Extremal Solutions to a Class of Multivalued Integral Equations in Banach Space
(1992)We consider a nonlinear Volterra integral inclusion in a Banach space. We establish the existence of extremal integral solutions, and we show that they are dense in the solution set of the original equation. As an important ... -
The extreme outburst of EX Lup in 2008: Optical spectra and light curve
(2008-03-10)EX Lup is the prototype of EXors, a class of pre-main sequence eruptive variables, exhibiting unpredictable brightenings lasting some months (Herbig, 1977; Herbig et al., 2001; Herbig, 2007). According to the current ... -
Extreme Response Analysis of a Site-specific Offshore Wind Turbine and Offshore Wind Farm Layout Optimization
(2020-12)Offshore floating wind turbines have been developed in deep water where bottom-fixed offshore wind turbines are cost-prohibitive. Gulf of Maine has one of the greatest potential wind energy on the east coast. A detailed ... -
An Extrinsic Fabry-Perot Interferometric Sensor using Intermodal Phase Shifting and Demultiplexing of the Propagating Modes in a Few-Mode Fiber
(2017-05)This dissertation demonstrates a fiber-optic phase shifted Fabry-Perot interferometer (PS-FPI) as a sensor using modal demultiplexing. Single wavelength Fabry-Perot interferometers suffer from fringe ambiguity and loss ... -
Factors Contributing to Millennial Turnover Rates in Department of Defense (DOD) Organizations
(2017-05)According to research, Millennials are becoming the predominant generation in the workforce with only 7% of them working for Department of Defense (DOD) organizations. It is critical for DOD organizations to recognize ... -
FACTORS INFLUENCING SEAGRASS ECOLOGY IN THE INDIAN RIVER LAGOON
(1983)Effects of water depth, water temperature, light intensity, epiphyte coverage, detrital accumulation and sediment resuspension and shifting on seagrass ecology in the Indian River Lagoon system were studied from April 1977 ... -
Factors Leading to a Satisfying Career in Airport Management: Evidence from Airport Managers in Norway
(2014-05)The purpose of this study was to identify factors that influence a person to choose airport manager as a professional career and how these factors relate to the level of satisfaction the person experiences with this career ... -
Factors Related to the Assessment of the Effectiveness of Environmental Management Systems (EMS) at Airports
(2019-05)The purpose of this study was to identify factors that can be used to assess the effectiveness of EMS at airports in the United States (U.S.). A survey research methodology was used for this study in two phases. The first ... -
Factors that Influence the Extent to which Cities on Florida’s Atlantic Coast are Preparing for Climate Change: A multiple regression analysis and learning opportunities for policymakers
(2021-12)This study involved a survey (Appendix A) to leaders of 158 cities inside the counties that border the Atlantic coast of Florida. The impetus behind this study was to identify how policymakers were obtaining, understanding, ... -
A far-ultraviolet study of the hot white dwarf in the dwarf nova WW Ceti
(2006-05)We present a synthetic spectral analysis of IUE archival and FUSE (Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer) far-UV spectra of the peculiar dwarf nova WW Cet. During the quiescence of WW Cet, a white dwarf with T wd ∼ 26,000 ... -
A Fast and Exact Motif Enumeration Algorithm for Dynamic Networks
(2020-12)From social to biological networks, prior research in complex networks have demonstrated the importance of the frequency and distribution of different types of motifs to important network functions and properties. A network ... -
A faster technique for distributed constraint satisfaction and optimization with privacy enforcement
(2004-01-20)A problem that received recent attention is the development of negotiation/cooperation techniques for solving naturally distributed problems with privacy requirements. An important amount of research focused on those ... -
FEASIBILITY STUDY AND HYDRODYNAMICS OF TRANSFORMABLE SUBMERSIBLE HYDROFOIL TRIMARAN
(2019-05)It has been the endeavor of naval architects to design innovative hull forms to address the political, socio-economic climate and sustainability around the world. It is imperative that countries be able to protect their ... -
Feature Based Object Tracking: A Probabilistic Approach
(2016-12)Video analysis is a rich research topic, due to the wide spectrum of applications such as surveillance, activity recognition, security, and event detection. One of the important challenges in video analysis is object ... -
A Feature-Based Approach to Function Modeling and Reasoning for Thermal-Fluid Systems Engineering
(2020-08)This research is focused on extending the language of function modeling by developing CAD-like features that are built using primitive functions. These features are reusable units of functions that represent the working ... -
Feature-based correlation filters for distortion invariance
(1992-07-01)In an optical correlator, binary phase-only filters (BPOFs) that recognize objects that vary in a nonrepeatable way are essential for recognizing objects from actual sensors. An approach is required that is as descriptive ... -
Feature-based correlation filters for object recognition
(1993-02-26)Using an optical correlator, we experimentally evaluated a binary phase-only filter (BPOF) designed to recognize objects not in the training set used to design the filter. Such a filter is essential for recognizing objects ... -
Feedback and Effort: A Translational Study
(2017-07)The purpose of the present study was to evaluate an arrangement to establish feedback as more preferred when delivered after higher effort responding rather than lower effort responding. The study took place in the ... -
