COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SOFTWARE DEFINED NETWORKS (SDN) AND CONVENTIONAL NETWORKS USING ROUTING PROTOCOLS
(2017-05)
Conventional routing protocols such as RIP, OSPF, EIGRP and BGP have a very rigid and intricate system thus narrowing the adaptability of networks to the ever changing Internet, the emergence of Software Defined Networking ...
Homogeneous Vessels as Active Elements for Measuring Pressure
(2018-05-11)
This work investigates an approach to pressure sensor design in which a homogeneous vessel is used as the active element to sense pressure. The goal of this project was to synthesize a standard model for the design and ...
Interaction of Metal Ions with the Polyanionic Gram-Positive Cell Wall and the Effect of Antimicrobial Cationic Branched Polyethyleneimine on Metal Binding
(2014-12)
Metal binding is a known characteristic of the bacterial cell wall. Yet, the binding mechanisms and affinity constants are not fully understood. The cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria is characterized by a thick layer of ...
Exploiting Heterogeneous Multicore Processors Through Fine-Grained Scheduling and Low-Overhead Thread Migration
(2012)
Heterogeneous (also known as asymmetric) multicore processors (HMPs) offer significant advantages over homogeneous multicores in terms of both power and performance. Power-efficient cores can be paired with higher-performance ...
Collaborative Cyberinfrastructure to Explore 21st Century Research and Education Frontiers
(2014-09-24)
Ubiquity in mobile devices, social networks, sensors, advanced computing and instruments have created a complex data-rich environment ripe for new scientific and engineering advances. In this world of computational and ...
Tolerance and Intolerance in Political Discourse on Twitter during the U.S. 2016 Presidential Election
(2017-08-26)
This study explored tolerance and intolerance in political discourse on Twitter during the U.S. 2016 election. It was a combination of social network analysis of four Twitter networks the day before the election, the day ...
Mispricing of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs): The Role of Accounting Information
(2011)
I examine the role of accounting information in the end-of-first day overpricing of IPO stocks. Sloan (1996) and Teoh et al. (1998) suggest earnings-based explanations for the mispricing while Healy and Palepu (1990) suggest ...
A LABORATORY INVESTIGATION AND MODELING OF DYNAMIC MODULUS OF ASPHALT MIXES FOR PAVEMENT APPLICATIONS
(2011)
Traditionally, stiffness of hot mix asphalt (HMA) has been used as a measure of the pavement's ability to carry vehicular traffic loads without undergoing excessive deformation. Early deterioration of pavements due to ...
Activation of ERK and NF-κB during HARE-Mediated Heparin Uptake Require Only One of the Four Endocytic Motifs
(PLos One, 2016-04-21)
Fifteen different ligands, including heparin (Hep), are cleared from lymph and blood by the Hyaluronan (HA) Receptor for Endocytosis (HARE; derived from Stabilin-2 by proteolysis), which contains four endocytic motifs ...
Biophysical mechanisms for the generation of electrosensory and communication signal in the weakly electric fish Eigenmannia virescens
(2018-05-03)
The weakly electric fish Eigenmannia virescens generates electric organ discharges (EODs) to navigate and communicate. The EODs are brief monophasic voltage pulses with brief inter-pulse intervals, resulting in a sinusoidal ...
