Multimedia Streaming Rate Optimization in Peer-to-peer Network
(2011-08-22)
The recent advancement in compression techniques
and networking technologies have resulted in
wide deployment of novel content distribution applications. These applications enable the
end-users to have ubiquitous access ...
Modeling Temperature and Dissolved Oxygen in the Cheatham Reservoir with CE-QUAL-W2
(2011-08-03)
Water quality modeling is being used increasingly by decision-making agencies, such as the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), as a tool to predict the behavior of changing water systems. This study documents ...
Infrared neural stimulation of Aplysia californica
(2011-08-08)
Infrared neural stimulation (INS) has been shown to induce neural activity with spatial selectivity without inducing a stimulation artifact or necessitating tissue contact. Most experiments with this technology have been ...
Dopamine sensing with carbon nanotubes and graphite electrodes
(2011-08-08)
The superior material properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) such as high aspect ratio, high surface area, superb mechanical properties, thermal and chemical stability have generated enormous research activities to push for ...
A behavioral study of emotional reactivity and emotion regulation in preschool-age children who stutter
(2011-08-08)
The purpose of this study was to experimentally investigate the behavioral correlates of emotional reactivity and emotion regulation and their relation to speech (dis)fluency in preschool-age children who do (CWS) and do ...
A Role for Tie1 in Late Gestational Semilunar Valve Development
(2011-08-16)
Evaluation of late events in cardiovascular development is precluded mid-gestational embryonic lethality associated with most traditional endothelial specific gene knockouts. Thus, it has not been possible to study late ...
Distal regulation of the interferon gamma locus
(2011-08-17)
In metazoans, developmentally regulated genes depend upon cis-regulatory elements for cell-type specific and heritable transcription. By employing a BAC transgenic system, I demonstrate the function of the noncoding region ...
A Novel Finite Element Inverse Analysis to Assess Bone Fracture Healing
(2011-08-23)
Assessment of the restoration of load-bearing function is the central goal in the study of bone fracture healing. However, bone fracture calluses are inhomogeneous and irregular materials and this complexity has led to ...
Location Recognition Using a Very High Dimensional Feature Space
(2011-08-26)
This work is focused on creating an autonomous location recognition system that is capable of determining its location based on the percepts observed in the environment. This process involves segmenting the percepts in ...
Luminescence activity as a biosensor of isobutyraldehyde production in cyanobacteria
(2011-08-15)
With the world’s increasing energy demands, there exists a tremendous need for the development and industrialization of energy-dense biofuels. Metabolically engineered cyanobacteria provide a promising means, as the utility ...
