Wireless communication systems. Computer network protocols.
We evaluate mobility predictors in wireless networks. Handoff prediction in wireless networks has long been considered as a mechanism to improve the quality of service provided to mobile wireless users. Most prior studies, however, were based on...
Part I. A photoprecursor for difluorocarbene . The goal of this research was to develop a more practical and efficient photoprecursor for difluorocarbene. The first approach was concerned with the synthesis of 4,4-difluoropyrazoline-3,5-dione ( 5...
The cellular mechanisms of degradation of a transmembrane protein, the acetylcholine receptor (AChR), have been examined in a mouse muscle cell line, BC3H-1. The half-time of degradation of cell surface receptors labeled with...
Understanding trace element homeostasis in plants has a direct impact on global health. Much of the developing world suffers from nutrient deficiencies, and subsists on a plant based diet often lacking bioavailable nutrients like iron and zinc. At...

Chronic low back pain is a debilitating and devastating disease affecting millions of people worldwide. Considerable evidence indicates that there are sex-related differences in clinical and experimental pain sensitivity in men and women. Women...
During our fieldwork with real-world organizations---including those in Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), network configuration management, and the electrical power grid---we repeatedly noticed that security policies and related security artifacts...
This thesis constitutes the first steps in the author's program to investigate the question of when a homotopy of 2-cocycles ω = {ω[subscript t]}[subscript t∊[0,1]] on a locally compact Hausdorff groupoid Ɠ induces an isomorphism of the...
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare and often-fatal systemic autoimmune disease characterized by vasculature dysfunction, immune activation, and extracellular matrix deposition in skin and internal organs. The etiology of SSc is unknown, but it is...
The research presented in this thesis tested the hypothesis that uterine epithelial cells (UEC) are selectively responsive to bacteria and pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMP) and that responses are influenced by estradiol (E 2 ). We...

The frequency gene and the two proteins it encodes are central components of the Neurospora circadian clock. The frq message and proteins are involved in a negative feedback loop in which FRO represses its own transcript level. Based on this...

The present work examines the cognitive structure of the self-concept. Improving upon established measures of self-complexity (H -statistic), cognitive complexity of the self-concept is measured in terms of the number of self-aspects and the...
