Effect Of Friction On The Zel'dovich Von Neumann Doring To Chapman Jouguet Transition
(Aerospace Engineering, 2010-11-01)
Detonation theory proposes Chapman-Jouguet state of equilibrium due to the sonic speed of the products relative to the wave. Experimental observations however indicated the existence of a sub-Chapman-Jouguet state. The ...
The Effects Of Personal Trauma History And Working With Clients With Similar Trauma On Well-being Among Mental Health Counselors
(Social Work, 2012-04-11)
Several studies have researched burnout, compassion fatigue, secondary trauma, vicarious trauma, and shared trauma of practicing mental health professionals. Yet few have focused directly on the impact of personal trauma ...
Thermal Maturity And Porosity Development During Catagensis In The Barnett Shale, Fort Worth Basin, Texas
(Geology, 2012-04-11)
Unconventional resource plays are typified by significantly recoverable volumes of thermally mature hydrocarbons (oil, condensate and/or gases) trapped within a low permeability shale formation acting as source, reservoir ...
Sybil Defense For Online Social Networks Using Partial Graph Information
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2012-04-11)
Online social networks (OSNs) today are proprietary, in the sense that communication between users requires the users to be part of the same OSN. This raises privacy issues and reliability concerns among users, and calls ...

(Electrical Engineering, 2011-03-03)
H.264/AVC and AVS-video are two video coding standards that have a wide range of applications ranging from high-end professional camera and editing systems to low-end mobile applications. They strive to achieve maximum ...
Integration Mechanism Of The Site Specific Non-LTR Retrotransposon, R2Bm
(Biology, 2010-07-19)
The focus of this thesis is the mechanistic study of non-LTR retrotransposon replication using the site specific transposon R2Bm. Non-LTR retrotransposons integrate into new chromosomal sites by copying their RNA back ...
Evaluation Of Ferry Based Opportunistic Message Dissemination With Deterministic Inter Contact Times
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2010-07-19)
Opportunistic Networks are characterized by intermittent connectivity and volatile topology. In such a network scenario, traditional Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) routing protocols cannot work efficiently. Hence, a novel ...
