Complex numbers and quaternions have a wide array of applications. This paper beginsby briefly going over the history of complex numbers and quaternions, bringing up little knownfacts on main discoverers. Then, we ...

The Application of Data Mining and Machine Learning in the Diagnosis of Mental Disorders 

Syed, Mohammed (2017-07-28)
Autism is a developmental disorder that is currently diagnosed using behavioral tests which can be subjective. Consequently, objective non-invasive imaging biomarkers of Autism are being actively researched. The common ...

An Application of Emotional Factors in Product Design 

Qu, Zhu (2020-07-28)
As the ever-increasing competitiveness in product design, functionality and usability is no longer being sufficiently effective differentiators in market place, user’s emotional experience plays a key role in purchase ...

The Application of Fit Characteristics to Mentor-Protege Relationships 

Brown, Victoria (2010-08-04)
To test the hypothesis that congruence of regulatory focus orientation would improve ratings of a mentor’s effectiveness by a protégé, 110 participants completed a two part study in which they interacted with a potential ...

Application of Generalized Hamiltonian Dynamics to Modified Coulomb Potential 

Camarena, Julian (2008-12-15)
We apply Dirac’s generalized Hamiltonian dynamics (GHD), a purely classical formalism, to spinless particles under the influence of a binomial potential. The integrals of the motion for this potential were chosen as the ...

Application of genome-wide association studies in channel catfish to identify QTL associated with hypoxia tolerance 

Wang, Xiaozhu (2017-03-07)
Catfish is the dominant aquaculture species in the United States. The production of the domestic catfish industry rapidly increased in the last two decades. However, as imported catfish from Southeast Asia have kept ...
