Adaptive Distributed Source Coding Based on Bayesian Inference
(2015-08-14)
Distributed Source Coding (DSC) is an important topic for both in information theory and communication. DSC utilizes the correlations among the sources to compress data, and it has the advantages of being simple and easy ...
Performance, Analysis, and Interpretation in the Solo Double Bass Works of Johanna Magdalena Beyer and Vivian Fine
(2015-05-08)
Though musical works worthy of study and performance, Johanna Magdalena Beyer’s 1936 Movement for Double Bass and Piano and Vivian Fine’s 1964 Melos for solo double bass have been neglected by both performers and scholars. ...
BAYESIAN KERNEL METHODS FOR THE RISK ANALYSIS AND RESILIENCE MODELING OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEMS
(2015-08-14)
The protection of critical infrastructures has recently garnered attention with an emphasis on analyzing the risk and improving the resilience of such systems. With the abundance of data, risk managers should be able to ...
GAIT PERFORMANCE AND CONTROL OF A PROSTHETIC ANKLE JOINT FOR BELOW-KNEE AMPUTEES
(2015)
Traumatic events such as accidents or vascular and circulatory disorders often lead to amputation of the lower limb below the knee joint. The surgery is followed by fitting of a prosthetic device and rehabilitation process ...
METAL OXIDE NANOPARTICLES: WETTABILITY MODIFICATION FOR EMULSION STABILIZATION AND ELECTROSTATICALLY INDUCED GELATION
(2015)
Mixtures of fumed metal oxide nanoparticles (np’s) dispersed in water, at a solution pH where one species is positively charged and the other is negatively charged, form pseudo-solid gels at volume fractions as low as 1.5 ...
Metal-Enhanced Fluorescence of Gold Nanoparticle and Quantum Dot Incorporated Silica Nanoparticle Aggregates
(2015)
The enhancement of fluorescence intensity due to the proximity of metal nanoparticles is of great interest in enabling the detection of low concentration biomarkers. Although the recent developments in the optical sensor ...

This document is a study guide to aid the teacher and student in performing Jacques Delécluse’s Twelve Studies for the Drum. It is intended to foster an understanding of the etudes from not only a technical but also a ...
SOCIAL BOUNDARIES BETWEEN CERAMIC DESIGN PRODUCTION GROUPS AT CLASSIC MIMBRES SITES, A.D. 1000-1130
(2015-05-05)
The identification of social boundaries relies on the presumption that differences between production groups only reliably manifest in aspects of material culture that are not overt, because the more rote a choice made in ...
