• #### Keep up or drown: adjustment of western Pacific coral reefs to sea-level rise in the 21st century ﻿

(2015-07-22)
Since the Mid-Holocene, some 5000 years ago, coral reefs in the Pacific Ocean have been vertically constrained by sea level. Contemporary sea-level rise is releasing these constraints, providing accommodation space for ...
• #### KEPLER 453 b - THE 10th KEPLER TRANSITING CIRCUMBINARY PLANET ﻿

(2015-08-10)
We present the discovery of Kepler-453 b, a 6.2 RƟ planet in a low-eccentricity, 240.5 day orbit about an eclipsing binary. The binary itself consists of a 0.94 and 0.195 M☉ pair of stars with an orbital period of 27.32 ...
• #### Kepler eclipsing binary stars. VII. The catalog of eclipsing binaries found in the entire Kepler data set ﻿

(2016-03)
The primary Kepler Mission provided nearly continuous monitoring of ∼200,000 objects with unprecedented photometric precision. We present the final catalog of eclipsing binary systems within the 105 deg2 Kepler field ...
• #### The Kepler Light Curve of V344 Lyrae: Constraining the Thermal-viscous Limit Cycle Instability ﻿

(2010-11-29)
We present time-dependent modeling based on the accretion disk limit cycle model for a 270 d light curve of the short-period SU UMa-type dwarf nova V344 Lyr taken by Kepler. The unprecedented precision and cadence (1 minute) ...
• #### The Kepler Light Curves of V1504 Cygni and V344 Lyrae: A Study of the Outburst Properties ﻿

(2012-02-23)
We examine the Kepler light curves of V1504 Cyg and V344 Lyr, encompassing ~736 days at one-minute cadence. During this span each system exhibited ~64–65 outbursts, including 6 superoutbursts. We find that, in both systems, ...
• #### Keyword spotting using normalization of posterior probability confidence measures ﻿

(2005-04-09)
Keyword spotting techniques deal with recognition of predefined vocabulary keywords from a voice stream. This research uses HMM based keyword spotting algorithms for this purpose. The three most important components of a ...
• #### The Kinematics and X-ray Emission Mechanism of the Large-Scale Jet of 3C 111 ﻿

(2016-12)
Relativistic jets are the most energetic manifestation of the active galactic nucleus (AGN) phenomenon. AGN jets are observed from the radio through gamma rays and carry copious amounts of matter and energy from the ...
• #### King Park Indicator ﻿

The project will use a fiber optic sensor embedded in a protective mat to detect a moving vehicle and classify it. The fiber optic cable will work as a microbend sensor and be designed to provide recordable attenuation ...
• #### The Knowledge and Beliefs of Childhood Sexual Abuse (CSA) Professionals on the Use of Animal-Assisted Activities (AAA) and Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) in Forensic Interviews ﻿

(2017-01)
The present study aimed at exploring the current level of knowledge of professionals in the field on Childhood Sexual Abuse (CSA), childhood memory development, and the legal aspects of CSA cases, as well as surveying ...
• #### KnowSmart ﻿

KnowSmart is our team's innovative approach towards implementing smart house technology that is quickly emerging on today's market. Management of the home is done by a central command server. Multiple modules on devices ...
• #### KOI-3158: The oldest known system of terrestrial-size planets ﻿

(2015-09-23)
The first discoveries of exoplanets around Sun-like stars have fueled efforts to find ever smaller worlds evocative of Earth and other terrestrial planets in the Solar System. While gas-giant planets appear to form ...

• #### The Kolmogorov equation with time-measurable coefficients ﻿

(2003-07-13)
Using both probabilistic and classical analytic techniques, we investigate the parabolic Kolmogorov equation  L_t v +\frac {\partial v}{\partial t}\equiv \frac 12 a^{ij}(t)v_{x^ix^j} +b^i(t) v_{x^i} -c(t) v+ f(t) ...
• #### Lactose variability of Escherichia coli in thermally stressed reactor effluent waters ﻿

(1978)
Lactose-utilizing and nalidixic acid-resistant populations of Escherichia coli, having an optimum growth temperature of 37°C, were placed in modified diffusion chambers. The chambers were submerged in the epilimnion and ...
• #### Lajos Takács and his work ﻿

(1994-10-01)
This paper, written in honor of the 70th birthday of Lajos Takács, addresses his life and work, and includes some personal observations and appreciation of his contributions. In particular, it includes a short biography, ...
• #### Language Relations on Twitter: A Network Science Approach ﻿

(2017-04)
Online social networks (e.g., Twitter and Facebook) play a vital role in the spreading of information in today’s world. Interestingly, the spread of information is enabled by the existence of an underlying connectivity ...
• #### Late Holocene Climate and Vegetation Change in Central Michigan ﻿

(2017-05)
Understanding the effects of drought and temperature change on eastern North America will be key in the context of future climate change. Perhaps the best method to understand how drought and temperature will impact this ...
• #### Layered analytical radiative transfer model for simulating water color of coastal waters and algorithm development ﻿
