H (sub) alpha & Neutral Density Scaling in the Maryland Centrifugal eXperiment
(2009)The Maryland Centrifugal eXperiment (MCX) is a hydrogen plasma confinement experiment with a rotating mirror magnetic configuration. This experiment was designed to test the concepts of centrifugal confinement and velocity ... -
H(div) Preconditioning for a Mixed Finite Element Formulation of the Stochastic Diffusion Problem
(2008-06-27)We study H(div) preconditioning for the saddle-point systems that arise in a stochastic Galerkin mixed formulation of the steady-state diffusion problem with random data. The key ingredient is a multigrid V-cycle for a ... -
H1N1 Risk and Vulnerability: Applying Intersectionality in a Pandemic Context
(2016)During influenza pandemics, existing health disparities are exacerbated, increasing vulnerability to disease among minority populations. This research utilized national survey data collected during 2009-10 H1N1 Influenza ... -
H_infinity Robust Adaptive Control
(1996)Traditional adaptive control algorithms are not robust to dynamic uncertainties. The robust adaptive control algorithms developed previously to deal with dynamic uncertainties do not facilitate quantitative design to ... -
HAART Adherence in Culturally Diverse Patients with HIV/AIDS: A Study of Male Patients from a Veteran’s Administration Hospital in Northern California
(2001)The objective of this study was to identify the factors that influence adherence to antiretroviral medication regimens in culturally diverse populations with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome ... -
HABITAT USE AND COHORT RECRUITMENT PATTERNS OF JUVENILE BLUEFISH (POMATOMUS SALTATRIX) IN DIVERSE MARYLAND NURSERY SYSTEMS
(2004-08-12)A popular recreational species, bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix) has been declining since the mid-1980s. This thesis examines patterns of juvenile habitat use, growth rate, and cohort recruitment patterns in three Maryland ... -
Habitat use of surf scoters wintering in the mesohaline region of the mainstem Chesapeake Bay, Maryland
(2007-12-11)Surf scoters (Melanitta perspicillata) are common in coastal waters during winter, but remain one of the least studied waterfowl in North America despite indications of a declining population. Surf scoter foraging was ... -
Habitat, home range, and population study of the eastern box turtle (Terrapene carolina)
(1986)This study covers the home range, population size, habitat type and components of habitat of the eastern box turtle, Terrapene carolina. The study area was within the floodplains of the Patuxent River on the grounds of ... -
Habits of Mind: A Case Study of Three Teachers' Experiences with a Mindfulness-Based Intervention
(2016)K-12 teachers encounter numerous occupational stressors as part of their profession, and these stressors place them at risk of job-related stress and burnout (Maslach & Jackson, 1981; Maslach, Schaufeli, & Leiter, 2001). ... -
Hacking Literature: Reading Analog Texts in a Digital Age
(2014)Evangelists of the digital age, in the immediacy of its adolescence, often describe digital technologies as "revolutionary" (e.g. "the digital revolution") and as having a world-changing impact on human cultural interactions. ... -
HACKING THE NERVOUS SYSTEM: PROMOTION OF PSYCHOMOTOR EFFICIENCY THROUGH VAGUS NEUROMODULATION
(2021)Research in performance optimization aims to improve cognitive-motor performance under arduous conditions. From a kinesiology perspective, effectiveness in performance optimization can be quantified through the neurophysiological ... -
HADRONIC INTERACTIONS IN LARGE N_c QCD: STUDIES OF EXCITED BARYON DECAYS AND SCATTERING RELATIONS
(2005-07-19)Decays and scattering events are two of the principal ways to learn about particle physics. Decays, in which a particle spontaneously disintegrates and we examine the debris, are quantified by a decay width. The decay of ... -
The Hagia Triada Sarcophagus: Interconnections Between Crete and Egypt in the Late Bronze Age
(2005-05-10)The Hagia Triada Sarcophagus, a painted limestone larnax, has been an enigma in the Minoan artistic canon since the time of its discovery in 1903. It is the only larnax found to date made of limestone, and the only one ... -
"Haikus in the Subway": Understanding Student Meaning-Making of an Alternative Spring Break Trip
(2009)The purpose of this constructivist case study was to investigate students' experiences on an Alternative Spring Break (ASB) trip and the meaning students made of the experience. The research questions guiding the study ... -
A HALF BILLION DOLLARS ADDING UP TO SMALL CHANGE: THE PROMISES AND PITFALLS OF CORPORATE PHILANTHROPY TO SUPPORT GLOBAL EDUCATION
(2011)At the start of the 21st century, the international community pledged an increase in volume, predictability, and coordination of external financing and monitoring for Education for All goals. Yet despite, this commitment, ... -

Hamiltonian Dynamics of a Rigid Body in a Central Gravitational Field
(1990)This paper concerns the dynamics of a rigid body moving under the influence of a central gravitational field. Explicit account is taken of effects arising because of the finite extent of the body. The hamiltonian framework ... -
Hamiltonian Paths and Strands for Unified Grid Approach for Computing Aerodynamic Flows
(2019)A solution algorithm using Hamiltonian paths and strand grids is presented for compressible Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) formulation as a unified grid approach. The hidden line-structure is robustly identified ...
