Advancements of modern technology have enabled the collection of sophisticated, high-dimensional data sets, such as 3D images, high dimensional data and other objects living in a functional space. As such, boosting the ...
New Venture Success: The Role of Principal's Social Capital and Social Effectiveness
(2007-08-15)
Previous empirical research indicates that founder social capital and founder social effectiveness may both be beneficial during the venture creation process. However, few, if any, studies have examined the combined influence ...
New Warehouse Designs: Angled Aisles and Their Effects on Travel Distance
(2011-07-07)
This dissertation presents new, improved aisle designs for warehouses where there are different material flows. The goal is to reduce travel distance to pick and store an item in a warehouse. The approach is to design cross ...
Newcomers’ Trait Affectivity and Social Assimilation in Organizations
(2017-05-16)
Becoming assimilated into the organizational social environment is critical and challenging to newcomers. This study examined whether newcomers’ trait positive affectivity (PA) and negative affectivity (NA) could predict ...
"The Newspapers Will Invade Their Firesides": Politics, the Press, and the End of Reconstruction in Alabama
(2016-05-05)
In 1874, Alabama Democrats exploited racial tensions to animate disaffected whites, producing the highest voter turnout in Reconstruction and the end of Republican rule. Throughout the campaign, newspaper editors and ...
A Newton - Galerkin Finite Element Method to solve reduced dimensional Variable Density Flow and Solute Transport Equations using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition method
(2020-07-20)
The mathematical model of Variable Density Flow and Solute Transport (VDFST) is a
time dependent, coupled and nonlinear dynamical system that is widely used to simulate seawater
intrusion and related problems. The numerical ...
The Next Exploration: Savannah's River Region
(2016-05-03)
Urban landscapes continue to be shaped by dynamic social, cultural, and economic influences. Water remains one component of the landscape that continues to reside in a flux space, influential for life and economic means, ...
Next-Gen Thermal Management for Electronics in Space – Asymmetric Sawtooth and Cavity-Enhanced Nucleation-Driven Transport (ASCENT)
(2023-08-29)
Nucleate pool boiling in microgravity is characterized by stagnant vapor bubble dynamics, leading to early dryout of the heated surface compared to terrestrial conditions. The Asymmetric Sawtooth and Cavity-Enhanced ...
Nicotine and Integrin Linked Kinase Interplay Modulates Synaptic Plasticity Mechanisms Required for Memory
(2015-09-23)
Integrin Linked Kinase (ILK) has been associated with forms of synaptic plasticity required for memory. Nicotine, at low-concentration improves memory but higher concentrations impart learning and memory deficits. The ...
Nim on Graphs
(2012-08-02)
Winning strategies for the Game of Nim on Graphs are discussed. Graphs considered are distinguished from those previously studied in that they may have loops. Winning strategies are found for graphs that have loops and ...
Nitrogen and Phosphorus Dynamics along the Terrestrial-Ocean Continuum in Changing Environment: Integrating Geospatial Data with Process-based Model
(2022-06-01)
Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P) are critical elements required by organisms for cellular processes and are the key limiting nutrients in most terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. However, massive nutrients have entered the ...
Nitrogen release characteristics of commercial organic fertilizers in turfgrass
(2011-07-18)
Although organic fertilizer sources are widely marketed for application to turfgrasses, there is limited research that examines their nitrogen (N) release characteristics. For this research project, ‘organic’ refers to ...
"No One Comes Close": US Airmen and their Technological Paradigm
(2018-04-10)
“No one comes close” is a recent US Air Force (USAF) mantra, developed as both a recruiting slogan and service motto. It reflects both the physical altitude of their domain (sky and space) and conveys a sense of operational ...
Nocturnal Ecophysiology of the Anemonefish-Sea Anemone Mutualism: Patterns of Nocturnal Oxygen Consumption and Symbiont Behavior at Night
(2011-11-15)
The mutualism between anemonefishes and giant sea anemones is one of the most well known interactions on coral reefs. While the symbiotic benefits provided to each partner have been researched for over 100 years, little ...
Node Placement, Routing and Localization Algorithms for Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks
(2008-05-15)
Wireless sensor network is a very promising technology for many
military and civilian applications. The network usually consists
large number of nodes and many existing network techonlogies can
not be used directly in ...

(2018-04-13)
This research presents a meta-analysis that aims to assess the reliability and nomological network of the Cavanaugh, Boswell, Roehling, and Boudreau (2000) measure of challenge and hindrance workplace stressors, specifically, ...
Non-axisymmetric equilibrium reconstruction and suppression of density limit disruptions in a current-carrying stellarator
(2018-03-29)
Reconstruction of non-axisymmetric, three-dimensional (3D) plasma equilibria is important for understanding 3D confinement and stability in stellarators as well as in nominally axisymmetric plasmas in tokamaks and ...
Non-collocated Control of an Autonomous Robot-Trailer System Using State Estimation
(2012-04-09)
In this work, the author develops an observer and non-collocated controller for a robot-trailer system in which only the position of the trailer is measured. A linearized state-space model of the system is derived using ...
