COMPONENT IMPORTANCE OF MULTI-COMMODITY NETWORKS
(2016)Preparedness planning for critical infrastructure networks requires evaluating the impact to the network when its components are disrupted. We extend the well-studied problem of component importance measures in single-commodity ... -
Components of episodic memory: connecting human behavior and electrophysiology to a rodent model
(2017-07)Episodic memory encoding and retrieval rely on integration of information about what an item was, as well as when and where it was encountered. Previous research from animal lesion studies using a novelty preference ... -
Comprehensive Reservoir Characterization of the Woodford Shale in Parts of Garfield and Kingfisher Counties, Oklahoma
(2016-12)This research is a comprehensive characterization of the Woodford Shale within an area of six townships and ranges located at the boundary of Garfield and Kingfisher Counties in Oklahoma. The methods of the Woodford Shale ... -
COMPRESSED EARTH BLOCK (CEB) TECHNOLOGY IN SELF-HELP HOUSING: A Potential Solution to Affordable Housing Crisis in sub-Saharan Africa?
(2019-05-10)Compressed earth block (CEB) technology creates a platform for connecting the idea of ‘self-help’ to affordable housing crisis in sub-Saharan African countries. CEB technology in self-help housing provides a sustainable ... -
Compressing Massive Sequencing Data with Multiple Attribute Tree
(2019-12-13)The significant drop in DNA Sequencing costs caused by Next-Generation Sequencing has led to the production of massive amounts of raw sequencing data. This data is stored in FASTQ files, which are text files containing a ... -
A Computational Framework to Foster Sustainable Rural Development in Indian Off-Grid Villages
(2020-05-08)Social problems are wicked problems. Wicked problems are very complex as there is no definitive solution due to its incompleteness. To achieve sustainable rural development, it is necessary to consider the wicked nature ... -
Computational investigations of a shape‐memory polymer foam embolization device for intracranial aneurysms
(2021)The objective of this research is to determine the efficacy of an intracranial aneurysm treatment option. An open‐source computational fluid dynamics software is used to simulate blood flow through 6 patient‐specific ... -
Concept questions with peer-led vs. teacher-led discussions in a high school physics course
(2011)Introductory physics classes attempt to guide students while they develop the mental structures and schema necessary to consistently apply the Newtonian concept of force to various situations. Science education research ... -
Conceptual Differences of RUME and non-RUME students
(2019-12)How do people read RUME papers? This may be a difficult question to answer, because “mathematics education research involves the application of the methods of an established discipline that research can come complete with ... -
The Concern about Losing Face and Social Anxiety: The Mediating Roles of Self-Compassion and Autonomy
(2023-12-15)Social anxiety is a prevalent mental health challenge among college students. Prior research has documented various antecedents of social anxiety, with one of them being the concern about losing face. Yet, less is known ... -
Concurrent two-phase flow of liquids and air through inclined pipe
(1959)The concurrent flow of two phases through a pipe has been the object of increased study in recent years as a result of its recognized importance. It is well established that when a liquid phase and a gas phase flow ... -
Confederacy, Republic (Again), or Both? The Print Media and The Moment of Decision in Harris, Harrison, Dallas, and Bexar Counties, 1860-1861
(2020-05-08)Barely a week after the presidential election of 1860, the Houston Tri-Weekly Telegraph expressed its support for the re-establishment of the Republic of Texas. Indeed, Texas seceded on February 1, 1861, but the Texas ... -
CONNECTIVITIES OF VARIOUS COMPONENTS IN ORGANIC-RICH SHALE
(2019)The physical properties of shale are fundamentally controlled by its microstructure. Connectivity of various components in shale is an important property that governs the transport of mass, energy and momentum. Quantifying ... -
Considering the exceptions: How should leaders think about experience?
(2018-12-14)Prior research suggests that leaders produce their best and most impactful solutions to organizational problems when they use relatively simple mental models. A critical question which remains, however, is how do leaders ... -
CONSTRAINING INITIATION OF RIFTING IN A MAGMA POOR SYSTEM: LAKE TANGANYIKA
(2024-05-11)The Lake Tanganyika rift is commonly cited as a modern analog for early stages of continental rifting. It lies within the western branch of the East African Rift system (EARS). The modern Tanganyika rift consists of distinct ... -
A Constraint Driven Approach to Neural and Muscle Recruitment in Wrist Motor Tasks
(2020-07-30)The transformation from visual stimulus to muscle recruitment is a non- linear one: it must take into account the configuration of the body and the lines of action of the muscles. The primary cortex plays a role in the ... -
Constraint of Vegetation Photosynthesis and Respiration Model (VPRM) Parameter Uncertainty Using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) Technique
(2023-05-12)Modeling the changes to the carbon cycle and their effects on the atmosphere is a key area of research for understanding climate change. The Vegetation Photosynthesis and Respiration Model (VPRM) is a light-use efficiency ... -
