A major problem with integrating information from multiple databases is that the same data objects can exist in inconsistent data formats across databases and a variety of attribute variations, making it difficult to identify matching objects using...
Sport organizations face tremendous pressure to secure sponsorship support (Copland et aI., 1996). Professional niche sports face even greater pressure as sponsorship support often determines whether an event can even take place (Sutton, 2009)....
This thesis is based on work done as part of a bigger project supported by Naval Research Laboratories (NRL). A MOSIS fabricated micro hotplate is simulated using the CAD software CoventorWare. There are three different sized hotplates in one die;...
The process of transition from high school to adult life is particularly important for students with mild disabilities because these students show a pattern of overwhelmingly low expectations and progress. Transition services, self-determination,...
Understanding of the band structure of the new nano materials is essential to have a deeper insight into their optical and electrical properties. Along with the existing techniques used for characterization of nano-materials, it is also important...
Traditionally, fingerprint image acquisition was based on contact. However
the conventional touch-based fingerprint acquisition introduces some problems
such as distortions and deformations to the fingerprint image. The most recent
technology for...
African American students--Education; Mathematics--Study and teaching (Elementary); Academic achievement--Psychological aspects; Stereotypes (Social psychology)
African American students continue to underperform and are underrepresented in areas, including mathematics (Heubert & Hauser, 1999; Jencks & Phillips, 1998; National Postsecondary Education Cooperative, Gandara, Bial, & Educational...
Heat pipes; Solar heating--Passive systems; Solar heating--Research; Solar energy--Research
The one dimensional heat transfer, thermal diode effect of heat pipes makes
them ideal for passive solar applications. Gains in a heat pipe passive solar wall are not
lost during cloud cover or periods of low irradiation. An experimental model was...
Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are devices to convert wind energy into electricity. Unlike horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWT) where the main rotor shaft is set horizontally, VAWTs use vertical rotor shaft. Unlike HAWTs, VAWTs can be...
Athletic cleated shoe failures are commonplace to competitive-level ultimate
frisbee players. Currently, there are no athletic cleated shoes designed for the sport of
ultimate frisbee; players generally choose between football or soccer cleated...
Bi-stable buckled MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) diaphragms have a myriad of uses in the MEMS field for their large out-of-plane deflections. Buckling is a phenomenon brought upon by a compressive stress. Diaphragms are large aspect ratio,...
Micro air vehicles (MAVs) are type of unmanned aircraft with a maximum length of 150 mm (6 in.) and flight speed of less than 10 m/s. Because their flight speed is comparable to the environmental wind speed coupled with their small size and low...
A common problem faced by most organizations in today's world is one of worker-task assignments. Assigning a large number of complex tasks to workers at various training levels can be a complicated process which has the potential to cost or to save...
Corpus callosum; Diagnostic imaging; Autism--Diagnosis
Early detection of human disease in today’s society can have an enormous impact
on the severity of the disease that is manifested. Disease such as Autism and Dyslexia,
which have no current cure or proven mechanism as to how they develop, can...
Portrait of a young man with thin mustache and three-piece suit and tie. "A Parlor Match," starring Charles E. Evans and William Hoey, was staged at Macauley's Theatre on the date of this portrait's inscription by C. (possibly Charles)...

Three-quarter length portrait of Louisville native Max Bloom wearing bowler, suit jacket, vest, necktie, and one leather glove (with which he holds its match). Bloom performed at Macauley's Theatre in "The Mayor of Tokio" in September...
A boy is sitting on a pole, which is being trimmed to match the one leaning against the cabin. The cabin was located at Dark Hollow on Bullskin Creek. Title supplied by cataloger.
Squire Hensley contributed $50 to match the school's first donation, which was $50 from Squire's brother Henry. Both brothers were members of the school's first Board of Trustees.
Two young men lean against a barricade at the 200 block of South 38th Street and Market Street facing south. A large piece of equipment is behind the boards in the street. Signs for a boxing match and a dance are on the barricade.
