(2021-04-22)
Many factors have been found to affect farmers’ adoption of new technologies by different authors, which include farmers’ interaction with extension services and socio-economic characteristics of farmers. This study ...
Extensions of Monotonicity Results to Semisimple Lie Groups
(2016-05-05)
We extend a monotonicity result of Wang and Gong on the product of powers of positive definite matrices. This result concerns the eigenvalues of such products which written as vectors have a log majorization relationship. ...
The Extent and Limitations of Correlating Measured Interharmonics and Measured Voltage Fluctuations
(2015-12-10)
Amplitude modulation is a well-known cause of voltage fluctuations resulting in luminous lamp flicker. Amplitude modulation can be more generally quantified in terms of interharmonics. The theoretical correlation between ...
External Influences on Weak State Foreign Policy: The United States and Italy during the Cold War
(2010-05-06)
This dissertation examines the extent to which one country may influence the foreign policy choices of a weaker partner. It specifically examines the complex interdependent relationship between Italy and the United States ...
Extra-home range and excursive movements by white-tailed deer
(2017-01-11)
Little information is available concerning excursive movements by white-tailed deer. Past studies addressing these movements have approached excursion detection in a manner that we believe is severely limited and that ...
An Extract Function Refactoring for the Go Language
(2015-07-31)
Refactoring is a disciplined technique for restructuring an existing body of code, altering its internal code structure without changing its external behavior. Refactoring is specified as a parameterized program transformation ...
