In the middle : mediators of faith-based transborder development in Oaxaca, Mexico
(2014)
In this thesis I ask how transborder migration from the Oaxacan Mixteca has connected Indigenous communities with faith-based sustainable development organizations in the U.S. I focus on Guadalupe Miramar Yucuhiti, a ...
SHAPE SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL MULTI-SCALE CRACK PROPAGATION PROBLEMS USING THE BRIDGING SCALE METHOD
(2014-05)
During the past two decades, a variety of concurrent multi-scale simulation methods have been developed, such as the bridging scale method, in which MD simulation is performed only at localized areas of interest, while the ...
BLACK ICE DETECTION AND ROAD CLOSURE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR OKLAHOMA (FHWA-OK-14-01 2239)
(2014-10)
Black ice is a thin coating of glazed ice on roadways or other transportation surfaces. Black ice has identical appearance with black pavement and wet road, and it often forms during calm weather. It is highly transparent ...

(2014-04-01)
The Spaniards watched with bated breath. The dust, having been kicked up by hundreds of natives who had just arrived, had yet to settle making visibility difficult. The cause of all this commotion was the arrival of the ...
State Space Dynamic Mixture Modeling: Finding People with Similar Patterns of Change
(2014-12)
Increasingly, psychologists encounter data in which several individuals have been measured on multiple variables over numerous occasions. Many of the current methods for this situation combine the data, assuming everyone ...
Minimum time, maximum effect : introducing parallel computing in CS0 and STEM outreach activities using Scratch
(2014-09-24)
This talk discusses our experiences and outcomes using Scratch to teach parallel computing concepts to students just learning about computer science. We presented versions of this material to middle school and high school ...
The formation of small-scale atmospheric vortices via horizontal shearing instability
(2014-12-12)
Motivated by recent high-resolution observations of small-scale atmospheric vortices along near-surface boundaries, this study presents a series of simulations that attempt to replicate the dynamics of the dryline and ...
Optimization of Network Topology in Computer-Aided Detection Schemes Using Phased Searching with NEAT in a Time-Scaled Framework
(2014-10-13)
In the field of computer-aided mammographic mass detection, many different features and classifiers have been tested. Frequently, the relevant features and optimal topology for the artificial neural network (ANN)-based ...
