Axial patterning of the developing vertebrate eye is crucial for proper axon pathfinding, as well as critically important morphogenetic events such as closure of the ocular fissure. Perturbations in eye morphogenesis can lead to ocular coloboma (failed ocular fissure closure) and microphthalmia...

In this thesis we study operator ideals on ordered Banach spaces such as Banach lattices, $C^*$-algebras, and noncommutative function spaces. The first part of this work is concerned with the domination problem: the relationship between order and algebraic ideals of operators. Fremlin, Dodds and...

A Bayesian Joint Model Framework for Repeated Matrix-Variate Regression with Measurement Error Correction
DownloadSpring 2021
In this thesis, with the purpose of correcting for potential measurement errors in repeatedly-observed matrix-valued surrogates, and examining the underlying association between latent matrix covariates and a binary response, we propose a Bayesian joint model framework. This joint model method...

We introduce two kinds of particle filters, one is weighted particle filter and the other is resampling particle filter. We prove the Strong Law of Large Numbers and Central Limit Theorem for both particle filters. Then, we show that the resampling particle filter is better than the weighted one.

A Functional Approach Reveals Zooplankton Responses to Environmental Change in Mountain Lakes
DownloadFall 2017
Concern is increasing over the future cumulative impacts of multiple stressors on freshwater biodiversity and ecosystem function, especially in alpine environments where climatic warming increases with elevation. Here, consideration of individual species traits enables translation of changes in...

A General Framework of Optimal Stochastic Optimization with Dependent Data: Multiple Optimality Guarantee, Sample Complexity, and Tractability
DownloadSpring 2023
We consider stochastic optimization in settings where the distribution of unknown parameters is observable only through finitely dependent training samples. Using the Sample Averaging Approximation ({SAA}), we specifically study the data-driven procedure in which, instead of receiving samples...

The first histological study of an entire hadrosaurid dental battery provides a better understanding of this complex structure. The hadrosaurid dental battery is composed of interlocking, vertically stacked columns of teeth that form a complex grinding surface. The dental battery was previously...

Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels regulate the flow of potassium ions across the cell membrane of nerves and muscles. Proper functioning of these and other voltage-gated ion channels is critical for an animal to sense the environment and respond quickly to stimuli. Dysfunctional Kv channels,...
