NORM RETRIEVAL FROM SPATIOTEMPORAL SAMPLES
(2018-12)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 ... -
NORMAL TORI IN #_n(S2xS1) AND THE DEHN TWIST AUTOMORPHISMS OF THE FREE GROUP
(2013)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. -

Normativity, Human Nature and Practical Reason: A New Approach to an Old Problem
(2017-05-12)Neo-Aristotelian ethical naturalism (henceforth: Aristotelian naturalism) claims ethical goodness is a kind of human natural goodness, where natural goodness is a function of human nature. Call this the core thesis. The ... -

North Atlantic winter surface extratropical cyclone track variability on interannual-to-decadal time-scales.
(2004)The variability of cyclone activity at interannual and decadal-to-multidecadal time-scales is examined. First, interannual cyclone variability is classified into three major modes based on a VARIMAX Rotated Principal ... -
Northwest Australian Tropical Cyclones: Variability and Seasonal Prediction
(2009)Global teleconnections, involving geopotential height, air temperature, and sea surface temperature, are found for the interannual variability of tropical cyclone (TC) activity in Northwest-Australian (NWAUS) basin of the ... -
Not all disappeared: Disease and southeastern Indian survival, 1500-1800.
(1998)Southeastern Indian survival depended on four factors. First, smallpox came relatively late to the Southeast, failing to become epidemic until the 1690s. Second, when epidemics struck with full force after the 1690s, Indians ... -
Not for men only: The (de)-construction of lesbian/queer public sexualities.
(2005)This research study is an exploration of women's sexuality in general and lesbian/queer women's sexuality in particular. There has been little done in terms of examining women's sexuality and sexual practices, especially ... -
(Not so) Divine comedy: A content analysis of humorous political ads.
(2000)The current study is a content analysis of 379 humorous political advertisements from 1952 to 1996 in every election level from civic to presidential. Percentages, Chi Square analyses and one-sample t-tests are employed ... -
NOT UPGRADED TOURISM: A CASE STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF A SHORT-TERM STUDY ABROAD EXPERIENCE IN ISRAEL
(2018-05-11)International education has been evolving in the past decade, with short-term study abroad programs gradually growing to be the dominant type of program. With this growth comes the need to develop a concentrated and impactful ... -
Novel annexin A5 - nanoparticles conjugates for targeted cancer therapy
(2022-12-09)Cancer is considered the single most critical barrier to improving life expectancy in every country. More specifically, the high prevalence of breast cancer is a global health concern, but there are no safe or effective ... -
Novel aspects of benzoate and crotonate metabolism by the strictly anaerobic bacterium Syntrophus aciditrophicus strain SB.
(2007)Although enzyme activities and metabolites detected in S. aciditrophicus indicated that benzoate was degraded by the pathway found in Rhodopseudomonas palustris, proteomic data detected the gene products homologous to ... -
Novel biomarker application reveals the microbial ecological dynamics surrounding Oceanic Anoxic Event II (OAE-2)
(2021-05-14)Biomarkers are established facets of paleoenvironmental study, yet significant untapped potential remains. Conventional methods (e.g. GC-MS) fail to characterize large, polar molecules, which often possess greater biological ... -
Novel catalytic materials for carbon dioxide reforming of methane under severely deactivating conditions.
(1999)Promotion of the ZrO2 support with cerium and lanthanum resulted in increased activity and stability of the catalyst. The improved performance of the promoted catalyst can be attributed stabilizing the surface area for ... -
Novel cobalt-mediated regio- and stereoselective radical cyclizations.
(1998)Initial efforts focused on the intermolecular additions of the radicals to electron deficient double bonds, but they were unsuccessful. Efforts then focused on intramolecular cyclizations of 1-[(alkynyl)Co2(CO) 6]-5-hexenyl ... -
Novel Computer-Aided Diagnosis Schemes for Radiological Image Analysis
(2022-05-13)The computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) scheme is a powerful tool in assisting clinicians (e.g., radiologists) to interpret medical images more accurately and efficiently. In developing high-performing CAD schemes, classic ...
