On the extinction of species in jointly determined stochastic systems
(Taylor and Francis. A definitive copy can be found at http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals, 2000)The sizable literature 0n extinction in economics has paid scant attention to the problem of constructing measures of species extinction. Moreover, this literature has not studied the question of species extinction in ... -
On the global character of the difference equation x(n+1)=(alpha)+(gamma)xn-(2k+1)+(delta)xn-2|A+xn-2|
(Taylor and Francis Ltd, 2003-01-01)We investigate the global stability, the periodic character, and the boundedness nature of solutions of the difference equation x(n+1)=(alpha)+(gamma)xn-(2k+1)+(delta)xn-2|A+xn-2|, n=0,1,... where k and l are non-negative ... -
On the nature of critical heat flux in microchannels
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2005-01)The critical heat flux (CHF) limit is an important consideration in the design of most flow boiling systems. Before the use of microchannels under saturated flow boiling conditions becomes widely accepted in cooling of ... -
On the optimal management of a class of aquatic ecological-economic systems
(Elsevier Science. The definitive version can be found at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/dsw, 2001)This paper studies aquatic ecological-economic systems such as the Chesapeake Bay. The stability of such ecological-economic systems depends on the successful functioning of a small number of generalist species in a wide ... -
On the scarcity value of ecosystem services
(Elsevier, 2003)In this exploratory paper, we first make a case for considering the scarcity value of ecosystem services in the analyses of jointly determined ecological–economic systems. Next, we point out that insight into the scarcity ... -
On Understanding the relationship between ultrasound speckle and the scattering microstructure
(Acoustical Imaging, 1997)Recent studies on the statistics of the envelope of the ultrasound echo signal from a random scattering medium suggest that the statistical moments of the signal may carry quantitative information about the scattering ... -
One family, four cochlear implants
(Hearing Loss Magazine, 2006-02-01)A Rochester, New York, family of four all received cochlear implants during one week in 2004. As “Deaf community” members, how do their experiences compare with those of other cochlear implant users? The Matchetts tell ... -
Online cake instructor
(2007-12)This thesis will be an e-learning website about making cakes. Users will learn how to make a cake in a virtual environment by following the instructions and interacting with the surroundings, instead of learning from text ... -

Ontogenetic change in blood oxygen capacity and maximum activity in garter snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis)
(Springer: Journal of Comparative Physiology B: Biochemical, Systemic, and Environmental Physiology, 1977-01)There is an ontogenetic increase in the time that garter snakes (Thamnophis s. sirtalis) can maintain maximum activity at 25°C. Newborn snakes are exhausted by 3–5 min of activity while adults can be active for 20–25 min. ... -
Ontogenetic change in molecular and functional properties of blood of garter snakes, Thamnophis sirtalis
(Wiley: Journal of Experimental Zoology, 1977-07)At birth the blood of garter snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis) has high oxygen affinity (P50 at 25°C and pH 7.2 = 21 mm Hg), low hematocrit (14%), and a high proportion of inactive hemoglobin (44%). Growth of the snakes is ... -
Open source for accounting and enterprise systems
(2007-11)This chapter introduces open source software (OSS) for accounting and enterprise information systems It covers the background. functions, maturity models, adoption issues, strategic considerations, and future trends for ... -
Optical Fourier and Hartley transform adaptive filters
(Microwave and optical technology letters, 2004-01-05)Optical signal-processing architectures are presented to realize frequency-domain implementations of the classical least-mean-square (LMS) adaptive-filtering algorithm. Optical implementation of both Fourier and Hartley ... -
Optical processor for adaptive arrays
(Elsevier - Optics Communications, 1990-06)Two novel architectures for implementing the LMS algorithm optically are introduced. Convergence of the LMS algorithm is analyzed and the effect of the analog inaccuracies are considered. -
Optical, electrical, and structural properties of sputtered aluminum alloy thin films with copper, titanium and chromium additions
(Elsevier - Thin Solid Films, 2007-02)Aluminum alloys containing copper, chromium, and titanium were sputter deposited with the goal of maintaining the high bulk reflectance of aluminum while providing surface topography more suited for optical applications. ... -

An Optimal stopping approach to the conservation of biodiversity
(Elsevier. The definitive version can be found at http://www.elsevier.com, 1998)In the past two decades, a considerable amount of concern has been expressed in academic and nonacademic circles about the decline in the world's diverse biological resources. Recently, Swanson (in: Biodiversity Loss: ... -
Optimised isolation procedure for biologically active compounds nimbolide and 28-deoxonimbolide from Azadirachta indica leaves
(Elsevier: Phytochemistry, 1999-12)Alpha-linolenic acid has been isolated from fresh A. indica leaves and an optimised procedure for the isolation of the limonoids nimbolide and 28-deoxonimbolide is described. -
Optimization of microchannel geometry for direct chip cooling using single phase heat transfer
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2004-06)Direct cooling of an electronic chip of 25mm x 25mm in size is analyzed as a function of channel geometry for single-phase flow of water through small hydraulic diameters. Fully developed laminar flow is considered ...
