Real-Time Hybrid Simulation Study of a Rolling Pendulum Equipment Isolation System
(2021-05-14)Damage caused by earthquakes to buildings and their contents (e.g., sensitive equipment) can impact life safety and disrupt business operations following an event. The resulting social and economic losses can be minimized, ... -
REALISTIC MODELING OF HANDOVER EVENTS IN A MULTI-CARRIER 5G NETWORK: A PRELIMINARY STEP TOWARDS COP-KPI RELATIONSHIP REALIZATION
(2020-05-08)The ever-increasing demand for mobile data traffic along with new use cases are set to make the current cellular network technology obsolete and give rise to a newer and better one in the form of 5G. This arising technology ... -
Reality Television Viewing and Peer-Directed Relational Aggression in Emerging Adulthood
(2024-05-10)Relational aggression is a form of aggression characterized by harming or attempting to harm an individual’s social relationships. Previous research has identified a link between the consumption of relationally aggressive ... -
RECLASSIFICATION OF CLOSTRIDIUM CLUSTER XVIII AND DESCRIPTION OF THREE NOVEL TAXA WITHIN THE GRAM-POSITIVE ANAEROBIC COCCI
(2018-07-06)Current taxonomic classification approaches employ a polyphasic approach to characterize novel species. Most study morphological and biochemical characteristics along with chemotaxonomic characteristics to aid in the general ... -
Reconfigurable filter design using liquid metal actuation
(2021-05-14)The emergence of technologies such as 5G, IoT, automotive radar, wireless power transfer, broadband satellite internet, and more has increased the number of devices operating and transmitting in the radio frequency (RF) ... -
A RECORD OF MID-LATITUDE DUSTINESS IN A CARBONIFEROUS-PERMIAN CARBONATE RAMP ON CENTRAL SPITSBERGEN
(2018)This study focuses on a mid-latitude dust record from the Wordiekammen Formation, a carbonate ramp on Spitsbergen. The ramp developed on the Northern Pangean margin in Moscovian (Carboniferous) through Sakmarian (Permian) ... -
Recording and Replaying User Intentions in Coordinated Multiple View Visualizations
(2016-08-12)Visualization tools help people gain insights into data. Analysts often want to revisit and review previously visited visualization states to make sense of their previous observations. Browsing a history of visualization ... -
