CasP: REALIZING CLIENT ASSISTED POLICY FOR SCALABLE LOAD BALANCING
Load balancer improves the distribution of the workload across multiple servers. Also, it aims to optimize the resources used, minimize the throughput, and the response time. In this thesis, we developed a realizing ... -
STUDY OF PARENT PERCEPTIONS TOWARD STUDENTS OF POVERTY IN AN AFFLUENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, THE
Student enrollment decisions parents make for their children encompass multiple factors and processes, founded on their beliefs and values. Some parents base enrollment decisions for their children on perceptions, not ... -
INVERSE SCATTERING TRANSFORM AND SOLITONS FOR MATRIX NONLINEAR SCHRODINGER SYSTEMS AND FOR THE DEFOCUSING ABLOWITZ-LADIK EQUATION WITH NONZERO BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
The scalar nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation is a nonlinear partial differential equation that models many of the world’s weakly nonlinear dispersive wave phenomena. This dissertation discusses two important variants ... -
Reducing the Barriers to the Provision of Education in Colorado Prisons: A Grounded Theory
This study brings forth a theory for reducing Colorado’s prison population utilizing education and early intervention as described through qualitative methods. This paper contributes to the body of literature surrounding ... -
MODELING AND OPTIMIZATION OF BST BASED FBAR DEVICES
Microwave frequencies range from 300 MHz to 300 GHz and are used in many ways for communication systems. Modern radio frequency systems such as wireless mobile systems expanded the boundaries of the telecommunication ... -
FERRITE PARTICLES EMPLOYED AS TEMPERATURE SENSORS FOR MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING THERMOMETRY
Ferrite materials were investigated as possible magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) temperature contrast agents. Cu1-xZnxFe2O4 and Mg1-xZnxFe2O4 ferrite samples with Zn composition from 0.4 to 1.0 were grown using a standard ... -
Effects of Augmentative and Alternative Communication on Speech-Language Outcomes: A Meta-Analysis, The
Existing meta-analyses within speech-language pathology, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), and early intervention have been either group designs or systematic reviews of single-subject experimental designs ... -
Gap Between Matriculation and Persistence: Title V of the Higher Education Act at Rural Four-Year Hispanic-Serving Institutions, The
The gap between the matriculation rates of Hispanic undergraduate students and their graduation rates warrants a closer look, as the degree attainment of Hispanics is necessary for the nation’s academic and economic health ... -
DISTRIBUTED WEIGHTED COOPERATIVE CONSENSUS ALGORITHMS FOR DYNAMIC SPECTRUM ACCESS
In the last few decades, there has been an enormous increase of wireless communication systems. The usage of frequency bands, or spectrum, is strictly regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The spectrum ... -
Is the Genetic Influence on Trauma-Related Symptoms Evident in Children? A Classical Twin Study
Twin studies and other behavior genetics methods have shown that heritable factors contribute to trauma-related (TR) symptoms in adults. The current investigation is the first to examine the heritability of TR symptoms in ... -
Validating the Reliable Change Index with Tensor-Based Morphometry
The Reliable Change Index (RCI) is a commonly used method for interpreting change in neuropsychological test scores over time. However, the RCI is a psychometric phenomenon that, to date, has not been validated by ... -
Comparing BMS Algorithm Implementations Based on Equivalent-Circuit and Physics-Based Models
As hybrid and electric vehicles gain popularity and increase in production, the demand to improve lithium-ion battery performance is continuously increasing. Traditionally, the performance of these batteries has been ... -
