4 pillars of college success in science
(TED Conferences, LLC, 2013-02)At age 12, Freeman Hrabowski marched with Martin Luther King. Now he's president of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), where he works to create an environment that helps under-represented students -- ... -
A 4‐year zonal climatology of lower tropospheric CO₂ derived from ocean‐only Atmospheric Infrared Sounder observations
(American Geophysical Union, 2008-09-20)A 4‐year zonally averaged climatology of atmospheric CO₂, ocean only, between ±60° latitude has been derived from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) radiances. Using only very clear fields of view, the CO₂ profile in ... -

AARPA: Combining Mobile and Power-line Sensing for Fine-grained Appliance Usage and Energy Monitoring
(IEEE, 2015-09-14)To promote energy-efficient operations in residential and office buildings, non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) techniques have been proposed to infer the fine-grained power consumption and usage patterns of appliances ... -
Academic Detailing: A Review of the Literature and States’ Approaches
(The Hilltop Institute, 2009-12-18)To follow up on a previous study, Hilltop surveyed the literature to understand the current status of legislation among states regarding academic detailing/prescriber education (AD), as well as to describe existing efforts. ... -
Academic Socialization in the Homes of Black and Latino Preschool Children: Research Findings and Future Directions
(Springer International Publishing, 2018)This chapter provides an overview of what is known about how Black and Latino families prepare their young children for school and what remains to be understood. It provides a synthesis of research presented in this volume, ... -
Accelerating a climate physics model with OpenCL
(IEEE, 2011-07-19)Open Computing Language (OpenCL) is fast becoming the standard for heterogeneous parallel com- puting. It is designed to run on CPUs, GPUs, and other accelerator architectures. By implementing a real- world application, a ... -
Acceptance of a speech interface for biomedical data collection.
(1997)Speech interfaces have the potential to address the data entry bottleneck of many applications in the field of medical informatics. An experimental study evaluated the effect of perceptual structure on a multimodal speech ... -
ACM HotMobile 2013 Poster: An Energy Efficient Semantic Context Model for Managing Privacy on Smartphones
(ACM, 2013-07-01)Modern smartphones are capable of gathering massive amounts of data about a user and her context. While this data is mostly utilized for providing services that are better suited to the user, user data and context leakage ... -
Acquiring Forensic Evidence from Infrastructure-as-a-Service Cloud Computing: Exploring and Evaluating Tools, Trust, and Techniques
(2012-08-06)We expose and explore technical and trust issues that arise in acquiring forensic evidence from infrastructure-as-aservice cloud computing and analyze some strategies for addressing these challenges. First, we create a ... -
An active forming grinding method for cylindrical involute gears based on a second-order transmission error model
(Science Research Association, 2019-03-23)An active form-grinding method is proposed to obtain excellent and stable contact performance of cylindrical gears by designing modification forms based on a predesigned controllable second-order transmission error ... -
Active Learning Enabled Activity Recognition
(IEEE, 2016-04-21)Activity recognition in smart environment has been investigated rigorously in recent years. Researchers are enhancing the underlying activity discovery and recognition process by adding various dimensions and functionalities. ... -
An active transcoding proxy to support mobile web access
(IEEE, 1998-10-24)In this paper, we present a proxy based system (MOWSER) to support web browsing from mobile clients over wireless networks. Mowser is a proxy agent between the mobile host and the web server, which performs active transcoding ... -
Adaptive color vision in Pullosquilla litoralis (Stomatopoda, Lysiosquilloidea) associated with spectral and intensity changes in light environment
(The Company of Biologists Ltd, 2002-10-17)Some stomatopod crustacean species that inhabit a range of habitat depths have color vision systems that adapt to changes in ambient light conditions. To date, this change in retinal function has been demonstrated in species ... -
Adaptive Properties of the Genetically Encoded Amino Acid Alphabet Are Inherited from Its Subsets
(natureresearch, 2019-08-28)Life uses a common set of 20 coded amino acids (CAAs) to construct proteins. This set was likely canonicalized during early evolution; before this, smaller amino acid sets were gradually expanded as new synthetic, proofreading ... -
Adaptive signaling behavior in stomatopods under varying light conditions
(Taylor and Francis Online, 2009-09-07)Stomatopod crustaceans (mantis shrimp) are aggressive benthic marine predators with extraordinary color vision. When communicating with conspecifics, many stomatopods display conspicuously colored body areas, often in ... -
