Who is a Christian? Toward a dialogic approach in the anthropology of Christianity
(Sage Publications, 2008-12-01)This article aims to contribute to the continued formation of an anthropology of Christianity. We argue that anthropologists should adopt a more dialogic approach to the anthropological study of Christianity, one that ... -
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 ... -
On The Integral Coding Advantage In Unit Combination Networks
(2012-09)Network coding is a networking paradigm which allows network nodes to combine different pieces of data at various steps in the transmission rather than simply copying and forwarding the data. Network coding has various ... -
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 ... -

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 ...
