A complex of intertwined economic subsidy programs and political patronage networks has long formed a pillar of social stability in rural Mexico. Recent economic reforms have reduced or eliminated key subsidy programs and ...

A general approach to optimal nonlinear filtering can be described by a recursive Bayesian approach. The key step in this approach is to determine the probability density function of the state vector conditioned on available ...

In this study a nonlinear dynamic analysis computer program for planar steel frames with semi-rigid connections is developed. The semi-rigid connections are modeled as a massless rotational spring element. This element has ...

The primary purpose of this thesis is to study the generation of quantum entanglement via nonlinear processes in hot sodium vapors and ultracold sodium spinor Bose-Einstein condensates. The creation of entanglement can ...

Discussions about nonprofit organizations often portray a very unique sector with a specific set of values, goals, and norms. And yet, there is a lot of diversity among nonprofit organizations in role, purpose and structure. ...

The goal of this dissertation is to investigate norm retrievable frames having dynamical sampling structure, particularly those that fail the phase retrieval con- dition. We give several classifications to show how to ...

The 3-dimensional space which renders a Out(F_n) action is M = #_n(S2x S1). The relation between M and Out(F_n) is that the latter is isomorphic to the mapping class group of M up to rotations about 2-spheres in M.

This article examines the relationships between the biological and social content of the domestic handbooks Catharine E. Beecher (1800-1878) and Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1868-1935) wrote during the mid-nineteenth and ...
