Carrier Mobility Enhancement of Tensile Strained Si and SiGe Nanowires via Surface Defect Engineering by J. W. Ma (1486372)

“…In addition, the number of defects could be significantly decreased in Si NWs by incorporating a surface passivated Al₂O₃ layer, which removes broken bonds, resulting in a proportional decrease in the resistivity of Si NWs with increasing strain. …”

Supplementary Material for: The Robustness of Generalized Estimating Equations for Association Tests in Extended Family Data by Suktitipat B. (4134472)

“…Alternative approaches that do not require the computation of familial correlations are preferable, provided that they do not inflate type I error or decrease power. We performed a simulation study to evaluate practical alternatives to VCA that use regression with generalized estimating equations (GEE) in extended family data. …”

The Effect of Positive Interactions on Temporal Turnover of Community Composition along an Environmental Gradient by Youshi Wang (483649)

“…Additionally, due to the difficulties in collecting the long-term data, it would be useful to indicate the rate of temporal turnover using a readily obtainable metric. Using an individual-based model incorporating plant strategies, we examined the role of facilitation on the temporal turnover of communities located at different positions along an environmental gradient for three model scenarios: CM without facilitation; CFM-U, a unimodal relationship between facilitation and environmental severity; and CFM-L, a positively linear relationship between facilitation and environmental severity. …”

Table_1_Population Dynamics at the Range Margin: Implications of Climate Change on Sublittoral Blue Mussels (Mytilus trossulus).XLSX by Mats Westerbom (4420888)

“…We show empirically that the dynamics of edge populations are not driven by large changes in climate variables but that small spatial and temporal changes in key environmental variables have large and non-linear population level effects. Our results also show that fluctuating recruitment is a key factor for population stability affecting the storage potential of marginal populations, which dramatically decrease toward the edge. …”

Mathematical Modeling Predicts that Increased HSV-2 Shedding in HIV-1 Infected Persons Is Due to Poor Immunologic Control in Ganglia and Genital Mucosa by Joshua T. Schiffer (430730)

“…Peak episode viral load was not found to differ between HIV infected and uninfected participants regardless of CD4+ T-cell count. We simulate a mathematical model which recapitulates these findings and identifies that rate of HSV-2 release from neural tissue increases, duration of mucosal cytolytic immune protection decreases, and cell-free viral lifespan increases in HIV infected participants. …”
