CLEAN learning to improve coordination and scalability in multiagent systems

Creator:: HolmesParker, Chris
Abstract:: Recent advances in multiagent learning have led to exciting new capabilities spanning fields as diverse as planetary exploration, air traffic control, military reconnaissance, and airport security. Such algorithms provide a tangible benefit over traditional control algorithms in that they allow fast responses, adapt to dynamic environments, and generally scale well....

Direct and indirect effects of livestock grazing intensity on processes regulating grassland bird populations

Creator:: Johnson, Tracey N.
Abstract:: In grasslands, grazing by large ungulates can influence vegetation structure, composition, primary productivity, and ultimately, ecosystem functioning. While grazing represents a complex disturbance, grazing intensity largely determines the effects of grazing on vegetation. Structural and compositional changes in the plant community caused by grazing could have bottom-up effects on species...

An Integrated Conceptual Framework for Sustainable Public Housing

Creator:: Sharafeddin, Asma
Abstract:: Public housing (PH) provides a substantial portion of the housing in both developed and less developed countries, and the demand for it is increasing. The PH projects, however, are facing many challenges that are affecting their performance and cause their failures. The United States has demolished large portions of their...

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...

Development of nickel aluminide (NiAl) microchannel array devices for high-temperature applications

Creator:: Kanlayasiri, Kannachai
Abstract:: The miniaturization of Microtechnology-based Energy, Chemical and Biological Systems (MECS) is made possible by the use of high aspect ratio microchannel arrays to increase the surface-area-to-volume ratio of the flow conduits within the devices, resulting in an improvement in the heat and mass transfer performance of the devices. However, advantages...

Tandem intramolecular photocycloaddition-retro-Mannich fragmentation as a route to indole and oxindole

Creator:: Li, Yang
Abstract:: Irradiation of a tryptamine linked through its side-chain nitrogen to an alkylidene malonate residue results in an intramolecular [2 + 2] cycloaddition to the indole 2,3-double bond. The resultant cyclobutane undergoes spontaneous retro-Mannich fission to produce a spiro[indoline-3,3-pyrrolenine] with relative configuration defined by the orientation of substituents in the transient...

Information-theoretic Approach to Design and Evaluate Privacy-preserving and Fair Frameworks for Continuous High-dimensional Data

Creator:: Alsulaimawi, Zahir Ahmed Hussein
Abstract:: Deep learning is becoming the latest trend in sensitive applications, such as healthcare, criminal justice, and finance. As these new applications emerge, adversaries are circumventing them. Further, there have been concerns about the possibility of bias and discrimination in predictive applications. In order to address these issues, we propose an...

Temperature preconditioning of ryegrass (Lolium sp.) seed dormancy

Creator:: Wiesner, Loren E.
Abstract:: The purposes of this study were to determine the effects of temperature, nutrients, growth regulators, and culm detachment during seed development on ryegrass seed dormancy and weight. The effects of storage temperature on seed dormancy were also studied. Seed dormancy of annual (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) and perennial (Lolium perenne L.)...

Hepatitis B and liver cancer among Hmong : knowledge, perceptions of risk, and barriers to hepatitis B screening and vaccination

Creator:: Kue, Jennifer
Abstract:: Chronic hepatitis B disproportionately affects Asian Americans. Although Asians make up only 4.2% of the total United States (U.S.) population, they account for more than half of those infected with hepatitis B. If left untreated, chronic hepatitis B could lead to cirrhosis, liver damage, and liver cancer. Studies show that...

John Archibald Wheeler : a study of mentoring in modern physics

Creator:: Christensen, Terry M.
Abstract:: This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...
