Decreasing Lead Bioaccessibility In Soils With Phosphate Amendments 

Moseley, Rebecca (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 

James, Daniel (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. 

Bourguignon, Kellie (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 

Miller, Noah (2024-01-04)
The greater occurrence of signal interference on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) requires additional alternative navigation solutions to provide robust, reliable localization of flight vehicles when measurements ...

Deep Learned Multi-Modal Traffic Agent Predictions for Truck Platooning Cut-Ins 

Douglass, Samuel Jr (2020-05-18)
Recent advances in Driver-Assisted Truck Platooning (DATP) have shown success in linking multiple trucks in leader-follower platoons using Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC). Such setups allow for closer spacing ...

Deep Learning Methods Using Levenberg-Marquardt with Weight Compression and Discrete Cosine Transform Spectral Pooling 

Smith, James (2018-04-18)
State-of-the-Art Machine Learning methods achieve powerful results on practical problems in all data-driven industries. As these methods are improved, the hardware and training time necessary to implement them have grown ...

Deep Learning, Neural Networks and Aerospace Applications 

Liting, Zhou (2018-11-15)
The ability to rack an enemy missile while in-flight, whether to accurately predict the point of impact (POI), the point of origin (POO) or to destroy the missile in-flight, is greatly enhanced if the missile type and/or ...
