The purpose of this study was to teach telling time to the hour, half-hour, quarter to the hour, and to 5 min to students with austim spectrum disorder (ASD) or other developmental disabilities using video modeling (VM). Two research questions were asked: 1. Is there a functional relation between VM and increases in level and trend for telling time to the hour, half-hour, quarter hour, or 5 min for students with ASD and/or other developmental disabilities? 2. Will the use of the VM help students reach criterion on the task analytic steps for the process of telling time? A multiple probe (days)

The general hypothesis tested in this study was that: 'partial drying of the root system of grapevines will result in reduced vegetative growth with beneficial effects for fruit yield, fruit composition and water-use efficiency'. Previously published work has suggested that partial drying of the root system may give rise to non-dydraulic root-derived signals capable of changing leaf development and transpiration.

Abstract:

This thesis investigates Quasilinear Control (QLC) of time-delay systems with nonlinear actuators and sensors and analyzes the accuracy of stochastic linearization for these systems. QLC leverages the method of stochastic linearization to replace each nonlinearity with an equivalent gain, which is obtained by solving a transcendental equation. The idea of QLC is to stochastically linearize the system in order to analyze and design controllers using classical linear control theory. In this thesis, the existence of the equivalent gain for a closed-loop time-delay system is discussed. To compute

Abstract:

It is well known that some driven systems undergo transitions when a system parameter is changed adiabatically around a critical value. This transition can be the result of a fundamental change in the structure of the phase space, called a bifurcation. Most of these transitions are well classified in the theory of bifurcations. Among the driven systems, spatiotemporally periodic (STP) potentials are noteworthy due to the intimate coupling between their time and spatial components. A paradigmatic example of such a system is the Kapitza pendulum, which is a pendulum with an oscillating suspensio

The Darboux transformation is not only powerful in the construction of muilti-soliton solutions, recently, it is found that the Darboux transformation, after some modification, is also effective in generating the rogue wave solutions. In this thesis, we derive the rogue wave solutions for the Davey-Stewartson-II (DS-II) equation in terms of Darboux transformation. By taking the spectral function as the product of plane wave and rational function, we get the fundamental rogue wave solution an

However, Resource Control Theory (RCT) highlights the adaptive role of the prosocial (e.g., sharing, cooperating) and the coercive (e.g., taking, threatening) strategies that youth use to gain resources within their peer group (Hawley, 2003a).

Abstract:

Agricultural landscapes provide our society with many benefits. While food production is the primary role of these landscapes, sociocultural and ecological benefits are also provided. However, the full scope of benefits that we obtain from agricultural landscapes are not always taken into account, and with the intensification of agricultural activities, more complex multifunctional landscapes are converted into simpler and less-functional landscapes. I used a heterogeneous agricultural landscape, the Champlain Valley of Vermont, as a case study to examine the interactions between landscape str

Abstract:

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system affecting 0.1% of the population in the Northern hemisphere. MS is a complex disease that depends on genetic and environmental factors and is controlled by multiple genes that exert a modest effect in the overall disease outcome. The complex nature of the disease complicates the study of individual genes and their contribution in the disease process. To investigate mechanisms underlying the development of diseases like MS and how disease course can be manipulated, animal models have been extensively used,

Abstract:

Wireless channel characterization is important for determining both the requirements for a wireless system and its resulting reliability. Wireless systems are becoming ever more pervasive and thus are expected to operate in increasingly more cluttered environments. While these devices may be fixed in location, the channel is still far from ideal due to multipath. Under such conditions, it is desirable to have a means of taking wireless channel measurements in a low-cost and distributed manner, which is not always possible using typical channel measurement equipment. This thesis leverages a sof

Abstract:

Together with the heterosporous lycophytes, the clubmoss family (Lycopodiaceae) is the sister lineage to all other vascular land plants. Given the family’s important position in the land-plant phylogeny, studying the evolutionary history of this group is an important step towards a better understanding of plant evolution. Despite this, little is known about the Lycopodiaceae, and a well-sampled, robust phylogeny of the group is lacking. The goal of this dissertation is to resolve the relationships among evolutionary lineages in the Lycopodiaceae and provide insight into the timing and drivers

Abstract:

The motivation for this research is to leverage the increasing deployment of the phasor measurement unit (PMU) technology by electric utilities in order to improve situational awareness in power systems. PMUs provide unprecedentedly fast and synchronized voltage and current measurements across the system. Analyzing the big data provided by PMUs may prove helpful in reducing the risk of blackouts, such as the Northeast blackout in August 2003, which have resulted in huge costs in past decades. In order to provide deeper insight into early warning signs (EWS) of catastrophic events in power syst

Abstract:

Silage bunker runoff is a form of agricultural pollution that contributes to aquatic ecosystem degradation. Current handling and treatment methods for this process wastewater are often ineffective or expensive. A woodchip bioreactor is an emerging treatment technology designed to facilitate denitrification through the provision of an anaerobic, carbon rich environment. A wood chip bioreactor treatment system, consisting of three pre-treatment tanks, two wood chip bioreactors, and one infiltration basin, was constructed at the Miller Research Complex in South Burlington, Vermont in 2016.

Abstract:

Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) facilities create high enthalpy ows to recreate atmospheric entry conditions. Although no condition has been duplicated exactly in a ground test facility, it is important to characterize the condition to understand how close a facility can come to doing so. An ICP facility was constructed at the University of Vermont for aerospace material testing in 2010. The current setup can operate using air, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and argon to test samples in a chamber. In this work we investigate di erent ways to increase measured heat ux and expand our faci

Abstract:

In low dimensional systems, electron correlation effects can often be enhanced. This can be vital since these effects not only play an important role in the study of many-electron physics, but are also useful in designing new materials for various applications. Since its isolation from graphite in 2004, graphene, a two dimensional sheet of carbon atoms, has drawn considerable interest due to its remarkable properties. In the past few years, research has moved on from single to bi-, dual- and multi-layer graphene systems, each displaying their own multitudes of intriguing properties. In particu

Abstract:

Electricity is a critical component in our daily life. Because it is almost always available, we take it for granted. However, given the proper conditions, blackouts do happen every once in a while and can cause discomfort at a minimum, and a catastrophe in rare circumstances. The largest blackouts typically include cascading failures, which are sequences of interdependent outages. Although timely and effective operator intervention can often prevent a cascade from spreading, such interventions require ample situational awareness. The goals of this dissertation are twofold: to provide power sy
