Evaluation of Network Mobility Schemes for Terrestrial and Satellite Networks
(2012)
NEtwork MObility (NEMO) supports the mobility of multiple Internet-connected devices. However, NEMO Basic Support Protocol suffers from unoptimized route leading to large latency in communication and header overhead. To ...
Antiquity and Loyalist Counter-Narrative in Revolutionary America, 1765-1776
(2012)
This study explores one aspect of the American founding that scholarship has not yet fully investigated, namely, the ways in which loyalist advocates used the ancient literature of Greece and Rome to make their case against ...
Climate and Weather Impact Timing of Emergence of Bats
(PLos One, 2012-08-02)
Interest in forecasting impacts of climate change have heightened attention in recent decades to how animals respond to variation in climate and weather patterns. One difficulty in determining animal response to climate ...
The Relationship of Gender, Trauma Response, and Spiritual Development to Missionary Repatriation Adjustment
(2012)
This study was designed to explore the impact of gender, trauma response, and spiritual development on the repatriation adjustment of Christian missionaries from the United States. Sussman's (2000) model for cultural ...
Optimization Problem for Klein-Gordon Equation
(2012)
We consider a damped Klein-Gordon equation with a variable diffusion coefficient. The goal is to derive necessary conditions for the optimal set of parameters minimizing the objective function J. First, we show that the ...
Insights from Characterizing Extinct Human Gut Microbiomes
(PLos One, 2012-12-12)
In an effort to better understand the ancestral state of the human distal gut microbiome, we examine feces retrieved from archaeological contexts (coprolites). To accomplish this, we pyrosequenced the 16S rDNA V3 region ...
(Re)Modeling Economic Growth
(2012)
Chapter 1: Economists examine two types of variables when studying aggregate production and economic growth. Factors which appear in standard Solow-type models (physical capital, labor, and human capital) are classified ...
Leader-Facilitated Emotion Management in Context: Empathy & Skill
(2012)
The balance between leader emotional skills and ability is not well understood. Leaders who recognize and understand emotions appear in the research as more competent and successful. Applying emotion management strategies, ...
MATHEMATICAL THEORY IN CLASSIFICATION AND SEGMENTATION
(2012)
We develop several mathematical approaches to solve a series of questions of interdisciplinary research interests. New distance functions are designed for the verification of meteorological forecasts. Modern active contour ...
Simple modification method for the surface functionalization of poly (α-hydroxy ester) polymers
(2012)
A vital component for the engineering of tissue constructs in vitro is a scaffold that allows cells to adhere and proliferate. Biomimetic scaffolds aim to enhance the regeneration of damaged tissue by mimicking the cells' ...
