From running birds to walking robots : optimization as a unifying framework for dynamic bipedal locomotion

Creator:: Hubicki, Christian M.
Abstract:: Bipedal locomotion is a complex phenomenon to understand and control, making it difficult for legged robots to achieve the speed, agility, efficiency, and robustness of their animal counterparts. This thesis argues for the use of numerical optimization to investigate and implement bipedal control as it applies to biology, dynamical models,...

Equine-Assisted Group Work : An Exploration of Therapeutic Factors and Group Practices

Creator:: Schroeder, Katy
Abstract:: Equine-assisted group work has recently emerged in the empirical literature as a promising treatment approach for a variety of populations, including women trauma survivors (Whittlesey-Jermone, 2014; Shambo, Seely, & Vonderfecht, 2010). However, group therapeutic processes (e.g., therapeutic factors) and group leader characteristics have yet to be studied in equine-assisted groups....

Understanding Software-2.0: A Study of Machine Learning library usage and evolution

Creator:: Dilhara, Malinda, Ketkar, Ameya, and Dig, Danny
Abstract:: Enabled by a rich ecosystem of Machine Learning (ML) libraries, programming using learned models, i.e., Software-2.0, has gained substantial adoption. However, we do not know what challenges developers encounter when they use ML libraries. With this knowledge gap, researchers miss opportunities to contribute to new research directions, tool builders do...

Wind-current Interactions of the Sri Lanka Dome and Tropical Indian Ocean

Creator:: Cullen, Kerstin
Abstract:: The southwest monsoon, which may be idealized as the northward movement of the intertropical convergence zone in the Indian Ocean associated with differential heating of land and ocean, brings a seasonal reversal of currents and winds in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea. Atmospheric convection from monsoon activity...

An Investigation of the Effects of Merge Conflicts on Collaborative Software Development

Creator:: Brindescu, Caius
Abstract:: Merge conflicts have long plagued software development. With larger and more dispersed teams comes greater risk of developers working on the same code at the same time. While merge conflicts are known to be painful, their exact impact on software is still largely unknown. Are merge conflicts an isolated problem,...

Investigating the Effects of Design Quality in OSS Projects

Creator:: Mannan, Umme Ayda
Abstract:: Software systems are becoming an essential part of the lives of both individuals and organizations, and as a consequence, these systems are getting bigger and more complex. Because of this, the tasks of maintaining the quality in these complex software systems are becoming increasingly difficult. Furthermore, these systems are subject...

Bioeconomic Simulation Modeling of Fisheries : Three Essays

Creator:: Cusack, Christopher Inju
Abstract:: Researchers rely on bioeconomic models to guide research and generate fishery management advice for commercial fisheries. Due partly to a paradigm shift towards ecosystem based fishery management, increasing complexity in the characteristics of the problems has meant that bioeconomic simulation models are becoming more prevalent in the fisheries literature. However...

Entrepreneur Well-Being and Organizational Decision Making Biases

Creator:: Kozlak, Scott
Abstract:: This dissertation consists of three essays that provide comprehensive insights into the complex dynamics shaping entrepreneurial and organizational outcomes. In the first essay I incorporate the Biophilia Hypothesis and the Challenge Hindrance Stressor framework to study entrepreneurial creativity. The findings emphasize the importance of more frequent nature visits for entrepreneurs...

Designing Diversity and Inclusion Processes and Tools for Sustainable Open Source

Creator:: Guizani, Mariam
Abstract:: Over time, Open Source Software (OSS) has become indispensable in the creation and upkeep of software products, serving as the fundamental building block for widely used solutions in our daily lives, including applications that enable communication, entertainment, and productivity. A sustainable OSS ecosystem is one that attracts and retains a...
