This paper treats the problem of describing the behavior of a function u bounded and harmonic in a disk, when its behavior is known on a portion B of the disk that contains an open set. If /u/ is bounded by one on the ...

A dynamic process of the nonstructural carbohydrate translocation in rice plants is presented based on observation during one growing season. Differing amounts of nonstructural carbohydrates might be lost through rice ...

This thesis is an attempt to redefine the concept of imagery in the ayres of Thomas Campion's first published work, A Booke of Ayres (1601). Though Walter Davis and others have commented on the auditory imagery of Campion's ...

Direct laser vaporization of transition-metal/graphite composite rods produced single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWT) in the condensing vapor in a heated flow tube. A much higher yield of nanotubes was found, with little of ...

Evidence cited as validating the Vroom-Yetton model has relied on managers' self-reports of the behavior they did or would exhibit. Research suggests that knowledge of group performance can bias both group process and ...

Many applications call for a design that maximizes the rate of energy decay. Typical problems of this class include one dimensional damped wave operators, where energy dissipation is caused by a damping operator acting on ...

This thesis demonstrates the advantages of new practical implementations of compressive sensing (CS) algorithms tailored for the graphics processing unit (CPU) using a software platform called Jacket. There exist many ...

One way that a process may be said to be "out-of-control" is when a cyclical pattern exists in the observations over time. It is necessary that an accurate control chart be developed to signal when a cycle is present in ...

Rumination is a common mental experience that has received relatively little attention with respect to its precise dimensionality. The current research identifies seven such dimensions in the newly developed Survey of ...

Using data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study (Birth Cohort 2001), this study investigates how the amount of time off from work after childbirth is associated with breastfeeding behavior, and how this association ...
