-
(1997)Radio frequency identification (RFID) is the process of acquiring information by use of electromagnetic energy. These systems are completely noncontact and often utilize microwave components. The need for smaller components, ...
-
(Water; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2019)A field-scale experimental study was conducted in Sub-Saharan Africa (Ethiopia and Ghana) to examine the effects of conservation agriculture (CA) with drip irrigation system on water productivity in vegetable home gardens. ...
-
(1976)The energy flux terms in the surface heat balance equation were computed using parameterizations and mean monthly temperature, precipitation, planetary albedo, cloudiness, and vapor pressure data for 85 very dry locations. ...
-
(1978)Weak clay minerals have been suggested as important members of fault gauge to explain aseismic creep. The Bombolakis silt-clay model seeks to account for aseismic creep and recurrent stress drops along natural faults by ...
-
(2017-04-25)This study investigated the aeroelastic mechanics of a flexible flapping wing designed and implemented on a two-winged, flapping wing, robotic hummingbird capable of hovering. The investigation focused first on measuring ...
-
(1985)The development of secondary porosity in many carbonate rocks appears to be associated closely with thermal maturation of hydrocarbons and plays an important role in their migration and accumulation. Unfortunately, ...
-
(2013-02-06)The RichtmyerMeshkov instability (RMI) is a hydrodynamic instability resulting from an impulsive acceleration of a density gradient. This instability was first described in the theoretical work of Richtmyer [2], and later ...
-
(2015-09-23)For many years, PET scanning devices have been effective in many areas of medicine, particularly in functional imaging and detection of cancer. However, the most common designs are costly, and could be made more efficient. ...
-
(2013-09-26)This study aims to improve upon the CAPM by showing that the beta risk value of a stock is mean reverting and this mean reverting tendency is caused by firms' growth. Ninety stocks categorized into three sets (small ...
-
Within an individual’s everyday life, there are vast amounts of effects caused by distractions that often go unnoticed. The unnoticed effects of interferences can include loss of information and confusion. In regards to ...

-
(2011-08-08)Translation has often been ignored or dismissed as an unimportant and theoretically impossible field. Scholars have proposed numerous theories attempting to explain, illustrate, and ultimately understand the process of ...
-
(2012-04-12)This paper discusses a possible link between visual discrepancy detection and intuitive processes. Intuitive processes are attributed to the experiential system, which is associated with affect and visual processing. Thus, ...
-
The focus of this research is to explore the possibility that Australasians contributed to modern indigenous South American populations during and after the time when the major peopling events of the Americas are thought ...
-
(2010-07-14)The primary intention of this project is to determine the driving factors that would encourage environmental responsibility on a college campus. After observing increases in "global average air and ocean temperatures," the ...
-
This paper contains research into efficient autonomous navigation algorithms powered by deep reinforcement learning. These algorithms enable a mobile robot to perform waypoint tracking in an indoor environment. The robot ...
-
(2009-06-09)Flash memory usage is becoming ever more prevalent in society today. It is being used in everything from portable data storage devices, portable music players, cell phones, and even solid-state (non-mechanical) computer ...
