Daily Wind Accelerations in Mountain Valleys in Western Montana
Valley regions within the Rocky Mountains frequently experience high wind events based on a variety of reasons. In the western Montana area there is a specific wind event that occurs almost daily, one to two days at most ... -
Damping of Seismic Vibrations of a 3D Asymmetrical Building Model with Multiple TMD’s
(2014-07)In this paper, the authors investigate the control of the seismic response of a three dimensional asymmetrical tier-building model, with a combination of three tuned mass dampers (TMD) located on the upper floor of the ... -
Data Assimilation of AVHRR and MODIS data for Land Base Initialization and Boundary Conditions in the UTC-M Atmospheric Boundary Layer Sea-Breeze Model of Space Coast Florida
(2004-02-26)The purpose of this paper is to present results of simulations of the Florida Tech UTC-M sea-breeze model²² with the addition of a simplified atmospheric downwelling radiation subroutine¹’⁴ combined and a thermal inertia ... -
Decreasing Bouts of Prolonged Sitting Among Office Workers
(2015-05)Health care costs of preventable diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type II diabetes, and obesity are higher than ever, and indicate the need for behavioral interventions. Research has shown that individuals who ... -
Deep multiwaveband observations of the jets of 0208-512 and 1202-262
(2011-09-07)We present deep Hubble Space Telescope, Chandra, Very Large Array, and Australia Telescope Compact Array images of the jets of PKS 0208-512 and PKS 1202-262, which were found in a Chandra survey of a flux-limited sample ... -
A DEEP SEARCH for ADDITIONAL SATELLITES AROUND the DWARF PLANET HAUMEA
(2016-05-27)Haumea is a dwarf planet with two known satellites, an unusually high spin rate, and a large collisional family, making it one of the most interesting objects in the outer solar system. A fully self-consistent formation ... -
A deep search for the host galaxies of gamma-ray bursts with no detected optical afterglow
(2012-09)Context. Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) can provide information about star formation at high redshifts. Even in the absence of a bright optical/near-infrared/radio afterglow, the high detection rate of X-ray afterglows by Swift/XRT ... -
The deep x-ray radio blazar survey. III. radio number counts, evolutionary properties, and luminosity function of blazars
(2007-07-10)Our knowledge of the blazar surface densities and luminosity functions, which are fundamental parameters, relies still on samples at relatively high flux limits. As a result, our understanding of this rare class of active ... -
Degenerate anisotropic differential operators and applications
(2011-02-23)The boundary value problems for degenerate anisotropic differential operator equations with variable coefficients are studied. Several conditions for the separability and Fredholmness in Banach-valued Lp spaces are given. ... -
Denial of service on direct democracy peer to peer protocol
The purpose of this project is to provide the first-ever implementation of a suspected vulnerability to the DDP2P app so that Dr. Silaghi’s research students can understand the impact of a such a major vulnerability and ... -
Denoising medical imagery using a novel framework
(2011-06-03)We proposed a novel framework that allows a method optimized for white noise to be used for denoising CT imagery. We considered low-dose x-ray CT imagery where lowering the dose of x-rays results in an increase in quantum ... -
Denoising of imagery for inspection tasks using higher-order statistics
(2006-10-12)We reduced noise in images using a higher-order, correlation-based method. In this approach, wavelet coefficients were classified as either mostly noise or mostly signal based on third-order statistics. Because the higher ... -
Denoising of x-ray imagery with spatially-varying estimates of noise variance
(2010-04-05)We described a way to use a block-matching 3-D denoising algorithm to reduce noise in x-ray imagery. We first filtered an image multiple times using different estimates of the noise variance. From a simple estimate of the ... -
Denoising using adaptive thresholding and higher order statistics
(2009-03-19)We showed that a hard threshold for wavelet denoising based on higher order statistics is comparable to a second order soft threshold. The hard threshold can be made adaptive by using a third order statistic as an estimate ... -
Dense Populations of Benthopelagic Hydromedusae Found in Deep Water Off Anvers Island, Western Antarctic Peninsula
Scant data are available on the abundance and distribution of benthopelagic hydromedusae in Antarctic waters. A photographic survey of the sea floor off Anvers Island, western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) was conducted ... -
Depletion Today Keeps the Apple Away: Effects of Workplace Resource Processes on Daily Health Behavior and Recovery
(2016-12)The workplace has become an increasingly demanding environment in which individuals must expend personal resources in order to meet job demands (Hobfoll, 1989). Without ample opportunity to recover these depleted resources, ... -
A depth refugium from catastrophic coral bleaching prevents regional extinction
(2014)Species intolerant of changing climate might avoid extinction within refugia buffered from extreme conditions. Refugia have been observed in the fossil record but are not well documented or understood on ecological time ... -
Depth-Variable Settlement Patterns and Predation Influence on Newly Settled Reef Fishes (Haemulon spp., Haemulidae)
(2012-12-14)During early demersal ontogeny, many marine fishes display complex habitat-use patterns. Grunts of the speciose genus Haemulon are among the most abundant fishes on western North Atlantic coral reefs, with most species ... -
Design and Development of a Physiological Stress Monitoring/Alert System Using a Wristband
(2016-12)The design and development of wearable physiological systems for stress monitoring have gathered a lot of attention during the past few years. These systems have undergone much-needed development to tackle long-term ... -
Design and implementation of exception handling with zero overhead in functional languages
(2003-06-03)This dissertation considers the implementation of exception handling specifically for functional languages. Some implementations incur overhead for using exception handling even when no exceptions are raised. We show the ...
