Mechanisms of Resistance to Lipopeptide Antibiotics in Gram-Positive Pathogens
(2017-08)
Daptomycin (DAP) and surotomycin (SUR) are lipopeptide antibiotics with bactericidal activity against Gram-positive pathogens. Their addition into clinicians’ antibiotic repertoire was an important step in combating ...
Cross-Layer Design Approaches Accounting for Optical Physical, Network, and Application Layers
(2017-08)
With the rapid growth of Internet traffic, the current network architecture is facing various challenges on network resource control and management. First, emerging applications such as Video on Demand and web conferencing ...
Applying Social Network Analysis to Software Fault-Proneness Prediction
(2017-08)
Due to the rapid pace of software development, end-users now anticipate a seemingly limitless expansion of capabilities from their software. As a result, software systems are becoming increasingly complex and more susceptible ...
Inversion of the Covering Map for Indefinite Spin Groups
(2017-08)
The double covering of Orthogonal groups by the Spin groups is vital for many applications. In this dissertation, we address the important question of inverting the covering map φ_{p,q} : Spin⁺(p,q) → SO⁺(p,q) for (p,q)∈ ...
A Systematic Comparison of the Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility (AMS) and Anisotropy of Remanence (ARM) Fabrics of Ignimbrites: Examples from the Quaternary Bandelier Tuff, Jemez Mountains, New Mexico and Miocene Ignimbrites near Gold Point, Nevada
(2017-08)
Anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) has been widely used to define petrofabrics in silicic, elevated-temperature pyroclastic deposits (i.e., ignimbrites) and these fabrics have been successfully utilized to infer ...
Enhancing Retention of Women, Minorities, and Employees with Disabilities: An Organizational Inclusion Perspective
(2018-05)
Enhancing organizational diversity and inclusion has received increasing attention from scholars
and practitioners. Research suggests that diversity and inclusion positively affects organizational outcomes such as higher ...
Role of economic policies in the security of critical infrastructures
(2018-05)
In the last few years we have witnessed the development of sophisticated attacks that target critical infrastructures. Such attacks can cause catastrophic damage; for instance, attacks on the electricity system can impact ...
Synchronization, Equalization and Diversity Algorithms for Sparse Aeronautical Telemetry Channels
(2018-05)
Wireless aeronautical telemetry systems are crucial when aircraft, missiles, or spacecraft are tested. Telemetry from an onboard flight test instrumentation system is the primary source of real-time measurement and status ...
Computational Methods for Histopathological Whole Slide Image Analysis of Osteosarcoma
(2018-05)
Computational image analysis methods have been successfully implemented in many tumor studies to assist pathologists and medical professionals in making informed decisions. Osteosarcoma is one of the most common types of ...
In Circuit Frequency Response Analysis for Control Design and Monitoring of Power Converters
(2018-05)
In power electronic applications, frequency response analysis (FRA) data is used to analyze the plant, design the control and verify the control design. Traditionally, external equipment is used to measure the frequency ...
