Qualitative Analysis of the Nonlinear Double Degenerate Parabolic Equation of Turbulent Filtration with Absorption
(2019-05)The goal of the dissertation is to pursue qualitative analysis of the mathematical model of turbulent polytropic filtration of a gas in a porous media with reaction or absorption described by the second order nonlinear ... -
A Qualitative Study of Florida Tech Graduate Teaching Assistants’ Response to Coaching, Video Playback, and Coaching Paired with Video Playback with Regard to their Concerns, Self-Reflections, and Practice of Teaching
(2014-08)Florida Tech’s campus-wide GTA professional development training, the GTA Seminar, has no clear theory on which it was designed, employs only measures of satisfaction and open-ended feedback, and performs limited follow-up ... -
Quantification of Frictional Drag due to Biofouling on In-Service Ships
(2016-09)The purpose of this research was to improve the quantification of frictional drag due to biofouling on in-service ships by advancing the knowledge and methodology used to study the interactions between fouling communities ... -
Quantification of in vivo oxidative damage in Caenorhabditis elegans during aging by endogenous F3-isoprostane measurement
(2013-01-30)Oxidative damage is thought to be a major cause in development of pathologies and aging. However, quantification of oxidative damage is methodologically difficult. Here, we present a robust liquid chromatography-tandem ... -
Quantifying software maintainability on re-engineered translation of FORTRAN to C++ code
(2004-10-05)Due to the expanding existence of old software, legacy systems, and obsolete platforms with many industries, software re-engineering has become a widespread methodology that assists engineers and software practitioners ... -
Quantifying the AGN-driven outflows in ULIRGs (QUADROS) – II. Evidence for compact outflow regions from HST [O III] imaging observations
(2018-05-05)The true importance of the warm, AGN-driven outflows for the evolution of galaxies remains uncertain. Measurements of the radial extents of the outflows are key for quantifying their masses and kinetic powers, and also ... -
Quantifying uncertainty and resilience on coral reefs using a Bayesian approach
(2013-12)Coral reefs are rapidly deteriorating globally. The contemporary management option favors managing for resilience to provide reefs with the capacity to tolerate human-induced disturbances. Yet resilience is most commonly ... -
A Quantitative Analysis of the Robinson R44 Performance Characteristics
(2020-08)The Robinson R44 is the most prolific civil helicopter in the world with over 6,000 delivered to customers since 1992. Approved for normal category flight by the FAA through 14 CFR Parts 21 and 27, the accompanying Pilot's ... -
Quantitative characterization of resistive defects in thick composites using step heating thermography
(2008-03-17)Inspection of thick composite structures, such as Reinforced Thermosetting Resin (RTR) pipes used in the petroleum industry, using infrared thermography is difficult. This paper investigates the use of step heating ... -
Quantitative constraints on the transport properties of hot partonic matter from semi-inclusive single high transverse momentum pion suppression in Au+Au collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV
(2008-06-24)The PHENIX experiment has measured the suppression of semi-inclusive single high-transverse-momentum π0's in Au+Au collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV. The present understanding of this suppression is in terms of energy loss of ... -
Quantitative Measurement Techniques for Vibration and Buffet
(2018-12)This paper outlines a proposed parameter for measurement of vibration and buffet in vehicles. It is intended to be used where applicable in lieu of raw accelerometer data or qualitative comments to measure ride quality, ... -
The Quantum Biology of Reactive Oxygen Species Partitioning Impacts Cellular Bioenergetics
(2016-12-20)Quantum biology is the study of quantum effects on biochemical mechanisms and biological function. We show that the biological production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in live cells can be influenced by coherent electron ... -
Quantum theory of the linewidth of a laser with a saturable absorber: Phase diffusion
(1998-07-01)A quantum theory of the spectral width of a laser with a saturable absorber is presented. We perform a density matrix calculation yielding the off-diagonal element ρ n,n+1(t) which is proportional to the average value of ... -
Quasilinearization for Some Nonlocal Problems
(1993)The method of generalized quasilinearization [4] is applied to study semilinear parabolic equation ut – Lu = f{t,x,u) with nonlocal boundary conditions u(t,x)=∫Ωϕ(x,y)u(t,y)dy in this paper. The convexity of f in u is ... -
A queueing system with a fixed accumulation level, random server capacity and capacity dependent service time
(1992)This paper introduces a bulk queueing system with a single server processing groups of customers of a variable size. If upon completion of service the queueing level is at least r the server takes a batch of size r and ... -
A Queueing Theory-Based Modeling and Performance Analysis of Push-To-Talk over Cellular Networks
(2019-05)Public Safety organizations play a vital role in emergencies. Their ultimate goal is to protect people and save lives and properties during disasters. Public safety communities have been using narrowband Trunking systems ... -
