(2023-08-01)
Black women have combatted hegemonic forces that forced them into chattel slavery and other forms oppression by using needle, thread, patterns, and design for centuries (Tobin & Dobard, 1999). Working through needle, thread, ...
k-star Decompositions of Lambda-Fold Complete Multipartite Graphs
(2007-08-15)
We examine the problem of k-star decompositions on lambda-fold complete multipartite
graphs. After a brief examination of the computational complexity issues involved, we
present complete proofs for necessary and sufficient ...
K4-e Designs with a Hole
(2010-07-27)
In this paper we look at K4 − e designs on Kw−v + v. We settle the case when w and v
are of the same parity.
Kalman Filter Based Tracking Algorithms For Software GPS Receivers

In this thesis several new Kalman filter based tracking algorithms for GPS software
receivers are presented. Traditional receivers use Costas loops and Delay Lock Loops
(DLL) to track the carrier and Pseudo-Random Noise ...
KATG as a Defense Against Hydrogen Peroxide Toxicity: From a Redundant C-Terminal Domain to the Paradoxical Synergy of Two Mutually Antagonistic Activities
(2014-12-09)
Catalase-peroxidases (KatGs), first discovered in 1979, are heme-dependent enzymes mainly found in bacteria, archaea and fungi. They are capable of decomposing H2O2 by catalatic and peroxidatic pathways. KatG has garnered ...
