Determining readability by computer analysis using the Fourier transform to calculate the spatial frequencies of words

Creator:: Piepmeier, Karen Swanson
Abstract:: The black and white pattern formed when an individual word is printed on a page was analyzed by the Fourier transform. The Fourier transform produces a sequence of sinusodial functions, usually called spatial frequencies, whose amplitudes depend upon the particular pattern analyzed. These amplitudes were examined to determine if the...

Investigating climate feedbacks across forcing magnitudes and time scales using the radiative kernel technique

Creator:: Jonko, Alexandra
Abstract:: Radiative feedbacks associated with changes in water vapor, temperature, surface albedo and clouds remain a major source of uncertainty in our understanding of climate's response to anthropogenic forcing. In this dissertation climate model data is used to investigate variations in feedbacks that result from changing CO₂ forcing and the time...
