Boundary Spanner Modification of Organizational Directives
(2013)Boundary spanners represent an important and challenging set of employees for organizational management. Given frequently high autonomy levels and varied job roles, boundary spanning agents have ample opportunity and ... -
A bounding surface model for cyclic response of cement-improved clays
(2018-05-11)The use of chemical stabilization of soft soils to achieve increased strength and decreased compressibility for subgrade and site improvement applications is a well-documented and accepted practice in geotechnical engineering. ... -
Bovarysme Beyond Bovary: From the Psyche to the Text
(2012)"Bovarysme Beyond Bovary: From the Psyche to the Text," centers on examining the notion of bovarysme as a particular stance on literature, as well as a specific literary technique, and seeks to establish the emergence of ... -

The Brain Trust Model: A proposed change to modern change management.
(2006)The study of change management and innovation is a perplexing and challenging undertaking. A review of the literature revealed that change management practices and methodological frameworks are currently insufficient to ... -
Branch-point structure and energy level calculations of diamagnetic hydrogen using dimensional perturbation theory.
(2000)This dissertation describes the results of research that covers two distinct areas relevant to the field of physics: atomic theory and applied numerical analysis. In the first phase of this research the avoided crossings ... -
Branched polyethylenimine re-sensitizes methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus to beta-lactam antibioitics through a novel mechanism of action
(2018)Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a growing concern in the medical industry due to high morbidity and difficulty of treatment in infected patients. Conventional β-lactam antibiotics kill Staphylococcus ... -

Brauer groups of H-dimodule algebras and truncated power series Hopf algebras.
(1980)The Brauer group of H-dimodule algebras, BD(R, H), consists of equivalence classes of H-Azumaya algebras; where H is a Hopf algebra over a commutative ring R, and an H-dimodule algebra A is defined to be H-Azumaya if certain ... -
Break up of a round liquid jet in a low Weber number cross flow.
(2007)The break up of a liquid jet in cross flow has applications in fuel atomization processes. The break up of a water jet in a high speed cross flow was studied with momentum ratios ranging between 10 and 172. High-speed ... -
Breaking the Practical Performance Barriers of Polarimetric Phased Array Weather Radars
(2022-12-16)Phased array radars (PAR) are being proposed as an alternative to replacing the Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) network, which has been in service for more than 30 years, reaching the end of its life cycle. The PAR ... -
Breeding and migration ecology of bar-headed goose Anser indicus and swan goose Anser cygnoides in Asia
(2013-12)Most waterfowl that breed in Mongolia, part of the semiarid northern region of East Asia, are long distant migrants. They depend on availability of lake, river, and wetland habitats on their breeding and wintering grounds ... -

Bridge weigh-in-motion (WIM) algorithm for estimating axle weights, axle spacing, and other truck parameters.
(2003)In this work, we discuss the development of a bridge weigh-in-motion (WIM) algorithm to predict axle weights to within 1% for +/-1 x 10-6m measurement noise. WIM systems that use bridges as scales are already in limited ... -
Bridging Micro- and Macro- Evolution In Tropical Fishes
(2023-12-15)In marine environments, barriers to dispersal can be challenging to identify because they are often cryptic. Unlike terrestrial environments, where a mountain chain that is visible can physically separate two populations ... -
Bridging the Gap between Sparse Matrix Computation and Graph Models
(2024-05-10)Sparsity manifests itself in a multitude of modern High-Performance Computing applications including graph neural networks, network analytics, and scientific computing. In sparse matrices, the majority of values are zeros. ... -
Briding the GAPS: An Evaluation of the Group Activated Probability of Success Model of Stereotype Threat
(2010)The authors developed the Group Activated Probability of Success (GAPS) model to replicate the relationship between the performances of minority group members that are impacted by stereotype threat and to examine the impact ...
