  • Computing Resource Usage as a Factor of Student Success

    Creator:
    Moissinac, Béatrice
    Abstract:
    Learning Analytics and other branches of Educational Research such as Computing Education Research (CER) implicitly assume that students, especially college students, have no barriers to access learning platforms or software packages. This assumption may be attributed to such pervasive beliefs such as "everyone has a device", or "everyone can access...

  • Protein secondary structure prediction using conditional random fields and profiles

    Creator:
    Shen, Rongkun
    Abstract:
    Protein secondary structure prediction plays a pivotal role in predicting protein folding in three-dimensions. Its task is to assign each residue one of the three secondary structure classes helix, strand, or random coil. This is an instance of the problem of sequential supervised learning in machine learning. This thesis describes...

  • Conceptual Representations within the Social and Material Contexts of an Engineering Workplace and Academic Environments

    Creator:
    Barner, Matthew S.
    Abstract:
    Situated cognition theory emphasizes the role that social and material contexts have on learning and knowledge application. Several studies of engineering workplace environments have noted differences between the social and material contexts of the workplace and those of undergraduate engineering education. No existing research has studied the social and material...

  • Analytical Methods for Improving Causal Inference

    Creator:
    Sinha, Meghamala
    Abstract:
    Causal inference is an important analytical tool to bridge the gap between prediction and decision-making. However, learning a causal network solely from data is a challenging task. In this work, various techniques have been explored for a better and improved causal network learning from data. Firstly, the problem of learning...

  • Interpretable Machine Learning: Applications in Biology and Genomics

    Creator:
    Danaee, Padideh
    Abstract:
    Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models impact our daily lives with applications in natural language modeling, image analysis, healthcare, genomics, and bioinformatics. The exponential growth of biological sequence data necessitates accompanying advances in computational methods. Although deep learning is highly effective for detecting and classifying biological sequences, challenges...

  • Inclusive Software Design and Its Methods for Beyond-WIMP User Interfaces

    Creator:
    Fallatah, Abrar
    Abstract:
    While digital inclusivity researchers and software practitioners have been trying to address exclusion biases in Windows, Icons, Menus, and Pointers (WIMP) user interfaces (UIs) for a long time, little has been done to investigate if and how inclusive software design and its methods that have been devised for WIMP UIs...

    Abstract:
    A video server is the multimedia equivalent of a data file server. As video goes digital video servers that support digital media are required for production and broadcasting in television companies. Grass Valley Group provides comprehensive digital video solutions through a range of video servers called Profiles. The Profile Media...

  • Seismic performance of a pile-supported container wharf structures in rockfill

    Creator:
    Kawamata, Yohsuke
    Abstract:
    Recently, the concept of performance based design has become popular for many types of structures, including port facilities under seismic loading. For the case of pile-supported wharves, the level of performance is generally estimated using the displacement capacity of the structure. Therefore, understanding soil-pile interaction is one of the most...

  • Advanced separation of concerns and the compatibility of aspect-orientation

    Creator:
    Dechow, Doug
    Abstract:
    The appropriate separation of concerns is a fundamental engineering principle. A concern, for software developers, is that which must be represented by code in a program; by extension, separation of concerns is the ability to represent a single concern in a single appropriate programming language construct. Advanced separation of concerns...

    Abstract:
    Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is an industry standard aimed to bring the web to handheld devices. The handheld devices are constrained by battery life and it becomes important that power is conserved across web transactions. The power consumed by the handheld device is directly proportional to the time taken for...
