HOLONOMY DISPLACEMENT OF CURVES IN BUNDLE SO(N)->SO_0(1,N)->H^n
(2011)
The Riemannian submersion π : SO_0(1,n) ->H^n is a principal bundle and its fiber at π (e) is the imbedding of SO(n) into SO_0(1,n) , where e is the identity of both SO_0(1,n) and SO(n). In this study, we associate ...
Why won't they listen to us: Stakeholder pressure, managerial discretion and corporate social performance
(2011)
Public corporations are under immense pressure from their stakeholders to improve the corporate social (including environmental) performance (CSP). But do increased stakeholder demands result in subsequent improvements in ...

Distributed Computation and Optimization over Networks
(2011)
This dissertation is devoted to the development of efficient, robust, and scalable distributed algorithms, which enable agents in a large-scale, multi-hop network to cooperatively compute a global quantity, or solve an ...
Effects of Perception Range of a Mobile Robot on Path Efficiency
(2011)
Path efficiency is the length of the path actually traversed versus the length of the optimal path. If a robot has complete knowledge of the terrain between it and its goal and unlimited time, then it is possible to plan ...
Effects of Insecticides on Postmortem Interval: Implications on Forensic Investigations
(2011)
Postmortem interval (PMI) is the length of time that occurs between death of a person and the subsequent discovery of the body. PMI can be determined in a variety of ways depending on how long the body has been exposed ...
Workload History and Anticipation: Effects on Task Performance and Subjective Stress
(2011)
Though previous research has demonstrated that a sudden change in workload can have negative performance outcomes, there has been little examination of factors that could minimize these effects. The purpose of the present ...
How Meteorologists Learn to Forecast the Weather: Social Dimensions of Complex Learning
(2011)
Weather and climate persistently affect individuals, corporations, and governments, sometimes in significant ways: a poor forecast leaves people unprepared to prevent damage or deal with disruptions to their daily routines, ...
MEASURING MONOMER-MICELLE EQUILIBRIUM BY USING SEMI-EQUILIBRIUM DIALYSIS
(2011)
Monomer-micelle equilibrium, the distribution of surfactant species between the monomer and the micelles in solution, dictates many important physical properties of surfactants. Although monomer-micelle equilibrium ...
STACKELBERG LEADERSHIP AND EFFECTIVENESS OF DEMAND DISRUPTION MANAGEMENT IN A THREE-TIER ELECTRONICS SUPPLY CHAIN
(2011)
Management of electronics supply chains has become increasingly complicated due to both a rising dependence on Contract Electronics Manufacturers (CEMs) and the increased dominance of retailing giants. This paper analyzes ...
