Dead Reckoning in a Desktop Virtual Environment
(2008-05-15)
Dead reckoning, knowing where one is in relation to a particular location without reference to external landmarks, is a widely cited phenomenon that has been observed in a wide variety of animals. A common test for dead ...
Deadland: A Cemetery Design in Columbus Georgia
(2014-05-02)
Cemeteries are sacred spaces that have the ability to evoke awareness, fear, awe, reverence,
memory and other high emotions that transcend the spatial. When one thinks about a cemetery,
it is often a mystifying space ...
The Debate between Federal and State Agencies on Recreational Red Snapper Fisheries Management in the Gulf of Mexico
(2015-07-27)
Red snapper is a pelagic species and one of the most popular recreational species in the GOM (Gulf of Mexico). The population of red snapper in the GOM has been in an overfished condition since 1988. In recent years, the ...
Decadencia, desigualdad y degeneración: El Madrid médico-social en La prostituta de López Bago
(2015-11-18)
La Prostituta (1884) es una novela médico social de Eduardo López Bago que nos presenta, sin tapujos, el Madrid de finales del siglo XIX. Los males de la época son introducidos a través de la crítica anticlerical y por ...
Decentralized Collaborative Navigation in Limited Observability Environments with Low Earth Orbit Satellite Signals of Opportunity between Aerial and Ground Vehicles
(2023-07-28)
A decentralized collaborative navigation algorithm known as inverse covariance intersection (ICI) is studied in the context of a group of vehicles navigating using opportunistic Doppler measurements. Signals of opportunity ...
Deception of Phishing: Studying the Techniques of Social Engineering by Analyzing Modern-day Phishing Attacks on Universities.
(2016-05-05)
Techniques applying manipulation, persuasion, and influence have been used for centuries to conduct malicious acts of crime against others. Social engineering is the act of using various manipulation techniques to get other ...
Decision Making Consequences of the Paradoxical Flip
(2010-07-19)
The hard-easy manipulation (i.e., manipulation of item difficulty) has been used to demonstrate that participants are sometimes overconfident while believing they are worse than average. This finding is often referred to ...
Decision Making Models for Power Systems Operations Under Uncertainty
(2023-08-02)
As the power grids worldwide transition from fossil fuel-based power plants to an era dominated by renewable energy sources (RESs), new operational challenges and uncertainties emerge, particularly for Independent System ...
Decision Models for a Two-Stage Supply Chain Planning under Uncertainty with Time-sensitive Shortages and Real Option Approach
(2010-03-23)
The primary objective of this research is to develop analytical models for typical supply
chain situations to help inventory decision-makers. We also derive closed form solutions
for each model and reveal several ...
A decision support system for biorefinery location and logistics
(2009-05-01)
The use of forest biomass, a renewable resource, as a source of fuels or chemicals is hindered by logistics. Economic success of the bioenergy concepts and their products may also depend on the solution to the logistics ...
A Decision Support Tool: Integrating Wildlife Occupancy Models with Stand Projections
(2011-08-16)
With the increase in consumptive trends of wood products there is greater push for ecosystem management. Ecosystem management is a process that aims to conserve major ecological services and restore natural resources while ...
Decomposing Graphs With Two Associate Classes Into Paths Of Length 3 And The Intersection Problem Of Latin Rectangles
(2018-07-24)
In this thesis, the decomposition problem of graphs with two associate classes into paths
of length 3 is completely settled. The intersection problem for latin rectangles is completely
solved as well. In addition, an ...
Decomposition of Coarse Woody Debris and Microbial Biomass in Tidal Freshwater Forested Wetlands along a River to Estuary Gradient on the Apalachicola River in Florida
(2011-04-07)
Decomposition dynamics of mass, carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorous (P) as well as downed woody debris biomass and microbial biomass were assayed along a river to estuary gradient in wetlands alongside the Apalachicola ...
Decomposition of Complete Tri-Partite Graphs into 5-Cycles
(2013-04-16)
E. S. Mahmoodian gave necessary conditions for when the edges of a complete tripartite graph can be partitioned so that each set in the partition induces a 5-cycle. Since then, he, N. J. Cavenagh, E. J. Billington, S. ...
Decontamination of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella in Lettuce, Chicken, and Apples by Chlorine Dioxide and Ultrasound
(2005-12-15)
Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) has been used for many years by the food industry and public water suppliers as a sanitizing and disinfecting agents. The mechanisms of microbial inactivation by ultrasonication are mainly due to ...
Decreasing Lead Bioaccessibility In Soils With Phosphate Amendments
(2006-08-15)
Ingestion of Pb-contaminated soil has been proposed as a primary exposure pathway for elevated blood Pb levels in young children (Dudka and Miller, 1999). Children are often exposed to soils contaminated with toxic metals ...
Dedekind Domains and the P-rank of Ext
(2017-04-21)
We address what can be said of torsion-free finite rank modules $A$ and $B$ over a Dedekind domain $R$ when their Ext's are isomorphic, extending an answer to Fuchs' Problem 43 and its dual by Goeters. We obtain a result ...
Deep genetic divergence in the Deep South: An integrative approach to species delimitation reveals the paraphyletic nature of speciation in the trapdoor spider genus Cyclocosmia.
(2018-01-09)
Mygalomorph spiders house an incredible amount of cryptic genetic information, making them an excellent model for species delimitation. An integrative approach to species delimitation uses multiple lines of evidence to ...
Deep Integration of a Flight Vehicle Dynamic Model in a Vector Tracking Software Defined Receiver
(2024-01-04)
The greater occurrence of signal interference on Global Navigation Satellite Systems
