A study of chameleon-photon mixing from pulsars
A number of solutions to the dark energy problem have been proposed in literature, the simplest is the cosmological constant A. The cosmological constant lacks theoretical explanation for its extremely small value, thus dark energy is more generally modelled as a quintessence scalar field rolling …

Chameleon Guitar : a physical heart in a digital instrument
… actual example of such a hybrid instrument: the Chameleon Guitar. The guitar project contains several aspects: separation of the guitar interface from its acoustic content; division of the acoustic content into a physical part and a digital processing part; and maximization of the user's freedom …

Sex-specific Habitat Use and Responses to Fragmentation in an Endemic Chameleon Fauna
Chameleons are an understudied taxon facing many threats, including collection for the international pet trade and habitat loss and fragmentation. A recent field study reports a highly female-biased sex ratio in the Eastern Arc Endemic Usambara three horned chameleon, Trioceros deremensis, a large, …

CHAMELEON BOY: AN AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL LITERARY CRITIQUE OF BIRACIAL SUBJECTS IN A RACIALIZED SOCIETY
<p>In American society, race is a determining factor when realizing a salient identity. Social engagements, relationships, and the perception has of one’s self are all effected and choreographed by race. Deeply ingrained within our social structure race aims to categorize humanity into easily …

Hearing History: Musical Borrowing in the Percussion Ensemble Works, Duo Chopinesque and Chameleon Music
Duo Chopinesque by Michael Hennagin and Chameleon Music by Dan Welcher represent two of the most significant percussion ensemble compositions written in the last twenty years. Both works are written for the mostly mallet type of percussion ensemble wherein the keyboard instruments predominate. …

Movement of the Cape dwarf chameleon (Bradypodion pumilum): are they vulnerable to habitat fragmentation?
… impacts of habitat fragmentation. The Cape dwarf chameleon (Bradypodion pumilum) occupies heavily fragmented habitat and yet few studies have investigated their ability to disperse and thus persist. In this study I monitored chameleon movements and habitat use in the semi-transformed Noordhoek …

Resistance to Three Common Herbicides in Chameleon Plant (Houttuynia Cordata Thunb.), a Highly Invasive Exotic Species
Chameleon plant (Houttuynia cordata Thunb.) is native to Southern and Southeastern Asia. It can reproduce sexually through seeds and asexually through rhizomes and is invasive in multiple countries including the U.S. There has been much research on H. cordata as a medicinal species, and its …

Seeking the chameleon: the influence of native rhetoric and the oral tradition on Native American literature
<p>This project seeks to explore the impact of rhetoric and the oral tradition on Native American literature by demonstrating that unique features are evident as a direct result of this influence. Characteristics which have functioned to preserve their culture (e.g.; the morphogenetic nature of …

Chameleon Interference: Assessing Vulnerability of Magnetic Sensors to Spoofing and Signal injection attacks through Environmental interference in Mobile Devices
Embedded sensors are a fixture of most devices in the current computer industry. These small devices are used for a variety of purposes throughout many fields to collect whatever kind of information is needed by the user. From data on device acceleration to data on position relative to the Earth's …

Some numerical investigations in cosmology
… The second project is posed in the context of chameleon gravity. Recently, it was argued that the conformal coupling of the chameleon to matter fields created an issue for early universe cosmology. As standard model degrees of freedom become non-relativistic in the early universe, the chameleon …

Phase planes in the universe : chaotic cyclic universes and kicking Chameleons
… two main sections: chaotic cyclic cosmology and Chameleon gravity in the early universe. Both sections invoke a phase plane analysis as their commonality. The first explores a cyclic model, proposed by Ellis et al, that is in keeping with current observations. No exotic nor new physics is needed …

Hierarchical Error Detection in a Software Implemented Fault Tolerance (Sift) Environment
… off-the-shelf hardware and software components. Chameleon is a Software Implemented Fault Tolerance (SIFT) middleware capable of providing adaptive fault tolerance in a COTS (components-off-the-shelf) environment with the capability to adapt to changing runtime requirements as well as changing …

Structural and biochemical investigations into the Neisseria gonorrhoeae ribonucleotide reductase
… This thesis additionally explores the use of the chameleon, an automated cryo-electron (cryo-EM) specimen preparation instrument, in generating cryo-EM specimens of the N. gonorrhoeae RNR suitable for high-resolution reconstructions, as traditional blot-based plunging techniques were unable to …

Balancing Memory Efficiency and Accuracy in Spectral-Based Graph Transformers
… classification benchmarks: Cora, Citeseer, and Chameleon. Unlike SAN, which runs out of memory, our memory-efficient graph transformer can be run on these benchmarks. Compared with landmark GNN models GCN and GAT, our graph transformer requires 27.92% less memory while being competitive in …

Demographic and genetic variability in Cape Dwarf Chameleons, Bradypodion pumilum, withink a fragmented, urban habitat
… more threatened than amphibians. The Cape Dwarf Chameleon, Bradypodion pumilum, exemplifies one potentially threatened reptile species which has suffered habitat loss, due to urbanization, inducing fragmentation and transformation among much of its habitat. As a result, many B. pumilum …

Galaxy-Scale Signatures of Screened Modified Gravities
… One example of a screening mechanism is the 'chameleon' mechanism, in which the scalar has a density-dependent mass, such that the mass becomes very large in regions of high density, and the fifth force is exponentially suppressed as a consequence. While the primary effect of screening …
