Coaxial Probe for High Temperature Dielectric Characterization

Grady, Michael (2010-07-06)

Wireless technologies have become an integral part in how we coexist on a daily basis. Specifically, the use of antenna systems plays a huge role in our daily lives. These antenna systems are largely used in some form for ...

Coefficient Space Properties and a Schur Algebra Generalization

Turner, David (2005-12-15)

Let K be an infinite field and Gamma = GL_(n)(K). If we linearly extend the natural action of Gamma on the set E of n-dimensional column vectors over K to the group algebra KGamma, then E becomes a KGamma-module. We then ...

Cogent: A Coherence-Driven Cognitive Agent Modeling and Simulation Framework

Sivaraj, Sunit (2018-04-16)

Agent based modeling is an effective methodology for understanding complex cognitive systems through generative mechanisms that explain emergent behavior. However, most agent modeling languages use general-purpose imperative ...

Cognate recognition

Aguinaga Echeverria, Silvia (2012-05-17)

This study is focused on cognate recognition. First, a new classification of cognates (English/Spanish) based on orthographic, phonological and semantic similarities between words have been proposed-identical, similar, and ...

Cognitive development of detection dogs

Lazarowski, Lucia (2018-07-24)

The question of the extent to which cognitive capabilities predict future outcomes has been long pursued across several species. Also of interest are the evolutionary implications of the comparative study of cognitive ...

Cognitive Impairment and Its Consequences on Health among Breast Cancer Patients

Alatawi, Yasser (2018-07-24)

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to 1) examine the impact of preexisting cognitive impairment on survival and chronic medication adherence among older adults with breast cancer, 2) examine the association between ...

A Cognitive Model and Gaze-Based Evaluation of Multiple Representation use during Program Comprehension and Debugging

Hejmady, Prateek (2011-11-28)

Integrated Development Environments (IDE) for software development offer a wide variety of software visualization tools, which facilitate navigation and analysis, and generate multiple graphical presentations of program ...

Cognitive Processing Themes for Smoking among Lesbians

Aholt, Erin (2008-08-15)

This study explored perceptions of motivation for smoking among lesbians. A convenience sample of 20 participants completed an online survey with 18 open-ended, reflection questions about their perceptions of the relationships ...

Cognitive Scaling, Emotions, Team Identity and Future Behavioural Intentions: An Examination of Sporting Event Venues

Martin, David (2007-08-15)

Sporting event venues represent a unique segment of the overall tourism industry that has, in recent times, started to gain limited interest from researchers (Madrigal, 2000; Theodorakis, Kambitsis, Laios & Koustelios, ...

Coinfection dynamics of experimentally challenged channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus)

Wise, Allison (2023-04-28)

Catfish farming is the largest sector of the U.S. aquaculture industry and is of paramount economic importance for Southern U.S. agriculture. Maintaining and improving catfish health is a primary concern for producers, and ...

Cold Cathode Materials for Pseudospark Switches

Li, Shaomao (2010-04-14)

In general, for plasma switches, the initiation of the plasma is critical and this is usually achieved by a “trigger” scheme. The seed electrons needed to initiate a breakdown can be generated by several means such as ...

Cold Cathodes for Applications in Poor Vacuum and Low Pressure Gas Environments: Carbon Nanotubes Versus Zinc Oxide Nanoneedles

Cheng, An-Jen (2006-05-15)

Effects of gas pressure on the electron field emission (FE) properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoneedles and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were investigated. The FE properties for ZnO nanoneedles almost fully recovered after being ...

Cold Metal Transfer-Gas Metal Arc Welding (CMT-GMAW) Wire + Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) Process Control Implementation

Hunko, Wesley (2018-04-13)

While additive manufacturing is comprised of metal and polymer fabrication, current additively manufactured polymer-based products are much further from being put into industrial applications. Metal-based additive ...

Collaboration and Competition in Interest-Driven Cyber Ecosystems

Hou, Jing (2021-12-08) ETD File Embargoed

The next-generation cyber ecosystems are characterized by novel distributed paradigms composed of various network entities, such as individuals, devices, and software. The efficiency, scalability, and security of the systems ...

Collaborative Architectures for Relative Position Estimation of Ground Vehicles with UWB Ranging and Vehicle Dynamic Models

Jones, Benjamin (2022-12-09)

The relative position to neighboring vehicles is critical to ongoing autonomy efforts including collision avoidance and path planning; therefore, it should not be fully dependent on an external reference such as GPS. ...

Collaborative Marketing Enterprises: Local Food Exchange and the Promise of Sustainability

Lowe, Mecca (2009-11-19)

Direct marketing by small-scale, organically-oriented farmers in the United States has risen in popularity in recent decades in the form of farmers markets, Community Supported Agriculture, roadside stands and U-pick ...
