Nutrient Dynamics in Flooded Wetlands. I: Model Development
(ASCE-AMER SOC CIVIL ENGINEERS, 2013)
Wetlands are rich ecosystems recognized for ameliorating floods improving water quality and providing other ecosystem benefits. This part of a two-paper series presents a relatively detailed process-based model for nitrogen ...
Nutrient Dynamics in Flooded Wetlands. II: Model Application
(ASCE-AMER SOC CIVIL ENGINEERS, 2013)
In this paper the authors applied and evaluated the wetland nutrient model that was described in Paper I. Hydrologic and water quality data from a small restored wetland located on Kent Island Maryland which is part of the ...
Exploiting heterogeneous parallelism with the Heterogeneous Programming Library
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2013)
While recognition of the advantages of heterogeneous computing is steadily growing the issues of programmability and portability hinder its exploitation. The introduction of the OpenCL standard was a major step forward in ...
Acculturation Attitudes and Social Adjustment in British South Asian Children: A Longitudinal Study
(Sage Publications Inc, 2013)
A 1-year longitudinal study with three testing points was conducted with 215 British Asian children aged 5 to 11 years to test hypotheses from Berry's acculturation framework. Using age-appropriate measures of acculturation ...
Fluorescence quenching method for monitoring oxygen diffusion into PS/CNT composite films
(Elsevier Science SA, 2013)
Oxygen permeabilities of nanocomposite films consisting of multi wall carbon nanotubes (MWNT) and polystyrene (PS) were determined to investigate the oxygen diffusion depending on MWNT and temperature. A method which is ...
Secondhand smoke in waterpipe tobacco venues in Istanbul Moscow and Cairo
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2019)
Objective: The prevalence of waterpipe tobacco smoking has risen in recent decades. Controlled studies suggest that waterpipe secondhand smoke (SHS) contains similar or greater quantities of toxicants than cigarette SHS ...
Transmembrane helix 6 observed at the interface of beta(2)AR homodimers in blind docking studies
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2015)
Peptide- and protein-protein dockings were carried out on beta(2)-adrenergic receptor (beta(2)AR) to confirm the presence of transmembrane helix 6 (TM6) at the interface region between two beta(2)AR monomers thereby its ...
Profit sharing between managers and investors: An experimental investigation
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2015)
This study analyzes the effect of interest and power structures and conflict of interest among managers and investors and tests the effect of different payout mechanisms on willingness to pay. In this study 74 student ...
Developing adaptive multi-device applications with the Heterogeneous Programming Library
(Springer, 2015)
The usage of heterogeneous devices presents two main problems. One is their complex programming a problem that grows when multiple devices are used. The second issue is that even if the codes for these devices can be ...
Joint Channel Estimation and Symbol Detection for OFDM Systems in Rapidly Time-Varying Sparse Multipath Channels
(Springer, 2015)
In this paper we propose a space-alternating generalized expectation maximization (SAGE) based joint channel estimation and data detection algorithm in compressive sensing (CS) framework for orthogonal frequency-division ...
