Uncertainty Propagation in Hypersonic Flight Dynamics and Comparison of Different Methods
(2010-01-16)
In this work we present a novel computational framework for analyzing evolution
of uncertainty in state trajectories of a hypersonic air vehicle due to uncertainty in
initial conditions and other system parameters. The ...
Variability of Grain Arsenic Concentration and Speciation in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)
(2011-02-22)
Arsenic is not an essential element and can be toxic to both plants and animals in high
concentration. There is a demonstrated association between soil arsenic (As) and the
occurrence of straighthead (a physiological ...

(2011-02-22)
Bilingual education in the United States has been at the forefront of educational politics and debates since its inception. Arguments over language of instruction and program goals overshadow the deeper philosophical, ...
Daily Time Step Simulation with a Priority Order Based Surface Water Allocation Model
(2011-02-22)
Surface water availability models often use monthly simulation time
steps for reasons of data availability, model parameter parsimony, and reduced
computational time. Representing realistic streamflow variability, ...
The Weapons of the "True Warfaring Christian": Right Reason and Free Will in Seventeenth-Century Literature
(2010-01-14)
Milton writes in Areopagitica of the "true warfaring Christian" who can "apprehend and consider vice with all her baits and seeming pleasures, and yet abstain, and yet distinguish, and yet prefer that which is truly better." ...
EFFECTS OF CHANGES IN U.S. ETHANOL PRODUCTION FROM CORN GRAIN, CORN STOVER, AND SWITCHGRASS ON WORLD AGRICULTURAL MARKETS AND TRADE
(2010-07-14)
The renewable energy industry continues to expand at a rapid pace. New

on foreign oil. The evolution of these new biofuel markets could ...
Decomposition Based Solution Approaches for Multi-product Closed-Loop Supply Chain Network Design Models
(2010-01-16)
Closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) management provides opportunity for cost
savings through the integration of product recovery activities into traditional supply
chains. Product recovery activities, such as remanufacturing, ...
The Function and Genetic Interactions of Zebrafish atoh1 and sox2: Genes Involved in Hair Cell Development and Regeneration
(2010-10-12)
The sensory cells of the inner ear, hair cells, provide vertebrates with the ability
to detect auditory stimuli and balance. In mammals, cochlear hair cells, those
responsible for hearing, do not regenerate. Zebrafish ...
