Quadratic Functionals and Small Ball Probabilities for the m-fold Brownian Motion

Chen, X.; Li, Wenbo (Department of Mathematical Sciences, 2002)

Let the Gaussian process Xm(t) be the m-fold integrated Brownian motion for positive integer m. The Laplace transform of the quadratic functional of Xm(t) is found by using an appropriate self-adjoint integral operator. ...

A qualitative exploration of middle childhood sibling relationship quality within the context of intimate partner violence

Quality of Life Indicators Related to Sussex County’s Growing Senior Population: Preliminary Needs Assessment and Environment Scan

O'Hanlon, Julia; Kline, Angela (2016-07)

Statewide senior population trends, particularly the projected growth in the percentage of older adults in more rural areas of Delaware, are becoming increasingly important for local officials, social service organizations, ...

Quality School Libraries Lead to Higher Student Achievement

Kelly, Christopher; Sherretz, Kelly L.; Wilson, Bill (Institute for Public Administration, 2016-08)

Over the past two decades, the relationship between the quality of school libraries and student performance has been the focus of dozens of state-level studies. Simply stated, these studies confirm that access to high-quality ...

Quantification and characterization of mobile colloids: their potential role in carbon cycling under varying redox conditions

Yan, Jing (University of Delaware, 2016)

Mobile colloids, 1-1000 nm particles, have attracted much research attention because they have small size and large specific surface area therefore the potential to facilitate the transport of contaminants in the subsurface ...

Quantification and molecular characterization of organo-mineral associations as influenced by redox oscillations: relevance in carbon cycling and stabilization

Afsar, Mohammad Zafar (University of Delaware, 2020)

Redox-induced biogeochemical transformations are the key processes that control the fate and transport of soil organic carbon (SOC) via association with metal oxides in redox-sensitive wetlands. Given the particularly ...

Quantification of Hydrodynamic Variability in Surface and Near-Bed Velocities Using Thermal Infrared Cameras and In-Situ Velocity Profilers

Dejean, Adam (University of Delaware, 2014-05)

The study of fluid mechanics and its applications is a growing and vastly changing field. The ability to determine how water moves and how this movement causes the bed underneath to react is still very uncertain. Many ...

Quantification of Interfibrillar Shear Stress in Aligned Soft Collagenous Tissues via Notch Tension Testing

Szczesny, Spencer E.; Caplan, Jeffrey L.; Pedersen, Pal; Elliott, Dawn M. (Nature Publishing Group, 2015-10-15)

The mechanical function of soft collagenous tissues is largely determined by their hierarchical organization of collagen molecules. While collagen fibrils are believed to be discontinuous and transfer load through shearing ...

Quantification of Vertical Profiles of Cross-Shore, Swash-Zone Flow in the Near Bed Region Using Particle Image Velocimetry

Krafft, Douglas; (University of Delaware, 2015-05)

Erosion is a very real problem facing many beaches. Sediment transport in one particular coastal region, the swash zone, is particularly important for understanding coastal erosion. Sediment transport cannot be measured ...

A quantifier-based approach to NPI-licensing typology: Empirical and computational investigations

Vu, Mai Ha (University of Delaware, 2020)

This thesis examines the quantifier-based approach to NPI-licensing (as pro- posed in (Giannakidou, 2000)) from empirical and computational perspectives. This approach argues that all NPIs can be categorized as either ...

Quantifying biochar content in biochar amended roadway soil using a two-temperature loss on ignition method

Panta, Sriya (University of Delaware, 2017)

While the use of biochar in stormwater management and as a soil amendment is gaining popularity, quantification of biochar in soil is still challenging. The objective of this work was to develop a simple and inexpensive ...

Quantifying geomorphic change to a point bar in response to high flow events using terrestrial lidar, White Clay Creek, DE

Orefice, Michael J. (University of Delaware, 2015)

Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) data can be used to accurately model three- dimensional surfaces for quantifying fluvial erosion and deposition. Terrestrial LiDAR is typically used for monitoring banks, but can be used ...
