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 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 ... -
Feeding mechanism and functional morphology of the jaws of the lemon shark Negaprion brevirostris (Chondrichthyes, Carcharhinidae)
(1997-11)This study tests the hypothesis that preparatory, expansive, compressive and recovery phases of biting behavior known for aquatically feeding anamniotes are conserved among extant elasmobranch fishes. The feeding mechanism ... -
Feeding preferences of a generalist salt-marsh crab: Relative importance of multiple plant traits
(1998-09)Few studies have evaluated the relative importance of multiple plant traits to herbivore diet choice, especially with an experimental approach. Moreover, although circumstantial evidence points to plant toughness and silica ... -
Female Saudi Arabian Students’ Attitudes, Willingness and Preferences of Communication in Online Educational Settings
(2017-05)This study investigated the impact of age, location, and marital status on the attitudes of Saudi female students’ toward online education. A total number of 135 females participated in the survey. Findings revealed that ... -
Fiber optic sensor for the simultaneous detection of strain and temperature
(1993-03-26)For simple interferometric fiberoptic sensors, the effects of strain and temperature are indistinguishable. This paper addresses that problem by demonstrating a single wavelength, two-mode polarimetric fiberoptic sensor ... -
Fiber-optic sensor and smart structures research at Florida Institute of Technology
(1990-02-05)This paper discusses the fundamental issues being investigated by Florida Institute of Technology (F.I.T.) to implement the technology of smart structural systems for DoD, NASA, and commercial applications. Embedded sensors ... -
Finite Element Analysis of Humerus with Impact at Distal End and the Mechanical Effect of Bone Rehydration
(2018-12)Numerical modeling accuracy is dependent upon correct material property determination and input. This thesis demonstrates the importance in both numerical modeling and material characterization, two aspects of biomedical ... -
Finite Element Method for Assessment of Air Cushion Skirt Performance
(2020-12)The objective of this thesis is to create a method of simulating the performance of new materials for use in air cushion vehicle skirts. These systems currently exhibit unacceptable design lifetimes to be considered for ... -
A Finite State Automata-Based Description of Device States for Function Modeling of Multi-State Technical Devices
(2020-12)Many modern and innovative design problems require multi-modal, reconfigurable solutions. Function modeling (FM) is a common tool used to explore solutions in early stages of mechanical engineering design. Currently, ... -
First excess levels of vector processes
(1994)This paper analyzes the behavior of a point process marked by a two-dimensional renewal process with dependent components about some fixed (two-dimensional) level. The compound process evolves until one of its marks hits ... -
