Habanero-Scala: A Hybrid Programming model integrating Fork/Join and Actor models
(2013-07-24)This study presents a hybrid concurrent programming model combining the previously developed Fork-Join model (FJM) and Actor model (AM). With the advent of multi-core computers, there is a renewed interest in programming ... -
Hafa nu ond geheald husa selest: Jurisdiction and justice in "Beowulf"
(1992)Anglo-Saxon legal concepts, particularly the principles of feud and dispute resolution, have a demonstrable influence on the themes and narrative structure of Beowulf. Beowulf's three main monster fights, with Grendel, ... -
Halcyon Nights
(1998)Halcyon Nights is a one-movement piece for orchestra, ca. 9$\sp\prime$, in five-part arch-form with two inserted sections: A B C B$\rm\sp\prime\ \langle fugue\rangle\ A\sp\prime\ \langle coda\rangle$. The piece opens with ... -
Hall Effect and Magneto Optical MFL Sensing
(2013-11-19)The need for a reliable sensing tool has stimulated countless researchers to develop techniques trying to extract maximum information. In the field of nondestructive testing (NDT), various sensors have been established to ... -
Hall effect in molybdenite

Hamilton Prioleau Bee
(1972)This thesis is a study of Hamilton P. Bee and his role in the American Civil War. Bee was first a Texas brigadier general, in charge of a state militia district, and then a Confederate brigadier general, in command of the ... -
Hamiltonian theory and stochastic simulation methods for radiation belt dynamics
(2009)This thesis describes theoretical studies of adiabatic motion of relativistic charged particles in the radiation belts and numerical modeling of multi-dimensional diffusion due to interactions between electrons and plasma ... -
Handle crushing harmonic maps between surfaces
(2016-04-20)In this thesis, we construct polynomial growth harmonic maps from once-punctured Riemann surfaces of any finite genus to any even-sided, regular, ideal polygon in the hyperbolic plane. We also establish their uniqueness ... -
Handling Congestion and Routing Failures in Data Center Networking
(2015-09-01)Today's data center networks are made of highly reliable components. Nonetheless, given the current scale of data center networks and the bursty traffic patterns of data center applications, at any given point in time, ... -
Haplotype block and genetic association
(2006)The recently identified (Daly et al. 2001 and Patil et al. 2001) block-like structure in the human genome has attracted much attention since each haplotype block contains limited sequence variation, which can reduce the ... -
Hard Core Urbanism: Urban planning at Potsdamer Platz in Berlin after the German reunification
(1996)Hard Core Urbanism is the tendency to produce corporate enclaves within the fluid city. The garrison mentality denies the complex and interwoven processes exemplified by the history of Potsdamer Platz. Breaking the ... -
HARD X-RAY PULSARS

Hardware- versus Human-centric Assessment of Rehabilitation Robots
(2015-04-20)Individuals with disabilities arising from neurological injury require rehabilitation of the distal joints of the upper extremities to regain the ability to independently perform activities of daily living (ADL). Robotic ... -
Harmonic diffeomorphisms between manifolds with bounded curvature
(1991)Let compact n-dimensional Riemannian manifolds $(M,g),\ (\widehat M,\ g)$ a diffeomorphism $u\sb0: M\to \widehat M,$ and a constant $p > n$ be given. Then sufficiently small $L\sp{p}$ bounds on the curvature of $\widehat ...
