A Transaction Model To Improve Data Availability In Mobile Computing, Sanjay Kumar Madria, Bharat Bhargava Sep 2001

A Transaction Model To Improve Data Availability In Mobile Computing, Sanjay Kumar Madria, Bharat Bhargava

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

We incorporate a prewrite operation before a write operation in a mobile transaction to improve data availability. A prewrite operation does not update the state of a data object but only makes visible the future value that the data object will have after the final commit of the transaction. Once a transaction reads all the values and declares all the prewrites, it can pre-commit at mobile host (MH) (computer connected to unreliable mobile communication network). The remaining transaction's execution (writes on database) is shifted to the mobile service station (MSS) (computer connected to the reliable fixed network). Writes on database …


The Relationship Between Single-Sex And Co-Educational Environments On Socioemotional Development, Jennifer M. Bonds-Raacke, Sandra D. Nicks Sep 2001

The Relationship Between Single-Sex And Co-Educational Environments On Socioemotional Development, Jennifer M. Bonds-Raacke, Sandra D. Nicks

Modern Psychological Studies

There have been many debates over the advantages and disadvantages of single-sex education with regards to socioemotional development. Although some research shows that girls are often neglected in the classroom when boys are present, other research states that single-sex education may not be as beneficial as thought. The purpose of this study was to examine the discrepancies between previous research on single-sex and co-educational environments in relation to socioemotional development. Specifically, we investigated the differences in perceived competence, self-esteem, locus of control, and perceived social support. Within these areas of socioemotional development, we expect differences to exist based on educational …


Optical Properties Of Ceo2 Films Prepared From Colloidal Suspension, V. Petrovsky, B. P. Gorman, Harlan U. Anderson, T. Petrovsky Sep 2001

Optical Properties Of Ceo2 Films Prepared From Colloidal Suspension, V. Petrovsky, B. P. Gorman, Harlan U. Anderson, T. Petrovsky

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Electronic Materials Applied Research Center, University of Missouri-Rolla, Rolla, Missouri 65409-1170 Optical absorption of nanocrystalline thin films can be influenced by the presence of both porosity and grain size effects. If both are present simultaneously, their effects are difficult to separate. In this study it is shown that the combination of uv-vis transmittance and reflectance measurements on porous CeO2 films provides enough data to make this separation. The CeO2 films were prepared by deposition of nanosized (∼5 nm) particles from a water colloidal suspension onto sapphire and subjecting these films to sintering temperatures sufficiently high to provide a …

Tunable Local Polariton Modes In Semiconductors, Michael G. Foygel, Alexey Yamilov, Lev I. Deych, Alexander A. Lisyansky Sep 2001

Tunable Local Polariton Modes In Semiconductors, Michael G. Foygel, Alexey Yamilov, Lev I. Deych, Alexander A. Lisyansky

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

We study the local states within the polariton band gap that arise due to deep defect centers with strong electron-phonon coupling. Electron transitions involving deep levels may result in alteration of local elastic constants. In this case, substantial reversible transformations of the impurity polariton density of states occur, which include the appearance/disappearance of the polariton impurity band, and its shift and/or the modification of its shape. These changes can be induced by thermo- and photoexcitation of the localized electron states or by trapping of injected charge carriers. We develop a simple model, which is applied to the Op center …


Strong Enhancement Of Superconducting TC In Ferromagnetic Phases, Theodore R. Kirkpatrick, Dietrich Belitz, Thomas Vojta, Rajesh S. Narayanan Sep 2001

Strong Enhancement Of Superconducting TC In Ferromagnetic Phases, Theodore R. Kirkpatrick, Dietrich Belitz, Thomas Vojta, Rajesh S. Narayanan

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

It is shown that the critical temperature for spin-triplet, p-wave superconductivity mediated by spin fluctuations is generically much higher in a Heisenberg ferromagnetic phase than in a paramagnetic one, due to the coupling of the magnons to the longitudinal magnetic susceptibility. Together with the tendency of the low-temperature ferromagnetic transition in very clean Heisenberg magnets to be of first order, this qualitatively explains the phase diagram recently observed in UGe2.


Nature Of Charge Carriers In Disordered Molecular Solids: Are Polarons Compatible With Observations?, Paul Ernest Parris, Vasudev M. Kenkre, David H. Dunlap Sep 2001

Nature Of Charge Carriers In Disordered Molecular Solids: Are Polarons Compatible With Observations?, Paul Ernest Parris, Vasudev M. Kenkre, David H. Dunlap

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

Polaronic theories for charge transport in disordered organic solids, particularly molecularly doped polymers, have been plagued by issues of internal consistency related to the magnitude of physical parameters. We present a natural resolution of the problem by showing that, in the presence of correlated disorder, polaronic carriers with binding energies Δ ~ 50 - 500 meV and transfer integrals J ~ 1 - 20 meV are completely consistent with the magnitudes of field and temperature dependent mobilities observed.

Using Neural Networks To Estimate Wind Turbine Power Generation, Shuhui Li, Donald C. Wunsch, Edgar O'Hair, Michael G. Giesselmann Sep 2001

Using Neural Networks To Estimate Wind Turbine Power Generation, Shuhui Li, Donald C. Wunsch, Edgar O'Hair, Michael G. Giesselmann

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

This paper uses data collected at Central and South West Services Fort Davis wind farm to develop a neural network based prediction of power produced by each turbine. The power generated by electric wind turbines changes rapidly because of the continuous fluctuation of wind speed and direction. It is important for the power industry to have the capability to perform this prediction for diagnostic purposes—lower-than-expected wind power may be an early indicator of a need for maintenance. In this paper, characteristics of wind power generation are first evaluated in order to establish the relative importance for the neural network. A …

Book Review: Grazing Management, 2nd Ed., Lowell E. Moser

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Grazing management is critical in obtaining optimum production from grasslands and maintaining the grazing resource. Grazing management involves a complex relationship among the herbivores, vegetation, and other biotic and abiotic factors. Proper grazing management of grazing lands has a tremendous importance in agriculture and natural resource conservation because much of the earth’s surface is covered with grazable vegetation. This book is an updated second edition of Grazing Management, which was first published in 1990. This edition is increased in size and coverage compared with the first edition.. A lot of progress in grazing management has been made in the 11 …

Nonparametric Techniques To Extract Fuzzy Rules For Breast Cancer Diagnosis Problem, Manish Sarkar, Tze-Yun Leong

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

This paper addresses breast cancer diagnosis problem as a pattern classification problem. Specifically, the problem is studied using Wisconsin-Madison breast cancer data set. Fuzzy rules are generated from the input-output relationship so that the diagnosis becomes easier and transparent for both patients and physicians. For each class, at least one training pattern is chosen as the prototype, provided (a) the maximum membership of the training pattern is in the given class, and (b) among all the training patterns, the neighborhood of this training pattern has the least fuzzy-rough uncertainty in the given class. Using the fuzzy-rough uncertainty, a cluster is …

Literary Careers: Breaks And Stalls, W. Ray Crozier Sep 2001

Literary Careers: Breaks And Stalls, W. Ray Crozier

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In his article, "Literary Careers: Breaks and Stalls," W. Ray Crozier argues that biographical evidence points to considerable individual variation in writers' output over the life span even when allowance is made for longevity and length of writing career. This issue has been neglected by psychological accounts of creativity. Crozier outlines a theoretical framework for understanding variation in terms of an "artistic career." This is conceptualised as a sequence of projects, the success of which are influenced by intra-project factors such as the rewardingness and difficulties of literary projects and extra-project factors such as work pressures, poverty, and competing demands …


A Psychological Outline Of "Yerma's Dream", Antonio Fusco, Rosella Tomassoni Sep 2001

A Psychological Outline Of "Yerma's Dream", Antonio Fusco, Rosella Tomassoni

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In their article "A Psychological Outline of 'Yerma's Dream'" Fusco and Tomassoni examine the world of Lorca in his play. Fusco and Tomassoni present an examination of the psychological characteristics of this world, and focus their attention upon a dream of one its female protagonists. Yerma is observed to be a heroine of "sterility" -- or rather, the heroine of an impossibility to love. The heroics of this impossibility is interpreted according to the social constraints made upon women within a male dominated society. These constraints are said to surface symptomatically within her own dream world -- as a heroine …


The Perception Of The Song And Its Video Clip, Mariselda Tessarolo Sep 2001

The Perception Of The Song And Its Video Clip, Mariselda Tessarolo

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In her article, "The Perception of the Song and Its Video Clip," Mariselda Tessarolo examines the relationship between image and music within promotional video clips. Tessarolo observes that images underline the music, where the song marks the rhythm to be given over (and into) the images. As a consequence, emotion prevails over narration within video clips: Affect is their desired effect. The Schwichtenberg typology is used to determine the nature of the relation between emotional and perceptual response. Video clips were classified according to the way they enact this relation, and 100 university students provided the responses to be evaluated. …
