Same/Different Reversal Learning in Pigeons (Columba livia)
(2011-08-03)
Reversal learning is a common procedure for studying discrimination learning, but has yet to be studied in a same/different abstract-concept learning task. In the present study, the ability to learn a same/different task ...
Sample selection and reconstruction for array-based multispectral imaging
(2007-05-15)
In this work we address the problem of acquisition of multispectral
images in a sampled form and the subsequent processing of the
acquired signal. The problem is relevant in the context of color
imaging in digital ...
Sarmiento, Echeverría and Hernández’s Implementation of Historical Reciprocation in Argentina’s Battle of Oppression
(2010-08-05)
A study of historical reciprocation in the literature of Sarmiento, Echeverría, and Hernández shows the political and social unrest in Argentina in the 19th century.
A satellite derived map of Ecological Systems in the East Gulf Coastal Plain, USA
(2007-08-15)
Land cover mapping via remote sensing is an important tool for conservation and land management. A critical component to land cover mapping is defining the classification. A classification scheme must be sufficiently ...
Satiation Feed Consumption as an Inventory Tool to Assess Biomass of Channel x Blue Hybrid Catfish in Earthen Ponds
(2011-11-15)
The present study was conducted to determine the percentage body weight of feed
that specific sizes of hybrid catfish consume at various water temperatures when fed to
satiation under pond conditions. This information, ...
Satisfaction Matters: A Comparative Study of African American Students in Education Programs within the Academy
(2007-05-15)
Research has shown that when students have high-quality experiences on campus, student satisfaction levels increase. The mixed methods research presented is a comparative pilot study on the student satisfaction rate of ...
Saudi Student Integration in Southeastern U.S. Higher Education Institutions: A Study on the Impact of Academic, Social, and Cultural Adjustments Related to Academic Success
(2017-11-16)
Saudi student enrollment in U.S. higher education institutions has been increasing due to factors like the rising enrollment of international students in the U.S. Another major reason includes the King Abdullah Scholarship ...
A scalable and sustainable wastewater treatment technology using a methanotroph-microalga co-culture
(2020-05-15)
Rapidly growing human population generates large volumes of industrial, municipal, and agricultural wastewater. Traditional wastewater processes face major drawbacks with high energy consumption, inefficient nutrient ...
A Scalable Approach For Deciphering Core Rationales as the Foundation of New Product Devleopment
(2009-04-15)
Strategic plans are usually based on traditional statistical research and market segmentations like age, gender, zip code. Those segmentations do not reflect what people think about when they make decisions to buy a product ...
Scalable Collective Communication and Data Transfer for High-Performance Computation and Data Analytics
(2015-04-27)
Large-scale computer clusters are leveraged to solve various crucial problems in both High Performance Computing and Cloud Computing fields. Message Passing Interface (MPI) and MapReduce are two prevalent tools to tap the ...
Scalable, Self-Healing, and Real-Time Network Services for Directed Diffusion
(2008-08-15)
Directed diffusion is a data-centric publish-subscribe routing protocol for sensor networks. We have proposed three network services which increase the capabilities of directed diffusion. Our protocols build on the inherent ...
Scalable, Self-Healing, and Real-Time Network Services for Directed Diffusion
(2007-05-15)
Directed diffusion is a data-centric publish-subscribe routing protocol for sensor networks. We have designed, implemented, and evaluated three network services which build on the strengths of directed diffusion and lessen ...
Scale Economies in MFIs Abroad and Comparable U.S. Financial Institutions
(2010-04-22)
The three essays of this dissertation employ a system of seemingly unrelated equations, each with a cost function and production input equations to determine the scale or point of production along the long-run average total ...
The Scales of Ocean and Coastal Governance: How International, National, and Local Governments are Preparing for Global Environmental Change and a Growing Population
(2023-08-02)
Coastal and ocean governance is a complex topic that requires an equally complex management structure. Governments around the world and at every scale have varying degrees of authority and resources to effectively manage ...
Scapegoating Saviors: Presidential Rhetoric in U.S. Government Shutdowns
(2019-07-12)
