In this thesis, we focused on the operator system, ${S}_n$, generated by $n$ ($2\leq n< \infty$) Cuntz isometries, i.e. ${S}_n=span\{I,S_i,S_i^*:1\leq i\leq n\}$. We first studied the properties of ${S}_n$, such as the ...

Geologic models describing Cenozoic uplift and erosion of the southern Rocky Mountains predict a topographic inversion in the Four Corners region (i.e., present day basins were previously topographic highs and vice versa) ...

Network debugging is time and resource consuming due to limited access and monitoring mechanisms. Such mechanisms may involve polling and/or active notification methods, where a failed network device may obscure the flow ...

Oceanic core complexes (OCC) provide the opportunity to collect and analyze a unique set of rocks from the lower crust and upper mantle, which have been exposed along the ocean floor and are associated with slow spreading ...

In 2004, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) restricted the duty hours of residents training to become doctors in an effort to decrease medical errors. With less time for them to learn medicine ...

The inverse scattering problem has enormous importance both for practical and theoretical applications, such as seismic exploration, nondestructive testing, and medical imaging. Based on the early work of Jost and Kohn ...

The present study investigated the relationship between visual working memory (VWM) and visual selective attention in survivors of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) either at high-risk or low-risk for neurocognitive ...

This study explored the levels of exposure to workplace bullying in Singapore and the United States and investigated how victims in the two countries coped with the bullying. Furthermore, this study assessed the extent to ...

The purpose of this study is to determine the relative contributions of women’s sexual assertiveness, endorsement of sexual double standards, and feminist identity to women’s sexual satisfaction. Given that all variables ...

Constitutive equations establish the relationship between kinetic with kinematic quantities to characterize the specific properties of the material. Mechanical constitutive relations are formulated to describe nonlinear ...
