Creator:: Kincaid, Joshua James
Abstract:: Representations of SO(4,2;R) are constructed using 4 x 4 and 2 x 2 matrices with elements in H' ⊗ C . Using 2 x 2 matrix representations of C and H', the 4 x 4 representation is interpreted in terms of 16 x 16 real matrices. Finally, the known isomorphism...

Creator:: Chisholm, Michael (Michael Andrew), 1974-
Abstract:: Learning easily understandable decision rules from examples is one of the classic problems in machine learning. Most learning algorithms for this problem employ some variation of a greedy separate-and-conquer algorithm. In this paper, we describe a system called LERILS that learns highly accurate and comprehensible rules from examples using a...

Creator:: Gibbons, Claire J.
Abstract:: College Algebra is a prerequisite for calculus and is thus an important stepping stone in the careers of STEM-intending undergraduates. However, College Algebra has low pass rates across the United States, interrupting students’ pathways to success. To address this concern, a research-oriented university in the Northwest United States restructured its...

Creator:: Harada, Sharon Julie
Abstract:: In this paper, we derive the fundamental solution to the heat equation with a discontinuous diffusion coefficient in the free space, with an absorbing boundary, and with a reflecting boundary. We use the fundamental solution with an absorbing boundary to make connections with the transition probability density of absorbed Skew...

Creator:: Schmidgall, Matthew J.
Abstract:: Knot Theory: In Imitation of Lewis Thomas is a collection of 14, 1200-word essays written in the style of Lewis Thomas, a physician who regularly contributed to The New England Journal of Medicine. His 1200-word column, "Notes of a Biology Watcher," ran from 1971 - 1980. The resulting compilations collectively...

Creator:: Shuman, Samuel A.
Abstract:: In this thesis, we explore a general method for constructing path sums in a discrete spacetime using a jump amplitude matrix. This is accomplished by deriving a composition law that relates jump amplitudes to the propagator. Then properties of causal sets are used to average this relationship over sprinklings. This...

Creator:: Cook, Jacob M.
Abstract:: Within the past decade, the continued-scaling of CMOS processes and improvements in industry mixed-signal integrated-circuit designs have enabled a rapid decrease in the cost, form-factor, and power for point-of-care diagnostics and electrochemical instrumentation. Similarly, advances in low-power RF designs have prompted entire System-on-Modules supporting widely varied Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. The...
