Exploiting The Synergy Between Peer-To-Peer And Mobile Ad Hoc Networks, Y. Charlie Hu, Saumitra M. Das, Himabindu Pucha

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

We argue that there exists a synergy between peer-to-peer (p2p) overlay networks for the Internet and mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) connecting mobile nodes communicating with each other via multi-hop wireless links { both share the key characteristics of self- organization and decentralization, and both need to solve the same fundamental problem, that is, how to provide connectivity in a completely decentralized environment. We propose Dynamic P2P Source Routing (DPSR), a new routing protocol for MANETs that exploits the synergy between P2P and MANET for increased scalability. By integrating DSR and a topology-aware structured P2P overlay routing protocol, DPSR limits …

European Adaptation To Expeditionary Warfare: Implications For The U.S. Army, Andrew M. Dorman Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

The author briefly examines the European response to the changing security environment and the opportunities presented by the European Security and Defense Policy Expeditionary Force. As he correctly observes, the establishment of a European expeditionary force will be no easy matter, will require substantial investment, and will take years to complete. However, it is the right course for Europe to take. The European Union (EU) cannot manage emerging security issues using Cold War legacy forces because they are too ponderous to deploy. A lighter, more nimble expeditionary force is critical to EU policy. The author also points out that the …

Curie Temperature Of Fept:B2O3 Nanocomposite Films, H. Zeng, Renat F. Sabirianov, O. Mryasov, M.L. Yan, K. Cho, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

We report results on experimental and theoretical studies of structural and magnetic properties of FePt: B₂O₃ nanocomposite films. It was found for films prepared by magnetron sputtering with subsequent annealing that lattice parameters a and c of fct FePt change with significantly different rates with increase of the B₂O₃ fraction. As a consequence, fundamental magnetic properties change markedly, with the Curie temperature decreasing by 36% for 25% FePt volume fraction compared with the bulk value. Using an ab initio parametrization of magnetic interactions, we propose statistical model of thermal fluctuations in fct FePt, which …

Obstetric Performance Of A Patient With Multiple Uterine And Cervical Fibroids And Expectant Management Of Retained Placenta, Mahfuza H. Begum, Mohamed S. Mustafa

Saudi Medical Journal

The aim of this case report is to describe the obstetric performance of a patient with multiple uterine and supravaginal cervical fibroids. A 36-year-old, gravida 3 para 0+2 with multiple uterine and cervical fibroids presented with inevitable abortion at 17 weeks gestation. She had a spontaneous rupture of membranes followed by expulsion of fetus as breech with entrapment of aftercoming head by a cervical fibroid. Oxytocin infusion and digital traction were able to deliver the fetus. The placenta, however, was trapped in the fundal area and could not be delivered under general anesthesia because of mechanical obstruction by the fibroid. …

Male And Female Juvenile Delinquency: An Assessment Of Contextual Differences In Offending, Mark A. Cunningham

Student Work

This thesis examines data on gender and the incidence and prevalence of delinquent and criminal offending, as well as gender differences in the context of offending for a sample of high school students in Omaha, Nebraska. Context refers to the specific attributes of a particular offense, whose interrelationship describes both the features and the circumstances of the offense. A focus on gender differences in the context of offending highlights how gender impacts the structural and social conditions that are related to commission of delinquent and criminal acts, and the findings of this study underscore the importance of this research. Results …

Spotted Substrates For Focal Presentation Of Proteins To Cells, Terrance Kummer, Hiroshi Nishimune, Rachel Wong, Joshua Sanes

Open Access Publications

Neurites and other cell processes encounter localized deposits of signaling factors as they grow. The difficulty in generating patterned artificial substrates has hindered the analysis of these instructive factors in vitro. Here we report a simple method for presenting cultured cells with small spots of protein on an otherwise uniform substrate. We use a biolistic device called a gene gun to deposit 0.1-5 microm fluorescent dots of pure protein on or beneath a growth-promoting substrate. Using this technique, we demonstrate local presynaptic differentiation of motoneurons in response to dots of a polycation. We also show that biotin-avidin and antibody-antigen interactions …

Why Does Voting Get So Complicated? : A Review Of Theories For Analyzing Democratic Participation., Jeff Gill, Jason Gainous

Faculty and Staff Scholarship

The purpose of this article is to present a sample from the panoply of formal theories on voting and elections to Statistical Science readers who have had limited exposure to such work. These abstract ideas provide a framework for understanding the context of the empirical articles that follow in this volume. The primary focus of this theoretical literature is on the use of mathematical formalism to describe electoral systems and outcomes by modeling both voting rules and human behavior. As with empirical models, these constructs are never perfect descriptors of reality, but instead form the basis for understanding fundamental characteristics …

Individual-Systemic Violence: Disabled Women’S Standpoint, Maria Barile

Journal of International Women's Studies

This article presents an insider reflection on questions of violence and women with disabilities. We explore reasons for the systemic omission of women with disabilities from mainstream research and from services addressing non-disabled women’s experiences. Several questions are postulated. Has segregation of women with disabilities from the mainstream rendered a large part of their experiences, including the experience of violence, invisible? Have misconceptions about the lives of women with disabilities contributed to exclusionary practices within the women’s movement?

This article further submits that violence against women with disabilities assumes many forms, both individual and systemic. It explores several factors, among …

Who Will Empower The Better Half? Social Dynamics In Operation, Debabrata Lahiri, Santanu Mitra

Journal of International Women's Studies

In a game theoretic framework it can be argued that a gender sensitive institution is an offshoot of certain social conditions, which in most cases need to be acted upon by some anti-establishment catalytic agent. Given the fact that among about half of the population there is a need for such an institution, the main function of a catalytic agent is to engineer a conversion of that need into an active demand. In a society characterized by gender exploitation, catalytic agent can only come exogenously. For a sub-society it is easier to come across such an exogenous catalytic agent. The …

War And The Contest Over National Identity, Roberta L. Coles

Social and Cultural Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

This paper looks at a recent historical moment in which the American national identity was defined and contested in the public arena. The Persian Gulf crisis of 1990-91 presents a case in point in which official actors attempted to define the American character and in doing so prescribed particular actions necessary to fulfill what it means to be an American. President George Bush’s discourse used the crisis to rejuvenate US prestige and American confidence. He described Americans as unique in esteemed values and America as the only country capable of leading the world. In so doing, he invited American participation …

Effect Of Sucrose Esters On Isothermal Crystallization And Rheological Behaviors Of Blends Of High-Melting Milk Fat Fraction And Sunflower Oil, M. C. Puppo, Silvana Martini, R. W. Hartel, M. L. Herrera

Nutrition, Dietetics, and Food Sciences Faculty Publications

Crystallization kinetics and rhelogical behavior of blends of high-melting milk-fat fraction (HMF) and sunflower oil (SFO) with and without addition of the sucrose esters P-170, S-170, and P-1670 were investigated. Addition of sucrose esters delayed crystallization, as was evidenced by the longer induction times of crystallization (t) and the lower maximum solid fat content (Smax). Values of penetration force and time corresponding to the 1st peak of curves force compared with time also diminished with addition of SFO. When sucrose esters were added, a solid fat content greater than 10% at the 1st crystallization temperature was necessary to give a …

A Case Study In Volunteer Management: Volunteer Stress At A Northern California Rape Crisis Center, Holly Tedford

Master's Theses

This research project is a case study of a rape crisis center's volunteer program. Because the volunteers respond to recent victims of sexual assault in hospital emergency rooms, the study was designed to examine the stressors arising from their confrontation of such emotionally volatile situations. The study focused on the stressors volunteers experienced, how they coped, how the rape crisis center's training program prepared volunteers for job stress, what rape crisis center employees did to mitigate volunteers' job-related stress, and how effective volunteers perceived these efforts to be. The research project also compared the stress experienced by rape crisis volunteers …
