An automated library system should be capable of providing at least all of the information and capabilities of existing manual catalogs. In addition, an automated system must provide the capability of manipulating that information to produce varying types of reports and statistics. This paper briefly:
- describes historical representations of...
The Macintosh revolutionary interface sets it apart from all other personal computers. The Macintosh designers made the Macintosh easy to learn, understand, and use.
To ensure correct implementation of their User interface, Apple provided Macintosh programmers with "Inside Macintosh". Inside Macintosh is a complete detailed manual which contains recommendations and...
People are increasingly staring at device screens which emit predominantly blue light. Because LED technology is relatively new, we do not know what effects blue light has on our long-term health. Blue light exposure leads to a dramatic decrease in longevity in Drosophila, thus this study aims to explore possible...
The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between land management practices of Indian communities prior to contact with Europeans and the nature or character of subsequent catastrophic forest fires in the Oregon Coast Range. The research focus is spatial and temporal patterns of Indian burning across the...
The conventional way of debugging is to examine the program's state at various points during execution. With the addition of message passing as a means of communication and synchronization in message passing programs, the state of pending message operations also needs to be examined. Current parallel debuggers or analysis tools...
Future quantum technologies will require high-efficiency, on-demand sources of entangled photons. A possible route to building such light sources employs two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors interfaced with a source of Cooper pairs. To investigate the possibility of such devices, we are testing methods to make high transparency n-type contacts, p-type contacts, and...
Writing within Discipline is a pedagogical model that aims to engage students in active learning and to develop critical thinking and writing skills within the norms of a particular discipline. However, lack of faculty time for grading writing products impedes its broader implementation. Web based peer review programs have been...
The study collected data using ARCGIS Field Maps from a field survey of plants at six (6) sites in Fairfield County, CT. The sites included three (3) urban and three (3) suburban locations. A primary goal of this study was to determine whether there are differences in the extent of...
