Redrawing the Maps for the Transfer of Writing Skills and Knowledge
(2015-07-30)
This research examines the case studies of two participants, students at a large land-grant university, as they transfer their knowledge of writing skills and practices across contexts as evidence of the shifting nature ...
A Reduced Element Map Representation and Applications: Map Merging, Path Planning, and Target Interception
(2017-07-25)
Modern autonomous systems require complex and heavy computations. The complexity can be reduced by eliminating or integrating redundant information. In the case of mobile vehicles, occupancy grid map representations are ...
Reducing ATE Test Time by Voltage and Frequency Scaling
(2014-03-20)
During wafer sort, the fabricated chips are subjected to tests that verify if they meet the design specification. Test application time plays a critical role while verifying large volume of dice in a given period of time. ...
Reducing Cribbing Frequency in Horses Through Dietary Supplementation of Tryptophan and Calcium Carbonate
(2006-05-15)
Cribbing is an equine stereotypy that results in damage to both the horse and the facilities. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that has calming effects on many animals’ behavior (Fernstrum, 1994). It has been shown that ...
Reducing Topramezone Injury to Bermudagrass Utilizing Micronutrients
(2020-12-01)
Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L. Pers.) is one of the most common turfgrass species planted throughout the United States on golf courses, home lawns, and sports fields. Bermudagrass is able to tolerate a wide variety of ...
Reducing Uncertainties in Coupled Carbon-water Cycle Predictions in the Southeastern United States Using Perturbed Parameter Experiments and Machine Learning Approaches
(2023-11-28)
Carbon-water cycle interactions are considerably uncertain in the climate models. Parameter sensitivity studies are extensively utilized to reduce uncertainty in hydrological predictions. However, because of its high ...
Reduction of Lead Free Solder Aging Effects Using Doped SAC Alloys
(2012-10-08)
The microstructure, mechanical response, and failure behavior of lead free solder joints in electronic assemblies are constantly evolving when exposed to isothermal aging and/or thermal cycling environments. Large ...
Reduction of Soil Compaction in a Cotton and Peanut Rotation Using Conservation Systems
(2008-08-15)
Southern Coastal plain soils have a long history of intensive continuous monoculture cropping, and are highly weathered due to geoclimatic conditions. These soils pose a challenge to the adoption of conservation agriculture ...
"Reeled in and Warmly Socketed": Mass Mediated Identity of the Contemporary Literary Figure
(2010-05-05)
In the literature of a globalized twenty and twenty-first century world, mass media
help to shape characters’ perceptions of selfhood and agency. As media forms are
incorporated into the daily lives of characters, important ...
Reevaluating Sexual Satisfaction through an Expectancy Lens: Validation of the Sexual Activity Frequency and Expectation Scale
(2010-12-03)
The method by which sexual satisfaction is conceptualized and measured varies widely across settings (e.g., research settings vs. clinical settings). However, consistent across settings is the use of inherently subjective ...
A Reexamination of the Structure of Scientific Revolution and Application: The Rise of Mathematical Economics
