Relay Positioning for Energy Efficiency and Improved Performance of Cooperative Wireless Networks
(2014-03-31)
Cooperative communications in wireless networks have gained much interest due to their
ability to mitigate the effect of fading in wireless networks by achieving spatial diversity. One
of the techniques used in cooperative ...
Enhanced Visual Navigation for Mobile Robots
(2014-05-02)
Navigation solely by vision has been a goal in robotics for many years. It is desirable for a robot to plan and navigate the same way we do naturally as humans; however computation speed, changing illumination, complex ...
Novel Catalytic Material with Enhanced Heterogeneous Contacting Efficiency for VOC Removal at Ultra-short Contact Time
(2014-05-02)
Gas processing operations conducted at high velocities (e.g., filtration and catalytic reaction) require specialized media and structure in order to achieve the highest possible level of filtration and/or reaction per unit ...
A Place in the Curriculum: Superintendents' Perceptions of Fine Arts Programs
(2014-05-02)
The decisions regarding school curriculum are based on mandates from state and local policies and funding from local, state, and federal government funding. In most K–12 public school systems, decisions regarding funding ...
Memory Recall in Horses Tranquilized with Acepromazine Maleate
(2014-05-02)
Acepromazine maleate (Ace) is a common tranquilizer employed by horse handlers as a “training aid” because it allows handlers more control of fractious horses in training situations. Tranquilizing horses with Ace is ...
The Advising Behaviors Checklist: A Study of the Preferred Qualities and Behaviors of Academic Advisors
(2014-05-01)
The purpose of this study was to determine what qualities/behaviors undergraduate students value in their academic advisors versus those qualities/behaviors valued by academic advisors. More specifically, this is a study ...
The Effect of Traditional Vocal Warm-up Versus Semi-Occluded Vocal Tract Exercises on the Acoustic Parameters of Voice
(2014-03-27)
This study investigated the effect of traditional vocal warm-up versus semi-occluded vocal tract exercises on the acoustic parameters of voice. Vocal warm-up is thought to be a pre-requisite for optimal singing, but studies ...
Performance Evaluation of a Binary Exponential Code Backoff Algorithm for IEEE 802.11
(2014-03-31)
IEEE 802.11 is the most widely deployed medium access control (MAC) protocol for
wireless access. Simple and efficient, this MAC protocol works well as the last wireless hop
and is a key enabler of the widespread success ...
Geology of the Dadeville Quadrangle and the Tallassee Synform in Characterizing the Dog River Window
(2014-03-31)
Structural and lithologic observations are reported for southernmost Appalachian shear zones and Blue Ridge and Inner Piedmont metamorphic rocks exposed on the Dadeville 7.5-minute quadrangle map. Brevard fault zone ...
Steady State and Transient Response Characteristics of Commercial Non-Dispersive Infrared Carbon Dioxide Sensors
(2014-03-31)
Non-dispersive infrared CO2 sensors are well established and are commonly used
to provide demand control ventilation for commercial buildings. The aviation industry
has shown potential interest in adapting these sensors ...
