Movement intent decoders, which interpret volitional movement intent from human bioelectric signals, can be incorporated into modern neuroprostheses to offer people living with limb loss or paralysis the potential to regain their lost motor control. Machine learning methods have become the research standard for continuous decoders with high degrees of...
The spatial organization of farm units in Polk and Linn counties
in the mid-Willamette Valley has undergone significant change over
the past 30 years. Whereas most study areas operations in the
1930's and 1940's consisted of small family owned farms with contiguous
land bases, present mid-Willamette Valley units vary considerably...
Various problems related to systematic error-detecting
and error-correcting unidirectional codes are discussed.
Systematic codes with r check bits are the main topic of
the thesis. Classes of codes are presented which work for
specific numbers of information bits and then a class of
codes is given which detects the same...
The techniques of coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS)
and inverse Raman spectroscopy (IRS) are used to examine carbon dioxide
aggregation in a supersonic jet expansion. To promote the formation of
small clusters, a BMW injector valve is modified to permit its use as a
pulsed nozzle at very cold temperatures....
In selecting the site for a new school, a school
district must consider four basic characteristics of a good
site: size, physical features, location and costs. The size
must be adequate to meet the state minimum standards and
provide for future expansion. The physical features, soil,
relief and slope should...
The focus of this study is a search for the voice of African American community college trustees as they work to impact the changes community colleges must make over the next quarter century. It examined the lived experiences and perceptions that selected African American community college trustees have of their...
