The Reputation System For Robust, Structured P2p Systems
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Structured peer-to-peer systems are distributed communication systems that typically use Distributed Hash Table (DHT) indexing to efficiently locate the resources. These networks are highly scalable and can route the ...
Theoretical Feasibility Study For A Conceptual Approach To Trenchless Replacement Of Culverts
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Culvert damage and collapses and their renewal alternatives are a raising concern in today's infrastructure topics. In most cases damages are irreversible; however, in many cases opportunities exist to correct and renew. ...
Exploratory Study Of Gold Nanoshell As A Therapeutic Thermal Ablation Agent For Cancer Treatment Using Laboratory And Animal Tissue Phantoms
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Prostate cancer is the most common male cancer in the United States and the second leading cause of male death from cancer. Surgical removal of the prostate is associated with high risks of surgical complications and ...
Dynamic Scene Interpretation And Understanding From Two Views
(Electrical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Interpretation of a static or dynamic scene starts by segmenting the scene followed by recognition. Our work concentrates on the general problem of segmenting and recognizing animate and inanimate objects in a scene captured ...
Structural, Magnetic And Surface Properties Of RF Magnetron Sputtered Undoped Lanthanum Mangnite Thin Films
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2010-03-03)
In the present study, polycrystalline and epitaxial undoped Lanthanum Manganite (LMO) thin films were deposited by using RF magnetron sputtering on three substrates, Si (100), MgO (100) and LaAlO₃ (100) to study the influence ...
The Culture Industry, Hip Hop Music, And The White Perspective: How One Dimensional Representation Of Hip Hop Music Has Influenced White Racial Attitudes
(Sociology, 2010-03-03)
This theoretical study builds from Ben Agger's theory in his 1992 book, Cultural Studies as Critical Theory:The ideological outcomes of the culture industry are in a sense unintended; they emerge in the interplay of ...
To Keep Those Red Lights Burning: Dallas' Response To Prostitution, 1874 to 1913
(History, 2010-03-03)
This thesis examines the responses of city leaders, purity reformers, and citizens to prostitution within two red-light districts in Dallas between the years 1874 and 1913. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth ...
Applications Of Sensitivity Data To Eigensolution Reanalysis Of Modified Structures
(Mechanical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
Methods of computing eigensolution sensitivity have been known for a long time. Both exact and approximate methods are available in the literature. While eigenvalue sensitivity is used routinely in structural optimization ...
Solution To Multi Term Boltzmann Equation For Plasma Assisted Combustion
(Aerospace Engineering, 2010-11-01)
Plasma assisted ignition and combustion (PAIC) is a technology where plasma is generated by high voltage, nano second pulse duration and high repetitive rate pulses. The high reduced electric field during the pulse allows ...
Predition Of Torque And Radial Forces In Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines Using Field Reconstruction Method
(Electrical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
Due to their high torque-to-loss ratio, permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSM) have received increasing attention in automotive applications over the past decade. Because of this unique characteristics, many applications ...
