Arctic Mixed Layer Dynamics and Graduate Student Support

In studying horizontal inhomogeneity in the upper ocean we have developed a technique to measure vertical water velocity and the turbulent fluxes of heat and salt with Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV), and constructed the Autonomous Micro-conductivity and Temperature Vehicle (AMTV) to fully test and exploit the technique. AMTV data was gathered at the Surface Heat Balance of the Arctic (SHE...

This project concerns the most effective dimension reduction (EDR) space in functional regression settings. Our investigation is motivated by finding a smaller set of derived variables that contains just as much predictive power as the original set. The main idea originated from cumulative slicing for multivariate data in Zhu et al. (2010 JASA), which assesses the EDR space by cumulatively pool...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of cimaterol, a p-adrenergic agonist, on muscle Calcium Dependent Proteinase (CDP) activity and the possible relationships between proteolytic activity, cimaterol-induced muscle hypertrophy and meat tenderness. Cimaterol was administrated at 0 or 10 ppm in a complete mixed diet to 28 ram lambs for 3 or 6 weeks. Dietary administration of ci...
