In the study of vacuum energy and the Casimir effect, it proves convenient to model the parallel conducting plates by a “soft” wall of the form v(z) = z^α rather than the standard Dirichlet wall. This model, for instance, ...
-
(2017-04-28)Smart windows have attracted interest as a method of reducing the energy consumption of buildings. These smart windows would be able to reflect and transmit infrared (IR) light in response to ambient temperature, while ...
-
(2013-09-19)The Implicit Monte Carlo (IMC) method is widely used for simulating thermal radiative transfer and solving the radiation transport equation. During an IMC run a grid network is constructed and particles are sourced into ...
-
(2014-09-15)The Antarctic Dipole (ADP) is a dipole-like pattern seen in various atmospheric and oceanic variables between the Atlantic and Pacific sectors of the Southern Ocean, respectively. It has been used to infer teleconnections ...
-
Roughly half of the eukaryotic genome is under the control of a circadian clock at the level of transcript abundance, with rhythmic transcripts peaking at all possible phases of the day. However, the mechanism for phase ...
-
(2014-09-19)Traditional VTOL aircraft engines use thrusts of air to lift the aircraft straight up and allow them to hover, take off, and land vertically. In this enhanced vertical lift engine design, the direction of incoming air flow ...
-
(2013-02-11)With the advent of ferromagnetic materials for magnetic memory among other applications, increased attention has been given to understanding the properties of these ferromagnets. Here, a vertically aligned nanocomposite ...
-
(2021-04-27)Despite the rapidly growing popularity of video games, their ideology remains a disputed and controversial topic. This paper examines several influential games through postcolonial and Brechtian lenses, in order to provide ...
-
(2012-05-03)This study focuses on the detection and triangulation of sound sources. Specifically, we focus on the detection of sound in order to track a person’s position with a video camera. Acoustic tracking, an alternative to ...

(2013-09-25)This research project will delve into a field of art history not well documented, contemporary Muslims artists. Specifically, this research project will examine the work of Shahzia Sikander, a Muslim artist native to ...
-
(2019-04-22)Throughout the ancient world, there have been numerous occurrences of human sacrifice performed by ancient cultures that have been proven in the archaeological record. The scope of this research will focus on the Moche ...
-
In the age of fast growing technology, massive storage, and cluster computing, efficient big-data processing algorithms are in high demand. MapReduce is one of the programming models that enables massive-scale cluster ...
-
A new design for virtual patching applications is presented for software defined network environments. Based on OpenFlow implementation, a software defined network can be programmed to intelligently detect threats and ...
-
The main objective of the project is to provide a Virtual Reality (VR) representation for robotic simulations using a game engine software such as Unity. It is useful to an ongoing research on testing the compatibility of ...
-
(2018-04-30)Viruses are among the most abundant biological entities in the world, numbering approximately 4x1030 in the ocean alone. Despite the inherent importance of viruses, aspects of host preferences and specificity within the ...
-
(2020-04-21)The purpose of this research is to analyze volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of developing flower buds (squares) and immature fruits (bolls) of cotton plants (Gossypium hirsutum L.) when treated with plant associated fungi ...
-
(2019-05-01)The internet brought humanity closer together in ways that were never thought possible and reaching loved ones around the globe became instantaneous. Due to this increase in the ease communicating, the world saw the amounts ...
-
Voter support of transgender candidates is a very important sign to see the level of support for transgender people. This support is important because it goes against the negative perspectives that many people have for ...
-
(2014-08-07)Many biologists rely on environmental niche modeling to predict where species will migrate upon imminent climate changes. These coarse-scale approaches base species’ movements on variables such as temperature, habitat, and ...
