Analysis of Bayesian anytime inference algorithms

Creator:

Burgess, Scott Alan

Abstract:

This dissertation explores and analyzes the performance of several Bayesian anytime inference algorithms for dynamic influence diagrams. These algorithms are compared on the On-Line Maintenance Agent testbed, a software artifact permitting comparison of dynamic reasoning algorithms used by an agent on a variety of simulated maintenance and monitoring tasks. Analysis...

Regulation by male-specific fruitless of neural circuitry used during courtship and copulation behavior in Drosophila melanogaster

Creator:

Latham, Kristin Lynn

Abstract:

Courtship and copulation behaviors in Drosophila melanogaster males are regulated by sex-specific products from the gene fruitless (fru). Male-specific FRU proteins (FRU[superscript M]) are putative transcription factors of the BTB-ZnF family that likely act by controlling development and maintenance of the neural circuitry used during male sexual behavior. However, which...

The effects of scattering-layer composition, animal size, and numerical density on the frequency response of volume backscatter

Creator:

Benoit-Bird, Kelly J.

Abstract:

Land-associated, sound-scattering layers of mesopelagic micronekton surround the Hawaiian Islands. These animals undergo diel migrations during which they split into multiple, distinct layers that have differences in animal density, taxonomic composition, and size. A video-camera system capable of quantitatively estimating the biological constituency of the layers was combined with a...
