Belief Networks as Approximated Models for Testing the Design in Production
(2021-07)A software design methodology is proposed involving the development of approximate models based on reputation systems and Bayesian Networks capturing probabilistic representations of expected behavior, which are further ... -
Benthic Foraminiferal Distributions in a Shallow Subtropical Estuary and the Influence of Environmental Factors
(2016-12)Benthic foraminiferal communities are potentially useful tools for assessing and monitoring estuarine ecosystems and as bioindicators of water quality and pollution. To evaluate this indicator for the Indian River Lagoon ... -
Benthic marine calcifiers coexist with CaCO3-undersaturated seawater worldwide.
(2016-07-01)Ocean acidification and decreasing seawater saturation state with respect to calcium carbonate (CaCO3) minerals have raised concerns about the consequences to marine organisms that build CaCO3 structures. A large proportion ... -
BENTHIC RESTING CYSTS OF GONYAULAX MONILATA HOWELL AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO RED TIDES IN THE INDIAN RIVER, FLORIDA
(1982)Gonyaulax monilata cysts were found in the sediments from 13 of 37 stations sampled in the Indian River, Florida. The distribution of cysts appears to be the result of 2 unrelated phenomena. In areas where blooms have ... -
BENTHIC TESTACIDA (RHIZOPODA, PROTOZOA) OF LAKE WASHINGTON, BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA
(1982)Benthic Testacida from sediments of Lake Washington were studied. The Testacida were extracted using standard foraminiferologic techniques. The determined taxa were photographed using scanning electron microscopy. Twenty-one ... -
Best proximity pairs for upper semicontinuous set-valued maps in hyperconvex metric spaces
(2008-11-05)A best proximity pair for a set-valued map F : A → B with respect to a map g : A → A is defined, and new existence theorems of best proximity pairs for upper semicontinuous set-valued maps with respect to a homeomorphism ... -
Best proximity pairs theorems for continuous set-valued maps
(2008-12-30)A best proximity pair for a set-valued map F : A -○ B with respect to a set-valued map G : A -○ A is defined, and a new existence theorem of best proximity pairs for continuous set-valued maps is proved in nonexpansive ... -
Better safe than sorry? Examining the effectiveness of defensive impression management and supplication techniques in attracting minority applicants to public safety careers
(2021-12)The recent media coverage of fatal interactions between police officers and unarmed Black citizens has led to increased calls for law enforcement agencies to diversify their departments. However, many agencies struggle ... -
Beyond Resource Depletion: An Examination of Sleepiness, Self-Regulation, and Goal Progress
(2021-12)Research on employee sleepiness and self-regulation has primarily adopted a resource depletion perspective. However, other theoretical frameworks suggest additional processes may be involved. The current study explored ... -
Bias correction of 10m wind forecasts near a coastal estuary in East Central Florida
(2015-01-11)The lagoon is long (250 km), skinny (2 - 8 km wide), and shallow (1 - 3 m in depth). Fetch is limited in most wind directions, save from the NNW (340°) and the SSE (160°). Flow in the lagoon is primarily wind-driven, ... -
Big Data Medical Diagnostics System/
Misplaced ECG leads are estimated to be the cause of as much as 4% of misleading results1 given to patients, occasionally causing fatalities^2. This project seeks to replace current leads with a pad of ECG electrodes, ... -
Bio Exo Skulder – The Shoulder Brace
The shoulder joint is: •A ball-and-socket joint (3 degree of freedom) •Stabilized by the rotator cuff, a group of muscles and tendons •Highly susceptible to injury •Difficult to repair due to its complexity -
A Bio-inspired Classification System for Cyber-Physical-Human Identity Resolution
(2020-05)The Internet has created a need for understanding complex technology and identities today. Cybercrime can take years to solve, and a systematic design may aid in more rapid resolution. Classification of identities involves ... -
Biodiversity of the Indian River Lagoon System: a cautionary tale from the birds
(2021-01)Prevailing dogma on comparative biodiversity of the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) stems mainly from one claim about ichthyofauna and two about avifauna. The extensive network of birdwatchers, clarity of bird taxonomy, long ... -
Biofabrication: 3D Printing for Tissue Engineering
Biofabrication is the use of additive manufacturing (3D printing) for biological applications. The ultimate goal of biofabrication is to print viable organs for transplantation using patients’ own cells. In order for ... -
Bioink Optimization and Effects of Microgravity on 3D Bioprinted Cell Laden Constructs
(2021-05)Bioengineered 3D tissue constructs have gained attention as in vitro tools for the study of cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions and are being explored for potential use as experimental models for mimicking human tissues. ... -
A Biological Assessment of Oyster Restoration Mats throughout the Indian River Lagoon: Changes in Community Composition and Filtration Capacity of Living Docks
(2021-08)Like many estuaries worldwide, the Indian River Lagoon (IRL), has seen a decline in resources and overall water quality due to human activities. There is a growing interest in implementing ecological engineering methods ... -
BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF DREDGING IN AN OFFSHORE BORROW AREA.
(1985)Changes in benthic fauna were monitored following excavation of an offshore borrow area in the vicinity of Fort Pierce Inlet, Florida. Sampling stations were established along 2 transects located in the borrow area, 1 ... -
