The rates of pseudo-self-exchange electron transfer reactions between [(NH3)5RuIIL]2+ and [(NH3)5RuIIIL’]3+ at reactant concentrations of 1.0 х 10-4 M (where L, L’ = substituted pyridines) and the reaction between [(NH3)5RuIIPy]2+ and [(NH3)5RuIII3FPy]2+ at different reactant concentrations in the presence of various salts added were studied by using the stopped-flow kinetic spectroscopy. Marcus theory rate vs. driving force plots yielded distinct families of lines depending on whether a 3- or 4- …


Efficient Traffic Crash And Snow Complaint Gis System, Anthony B. Ngo Nov 2011

Efficient Traffic Crash And Snow Complaint Gis System, Anthony B. Ngo

School of Computing: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

We describe the design and implementation of a traffic crash and snow complaint GIS system developed for the Lincoln Public Works department. We also describe a novel geocoding algorithm that was used to move data from the older Criminal Justice Information System, which is a relational database, to the new GIS system. In addition, we describe the implementation of several indexing algorithms that enable the system to efficiently answer rectangular range queries and queries about the relative locations of moving objects. Finally, in many applications (on-line analysis or mobile GIS), we need to execute spatial query efficiently (fast and small), …

Advance Bandwidth Scheduling In High-Speed Dedicated Networks, Yunyue Lin

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

An increasing number of high-performance networks provision dedicatedconnections through circuit switching or MPLS/GMPLS techniques to supportlarge data transfer. The link bandwidths in such networks are typicallyshared by multiple users through advance reservation, resulting in varyingbandwidth availability in future time. We investigate a comprehensive set ofadvance bandwidth scheduling problems that are categorized into the followingfour classes. 1) Basic bandwidth scheduling. We formulate four types of problems byexhausting the combinations of different path and bandwidth constraints:fixed/variable path with fixed/variable bandwidth (F/VP-F/VB) with the sameobjective to minimize the data transfer end time for a given date size. ForVPFB and VPVB, we further consider …


Binning Metagenomic Data By Cssr, Rekha Bhaskarabhatla Nov 2011

Binning Metagenomic Data By Cssr, Rekha Bhaskarabhatla

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Metagenomics is the study of microbes in their natural environments without the need for isolation and lab cultivation. The DNA fragments obtained from sequencing of a sample of mixed species requires taxonomic characterization called binning. My research concerns binning of metagenomic data using a novel approach. Each genomic sequence was codified based on their Cistronic Stop Signal Ratio (CSSR) values. Since the genic CSSR values of phylogenetically related organisms often share a definable pattern, a neural network was trained to recognize the genic CSSR patterns of known species.The trained neural network was then used to cluster the CSSR values from …


Understading Multiple Origin As Conflicts, Yaoqing Liu Nov 2011

Understading Multiple Origin As Conflicts, Yaoqing Liu

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Internet routing problems are often difficult to detect and diagnose because one address prefix can be originated by multiple ASes. There is, however, no comprehensive analysis on the causes of Multiple Origin AS (MOAS) conflicts. In this paper, we study the characteristics of MOAS conflicts and compare them with those from 10 years ago. We also provide an in-depth examination of four MOAS causes--IXP, anycast, false origin AS, and origin-AS transition. Furthermore, we propose two heuristics to identify MOAS conflicts caused by false origin ASes and origin-AS transitions. The findings from our study and proposed heuristics can help us design …


Do Exercise Motives Predict Obligatory Exercise?, Mary Pritchard, Jessica L. Beaver Nov 2011

Do Exercise Motives Predict Obligatory Exercise?, Mary Pritchard, Jessica L. Beaver

Psychological Sciences Faculty Publications and Presentations

Few studies have examined whether factors predicting obligatory exercise differ by gender. 303 participants completed the Obligatory Exercise Questionnaire and the Reason for Exercise Inventory. All variables correlated significantly. However, the correlation between exercising for fitness and obligatory exercise was significantly stronger in women than men. In women, obligatory exercise was predicted by exercising to improve body tone, fitness, and to enhance mood; in men, obligatory exercise was predicted by exercising to improve body tone, enjoyment, and perceived attractiveness. Implications for treatment are discussed.

Security Applications Of Formal Language Theory, Len Sassaman, Meredith L. Patterson, Sergey Bratus, Michael E. Locasto, Anna Shubina Nov 2011

Security Applications Of Formal Language Theory, Len Sassaman, Meredith L. Patterson, Sergey Bratus, Michael E. Locasto, Anna Shubina

Computer Science Technical Reports

We present an approach to improving the security of complex, composed systems based on formal language theory, and show how this approach leads to advances in input validation, security modeling, attack surface reduction, and ultimately, software design and programming methodology. We cite examples based on real-world security flaws in common protocols representing different classes of protocol complexity. We also introduce a formalization of an exploit development technique, the parse tree differential attack, made possible by our conception of the role of formal grammars in security. These insights make possible future advances in software auditing techniques applicable to static and dynamic …

The Natural Ear In Arabic Poetry Vs Stress In English Poetry, Gatie Niema Risan Al-Hilfy Nov 2011

The Natural Ear In Arabic Poetry Vs Stress In English Poetry, Gatie Niema Risan Al-Hilfy

Uruk Journal of Human Sciences

This research examines how orientalists are scanning Arabic poetry and tries to reveal that this scanning is influenced by scanning English and European poetry in general which is based on long and short syllables as defined in English phonology. The researcher tries to prove that the English writing system is misleading or even defective because there is no clear definition for the syllable on the one hand and because of the existence of consonant clusters in that system on the other as an accomplished fact which contradicts what is found in the Arabic writing system. A new prosodic transcription has …


Standard Furniture, Adam Rogers Nov 2011

Standard Furniture, Adam Rogers

Theses

I seek simplicity through my intention to establish a particular beauty, a certain calm achieved both visually and through the intangible feel of my furniture - itself simply a reservoir for the collection and ordering of possessions. The result will reflect the balance between the order inherent in the modest furniture forms that follow function and the emphasized personal quality of certain components of the whole. Through exercising restraint in form, the central element is emphasized, thereby omitting the unimportant to magnify the important. I chase an elusive beauty and an ethereal quality in my furniture. I intend to explore …

Makara Journal of Science

The development of male hormonal contraception is based on a decrease in sperm concentration without affecting libido and sexual potency. The combination of depot medroxy progesterone acetate (DMPA) + extract of Javanese long pepper (JLP) with dosages of 0.94 mg and 1.88 mg decreases the concentration of spermatozoa. However, it remains unknown whether the combination influences body weight, hematology, and blood biochemistry. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the effect of DMPA + JLP extracts on the body weight, hematology, and blood biochemistry of male rats (Rattusnorvegicus L.) using Sprague-Dawley strains. The research uses a completely randomized design (CRD); one …

Band Alignment Of Ultrathin Gizo/Sio2/Si Heterostructure Determined By Electron Spectroscopy, Dahlang Tahir, Sri Dewi Astuty Ilyas, Hee Jae Kang

Makara Journal of Science

Amorphous GaInZnO (GIZO) thin films are grown on SiO2/Si substrate by the RF magnetron sputtering method. By the combination of measured band gaps from reflection energy loss spectroscopy (REELS) spectra and valence band from X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra, we have demonstrated the energy band alignment of GIZO thin films. The band gap values are 3.2 eV, 3.2 eV, 3.4eV and 3.6eV for the concentration ratios of Ga: In: Zn in GIZO thin films are 1:1:1, 2:2:1, 3:2:1 and 4:2:1, respectively. These are attributed to the larger band gap energy of Ga2O3 compared with In2O3 and ZnO. The valence band …
