Biaxial Investigation Of Periosteal Mechanics
(Biomedical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Limb lengthening procedures are used commonly to correct limb length discrepancies. Current methods in limb lengthening require a distraction of 1 mm per day using an external fixation device. Although the underlying ...
Complex Directional Wavelet Transforms: Representation, Statistical Modeling And Applications
(Electrical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
The thesis presents an new image decomposition for feature extraction, which is called the pyramidal dual-tree directional filter bank (PDTDFB). The image representation has an overcomplete ratio of less than 8/3 and uses ...
A Systematic Review Of The Effects Of Psychotherapy Involving Equines
(Social Work, 2009-09-16)
This systematic review examines the empirical literature in an emerging body of evidence for the effectiveness of psychosocial interventions involving equines across populations. Fourteen full reports in English were ...
Synthesis And Characterization Of Crosslinked Urethane Doped Polyesters For Vascular Tissue Engineering
(Biomedical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Traditional crosslinked polyester elastomers are inherently weak, and the strategy of increasing crosslink density to improve their mechanical properties makes them brittle materials. Biodegradable polyurethanes, although ...
A Particle Filter Based Framework For Indoor Wireless Localization Using Custom Ieee 802.15.4 Nodes
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Locating people and objects as soon as possible and fair amount of precision has always been an important part of any organization or industry, especially in manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics. Systems that now have ...
Solution-processed omnidirectional antireflection coatings on amorphous silicon solar cells
(Original publisher: Journal of Applied PhysicsUniversity of Texas at Arlington, 2009-05)
Solution-processed spherical surface textures are demonstrated on commercial amorphous silicon solar cells. The texture is formed with a monolayer of silica microspheres by convective coating, followed by a spin-on-glass ...
Determining the phylogeographic dynamics of the edge relationships between Aphonopelma hentzi (Girard) and its neighbors along the Colorado River Basin (Araneae, Mygalomorphae, Theraphosidae)
(Biology, 2009-09-16)
Theraphosids, commonly known as “tarantulas”, are a group of large, hirsute spiders that have drawn relatively little interest in ecological, behavioral, or evolutionary research from biologists. The lack of research on ...
Historical Archaeology At The Berachah Rescue Home: A Holistic Approach And Analysis Of An Industrial Homestead In Arlington, Texas
(Anthropology, 2009-09-16)
Excavations at the historic Berachah Rescue Home in Arlington, Texas were undertaken as part of the 2003 and 2004 University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) Archaeological Field Schools. The excavations explored several features ...
Hybrid Video Coding Design With Variable Size Integer Transforms And Structural Similarity
(Electrical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
This research proposes a block-based video codec design with two objectives. The first goal is to propose a method for intraframe that improves the rate-distortion (peak signal-to-noise ratio versus bit rate) of a fixed-size ...
Logistic Regression With Misclassified Covariates Using Auxiliary Data
(Mathematics, 2009-09-16)
When standard regression methods are used, measurement errors cause a bias in parameters estimation. In dealing with discrete covariates, such measurement errors are known as misclassification and the corresponding discrete ...
