Western Atlantic synodontid species were studied as part of an ongoing effort to reanalyze Caribbean shorefish diversity. A neighbor-joining tree constructed from cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) data revealed 2 highly divergent genetic lineages within both Synodus intermedius (Agassiz, 1829) (Sand Diver) and S. foetens (Linnaeus, 1766) (Inshore Lizardfish). A...
This thesis presents a novel methodology that enables power efficient video decoding
in an embedded system based on MPSoC (Multiprocessor System on Chip). This
methodology is a physical combination of parallel processing which reduces power
consumption of processors by exploiting thread-level parallelism and Dynamic
Voltage Frequency Scaling (DVFS) that allows...
The development of the Lee strain of type B influenza
virus was shown to be inhibited by puromycin in tissue culture of the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane. The
compound is an antibiotic of unique structure which has
been reported to possess a broad range of biological activity
against unicellular and...
Topographically generated eddies and internal waves have traditionally been studied separately
even though bathymetry that creates both phenomena is abundant in coastal regions. Here a numerical
model is used to understand the dynamics of eddy and wave generation as tidal currents flow past
Three Tree Point, a 1 km long,...
This thesis examines the characterization of the femme fatale and the implications of this trope for late-Victorian gender and sexuality in the ghost stories of female aesthete Vernon Lee. In her treatment of the femme fatale figure, Lee both reinforces and complicates the image of the sexualized, often bestialized woman...
