  • Emotion regulation and hyperactivity during the transition into adolescence

    Creator:
    Lewis, Kendra M.
    Abstract:
    This study posited that maturational growth in emotion regulation should be associated with reduction in hyperactivity during the transition into adolescence. The longitudinal design assessed emotion regulation and hyperactivity in an urban community sample of children in three waves, at ages 10.6, 11.6, and 12.6 years. A parallel growth curve...

  • Applying the Technology Acceptance Model to Understand the Intention to Use a CS-based Curriculum

    Creator:
    Gupta, Ayushi
    Abstract:
    In the ever-evolving field of computer science (CS) education, the significance of teachers and their backgrounds have often been overshadowed by the predominant focus on students. Teachers in the K-12 often lack the necessary expertise and have limited support provided by existing CS-based curricula. While research on CS education effectiveness...

  • WebGD : Framework for web-based GIS/database applications

    Creator:
    Wangmutitakul, Paphun
    Abstract:
    We have developed a framework for Web-based GIS/database applications which allow users to insert, update, delete, and query data with a map interface displayed by Web browsers. The framework was designed so that a Web-based GIS application that uses ArcIMS as a map server can be easily created, customized, and...

  • Contributions to Collaborative Filtering Research

    Creator:
    Nong, Shuzhen
    Abstract:
    In this report, I first introduce three areas of interest to collaborative filtering researchers, namely: (a) how to solve the sparsity and scalability problems in recommendation systems; (b) how to rapidly develop and test collaborative filtering algorithms; and (c) how to apply collaborative filtering to unbounded numeric preference data. In...

  • A collaborative filtering algorithm and evaluation metric that accurately model the user experience

    Creator:
    McLaughlin, Matthew
    Abstract:
    "Collaborative filtering algorithms’ performances have been evaluated using a variety of metrics. These metrics, such as Mean Absolute Error and Precision, have often ignored recommendations for which they do not have data. Ignoring these recommendations has provided numbers which do not accurately represent the user experience. Qualitatively we have seen...

  • Enhancing intelligent API tutors with information about how APIs are used in practice

    Creator:
    Krishnamoorthy, Vasanth
    Abstract:
    Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) enable software developers to utilize and create functionality that would otherwise take a lot of time and effort to build from scratch. Consequently, an essential part of software engineering training is for students to learn how to use APIs effectively. The existing jTutors system enables an...

  • Implementing a Run-time Library for a Parallel MATLAB Compiler

    Creator:
    Malishevsky, Alexey
    Abstract:
    Programming parallel machines has been a difficult and unrewarding task. The short lifespan of parallel machines and their incompatibility have made it difficult to utilize them. Our goal here is to create an environment for parallel computing which allows users to take advantage of parallel computers without writing parallel programs....

  • Towards the Design and Evaluation of Effective Educational Virtual Reality Applications

    Creator:
    Rangarajan, Vaishnavi
    Abstract:
    With the rapid advancement of educational technology and the need for personalized, engaging content to accommodate diverse learning needs, Virtual Reality (VR) holds promises for the present and future. However, VR applications suffer from challenges, including usability concerns, lack of pedagogical value, and evaluation standards. This thesis focuses on two...

  • Mapping Software Development Tool Design to Information Foraging Theory

    Creator:
    Nabi, Md Tahmid-un
    Abstract:
    The design of programming tools is slow and costly. To ease this process, we have developed a design pattern catalog aimed at providing guidance about how to design tools for developers. This guidance is grounded in Information Foraging Theory (IFT), which empirical studies have shown to be useful for understanding...

  • Comparison of physical working capacity, body composition, and cholesterol concentration in trained as opposed to normally active children

    Creator:
    Chen, Kun-ning
    Abstract:
    The major purpose of this study was to determine if there were differences between well-trained pre- adolesents and untrained, but normally active counterparts in physical working capacity , body composition and blood lipids. The study hypotheses were that the trained subjects would have a lower mean body fat percentage, lower...
