Disparity determination using multilevel products
(2005-04-05)We determined the overall disparity from stereo images using multiscale products of disparity values. Using the wavelet transform, we used a multiresolution analysis to calculate disparity values from stereo images at ... -
A displaced supermassive black hole in M87
(2010-06-09)Isophotal analysis of M87, using data from the Advanced Camera for Surveys, reveals a projected displacement of 6.8 ± 0.8 pc (~0farcs1) between the nuclear point source (presumed to be the location of the supermassive black ... -
DISSOLVED OXYGEN CONCENTRATIONS IN FLORIDA'S HUMIC-COLORED WATERS AND WATER QUALITY STANDARD IMPLICATIONS
(1985)The Florida Department of Environmental Regulation has established detailed dissolved oxygen standards for the various classes of surface water in the state. The results of this study and a review of the literature reveal ... -
Distinct Spatiotemporal Regulation of the Cytoprotective Heat Shock Response in Caenorhabditis elegans
(2021-07)Every organism studied to-date utilizes the heat shock response (HSR) to maintain protein-folding homeostasis (proteostasis) during temperature or other protein-folding stress. The HSR has been well characterized using ... -
Distinguishing Adaptation and Adjustment: Effects on Communication and Safety Performance in Dynamic Work Environments
(2018-07)People are different in their capacities in adapting and adjusting to dynamic workplaces. Previous literature lacks the distinction between the two constructs, which results in a lack of understanding in how adaptation ... -
Distributed Collaborative Learning Environments
(1997)The evolution of technologies for the World Wide Web (WWW), computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) and distributed simulation provides new opportunities for education delivery as well as unique perspectives for ... -
Distributed Coordination for Autonomous Guided Vehicles in Multi-agent Systems with Shared Resources
(2018-05)The decentralized path planning technique proposed in this thesis solves major challenges in the domain of MAS. These challenges are trajectory planning and collision avoidance. Generally, in a shared infrastructure where ... -
Distributed GUI testing of iOS applications with HadoopUnit
(2014-05)Smartphones have become an important medium of communication for millions of people. They have come to expect high-quality mobile applications, which have increased the importance of software testing in modern ... -
Distributed Team E-leadership: A Phenomenological Inquiry into Subordinate Perceptions of Career Development
(2019-07)As changes in the global economy coupled with fast-paced advancements in technology continue to evolve and merge, the need to deploy a distributed workforce becomes increasingly important to remain competitive. Just as ... -
Distributed video coding based on constrained rate adaptive low density parity check codes
(2007-01-29)Distributed video coding is an emerging area of research for digital video driven partly by the widespread use of video acquisition devices by the consumers. In this paper, we present a distributed video coding scheme based ... -
Distribution of the hermit crabs Clibanarius vittatus and Pagurus maclaughlinae in the northern Indian River Lagoon, Florida: A reassessment after 30 years
(2011-05)The present distribution of two hermit crabs, Clibanarius vittatus and Pagurus maclaughlinae, was assessed for comparison with a study done more than 30 yr ago on decapods of the region. Clibanarius vittatus presently ... -
Distributions of Polychaetes as a Function of Sediment Composition in a Subtropical Lagoon
(2017-10)Fine-grained organic-rich sediments (FGORS) in the Indian River Lagoon (IRL), Florida, the human activities and nutrient inputs and have a varied composition, including water content, silt-clay content, and organic matter. ... -
Divergent Regulatory Roles of NuRD Chromatin Remodeling Complex Subunits GATAD2 and CHD4 in Caenorhabditis elegans
(2021-07)During stress, a protective cellular network known as the heat shock response (HSR) is induced to maintain protein-folding homeostasis, or proteostasis. While the HSR is essential for stress resistance, its misregulation ... -
Diverse air-bearing eightless eNvironment
A frictionless torque-free environment is required for spacecraft dynamics research, and can enable a diverse range of experiments involving satellite control systems. A spacecraft dynamics simulator uses airbearing ... -
Diversity partitioning of stony corals across multiple spatial scales around Zanzibar Island, Tanzania
(2010-03-29)The coral reefs of Zanzibar Island (Unguja, Tanzania) encompass a considerable proportion of the global coralreef diversity and are representative of the western Indian Ocean region. Unfortunately, these reefs have been ... -
Divestment of Strategic Resources in a Hypercompetitive, Capital Intensive, Knowledge Based Industry
(2018-05)This dissertation creates a model explaining the factors that drive the decision by a semiconductor firm to divest a specific strategic resource. The dissertation is based on a case study of a medium size semiconductor ... -
Do cosmic ray air showers initiate lightning?: A statistical analysis of cosmic ray air showers and lightning mapping array data
(2017)It has been argued in the technical literature, and widely reported in the popular press, that cosmic ray air showers (CRASs) can initiate lightning via a mechanism known as relativistic runaway electron avalanche (RREA), ...
