Three forums were held between February 2015 and November 2016, bringing together Texas water experts from business, industry, government, academia, research, and the investment community in impartially facilitated sessions to deter-mine ways to secure Texas’ water future through accelerating growth of infrastructure, technologies, research, education, and sustainable use. Consensus emerged after the first forum that Texas is approaching a water crisis reflecting matters of supply, allocation, and quality that demands immediate action to ensure water security and equitable access to this vital resource. Participant focus rested on new technology acceleration and investment, workforce education, research underway and desired by segments …

Evaluating Network Test Scenarios For Network Simulators Systems, A. Zarrad, Izzat M. Alsmadi Jan 2017

Evaluating Network Test Scenarios For Network Simulators Systems, A. Zarrad, Izzat M. Alsmadi

Computer Science Faculty Publications

Networks continue to grow as industries use both wired and wireless networks. Creating experiments to test those networks can be very expensive if conducted on production networks; therefore, the evaluation of networks and their performance is usually conducted using emulation. This growing reliance on simulation raises the risk of correctness and validation. Today, many network simulators have widely varying focuses and are employed in different fields of research. The trustworthiness of results produced from simulation models must be investigated. The goal of this work is first to compare and assess the performance of three prominent network simulators—NS-2, NS-3, and OMNet++—by …


Online Integrity And Authentication Checking For Quran Electronic Versions, Izzat M. Alsmadi, M. Zarour Jan 2017

Online Integrity And Authentication Checking For Quran Electronic Versions, Izzat M. Alsmadi, M. Zarour

Computer Science Faculty Publications

The ability to control data and information through the Internet can be challenging. Preliminary analysis showed that some tampering and forgery may occur to some words of the Quran in the electronic versions that span the Internet. Such small modifications may not be noticed by public audience. The holy book of Quran includes a unique feature in that its worldwide copies are all identical. The 114 chapters (Suras) and all their verses and words are preserved in the exact form. As such, we designed and evaluated a model and a tool to evaluate the integrity of the wording in the …


Future Water Stewardship And Fact-Based Water Policy: An Aquatic Science Education Pathway Model, Rudolph A. Rosen, Erin Scanlon, Johnnie Smith Jan 2017

Future Water Stewardship And Fact-Based Water Policy: An Aquatic Science Education Pathway Model, Rudolph A. Rosen, Erin Scanlon, Johnnie Smith

Water Resources Science and Technology Faculty Publications

Texas Aquatic Science originated from a project seeking better ways to educate students about water because of concern that current education was failing to promote good decisions about water by adult citizens and political leaders.A comprehensive water education curriculum was developed to engage learners from middle school through universityusing an education pathway to create water-savvy citizens of tomorrow who will take personal action to ensure effective stewardship of water and support evidence-based waterpolicies. This paper will describe the pathway and present results of research on the pathway’s effectiveness withmiddle and high school students and teachers.

Existence Of Mild Solutions For Fractional Nonlocal Evolution Equations With Delay In Partially Ordered Banach Spaces, Y. Liang, H. Yang, Kun Gou Jan 2017

Existence Of Mild Solutions For Fractional Nonlocal Evolution Equations With Delay In Partially Ordered Banach Spaces, Y. Liang, H. Yang, Kun Gou

Mathematics Faculty Publications

This paper deals with the existence of mild solutions for the abstract fractional nonlocal evolution equations with noncompact semigroup in partially ordered Banach spaces. Under some mixed conditions, a group of sufficient conditions for the existence of abstract fractional nonlocal evolution equations are obtained by using a Krasnoselskii type fixed point theorem. The results we obtained are a generalization and continuation of the recent results on this issue. At the end, an example is given to illustrate the applicability of abstract result.
