Exploring intelligent service migration in a highly mobile network
Mobile services allow services to be migrated or replicated closer to users as they move around. This is now regarded as a viable mechanism to provide good Quality of Service to users in highly mobile environments such as vehicular networks. The vehicular environment is rapidly becoming a …

Design and Performance of a Highly Mobile, Climbing, Wheeled, Soft-bodied Robot
… This thesis aims to address the need of a highly mobile small robot while initiating the exploration of this promising merger of fields. This work presents a design and proof-of-concept testing for a palm-sized vehicle that can travel quickly on and transition between planar surfaces at …

The Resiliency of Highly Mobile Military Children: Implications for Military and Education Leadership
<p>The life of a highly mobile child brings educational and social challenges. Highly mobile children who move at least four to five times during their PK-12 grade years generally experience greater difficulty in their social interactions and education than children with a more stable living …

Student mobility and teachers' grade promotion decisions.
… teachers evaluated two case studies: one of a highly mobile student, and one of a non-mobile student. Each subsequently made a decision to either retain or promote that student. Both first grade and fifth grade students were considered. Each case study was identical for each grade level with …

Proximity-based systems: Incorporating mobility and scalability through proximity sensing
… for the development of context-aware systems for highly mobile and dynamic environments. Such systems would overcome the shortcomings experienced by today’s location-based and infrastructure dependent systems whose ability to deliver context-awareness is prescribed by their infrastructure. The …

Mobility Strategies and Academic Success within Military Families
… to contribute to the academic performance of highly mobile military connected students. The unit of analysis was the strategies parents describe. These strategies included what is available for active duty military parents of 6th grade students that have moved three or more times. The problem …

Autonomous stair climbing
… and implementation of a system to allow a small highly mobile tactical robot to climb stairs autonomously. A subsumption architecture is used to coordinate and control the maneuver. Various approaches to the problem including evolved architectures and use of contraction analysis are explored. …

Exploiting user contention to optimize proactive resource allocation in future networks
… is now required in all environments including highly mobile networks. By using vertical handover techniques it is possible to provide uninterrupted communication as connections are dynamically switched between wireless networks as users move around. However, in a highly mobile environment, …

Paleoindian technological provisioning in the western Great Basin
… by Clovis, Folsom, and Plano traditions, were highly mobile foragers. By contrast, "Paleoarchaic" hunter-gatherers of the Great Basin are thought to have become increasingly sedentary through time, specially adapted and tethered to diverse lacustrine/marsh resources; My research project aims to …

Wohnmobilität in der Großregion -- eine interurbane Diskursanalyse mit Fokus auf den Städten Arlon, Thionville und Trier.
… market, attracting cross-border commuters and highly mobile professional elites. The concomitant rises in property prices as well as the extreme housing shortages in Luxembourg have led to an expansion of the housing market into the border regions. So far studies have mostly dealt with the …

Exploration of small enrollment speaker verification on handheld devices
… its own unique challenges arising from the highly mobile nature of the devices. This work first independently analyzes the impact of a number of key factors, such as speech features, basic modeling techniques, as well as highly variable environmental/microphone conditions on speaker …

HD4AR: High-Precision Mobile Augmented Reality Using Image-Based Localization
… personnel to access and use on-site, due to the highly mobile nature of the job and hazardous work environments. Field personnel rely on carrying around large stacks of construction drawings, diagrams, and specifications, or traveling to a trailer to look up information electronically, reducing …

Domain structure, phase transformation, mechanical behavior and shape memory effect in a rare-earth orthoniobate lanthanum niobate
… phase was reported as ""type III"" twins with highly mobile boundaries, exhibiting a rubber-like behavior in monoclinic LaNbO$\sb4$ single crystals. This behavior implies a new dimension for ductile ceramics and smart materials and clearly indicates the necessity for a thorough and systematic …

Understanding the role of Stylochus ellipticus as a predator of Crassostrea virginica in Chesapeake Bay tributaries
… The findings also imply that S. ellipticus are highly mobile, entering the water column to reach hard substrate at various depths, whereas previous studies suggest otherwise. These findings are useful in the planning and management of oyster cultivation and restoration. Furthermore, this study …

Molecular Dynamics Studies of the Response of Symmetric Tilt Grain Boundaries to Deformation in Rocksalt Structured, Ionically Bonded Ceramics
… (iii) decomposition of sessile dislocations into highly mobile 1/2 dislocations under hydrostatic pressure and a concomitant reduction in the slip resistance of grain boundaries formed from arrays of dislocations. (iv) mixing at amorphous grain boundaries formed by phase separation due to …

Narratives of the transnational student: a complicated story of cultural identity, cultural exchange and homecoming
… The study examines a sub-group of elite, highly mobile people referred to as "transnational students" - who in a working definition are students who have travelled to; lived, studied and even sometimes worked in at least two countries during the course of their degree programmes. It draws …

Simply dense : a new paradigm for transit oriented development
… population demographics. Residential inequity. A highly mobile, over-stimulated populace that is always on the go. Contemporary society is replete with forces pushing simultaneously away from the established suburban condition and towards density and development around transit. However the …

Influence of protein and solvent environments on quantum chemical properties of photosynthesis enzymes and photoreceptors
… so far (Ser41). The residue was shown to be highly mobile and with a systematic influence on the spectral shift of the BLUF domain chromophore (flavin). Finally, for LHCII it was found that small changes in the geometry of a Chlorophyll b/Violaxanthin chromophore pair can have strong …

Surface-mediated mechanisms for defect engineering in zinc oxide
… by our laboratory is to thermally inject highly mobile charged oxygen interstitials (Oi) through metal oxide surfaces from the gas phase to annihilate VO in the underlying bulk. Developing novel mechanisms to control such diffusion process would be crucial in tailoring material defect …
