  • Science and technology in cutting-edge agricultural biotechnology research

    Creator:
    Xia, Yin
    Abstract:
    The genetic engineering made possible by the discovery of recombinant DNA has played an increasingly important role in agricultural research. The present study employs a knowledge production model to assess the efficacy of, and relationship between, basic and applied research in agricultural biotechnology, allowing for both complementarity and substitutability between...

  • Marina Abramović’s Rhythm O: Reimagining the Roles of Artist and Observer

    Creator:
    Pearse, Ana
    Abstract:
    As art has dramatically morphed, altered, and reinvented itself throughout history, newfound conversations regarding artistic boundaries have begun being highlighted in contemporary debate. Analyzing artist Marina Abramović and her 1974 performance piece Rhythm O—along with additional performance artists in history, including Yoko Ono, Valie Export, and Chris Burden—this paper explores...

  • 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...

  • Defining the Novel by Conventions of Realism and Fictionality

    Creator:
    Villanti, Rebekah M.
    Abstract:
    As a relatively recent literary genre, the origin and parameters of the novel are yet to be specifically defined. This essay uses characteristics of early novels to attempt a definition for the novel based on its marks of realism and fictionality. Referencing the novelistic theories of Georg Lukács, Ian Watt,...

  • Towards Annotation-Efficient Video Representation Learning

    Creator:
    Patravali, Jay Sanjay
    Abstract:
    Labeling videos is costly, time-consuming and tedious. These costs can escalate in applications such as medical diagnosis or autonomous driving where we need domain expertise for annotation. Few-shot action recognition aims to solve this problem by annotation-efficient learning mechanisms. This thesis presents MetaUVFS as the first Unsupervised Meta-learning algorithm for...

  • Predicting the stability, equilibrium response, and nonequilibrium dynamics of ecological systems

    Creator:
    Hosack, Geoffrey R.
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, new theory and its applications are developed to predict three properties of complex ecological communities: stability, equilibrium response, and non-equilibrium dynamics. First, a graph-theoretic analysis identifies the interconnections in a complex ecosystem that promote or diminish stability (Chapter 2). The hierarchy of interactions that influences stability and...

  • Wax Transfer Printing Characterization : Expanding Wax Printing to Various Paper-Types

    Creator:
    To, Anthony
    Abstract:
    Currently, wax printing is limited to materials that can be processed by a wax printer. Wax transfer printing is a method that allows previously unusable materials to be patterned with wax via an intermediate template. Millipore cellulose, a material too thick to be processed by a wax printer, was patterned...
