426 Henderson, Thomas C.; Sikorski, ChristopherComputational sensor networksWe propose Computational Sensor Networks as a methodology to exploit models of physical phenomena in order to better understand the structure of the sensor network. To do so, it is necessary to relate changes in the sensed variables (e.g., temperature) to the aspect of interest in the sensor netw...Computational sensor networks2007
427 Hansen, Charles D.; Henderson, Thomas C.MKS: a multisensor kernel systemThe multisensor kernel system (MKS) is presented as a means for multisensor integration and data acquisition.

428 Baehr, WolfgangReceptors for advanced glycation end products as progressive factors in age-related macular degenerationAdvanced glycation end products (AGE) exacerbate disease progression through two general mechanisms: modifying molecules and forming nondegradable aggregates, thus impairing normal cellular/tissue functions, and altering cellular function directly through receptor-mediated activation. In the prese...Advanced glycation end products; AGE; receptor for AGE-mediated cellular activation; RAGE2004

430 Tiwari, AshutoshShape of the Hanle curve in spin-transport structures in the presence of an ac driveResistance between two ferromagnetic electrodes coupled to a normal channel depends on their relative magnetizations. The spin-dependent component, R, of the resistance changes with magnetic field, B, normal to the directions of magnetizations. In the field of spin transport, this change, R(B), orig...2014-01-01

437 Yang, Yue; Gopalakrishnan, Ganesh; Lindstrom, Gary E.Formalizing the Java Memory Model for multithreaded program correctness and optimizationStandardized language level support for threads is one of the most important features of Java. However, defining and understanding the Java Memory Model (JMM) has turned out to be a big challenge. Several models produced to date are not as easily comparable as first thought. Given the growing inte...Java Memory Model; JMM; Multithreaded program2002-04-02
438 Hawkes, KristenHunting and the evolution of egalitarian societies: lessons from the HadzaPolitical hierarchies are common in human societies but absent among many mobile hunter-gatherers. So egalitarian social organizations have been attributed to limits that foraging imposes on wealth accumulation. But male-dominance hierarchies characterize all the great apes, our nearest relatives. ...2000
439 Tran, Thomas T.D.Incorporating performance-based global sensitivity and uncertainty analysis into LCOE calculations for emerging renewable energy technologiesAssessing system costs for power generation is essential for evaluating the economical aspect of energy resources. This paper examines traditional and renewable energy resources under uncertainty and variability of input variables. The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of each technology is compu...Renewable energy technologies; LCOE levelized cost of electricity2018-02-14
440 Caserta, Michael; Lund, Dale A.Toward the development of an inventory of daily widowed life (IDWL): guided by the duel process model of coping with bereavementThe Dual Process Model of Coping with Bereavement (Stroebe & Schut, 1999) suggests that the most effective adaptation involves oscillaton between two coping processes: loss-orientation (LO) and restoration-orientation (RO). A 22-item Inventory of Daily Widowed Life (IDWL) was developed to measure t...Bereavement; Grief reaction; Widowhood; Psychological orientation; Adaptation, Psychological2007-07
441 Hultine, Kevin; Sperry, John S.Transpiration and hydraulic strategies in a piñon-juniper woodlandAnthropogenic climate change is likely to alter the patterns of moisture availability globally.

444 Liu, FengExceptional optoelectronic properties of hydrogenated bilayer siliceneSilicon is arguably the best electronic material, but it is not a good optoelectronic material. By employing first-principles calculations and the cluster-expansion approach, we discover that hydrogenated bilayer silicene (BS) shows promising potential as a new kind of optoelectronic material. Most ...2014-01-01
