A Discourse Analysis Of The Periphrastic Imperfect In The Greek New Testament Writings Of Luke
(Linguistics, 2010-07-19)Motivated by Bloomfield's belief that linguistic variation is not without motivation, this paper seeks to determine the distinction between the morphological imperfect and periphrastic imperfect of Koine Greek within the ... -
Discovery Of Anomalous Patterns Within Multidimensional, Asynchronous Time-series With An Emphasis On The "internet Of Things"
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2014-12)In this dissertation we examine ``Internet-scale'' systems that present us with multidimensional time-series data characterized by many sources sending symbols at irregular intervals over a common channel. We explore a ... -
Discrete Element Modeling Of Geogrid Reinforced Granular Media
Geogrids have proven to be economical solution in improving ground conditions for construction in foundations, retaining walls, railway tracks, and pavements. Hence researchers have started studying the geogrid reinforcement ... -
A Discrete Event Based Stochastic Simulation Approach For Studying The Dynamics Of Biological Networks

Discrete Event Controller: Application Using Dynamic Resource Allocation
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-09-17)This work consists of developing a Discrete Event Controller with Dynamic Resource Allocation, simulating it and than applying it on a test-bed using robots and static sensor nodes. These are the contributions ... -
Discrete Time Risk Models With Random Premiums
(2018-04-27)Over the past century insurance companies relied to a large extent on the continuous time Mathematical Risk Model proposed by Lundberg, known for its ability to estimate the probability of ruin(capital reserve falling below ... -
Discrete-time Control Algorithms And Adaptive Intelligent Systems Designs
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-10-08)In this work, approximate dynamic programming (ADP) designs based on adaptive critic structures are developed to solve the discrete-time optimal control problems in which the state and action spaces are continuous. This ... -
Discriminant Processing In Multi-class Pattern Recognition Systems
(Electrical Engineering, 2014-03-12)Multi-Layer Perceptron neural network classifiers face problems when applications have numerous output classes. A major problem is the fact that the MLP discriminant values given by the MLP differ considerably from the ... -
Discriminating Parkinson's disease using functional connectivity and brain network analysis
(2016-05-10)In this study, we explored the use of functional connectivity patterns in fMRI data to classify subjects on the basis of Parkinson's disease. We explore various brain networks and features. We partition our fMRI data in 5 ... -
Disease in a Changing Ocean: Ecoimmunological Approaches to Coral Reef Ecology
(2018-04-26)Increasing prevalence of anthropogenic stressors and climate change have resulted in rapid increases in the incidence and severity marine disease affecting a number of vulnerable taxa. Cnidarians, including both reef-building ... -
Dishonest Associates In The Workplace: The Correlation Between Motivation And Opportunity In Retail Among Employee Theft
(Criminology & Criminal Justice, 2009-09-16)White-collar crime is a major loss to the economy, employers, and consumers. It is a crime that often goes undetected, and when detected, employers rarely file charges, so estimates as to how often it occurs are hard to ... -
Dispensationalism And United States Foreign Policy With Israel
(Political Science, 2008-08-08)I incorporated various public opinion surveys regarding the nature of Dispensational concepts to convey the prevalence of Dispensational theology in America. I incorporated demographic data regarding survey participants ... -
Dispersion Engineering With Leaky-mode Resonance Structures
(Electrical Engineering, 2010-07-19)In the thesis, a numerical method for the analysis of optical pulses propagation through leaky-mode/guided-mode resonance (GMR) structures is implemented by integrating a Fourier decomposition technique and the rigorous ... -
