Experimental Study On The Effects Of Gaseous Contamination On IT Equipment
(Mechanical Engineering, 2013-10-22)
Every company is trying to reduce their carbon footprint in today's world. The data center industry is no different. To reduce the cooling costs and increase the efficiency, air -side economizers are used. Air-side ...
The Role Of Individual Attributes In Earnings Management Intention Decisions
(Accounting, 2013-10-22)
Much research has been conducted, at the firm level, to investigate the market effect of earnings management. However, there is a gap in the literature on individual attributes that may help to explain earnings management ...
Nematodes With Three Genders: Models For The Evolution Of Mating Systems, Parasitism And Aging
(Biology, 2013-10-23)
All living organisms reproduce and age. These are the two basic facets of life, but in many aspects poorly understood. The majority of the species are male/female. The proportion of genders in population can vary significantly ...
Development And Simulation Of Focus Of Attention Using Reinforcement Learning And Function Approximation
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2013-10-22)
Without short-term memory, people would have little hope to learn and accomplish tasks. The same can be said for artificially intelligent agents. Often referred as Miller's Law, the number of working objects that a human ...
First Principles Study Of Properties Of The Oxidized Cu(100) And Cu(110)
(Physics, 2013-07-22)
Copper based catalysts are of importance to a number of industrial processes including the synthesis of methanol, the reduction and decomposition of nitrogen oxides, and treatment of waste water. In copper catalysis surface ...
Compressibility Effects On The Non-linear Receptivity Of Boundary Layers To Dielectric Barrier Discharges
(Aerospace Engineering, 2013-07-22)
The reduction of drag and aerodynamic heating caused by boundary layer transition is of central interest for the development of hypersonic vehicles. Receptivity to flow perturbation in the form of Tollmien-Schlichting (TS) ...
The Samara Spacecraft: Design And Development Of A Self-stabilizing, Auto-rotating, Distributed Sensing System
(Aerospace Engineering, 2013-07-22)
The scope of this research is the design and development of a self-stabilizing re-entry vehicle that closely resembles naturally occurring seeds in nature. It was hypothesized that a femto-satellite ...
