At Play In Her Clearing: Centering The Personal Experience Of Disability Within Irigarayan Philsophy
(English, 2009-09-16)
From a theoretical perspective, the disabled woman can be seen as `doubly othered' within patriarchal culture. Because the disabled woman faces this dual otherness, she is barred from both masculine language and able-bodied ...
An Emission Model For Lunar Regolith Surfaces Based On Matrix Doubling Method
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
An emission model based on Matrix Doubling Method is implemented for the calculation of emission signatures from the lunar regolith surfaces. The matrix doubling method is used to solve the radiative transfer equations ...
Increasing Localization Precision In Sensor Networks With Mobile Beacons - A Genetic Path Planning Approach
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2009-09-16)
This work describes a genetic algorithm based approach to approximate an optimal path for a mobile beacon node in a grid of stationary wireless sensors. As the beacon moves over the field of sensors it broadcasts its ...
Identifying Individual Eurasian Otters (Lutra lutra) Based On Measurements Of Their Footprints Standardization Of The Method And Its Potential For Censusing And Monitoring Wild Otter Populations
(Biology, 2007-08-23)
A method for identifying individual Eurasian otters (Lutra lutra L.) from measurements of their footprints was first tested by performing experiments with captive animals. Digital photographs were taken of imprints in mud ...
Collision Response For Virtual Laparoscopic Surgery
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
During laparoscopic surgery the surgeon operates inside the abdomen guided by the 2D imagery of the operating area. This image is obtained via a camera inserted through a small incision. Laparoscopic surgery, in contrast ...
A Framework For A Dynamic Invocation Interface And High-level Interoperability For Mobile Agent Platforms
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2007-08-23)
The mobile agent paradigm for distributed systems is inherently suitable for many applications ranging from network management to e-commerce. One inherent problem to its wide spread use is communication between disparate ...
Signal Processing In Radar And Non-radar Sensor Networks
(Electrical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
This dissertation studies six topics within the area of radar andnon-radar sensor networks from a signal processing perspective:radar sensor networks (RSN) waveform design and performance analysis(chapter 2), blind speed ...
Efficient Multi-view Video Coding Scheme Based On Dynamic Video Object Segmentation
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Multi-view video, which simultaneously acquires multiple video sequences from multiple viewpoints or view directions, is poised to become the next generation video technology. Exploiting redundancy is the hallmark of ...
Generation Planning And Market Operation Strategies In The Southwest Power Pool Energy Imbalance Service Market
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
The transition of the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) from its traditional operation under tariff towards the new market environment has significant impact on the utilities in the SPP footprint, both in terms of planning and ...
Performance Studies On Rigid Pavement Sections Built On Stabilized Sulfate Soils
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Soils of Southeast Arlington are highly expansive and rich in sulfates. They undergo sulfate induced heaving when traditional calcium based stabilizers are used for soil stabilization (Puppala et al. 1998). Traditional ...
