Selected Studies Of Celestial Dynamics And Habitability Of Extra Solar Planetary Systems
(Physics, 2013-03-20)
Planetary science in various forms has become interwoven into human culture during all of known human history. The need and desire to expand our horizons has brought humans from basic forms of observation to the development ...
Reducing The Complexity Of Reinforcement Learning In POMDPs By Decomposition Into Decision And Perceptual Processes
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) and Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) are very powerful and general frameworks to model decision and decision learning tasks in a wide range of problem domains. As a ...
Degradation Of Triclosan By Sulfate Radicals Generated By Metal-mediated Activation Of Oxidants
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)
The presence of persistent and toxic compounds, especially pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in water resources has generated considerable scientific, regulatory, and public interests, requiring the ...
Resilient Moduli Properties Of Compacted Unsaturated Subgrade Materials
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)
According to the new Mechanistic Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) and 1993 AASHTO flexible pavement design guide, Resilient Modulus (MR) has been used extensively as an important material property in structure design ...
Integrated Chemostratigraphy And Paleoceanography Of The Mississippian Barnett Formation
(Geology, 2013-03-20)
The Barnett Formation was deposited on a gently sloping marine margin that ultimately became the Fort Worth Basin (FWB), a foreland basin that evolved during the late Paleozoic Era. The FWB formed as a result of the early ...
High Resolution Geochemistry Of The Cretaceous Eagle Ford Shale, Bee County, Texas
(Geology, 2013-03-20)
The Eagle Ford Formation of Bee County, Texas is a sporadically laminated carbonaceous dark mudrock. The depositional area of the Eagle Ford Formation stretches across the state of Texas in a northeast-southwest trend. ...
Quantum Modeling Of Dark Matter In Galactic Halos
(Physics, 2013-03-20)
Eighty years after its initial discovery, the nature of dark matter remains a mystery. Contrary to observational evidence, simulations of dark matter halos predict cuspy density profiles and an abundant population of dwarf ...
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 ...
A Game Theoretic Framework For Communication Decisions In Multi Agent Systems
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Communication is the process of transferring information between multiple entities. We study the communication process between different entities that are modeled as multiple agents. To study the interactions between these ...
Mystical Experience And Its Defense On The Mystical's Proper Understanding And Usage
(Humanities, 2013-03-20)
This document will closely examine the issue of mystical experience by reviewing its origins in sacred concepts and leading arguments in the field of philosophy of mysticism. Ultimately, this document will attempt to prove ...
