  • Using provenance to aid document re-finding

    Creator:
    Lonsdale, Heather
    Abstract:
    In the field of Human-Computer Interaction, provenance refers to the complete history and genealogy of a document. Provenance can be useful in identifying related resources, such as different versions of the same document or resources used in the creation of a new document. Though methods of provenance collection and applications...

  • Social regulatory processes in adulthood : responding to change and variability in proximal and distal social forces

    Creator:
    Mejía, Shannon T.
    Abstract:
    Adult development and social experiences are intertwined, which has implications for social policy, health, and well-being across the lifespan. This dissertation explores the benefit and risk that close social partners bring to adults' lives, and the efficacy and consequences of engaging social resources to maintain well-being in the face of...

  • Fine-grained detection and localization of objects in images

    Creator:
    Feng, Yaofei
    Abstract:
    Object recognition is a fundamental problem in computer vision. Recognition is required by many applications. This thesis presents a distance based approach to recognize objects. We are interested in objects that belong to very similar classes, where each class has large variations. This problem is called fine-grained object recognition. Given...

  • Leyline : a provenance-based desktop search system using graphical sketchpad user interface

    Creator:
    Ghorashi, Seyed Soroush
    Abstract:
    While there are powerful keyword search systems that index all kinds of resources including emails and web pages, people have trouble recalling semantic facts such as the name, location, edit dates and keywords that uniquely identifies resources in their personal repositories. Reusing information exasperates this problem. A rarely used approach...

  • Gender and participation in early stages of the free/open source software joining process

    Creator:
    Gilbertson, Claire E.
    Abstract:
    Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) is a powerful development paradigm for creating software. Increasingly more FOSS projects, like Firefox and Android, are integrated into mainstream technology. It is important that FOSS projects serve its diverse user base well. Several surveys have found that existing FOSS communities are very homogenous populations and...

  • Visualization and design systems for road infrastructure

    Creator:
    Esch, Gregory
    Abstract:
    Transportation infrastructure provides a vital service for the functionality of a city. The efficient design of road networks poses an interesting topic in computer science for digital content developers. For civil engineers, the visualization of analysis results on infrastructure both efficiently and intuitively is crucial. The following contributions are made...

  • Numerical simulation of wood drying

    Creator:
    Berberovic, Adin
    Abstract:
    A mathematical and then a numerical model were developed for simulating a convective batch lumber drying process. The model incorporates mass and heat transfer relationships within the lumber stack, as well as thermodynamic properties of the wood and drying air. It takes into account a change of air properties along...

  • Learning affinities of exemplar videos for multi-view action recognition

    Creator:
    Roy, Anirban
    Abstract:
    This thesis addresses a fundamental computer vision problem, that of action recognition. The goal of action recognition is to recognize a class of human actions in a given video. Action recognition has a wide range of applications, including automated surveillance, sports video analysis, internet-based searches etc. The main challenge is...

  • Domain-specific language support for experimental game theory

    Creator:
    Walkingshaw, Eric
    Abstract:
    Experimental game theory is the use of game theoretic abstractions—games, players, and strategies—in experiments and simulations. It is often used in cases where traditional, analytical game theory fails or is difficult to apply. This thesis collects three previously published papers that provide domain-specific language (DSL) support for defining and executing...

  • The effects of voluntary step-training on slip recovery

    Creator:
    Baxter, Josh R.
    Abstract:
    Falls caused by slips are a major health risk to older adults and place a large financial strain on the health care system. Previous research has found that individuals can learn to recover their balance after being exposed to a series of simulated slips. However, training large numbers of older...
