A Foveated System For Wilderness Search And Rescue In Manned Aircraft, Carson D. Fenimore

Theses and Dissertations

Wilderness search and rescue can be assisted by video searchers in manned aircraft. The video searcher's primary task is to find clues on the ground. Due to altitude, it may be difficult to resolve details on the ground with a standard video camera. As the video streams at a constant frame rate, the searcher may become distracted by other tasks. While handling these tasks the searcher may miss important clues or spend extra time flying over the search area; either outcome decreases both the effectiveness of the video searcher and the chances of successfully finding missing persons. We develop an …

Review Of The Conduct Of Inquiry In International Relations, Daniel Mcarthur

Education and Culture

Book reviews in this journal usually proceed by considering the value of the book in question for Dewey scholarship. In this case I would rather say that this book is of interest to Dewey Scholars. Jackson's general project is heavily informed by Dewey's pluralistic brand of pragmatism. As Jackson notes “Dewey's Logic... stand[s] firmly in the tradition leading to this book” (216). Dewey scholars will greet Jackson's extension of this approach to the study of international relations warmly.

Dewey’S Naturalistic Metaphysics: Expostulations And Replies, Randy L. Friedman

Education and Culture

Critics of Dewey’s metaphysics point to his dismissal of any philosophy which locates ideals in a realm beyond experience. However, Dewey’s sustained critique of dualistic philosophies is but a first step in his reconstruction and recovery of the function of the metaphysical. Detaching the discussion of values from inquiry, whether scientific, philosophical or educational, produces the same end as relegating values to a transcendent realm that is beyond ordinary human discourse. Dewey’s naturalistic metaphysics supports his progressive educational philosophy. The duty of education is grounded in its service to democracy; it must help students develop the ability to express, discuss, …

What Good Is Growth? Reconsidering Dewey On The Ends Of Education, R.W. Hildreth

Education and Culture

One of the most persistent criticisms of John Dewey is his failure to provide definite ends for education. This essay reconstructs Dewey’s educational thought to provide more guidance on the nature of educational ends. Rather than impose external ends and a rigid curriculum, Dewey provides evaluative criteria so that citizens themselves can assess the educational and democratic value of any practice, curricula or institution. The political implications of this position are profound. It pushes away from expert driven models of educational authority and towards empirically grounded deliberative processes to guide educational practice and policy.

A Network Conditions Estimator For Voice Over Ip Objective Quality Assessment, Carlos Daniel Nocito

Open Access Theses

Objective quality evaluation is a key element for the success of the emerging Voice over IP (VoIP) technologies. Although there are extensive economic incentives for the convergence of voice, data, and video networks, packet networks such as the Internet have inherent incompatibilities with the transport of real time services. Under this paradigm, network planners and administrators are interested in ongoing mechanisms to measure and ensure the quality of these real time services. Objective quality assessment algorithms can be broadly divided into a) intrusive (methods that require a reference signal), and b) non intrusive (methods that do not require a known …

Nuclear Factor-Κb Activation In Schwann Cells Regulates Regeneration And Re-Myelination, Paul D. Morton

Open Access Dissertations

Schwann cells (SCs) are crucial for peripheral nerve development and regeneration; however, the intrinsic regulatory mechanisms governing post-injury responses are poorly understood. Activation and deacetylation of nuclear factor-κB (NF- κB) in SCs have been implicated as prerequisites for peripheral nerve myelination. Using GFAP-IκBα-dn mice, in which NF- κB transcriptional activation is inhibited in SCs, we found no discernable differences in the quantity or structure of myelinated axons in adult facial nerves. Following crush injury, axonal regeneration was impaired at 31 days and greatly improved at 65 days in GFAP-IκBα-dn mutants. Compact re-myelination and sensory fiber organization were significantly compromised at …

Directed Evolution Of Adeno-Associated Virus For Enhanced Gene Delivery And Gene Targeting In Human Pluripotent Stem Cells, Prashanth Asuri, Melissa Bartel, Tandis Vazin, Jae-Hyung Jang, Tiffany Wong, David Schaffer

Bioengineering

Efficient approaches for the precise genetic engineering of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) can enhance both basic and applied stem cell research. Adenoassociated virus (AAV) vectors are of particular interest for their capacity to mediate efficient gene delivery to and gene targeting in various cells. However, natural AAV serotypes offer only modest transduction of human embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells (hESCs and hiPSCs), which limits their utility for efficiently manipulating the hPSC genome. Directed evolution is a powerful means to generate viral vectors with novel capabilities, and we have applied this approach to create a novel AAV variant with …

De Sitter Gravity From Lattice Gauge Theory, Simon Catterall, Daniel Ferrante, Arwen Nicholson

Physics - All Scholarship

We investigate a lattice model for Euclidean quantum gravity based on discretization of the Palatini formulation of General Relativity. Using Monte Carlo simulation we show that while a naive approach fails to lead to a vacuum state consistent with the emergence of classical spacetime, this problem may be evaded if the lattice action is supplemented by an appropriate counter term. In this new model we find regions of the parameter space which admit a ground state which can be interpreted as (Euclidean) de Sitter space.

Dual-Feed Series Microstrip Patch Array, Thomas Weller, Bojana Zivanovic

USF Patents

A sub-array of slot-coupled microstrip antennas fed using microstrip lines on an opposing substrate. Also provided is an omni-directional antenna comprised of six of the sub-arrays arranged in a hexagonal fashion. The gain of the antenna is ˜6 dB with a 3 dB elevation beam width of ˜30 degrees. The design provides constant beam angle over frequency, which is important for frequency-hopping applications, and the potential to add beam control to mitigate jamming in different sectors.

Rapports de recherche scientifique

Le bruit est un contaminant important en milieu industriel et sa présence a des répercussions sur la santé des travailleurs. En addition, il peut faire partie des causes d'accidents de travail lorsqu'il masque des évènements sonores comme des avertissements sonores ou la parole qui pourraient mettre en garde les travailleurs contre des dangers éventuels.

La réduction du bruit à la source a été reconnue comme étant l'approche à privilégier pour réduire le bruit en milieu industriel. Pour être en mesure de réduire le bruit à la source, il est nécessaire en premier lieu d'identifier les sources de bruit prépondérantes et …
