A Late Holocene Meander-braid Transition Of The Lower Missouri River Valley
(Geology, 2012-07-25)
Historically, the Lower Missouri River is known for being a temperate river that constantly and quickly reworks its floodplain with a braided network of channels; however, the river only recently became braided. Ox-bow ...
Effect Of Stress And Suction Histories Dynamic Properties Of Statically Compacted Silty Sand
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-07-25)
This paper is devoted to the analysis of the experimental study whose intent is to find the effect of the stress/suction history on the dynamic properties of silty sand subjected to small- to mid-strains. The practical ...
A Study On The Two Component Periodic Shallow Water Systems
(Mathematics, 2012-07-25)
In this dissertation we study the generalized periodic two-component Camassa-Holm system and the generalized periodic two-component Dullin-Gottwald-Holm system, which can be derived from the Euler equation with nonzero ...
New Results In Finite Geometries Pertaining To Albert-like Semifields
(Mathematics, 2012-07-25)
One of the most widely studied class of semifields are the generalized twisted fields defined by Albert in the 50s and 60s. The collineation groups of generalized twisted field planes have been completely described. In a ...
Graph Theoretic Framework Based Cooperative Control And Estimation Of Multiple UAVS For Target Tracking
(Mechanical Engineering, 2012-07-25)
Designing the control technique for nonlinear dynamic systems is a significant challenge. Approaches to designing a nonlinear controller are studied and an extensive study on backstepping based technique is performed in ...
Subgrouping Of Nisoic (Yi) Languages: A Study From The Perspectives Of Shared Innovation And Phylogenetic Estimation
(Linguistics, 2012-07-25)
In southwest China and neighboring countries, including Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Myanmar, there live over 100 ethnic groups who speak languages known as Nuosu, Naxi, Hani, Lisu, Lahu, etc. These languages belong to the ...
Integrity first : West Point and John Goolsby
(2012-01-30)
“Character” is a defining feature of West Point and of John Goolsby. The current West Point-Goolsby exchange began in 2007 and evolved into the collaboration of 2011. We found it a challenge to define and measure character, ...
Alternate energies: nuclear and beyond
(University of Texas at Arlington Library, 2012-01-30)
The University of Texas at Arlington supercomputing facilities and the Texas Advanced Computing Centre at Austin are conducting simulations to test the atomic level behavoir of uranium, plutonium, and other radioactive ...
Multi-port Power Electronic Interface For Renewable Energy Sources
(Electrical Engineering, 2012-04-11)
Energy intensive products and services are penetrating people's daily life as well as different sectors of industry during recent decades. Further effort to improve efficiency, reduce green house gas and hazardous particle ...
Gold/ Copper Sulphide And Gold Nanoparticles For Application In Cancer Therapy
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2012-04-11)
The main goal of this research is to use Gold/ Copper Sulphide (Au/ CuS) and Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for improving the therapeutic effects in the treatment of cancer. One of the biggest successes in photothermal therapy ...
