An empirical study into learning through experimentation

Creator:: Ruff, Ritchey Alvin
Abstract:: A key aspect of how we understand the world revolves around an ability to manipulate our surroundings to experiment. From the scientific method through theories of child development, the ability to experiment is deemed critical; however, few studies have been performed to understand the strengths and weaknesses of different experimental...

Understanding and improving error-correcting output coding

Creator:: Kong, Eun Bae
Abstract:: Error-correcting output coding (ECOC) is a method for converting a k-classsupervised learning problem into a large number L of two-class supervised learningproblems and then combining the results of these L evaluations. Previous researchhas shown that ECOC can dramatically improve the classi cation accuracy of supervisedlearning algorithms that learn to classify...

An architecture for a function driven mechanical design solution library

Creator:: Wood, Stephen L.
Abstract:: The engineering design process and the advancement of future computer-aided-design systems need new design aids to be used during the conceptual design phase. This design phase is where information gathering and understanding of the problem are developed, analyzed and broken into small more manageable elements. These elements consist of customer...

Use of a geographical information system to modify pheromone trap-based predictions of Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) damage

Creator:: Drapek, Raymond James
Abstract:: The GRASS (V. 4.0) geographical information system (GIS) was used to test the hypothesis that pheromone trap based predictions of Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) damage in processed sweet corn could be improved by considering spatial patterns of corn plantings and wind blocking features around the trap. Wind blocking features include: tree...

Robustness of uncertain systems : globally optimal Lyapunov function

Creator:: Ahmadkhanlou, Fariborz
Abstract:: The Lyapunov direct method is utilized to determine the robustness bounds for nonlinear, time-variant uncertainies p[subscript i]. Determination of the robustness bounds consists of two principal steps: (i) generation of a Lyapunov function and (ii) determination of the bounds based on the generated Lyapunov function. Presently in robustness investigations, a...

The stability of pelargonidin-based anthocyanins in natural and model systems

Creator:: Garzon, G. Astrid
Abstract:: Pelargonidin 3-glucoside (pgd 3-glu), pelargonidin 3-sophoroside (pgd 3-soph), and pelargonidin 3-sophoroside 5-glucoside acylated with cinnamic and malonic acids (acyl-pgd 3-soph 5-glu) were extracted from strawberries (Fragaria anannassa cv, Totem), nasturtium flowers (Tropaeolum majus), and radish peel (Raphanus sativus L. cv, fuego), respectively. Their stability was studied in natural and model...

An investigation of the relationships between student evaluations and faculty, class, and student demographic variables in rating instructional effectiveness

Creator:: Anstine, Daniel D.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to analyze and interpret the results of fall term student ratings of faculty teaching performance (n= 40,000) in order to determine whether relationships exist between a range of demographic variables and the ratings professors receive from students enrolled in their classes. A population of...

Kinematics of arthropod legs : modeling and measurement

Creator:: Albright, Stephen L.
Abstract:: This thesis presents a method for determining the kinematic geometry of arthropod legs. A kinematic description makes possible the analysis of arthropod leg motion, as a prelude to investigating how various arthropod species are able to negotiate diverse terrains. Such knowledge will aid in design of legged vehicles. The focus...
