The collection largely focuses on the process of making and preserving memories and how the lack of control over one’s memory can lead to paranoia and displacement in their life. Particular value is attached to certain memories and the value and emotion attached can at times overwrite the actual content of the memory. The stories center around the Riviera family and particularly Ana Riviera’s life as she considers the many aspects of her family history she continues to inherit and the comfort and paranoia she associates with such inheritance.

Abstract/Description
Drunk driving is a serious offense, but often goes unnoticed because no harm is often caused by the person committing such a selfish act. Where there is an accident, fatal or minor, the individual is punished for driving while intoxicated. While many theorists believe that it is inappropriate to punish one who has a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) over the legal limit of .08%, I propose that regardless of the individual harming or not harming another, the person who is driving while...
Show moreDrunk driving is a serious offense, but often goes unnoticed because no harm is often caused by the person committing such a selfish act. Where there is an accident, fatal or minor, the individual is punished for driving while intoxicated. While many theorists believe that it is inappropriate to punish one who has a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) over the legal limit of .08%, I propose that regardless of the individual harming or not harming another, the person who is driving while intoxicated should face punishment. It should not matter if the driver did not show any signs of impairment or if they hurt anyone else while driving. Any person that goes behind the wheel impaired is at greater risk for hurting themselves or someone else at that time.

At the Hawk's Well exemplifies all of these concepts, and dramatizes their philosophical and symbolic implications. The Pythagorean symbols possess a tangible power as religious symbols, and Yeats called upon them to infuse his work with order, dimension, and a multiplicity of meanings, as he used them to represent his eternal search for Unity of Being.

Show moreThis dissertation proposes YACAD (Yet Another Congestion Avoidance Design for ATM-based Networks), a congestion prevention model that includes admission control, traffic shaping, and link-by-link flow control for ATM-based networks. Network traffic in this model is composed of real-time traffic and data traffic. As real-time traffic is delay-sensitive and connection-oriented, its call acceptance is based upon the effective bandwidth at all nodes. Effective bandwidth is defined as a vector of bandwidth and maximum node delay. As data traffic can be either connection-oriented or connectionless, it is subject to link-by-link flow control based on a criterion known as effective buffer which is defined as a scalar of buffer size. Data traffic is not delay-sensitive but is loss-sensitive. Traffic shaping is imposed on real-time traffic to ensure a smooth inflow of real-time cells. YACAD also allocates a large buffer (fat bucket) to data traffic to accommodate sudden long bursts of data cells. Absence of data cell loss is a major feature of YACAD. Two simulation studies on the performance of the model are conducted. Analyses of the simulation results show that the proposed congestion avoidance model can achieve congestion-free networking and bounded network delays for real-time traffic at high levels of channel utilization. The maximum buffer requirements for loss-free cell delivery for data traffic, and the cell loss probabilities for real-time traffic are also obtained. In addition, results of performance comparisons to other similar models have shown that YACAD outperforms several other leaky-bucket based congestion control methods in terms of cell loss probability for real-time traffic. The simulation source program has also been verified using existing queueing theories, and the Paired-t Confidence Interval method with satisfactory results at 99% confidence level.

Show moreIn Mexico, fragmentation is an integral element in social, political, and literary realities expressing an inequality among its citizens. This disparity is reflected in literary and cinematic representations. The Mexican male is the agent that perpetuates the fractured society, and his representation in the arts reflects the impediments to social progress in both the heterosexual and homosexual communities. The novels Los de abajo, Pedro Paramo , and La muerte de Artemio Cruz, present the traditional Mexican male and images of masculinity in the heterosexual community. El vampiro de la Colonia Roma by Luis Zapata introduces the male homosexual character into Mexican discourse and implies how he is affected by fragmentation. The film Y tu mama tambien (2001) by Alfonso Cuaron proposes that inequality will be perpetuated if Mexican society does not change its views of what is to be considered "masculine."

The objective of this thesis was to design XYZ, a partially centralized, scalable and self-organizing lookup service for wide area P2P systems. The XYZ system is based on distributed hash table (DHT). A unique ID and a color assigned to each node and each file. The author uses clustering method to create the system backbone by connecting the cluster heads together and uses color clustering method to create color overlays. Any lookup for a file with a color will only be forwarded in the color overlay with the same color so that the searching space is minimized. Simulations and analysis are also provided in this thesis.

Show moreXYZ Video Compression denotes a video compression algorithm that operates in three dimensions, without the overhead of motion estimation. The smaller overhead of this algorithm as compared to MPEG and other "standards-based" compression algorithms using motion estimation suggests the suitability of this algorithm to real-time applications. The demonstrated results of compression of standard motion video benchmarks suggest that XYZ Video Compression is not only a faster algorithm, but develops superior compression ratios as well. The algorithm is based upon the three-dimensional Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT). Pixels are organized as 8 x 8 x 8 cubes by taking 8 x 8 squares out of 8 consecutive frames. A fast three-dimensional transform is applied to each cube, generating 512 DCT coefficients. The energy-packing property of the DCT concentrates the energy in the cube into few coefficients. The DCT coefficients are quantized to maximize the energy concentration at the expense of introduction of a user-determined level of error. A method of adaptive quantization that generates optimal quantizers based upon statistics gathered for the 8 consecutive frames is described. The sensitivity of the human eye to various DCT coefficients is used to modify the quantizers to create a "visually equivalent" cube with still greater energy concentration. Experiments are described that justify choice of Human Visual System factors to be folded into the quantization step. The quantized coefficients are then encoded into a data stream using a method of entropy coding based upon the statistics of the quantized coefficients. The bitstream generated by entropy coding represents the compressed data of the 8 motion video frames, and typically will be compressed at 50:1 at 5% error. The decoding process is the reverse of the encoding process: the bitstream is decoded to generate blocks of quantized DCT coefficients, the DCT coefficients are dequantized, and the Inverse Discrete Cosine Transform is performed on the cube to recover pixel data suitable for display. The elegance of this technique lies in its simplicity, which lends itself to inexpensive implementation of both encoder and decoder. Finally, real-time implementation of the XYZ Compressor/Decompressor is discussed. Experiments are run to determine the effectiveness of the implementation.

Show moreData are the backbone to any organization. In some organizations there are applications that operate on a distributed platform. These applications might often communicate with applications on a different platform, that structures data in a different format. The manner in which data is transferred between such applications can become complex, because there will be many platform dependent applications that need to process the data transferred. Hence a mechanism for exchange of data in a simple, effective manner for such applications is a basic necessity. In this thesis, such a mechanism to deal with data exchange in a platform independent manner is discussed. The proposed model is XML-based, and data between the applications is exchanged in the form of XML documents. XML is text-based and can be processed by any application existing on any platform. The model has an interface that processes the XML documents transferred between the client applications and the underlying database systems. The model is implemented in a System administration application. The application is a Web application that transfers data in the XML format. This is processed by the interface and transferred to the database. Data from the database is retrieved and converted to XML documents by the interface and transferred to the client (Web) applications.

Show moreThe problem of the carbonate substitution in bioapatites is studied via x-ray and neutron powder diffraction. A series of samples of low temperature carbonate hydroxyapatites with varying carbonate content was synthesized. The carbonate solubility in the hydroxyapatite system was studied with x-ray diffraction. The detailed crystal structure parameters of the synthetic carbonate hydroxyapatites were studied as a function of temperature and carbonate content from the analysis of Rietveld refinements of neutron powder diffraction data. The phosphate tetrahedron is distorted by the carbonate substitution. The tetrahedral bond lengths P-O1 and P-O2 decrease by 2--3%. The atomic displacement parameters (ADPs) of the tetrahedral P, O1, O2, and O3 sites reveal a static disorder in the carbonate hydroxyapatite specimens. The results of the present comparison are consistent with the mechanism of carbonate substitution on the mirror plane of the phosphate tetrahedron.
