Validity of laboratory and field methods for predicting fat free mass in elite male rowers
(2012)
The purpose of this study was to determine the validity of air displacement plethysmography, ultrasound, near-infrared interactance, and skinfold measurements in estimating fat-free mass in elite male rowers. Twenty-three ...
INFLUENCE OF HYDRAULIC HYSTERESIS ON THE MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF UNSATURATED SOILS AND INTERFACES
(2010)
Unsaturated soils are commonly widespread around the world, especially at shallow depths from the surface. The mechanical behavior of this near surface soil is influenced by the seasonal variations such as rainfall or ...

Polarimetric Radar Observations and Numerical Simulations of Tornadic Debris
(2014-05-09)
Tornadic debris are critical aspects of tornado studies because airborne debris pose significant threats to life and property, and debris often dominate backscattered radar signals, causing biased Doppler velocity measurements. ...
SOME LOCAL AND GLOBAL ASPECTS OF MATHEMATICAL DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING
(2010)
We propose to use L^p norm of a given digital signal to identify the location where the dramatic chang occurs. The theory is based on Sobolev type inequalities on one dimensional intervals.
IMPROVING GLOBAL CARBON CYCLE MODELS WITH OBSERVATIONS
(2014-05)
In the future warming world terrestrial ecosystems may mitigate increasing temperatures by sequestering CO₂ from the atmosphere, or they can intensify future global change, amplifying the rate of CO₂ production in response ...
Divergent Pathways and Diverse Lives: The Effect of Physical Disability on the Criminal Victimization of Young Adults
(2015-12)
Official statistics show that physical disability is strongly associated with an increased risk of experiencing violent and sexual victimization, but researchers know little about why this occurs. Do offenders target ...
Autonomous visual navigation of an indoor environment using a parsimonious, insect inspired familiarity algorithm
(2016-04-27)
The navigation of bees and ants from hive to food and back has captivated people for more than a century. Recently, the Navigation by Scene Familiarity Hypothesis (NSFH) has been proposed as a parsimonious approach that ...
Immigrant Children's Adaptation and Assimilation in the Context of Family
(2012)
Family plays a notable role in shaping children's life trajectories. Focusing on second generation immigrants, this dissertation investigates how immigrant families structure their children's social environment and future ...
Metabolite-profiling to assess <italic>in<italic><italic> situ<italic> anaerobic microbial hydrocarbon degradation in diverse environments
(2010)
It is evident that complete mineralization of hydrocarbons and related compounds can occur under anaerobic conditions. A large variety of hydrocarbon classes have been shown to be amenable to decay by enriched microbial ...
