V344 Lyrae: A touchstone Su UMa cataclysmic variable in the Kepler field
(2011-10-24)We report on the analysis of the Kepler short-cadence (SC) light curve of V344 Lyr obtained during 2009 June 20 through 2010 March 19 (Q2-Q4). The system is an SU UMa star showing dwarf nova (DN) outbursts and superoutbursts, ... -
The Vacuum Buffer
(2001)Image-based rendering (IBR) techniques have the potential of alleviating some of the bottlenecks of traditional geometry-based rendering such as modeling difficulty and prohibitive cost of photorealism. One of the most ... -
Validation of an External Bioreactor Filtration Loop Prototype for a Tissue Engineering Test Bed
(2019-05)As a cell line thrives within a culture, some of the cells undergo the natural process of death. Whether it is due to apoptotic or necrotic causes, cell death is a significant hurdle for tissue engineering and cell ... -
Validation of Arterial Distensibility Neural Network Model with Clinical Data
(2021-05)Cardiovascular diseases continue to plague the world as the number one killer of adults each year. As cardiovascular diseases can start with seemingly no symptoms, heart disease has been coined as the silent killer. With ... -
A Validation of the Cross Cultural Competence Navigator
(2017-09)Cross cultural competency (3C) is defined as an individual’s capability to effectively function in culturally diverse contexts, which is influenced by a set of individual antecedents. In the literature 3C has been characterized ... -
Validity and Reliability of a Mini - Situational Judgment Test (SJT) for Pilots
(2014-07)Situational judgment test (SJT) was developed by Hunter (2002) to test pilot judgment. SJT is very useful. However, this test takes too long for participants to complete. A mini-SJT was developed with shortened questions. ... -
Value Based Methodology to Evaluate Sensors for Bridge Structural Health Monitoring Systems
(2016-08-24)Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems have become important tools in the transportation industry to help monitor the behavior and health of civil structures. Today, there is a real concern about the health of bridges ... -
Valued Living and Fibromyalgia
(2020-02)Prior research has attempted to identify links between trauma and chronic illness, specifically, Fibromyalgia (FM). Due to the lack of understanding of the etiology of FM and the high reports of trauma and stress and FM, ... -
Vanishing Connections: Application Resiliency through Cross-Network TCP Migration
(2018-09)Computer applications are subject to a plethora of security challenges, ranging from concerns over network monitoring to avoiding expensive and damaging intrusion and compromise. A vast number of techniques exist to ... -
Vaping, Smoking, Dual Use, and Stealth Vaping/Smoking Among First Responders: Law Enforcement, Firefighters, and Paramedics/Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT)
(2021-10)First Responders to emergencies, such as those within the fields of law enforcement, firefighting, and/or emergency medical services, have a higher use of Electronic Nicotine Delivery System (ENDS)than the population in ... -
Variability of Paralarval-Squid Occurrence in Meter-Net Tows from East of Florida, USA
(2017-12)We attempted to determine cross-shelf, diel, and seasonal distribution patterns of paralarval cephalopods off eastern Florida during a 5-year study that employed both open-net and discrete-depth closing-net sampling. Based ... -
Variability timescales in the M87 jet: signatures of E^2 losses, discovery of a quasi period in HST-1, and the site of TeV flaring
(2009-06-11)We investigate the variability timescales in the jet of M87 with two goals. The first is to use the rise times and decay times in the radio, ultraviolet, and X-ray light curves of HST-1 to constrain the source size and the ... -
Variable-resolution video moire error map system for inspection of continuously manufactured objects
(1993-05-28)Moire techniques can be a powerful tool to determine deviation of a manufactured shape from a desired shape. In a traditional moire system, distorted gratings on an object are viewed through an undistorted grating. The ... -
The Variation in the Occurrence of Diatoms in the External Mucus of Florida Sharks
Elasmobranch skin has been extensively studied for its drag-reducing hydrodynamic structure and its implications for reduction in ship fuel cost1. Shark mucus and biofilm may also have antifouling properties of interest ... -
Variational Lyapunov method and stability theory
(1998)By unifying the method of variation of parameters and Lyapunov's second method, we develop a fruitful technique which we call variational Lyapunov method. We then consider the stability theory in this new framework showing ... -

Variations in Otolith-Zinc Concentrations of Brown Surgeonfish (Acanthurus nigrofuscus) Between Marine Protected Areas and Fished Reefs
(2021-12)As human populations continue to increase, the growing reliance on exploited fish stocks has furthered patterns of declining body size and biomass worldwide. To mitigate these impacts, fisheries managers have implemented ... -
Vasreactor
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. There are numerous issues with finding healthy blood vessels in such patients, with them often having to return to surgery due to bypass failure. Bioreactors ... -
Vegetation Response to Intense Holocene Dry Events in the Andes and Amazon Basin
(2019-05)By using the natural laboratory of past climate change I ask: How resilient are extant tropical forest ecosystems to climatic forcing? Do tropical forests systems show gradualistic or threshold responses to past climate ...
