Ponds are common and abundant features in nearly all landscapes typical of European lowland landscapes yet research on freshwater biodiversity has traditionally focussed on larger waterbodies such as lakes and rivers. This has led to an increased need to understand and quantify …
This thesis is concerned with one important question in artificial neural networks, that is, how biologically inspired connectivity of a network affects its associative memory performance. In recent years, research on the mammalian cerebral cortex, which has the main responsibil…
In river ecology the description and understanding of near-natural ecosystem functionality is a difficult task to achieve as the majority of river floodplains have been intensively impacted by human activities. This work addresses ecological functionality of a relatively unimpac…
Variations in drainage density have been observed in a range of environments as the perennial stream network expands into headwater reaches. This network expansion and contraction results in large changes in drainage density and as such, has implications for the connectivity of …
This dissertation explores cultural identity in the kingdom of Nabataea through an interdisciplinary approach to textual, art historical, and archaeological evidence. Nabataea, centered at Petra in the south of the modern kingdom of Jordan, operated as an independent polity from…
Wireless Networks provide a very cost efficient solution for data connectivity over wide areas enabling ubiquitous computing environment through multi-hop relay. The scope of this dissertation encompasses two correlated domains of Wireless Network area, one is the Multi-Radio Mu…
In many coastal systems, freshwater inputs influence the physical and chemical environment of estuarine organisms through changes in flow patterns, salinity, and conveyance of wastewater pollution. In areas with harvestable commercial fishery stocks, freshwater inputs may also p…
This dissertation is an examination of growth, behavior, and dispersal during the early life stages of marine fishes in the Gulf of Mexico. Understanding movements of early life stages is a key part of managing exploited fish populations. Position in the water column can impact …
