Abstract:

The analysis and the numerical simulations described in this Thesis allow to better understand the confinement properties of toroidally confined plasmas dedicated to the research on controlled thermonuclear fusion. Two important configurations have been investigated: the Reversed Field Pinch (RFP) and the Tokamak. In the former we have focused our attention on advanced regimes recently discovered, named Quasi Single Helicity (QSH). The magnetic topology and the particle transport have been studied in these states both in the experiments RFX-mod (Padua, Italy) and MST (Madison,WI,USA). A new

Abstract:

The brain and spinal cord make up the central nervous system (CNS), and as an immune-privileged site, it requires special immune surveillance and regulation. The complement system is a component of innate immunity produced locally in the CNS, since size restrictions from the blood brain barrier prevent complement proteins from easily passing through from the rest of the body. The complement pathway contributes to inflammatory cell recruitment, cell lysis, and opsonization, and thus requires regulation to avoid inappropriate activation. Despite its important role in innate immunity, very little

Few transcription factors (TFs) have been studied in the context of an integrative analysis incorporating genomic datasets from diverse genome regulatory mechanisms. Such an analysis allows the testing of specific regulatory associations in an unbiased and comprehensive manner. The promoter binding TF complex NF-Y regulates a diverse set of constitutive, inducible, developmental, oncogenic and tissue-specific genes. Using cancer models, ChIP-Seq, shRNA, and genomics, I have undertaken a genome-wide study of NF-Y. NF-Y binds to not only promoters but also extensively to enhancers, select classe

Abstract:

Roundabout installations are becoming common practice among DOTs and other local governments due to their superior safety attributes compared to other conventional at-grade intersections, especially stop-control and uncontrolled intersections. Current U.S. national guidelines for roundabout illumination recommend systematic illumination for all roundabouts. This recommendation might become a potential hindrance to desired widespread installations due to implied financial costs, especially in rural areas because the competing stop-control and uncontrolled intersections can be kept unlit.

Abstract:

Most of the concrete buttress dams in Sweden were built from the 1950s till the1980s based on the traditional method of analyses. Those structures are reinforced and heavy in structure. Their height to thickness ratio being large makes them prone to crack during their lifespan. The presence of these cracks make the reinforcements used in the buttress dam susceptible to corrosion due to the water entering through the cracked areas. Therefore, studying the effect of cracks and corrosion regarding the safety of dams is important and should be carried out before the dams fail to function. However,

As a result of high crash frequencies on roadways, transportation safety has become a high priority for the United States Department of Transportation and the Utah Department of Transportation. A large percentage of fatal and injury crashes on roadways occur at intersections and traffic signals have been implemented to reduce these severe crashes. There is a need to evaluate the effectiveness of the traffic signal improvements through the development of Crash Modification Factors (CMFs). Recent research has shown that traditional safety evaluation methods have been inadequate in developing CMF

The stability analysis of rock slopes has been a challenging task for engineers because the rock mass constituting the slope often has discontinuities in various forms, resulting in different types of slope failures.

There are several parameters including surcharge and seismic loads that govern the stability of the rock slope against plane failure in field projects.

Every country develops their own policies and standards that differ from country to country. These differences create problems for manufacturing industries, especially in major exporting countries. This study overviews the policy context driving standards in the manufacturing industries. The study consists of three different articles that attempt to examine the role of technical regulations and standards and their relationship with trade using different econometri

Abstract:

The application of geosynthetic reinforcements in civil/geotechnical engineering projects (retaining walls, foundations, pavements, dams, slopes, etc.) has gained much popularity during the past few decades due to several benefits, including cost-effectiveness, environmentally friendly and sustainability. A detailed literature review as presented in this thesis has indicated that when a slope is reinforced with the geosynthetic layer(s), it improves the overall stability of the slope with or without loaded footing on the slope crest. However, studies on the performance of strip footings embedd

Abstract:

This research has three parts. Part 1: The Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Street provides 5 methods of superelevation (e) distribution. Many states use methods 2 and 5 for low speed, urban and rural high-speed facilities. Method 5 aims to address speed variations; but is complicated, computationally intractable and may violate design consistency. Design recommendation by NCHRP439 accounts for speed variation, tractable; but is cumbersome along with irregular/step-wise design curves. New reliability based e distribution method is developed that addresses the speed variation; which
