On Consistent Mapping in Distributed Environments using Mobile Sensors
(2011-10-21)
The problem of robotic mapping, also known as simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), by a mobile agent for large distributed environments is addressed in this dissertation. This has sometimes been referred to as the ...
Effects of Exogenously Applied Indole-3-Acetic Acid (IAA) to Cotton
(2011-08-08)
There is a need in the cotton industry for cultivars with enhanced lint yield potential and high-quality fiber properties. Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is a phytohormone that is predominantly responsible for cell elongation ...
Government Regulations and Housing Markets: An Index to Characterize Local Land Use Regulatory Environments for Residential Markets in the Houston - Galveston Area
(2012-07-16)
Affordability continues to be a major challenge for housing in America. According to the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University (JCHS), in 2006, 57 million households were moderately and severely cost ...
Productivity Roadmap for the Architecture/Engineering/Construction Industry
(2012-10-19)
The construction industry is one of the largest industries in the United States and has major influence on the nation's economy. While there is information about industry-wide labor productivity, there has been very little ...
Numerical Investigation of Fractured Reservoir Response to Injection/Extraction Using a Fully Coupled Displacement Discontinuity Method
(2011-10-21)
In geothermal reservoirs and unconventional gas reservoirs with very low matrix permeability, fractures are the main routes of fluid flow and heat transport, so the fracture permeability change is important. In fact, ...
Case Studies on Variation Tolerant and Low Power Design Using Planar Asymmetric Double Gate Transistor
(2011-10-21)
In nanometer technologies, process variation control and low power have emerged as
the first order design goal after high performance. Process variations cause high variability
in performance and power consumption of an ...
Design Of A 20MHz Transimpedance Amplifier With Embedded Low-pass Filter For A Direct Conversion Wireless Receiver
(2011-10-21)
Accelerated growth in wireless communications in recent years has led to the emergence of portable devices that employ several wireless communication standards to provide multiple functionality such as cellular communication, ...
Automatic Seedpoint Selection and Tracing of Microstructures in the Knife-Edge Scanning Microscope Mouse Brain Data Set
(2011-10-21)
The Knife-Edge Scanning Microscope (KESM) enables imaging of an entire mouse brain at sub-micrometer resolution. By using the data sets from the KESM, we can trace the neuronal and vascular structures of the whole mouse ...
Life Exposures to Traumatic Events and Chronic Strains Among Older Mexican-Origin Individuals
(2012-10-19)
The United States Latino population has experienced unprecedented growth in the past several decades. Despite these growing numbers there has been relatively little research that explores how exposure to negative life ...
Role of Programmed Cell Death in Disease Development of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum
(2012-02-14)
Plant programmed cell death (PCD) is an essential process in plant-pathogen interactions. Importantly, PCD can have contrasting effects on the outcome depending on context. For example, plant PCD in plant-biotroph interactions ...
