An Identification And Evaluation Of Information Security And Assurance Research Outlets, Michael Whitman, Humayun Zafar, Herbert J. Mattord Dec 2013

An Identification And Evaluation Of Information Security And Assurance Research Outlets, Michael Whitman, Humayun Zafar, Herbert J. Mattord

Faculty Articles

The purpose of this study is to identify and comparatively assess the quality of information security specific publishing venues. Past studies in information systems and computer science have shown that information security-focused research can be published in mainstream information systems- and computer science-centric periodicals; however no studies to date have been found that specifically compared venues focused primarily on information security. Therefore the results of this study, when combined with assessments of publishing venues from those disciplines, can provide a more comprehensive perspective on publishing opportunities for academic authors in information security. Faculty members seeking research recognition should strive to …

Water Baby: A Memoir, Christopher James Cascio Dec 2013

Water Baby: A Memoir, Christopher James Cascio

Stony Brook Theses and Dissertations Collection, 2006-2020 (closed to submissions)

This memoir traces the turbulent relationship between me and my older brother, while simultaneously witnessing the collapse and fall of my family along with our notions of upward social mobility. I've spent over a year interviewing relatives and producing material, ultimately shaping a narrative that unwaveringly draws topics such as violence, child rape, incest, and mental health into the light for investigation and conversation, and still maintains hope that my family and I can heal, and recover. | 263 pages

Small Worlds, Jessica Cira Rubin Dec 2013

Small Worlds, Jessica Cira Rubin

Stony Brook Theses and Dissertations Collection, 2006-2020 (closed to submissions)

This thesis is a work of creative nonfiction, a collection of stories and episodes from the life of a person who saw many different places over the span of a decade, and ended up very close to where she began. As the story begins, the narrator travels through Europe, expecting to be blissfully detached from her complicated family life. It seems she can only get so far before she invites that family life into the new one she is struggling to create. While she travels, forms true friendships, struggles through misguided romances, she attempts to configure her own identity. It …

Fifty years ago, cochlear implants were an idea. Today they define the auditory reality of hundreds of thousands of people. This memoir explores my experience as a pre-lingual hearing impaired child who obtained bilateral cochlear implants in adulthood. | 232 pages


Mapping Vegetation Productivity Dynamics And Degradation Trends Over East Africa Using A Decade Of Medium Resolution Modis Time-Series Data, Tobias Landmann, Olena Dubovyk Dec 2013

Mapping Vegetation Productivity Dynamics And Degradation Trends Over East Africa Using A Decade Of Medium Resolution Modis Time-Series Data, Tobias Landmann, Olena Dubovyk

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

This paper aims to characterize spatial and temporal vegetation productivity trends that could be related to land degradation in East Africa. A decade of AQUA/TERRA-Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite observations on vegetation chlorophyll activity, or Normalized Differential Vegetation Index (NDVI) data, and 25-km rainfall data from the TRMM passive radar instrument were used for the same observation period of 2000-2011. Linear trends in land cover based Rain Use Efficiencies (RUE) corrected NDVI and cumulative differences of RUE between consecutive years from 2000 to 2011 (that is amplitudes) were derived and investigated for their robustness. The trend maps were overlaid …


Integrated Soil Fertility Management: Aggregate Carbon And Nitrogen Stabilization In Differently Textured Tropical Soils, R. M. Gentile, B. Vanlauwe, J. Six Dec 2013

Integrated Soil Fertility Management: Aggregate Carbon And Nitrogen Stabilization In Differently Textured Tropical Soils, R. M. Gentile, B. Vanlauwe, J. Six

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

Soil organic matter is important to improve and sustain soil fertility in tropical agroecosystems. The combined use of organic residue and fertilizer inputs is advocated for its positive effects on short-term nutrient supply, but the effect of the integrated use on long-term stabilization of soil organic C and N is still unclear. We conducted a 1.5-y soil incubation experiment with maize (Zea mays) residue and urea fertilizer to examine the stabilization of C and N in four Sub-Saharan African soils differing in texture (sand, sandy loam, clay loam, and clay). The inputs were enriched with 13C and 15N in a …
