Localizing Jammers in Wireless Networks
<p>The open nature of wireless communication makes it easy for adversaries to either inject random signals to wireless channels harming the network availability, or eavesdrop on the communication breaching the location privacy. Those threats are challenging to cope with, because most of them cannot …

Localizing engrams of olfactory memories in Drosophila
Zars and co-workers were able to localize an engram of aversive olfactory memory to the mushroom bodies of Drosophila (Zars et al., 2000). In this thesis, I followed up on this finding in two ways. Inspired by Zars et al. (2000), I first focused on the whether it would also be possible to localize …

Localizing, modeling, and drifting an autonomous RACECAR
In this thesis, I discuss several topics which are core to the development of car-like autonomous systems, using the small scale autonomous RACECAR platform as a testbed. The ultimate goal of this work was to create an autonomously drifting car, which has been achieved with nonlinear trajectory …

An examination of methods for localizing site index equations
… an average guide curve. Various methods of localizing this equation to a particular stand were examined. The methods are based on empirical Bayesian, maximum likelihood, and Kalman filter theory. All of these methods employ the general concept of feedback in localizing the simple equation. …

Localizing used cooking oil processing for biodiesel production in Iceland
… by 2040. This thesis examines the feasibility of localizing UCO processing for biodiesel within Iceland, comparing lifecycle emissions and economic viability between the current export model and a proposed domestic system powered by renewable electricity. The study employs lifecycle assessment …

Characterization of a Mitochondrial Localizing Molluscum Contagiosum Virus Protein: MC163R
<p>Molluscum Contagiosum Virus (MCV) is an obligate human, tumorigenic poxvirus which causes benign skin neoplasms. Reduced inflammation during an MCV infection has been attributed to production of MCV immune evasion molecules (IEMs). IEMs antagonize host immune responses allowing MCV to evade the …

Localizing external contact using proprioceptive sensors : the contact particle filter
… which is a general algorithm for detecting and localizing external contacts on rigid body robots without the need for external sensing. The CPF finds external contact points that best explain the observed external joint torque, and returns sensible estimates even when the external torque …

Localizing immigration enforcement: “secure communities,” § 287(g) and Arizona law 1070
<p>“Secure Communities” and the similar 287(g) Program of the Immigration and Nationality Act place the U.S. federal government into enforcement relationships with local and state officials. An effect of these relationships is that states acquire more authority over federal immigration policy. In …

On the thermomechanics of localizing pseudoelastic transformations in NiTi materials and structures
Nearly equiatomic NiTi alloys undergo reversible solid-state transformations around room temperature, which are activated by the application of stress or by modest temperature changes. The forward transformation causes about 6% strain and the release of about 12 kJ/kg of latent heat; both are …

Design, Synthesis and Biological Properties of Estrogen Receptor Binding Breast Tumor Localizing Agents
… with the potential to act as breast tumor localizing agents. A mild, regioselective method for high yield radiobromination of enol acetate derivatives of D-ring steroidal ketones involving in situ oxidation of no-carrier-added radiobromide was developed for the synthesis of …

Localizing public dispute resolution in Japan : lessons from experiments with deliberative policy-making
Can consensus building processes, as practiced in the US, be used to resolve infrastructure disputes in Japan? Since the 1990s, proposals to construct highways, dams, ports and airports, railways, as well as to redevelop neighborhoods, have been opposed by a wide range of stakeholders. In response, …

A model generalization study in localizing indoor cows with cow localization (colo) dataset
Precision livestock farming increasingly relies on advanced object localization techniques to monitor livestock health and optimize resource management. In recent years, computer vision-based localization methods have been widely used for animal localization. However, certain challenges still make …

Localizing Strain in a 2D in vitro Stretch System to Model Regional Injury Dynamics
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a disruption in normal brain function caused by mechanical insult to the head. Nonuniform brain tissue deformation complicates TBI diagnosis and treatment. Capturing this spatial heterogeneity in vitro is important for studying region-specific injury responses under …

The Changing Value of Food: Localizing Modernity among the Tsimané Indians of Lowland Bolivia
This dissertation offers an ethnographic account of the contemporary relationships between livelihood practices and food among the Tsimané Indians of the Bolivian Amazon. Because of the multitudinous properties of food, I use it as both a tool and a metaphor to focus my discussion on how a history …

Localizing the Holy Land: The Visual Culture of Crusade in England, circa 1140-1307
Broadly defining crusading as both a physical act and a spiritual goal, this is a diachronic study of the impact of the crusade movement and devotion to the holy city of Jerusalem on English visual culture, religious imagination and identity. The crusade movement concurrently formed dynamic …

THE KOREAN WAVE AS A LOCALIZING PROCESS: NATION AS A GLOBAL ACTOR IN CULTURAL PRODUCTION
This dissertation research examines the Korean Wave phenomenon as a social practice of globalization, in which state actors have promoted the transnational expansion of Korean popular culture through creating trans-local hybridization in popular content and intra-regional connections in the …
