A Framework For Improving The Performance Of Application Servers In Next Generation Networks (NGNs)
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2007-09-17)Next generation networks (NGNs) such as IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) are completely built on the Internet Protocol (IP) suite. This has made IP the de facto standard for data networking, voice over IP (VoIP), and media ... -
A Framework For Model Checking Object Oriented Security Protocol Implementations
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2007-08-23)With the rapid growth of the Internet, more and more vendors see the Internet as a viable marketplace. Since the Internet is public, providing security in the presence of malicious intruders has become paramount. Security ... -
A Framework For Real-time Fault Detection And Response In Multi-agent Teams
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2011-03-03)This thesis details the creation of a fault detection and response framework that can be applied to mobile multi-agent teams. This framework unites existing concepts of conditioned based maintenance and real-time machine ... -
A Framework For Robust Detection And Prevention Of Wide-spread Node Compromise In Wireless Sensor Networks
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2010-07-19)Wireless sensor networks are known to be vulnerable to a variety ofattacks that could undermine normal sensor network operations. Manyschemes have been developed to defend the wireless sensor networksagainst various attacks. ... -
A Framework For Supporting Quality Of Service Requirements In A Data Stream Management System
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2007-08-23)Currently, a large class of data-intensive applications, in which data are presented in the form of continuous data streams rather than static relations, has been widely recognized in the database community. Not only is ... -
FRAMEWORKS, ALGORITHMS, AND SYSTEMS FOR EFFICIENT DISCOVERY OF DATA-BACKED FACTS
(2017-12-07)This thesis studies the problem of finding facts from semi-structured and structured data. The amount of data in our world is exploding, and the proliferation of data is making them increasingly inaccessible. It is now ... -
FRAMING LEADERSHIP RHETORIC: EXPLORING GENDER (IN) EQUALITY IN CORPORATE TRAINING MATERIAL
This study explores gender equality in the workplace using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Two sets of data were analyzed: leadership training and development materials and in-depth interviews. This two-fold ... -
Framing The Flu
(Marketing, 2012-04-11)Since Tversky and Kahneman's article on prospect theory in 1979, there have been many articles published on framing with mixed success in finding preference shifts and in which frame subjects are most persuaded. Framing ... -
Frantic Fathers And Misplaced Mothers: Hegemonic Patriarchal Reinforcement Of The Traditional Family In American Film
(English, 2008-04-22)Movies play an integral part in the formation of cultural identity and therefore should be subject to critical examination. This study examines the roles of mothers and fathers in films by looking at several basic techniques ... -
Freeze-Frame: Time And Vision In Three Early Welty Stories
(English, 2007-10-08)Eudora Welty's early short stories provide a fitting career transition from photographer to writer. In particular, her creative figuration of time--enriched by her employment of photographic vision--graces her earliest ... -
Freezing-induced Microstructural Changes Of Collagen Scaffolds
(Mechanical Engineering, 2007-08-23)Understanding the effects of freezing on the functional properties of tissues is critical to cryopreservation of native and artificial tissues, and prognosis after cryotherapies. Although investigations have been performed ... -
A Frequency Domain Approach For Time-reversal Of Microwave Impulses
(Electrical Engineering, 2009-09-16)In this thesis, a compact and low-cost electronic circuit system is designed for time-reversal of microwave impulses with nanosecond and sub-nanosecond temporal durations. A frequency domain approach is adopted in order ... -
Frequency Response Approximation Methods Of The Dissipative Model Of Fluid Transmission Lines
(Mechanical Engineering, 2007-08-23)This thesis introduces an accurate and efficient method of obtaining a linear approximation for a nonlinear model of a complete fluid transmission line system using Matlab® Signal Processing Toolbox and Symbolic Math Toolbox ... -
FREQUENCY TUNING OF VIBRATION ABSORBER USING TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION
(2017-05-08)A tuned mass absorber is a system for reducing the amplitude in one oscillator by coupling it to a second oscillator. If tuned correctly, the maximum amplitude of the first oscillator in response to a periodic driver will ... -
FROM BODY TO BRAIN: USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO IDENTIFY USER SKILLS & INTENTIONS IN INTERACTIVE SCENARIOS
(2019-04-23)Artificial Intelligence has probably been the most rapidly evolving field of science during the last decade. Its numerous real-life applications have radically altered the way we experience daily-living with great impact ... -
From Discrete To Continuous Models Of Cell Movement: An Application To Medical Implants
(Mathematics, 2013-03-20)Mathematical modeling of cell movement is needed to aid in the deeper understanding of vital processes such as embryogenesis, angiogenesis, tumor metastasis, and immune reactions to foreign bodies. In this work, cell ... -
From Eve To Eve: Women's Dreaming In The Middle Ages And Renaissance
(English, 2011-03-03)This project examines reports of the dreams of women in fictionalized as well as historical, biographical, and hagiographical accounts from the English Middle Ages and Renaissance. Because an unstable body/spirit dualism ... -
