS IN TWO SYMPATRIC CHIPMUNKS
(2015-08)
Asymmetrical competition occurs frequently and can potentially lead to a small species facing resource exclusion. When this competition occurs for food resources, smaller species often have to compensate for this pressure ...
SEISMIC AND QUASI-STATIC LATERAL LOAD BEHAVIOR OF PILE GROUPS IN IMPROVED SOFT CLAY: CENTRIFUGE AND NUMERICAL MODELING
(2015-12-18)
In the design of pile foundations subjected to lateral loading, one of the objectives is to restrict the lateral displacements. Improving the soil surrounding the pile foundation is an innovative and cost-efficient solution ...
MIXED METAL CARBIDES: UNDERSTANDING THE SYNTHESIS, SURFACE PROPERTIES AND CATALYTIC ACTIVITIES
(2015-08)
Metal carbides are formed when carbon is inserted into the lattice of the metal, and metal-carbon bonds are formed. In fact, formation of the carbon-metal bonds causes a change in the electronic structure of the metal in ...
The representations of p-adic fields associated to elliptic curves
(2015)
The goal of this dissertation is to find the irreducible, admissible representation
of GL(2; F) attached to an elliptic curve E over a p-adic field F. Associated
to E is a 2-dimensional complex representation of the ...
