LIPS: Learning based indoor positioning system using mobile phone-based sensors
(2016-01)In this paper we investigate the problem of localizing a mobile device based on readings from its sensors utilizing machine learning methodologies. We consider a real world environment, collect a dense set of 3110 datapoints, ... -

Video-Based Instruction For Introductory Computer Programming
(CCSC, 2014-05)Video replacement of in-person lecture is finding its way into more and more computer science education settings such as inverted classrooms, massive open online courses, online/distance learning, and programming camps. ... -
Multicast Network Coded Flow In Grid Graphs
(MICS, 2014-04)Network coding, a relatively new paradigm for transmitting information through communication networks, allowing intermediate nodes in the network to combine data received on separate incoming channels before transmitting ... -
Low Complexity All-Optical Network Coder Architecture
(ICNC, 2014-02)Network coding, a networking paradigm in which different pieces of data are coded together at various points along a transmission, has been proposed for providing a number of benefits to networks including increased ... -
Generating Interest In Computer Science Through Middle-School Android Summer Camps
(CCSC, 2013-05)We conducted a week-long summer camp to promote interest in computer science among middle-school students. The camp primarily used self-paced video tutorials to teach programming concepts using the App Inventor for Android ... -
Classifying Networks For Network Coding
(MICS, 2011-04)Network coding is a relatively recent development in the realm of maximizing information transfer in communications and computer networks. Traditional networks operate by simply storing and forwarding data along. Network ... -
Building A Thriving CS Program In A Small Liberal Arts College
(CCSC, 2011)In this paper we describe several techniques that have helped increase enrollment in the computer science program from 23 computer science majors in 2008 to 42 computer science majors in 2010 – an increase of 82.6%. We ... -
Design Of An All-Optical WDM Lightpath Concentrator
(PDCS, 2010-11)A design of a nonblocking, all-optical lightpath concentrator using wavelength exchanging optical crossbars and WDM crossbar switches is presented. The proposed concentrator is highly scalable, cost-efficient, and can ... -
Selection Of Switching Sites In All-Optical Network Topology Design
(PDCS, 2010-11)In this paper, we consider the problem of topology design for both unprotected and one-link protected all-optical networks. We investigate the problem of selecting switching sites to minimize total cost of the network. The ... -
All-Optical Network Coding
(2010-04)In this paper, we investigate the application of network coding to all-optical networks from both the algorithmic and infrastructural perspectives. We study the effectiveness of using network coding for optical-layer ... -
The Relationship Between The National Council of Churches of Christ and Roman Catholicism in the U.S.A.: As of 1967

"Intraspecific aggregation decreases local species diversity of arthropods"
(Ecological Society of America, 2003)Abstract. The aggregation model of species coexistence predicts that insect species diversity within a community is maintained by intraspecific aggregation among resource patches. An untested corollary of this prediction ... -
"Effects of timber harvest on forest lepidoptera: community, guild, and species responses"
(Ecological Society of America, 2002)Abstract. Two pressing questions for forestry and conservation biology are whether periodic logging in forest ecosystems significantly changes biodiversity and whether the changes can be mitigated through appropriate harvest ... -
"Electronic Guide to Wildflowers: Maintaining an Online Database for Natural Areas"
(Mason City, Iowa : North Iowa Area Community College, 2001)An online guide to wildflowers of the Saylorville Lake Recreation Area, Des Moines River Basin, Polk Co., Iowa, is maintained as a public information project in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Each ... -
"Species traits as predictors of lepidopteran composition in restored and remnant tallgrass prairies"
(Ecological Society of America, 2006)Restoration ecologists are increasingly turning to the development of trait-filter models, which predict how evolved traits limit species membership within assemblages depending on existing abiotic or biotic constraints, ... -
"Hierarchical routing in sensor networks using κ-dominating sets "
(Springer-Verlag, 2005)For a connected graph, representing a sensor network, distributed algorithms for the Set Covering Problem can be employed to construct reasonably small subsets of the nodes, called k-SPR sets. Such a set can serve as a ... -
"Evaluation of high-dose estrogen and high-dose estrogen plus methyltestosterone treatment on cognitive task performance in postmenopausal women"
(S Karger AG (Basel, Switzerland), 2002)Objectives: To investigate the cognitive effects of high-dose oral estrogen alone or in combination with oral methyltestosterone in postmenopausal women. Methods: Participants were tested with a randomized, double-blind ...
