This paper summarizes hardware and software changes made to the latest version of the Survivor Buddy, specifically regarding the addition of motor burnout prevention systems and the implementation of behavior tracking and ...
-
This goal of this thesis is to present a correlation between the didactic war trials of two men following the demise of Nazi Germany, and the ability of society to meet a prescribed list of learning outcomes for the trials. ...
-
Laws protecting the right to carry a concealed handgun on college campuses have been passed in eleven states to date, March 25, 2017, and additional states are considering similar legislation. A primary intent of these ...
-
(2012-04-26)Drosophila melanogaster larvae have historically been targeted as favorable models for the study of chemosensation and chemosensory learning due to the relative simplicity of their neuroanatomy. Sugars are traditionally ...
-
With the rise of reinforcement learning, a number of physics engines and frameworks have been used to simulate virtual environments. Additionally, various benchmarks have been popularized in order to assess the ability of ...
-
(2018-04-24)Traditional techniques used to determine neuron activity in cognitive function, such as penetrating or surface-mounted electrodes, severely limit the comprehensive study of the brain. Such methods confound thermal effects, ...
-
Neural Networks play an important role in real-time object detection. Several types of networks are being developed in order to perform such detections at a faster pace. One such neural network that can prove useful is the ...
-
(2013-10-04)The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) uses silicon and germanium detectors in the search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMP), a candidate for dark matter. Although these detectors are heavily protected with ...
-
(2012-07-11)This study examined the influence of handedness and reading/writing direction on the facing and sequencing of drawn objects and/or scenes and on orientation preference in viewing figures and photographing objects. Right- ...
-
(1984)The initial goal of this research was to develop design specifications for one section of Arlington's generalized work order system, the City Service System. However, during November of 1983 the city planners decided to ...
-
(2015-10-06)Haptic devices are devices that emulate the sense of touch through a force feedback mechanism that enables users to physically interact with virtual objects. This supplementary element of interaction allows users to ...
-
All divers—regardless of skill or activity—are constantly at risk of decompression sickness; mild symptoms can often go ignored, and can also be deadly if left untreated. Currently, divers receive training and carry a dive ...
-
(2012-04-22)Tactile navigation systems employ the use of ones sense of touch with haptic feedback to communicate directions. This type of navigation presents a potentially faster and more accurate mode of navigation than preexisting ...
-
Some problems are best solved by systems of multiple robots, in which each robot is assigned one task. A multi-robot system can, upon the start of a series of tasks, compute the optimal task allocation for best performance ...
-
Skeletal muscle tissue exhibits many plastic properties, changing its size or function in response to a variety of stressors. This adaptability is due, in part, to satellite cells, a type of multipotent adult stem cell ...
-
We present methods for harvesting wireless energy as low as -30 dBm (1uW) from the 2.4 GHz frequency range (e.g. WiFi signals) with discrete components. We have constructed a proof-of-concept device which is capable of ...

(Private Enterprise Research Center, Texas A&M University; Texas A&M University. Library, 2020-03-10)Does the Federal Reserve have an “information advantage� in forecasting macroeconomic variables beyond what is known to private sector forecasters? And are market participants reacting only to monetary policy shocks ...
