Report for an Institute of Museum and Library Sciences (IMLS) Grant Partner Uplift Project. The report describes parsing records from the Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC) Archives and Information Services (ARIS) database into XML files, creating XML schemas, and mapping elements to simple Dublin core schema.

Paper discussing the complexity matching effect.

This paper discusses the findings pertaining to the framework for building good digital collections. This paper is part of the three-year interim project report for the IMLS Digital Collections & Content Project, summarizing major findings October 2002 through September 2005.

This paper discusses parity assisted decision making for QAM modulation.

This paper discusses reconfigurable block encryption logic. Existing block cipher function designs have tended to deploy the secret bits in a specific and limited way. The authors generalize the role of the secret as truth tables of Boolean gates in a carefully designed logic schema.

In this paper, the authors design and implement a local session admission control (SAC) algorithm for third-generation wireless networks which allows for the simulation of network throughput for different spreading factors and various mobility scenarios.

Report for an Institute of Museum and Library Sciences (IMLS) Grant Partner Uplift Project. This report reviews the tools and software to support interoperability between digital repositories and the Library of Texas federated search. This review will be used for providing recommendations for best practices and workflows for installing software and tools onto Digital Asset Management Systems (DAMS) and selected databases that support search interoperability.

This article discusses corpus-based and knowledge-based measures of text semantic similarity.

This paper discusses intra-class competitive assignments in CS2.

This paper describes the efforts and results of a plan for actively recruiting women students to undergraduate computer engineering programs at the University of North Texas (UNT). It also describes a series of activities aimed at improving retention rates of women students already in our programs. Such recruitment and retention of women is critical to the country's efforts to increase the number of engineering professionals, and is a priority for the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) Department at UNT.

This paper discusses word sense and subjectivity.

In this paper, the authors adapt Axler and Ramey's method of constructing the harmonic part of a homogeneous polynomial to the Fischer decomposition associated to Dirac operators acting on polynomial spinors.

This paper discusses indoor propagation modeling.

This paper discusses performance enhancement by eliminating redundant function execution.

This paper discusses The Oral History Project and research on becoming an educator.

This paper discusses a research investigation into the treatment of mens rea in the quest to hold individuals accountable for genocide. This paper focuses on doctrinal controversies and examines how genocide is and has been addressed by modern tribunals, with special emphasis on the subjective mens rea (mental element) required for genocide.

This paper discusses dissolved lithium concentrations and the spatial distribution of suicide mortality rates in Texas counties from 1980 to 1998.

This paper discusses research on education for Latinos in the United States and the need for exposure, resources, and cultural understanding.

This paper discusses the education of a Latin American student in the United States.

This paper discusses a research study on the effect of technology on achievement in mathematics in middle school.

This paper discusses research on the geography of HIV in Dallas County, Texas from 1999 to 2003.

This paper discusses research into grandparents raising children with disabilities.

This paper discusses research on modeling and optimization of deflection slits for fast-pulsing of a low energy ion beam. The authors also investigate simulated slit configurations that reduce the length of the fields along the beam axis, thus optimizing the pulsing mechanism.

This paper discusses research on Palestinian perspectives on peace with Israel.
