The purpose of this study was to identify the factors that
influence electronics technicians to participate in work-related
training and to explain the relationships among those factors.
Based on Steers and Rhodes' Employees Attendance Process Model,
the subjects' willingness to participate in work-related training
was regarded as an indicator of...
The consistent application of phosphatase inhibitors and a novel final purification step using a connected series of DE-51, DE-52, and DE-53 anion exchange chromatography columns facilitate the preparation of electrophoretically homogeneous sub-pupulations of rabbit muscle phosphofructokinase which differ in their catalytic properties and endogenous covalent phosphate contents. A band of...
Analysis, visualization, and design of vector fields on surfaces have a wide variety of major applications in both scientific visualization and computer graphics. On the one hand, analysis and visualization of vector fields provide critical insights to the flow data produced from simulation or experiments of various engineering processes. On...
This study employed ethnographic methodology to investigate and record the post-camp, pre-assimilation period of Laotian refugees.The primary goal was to document the special problems and experiences of the Laotian population as they attempted to adjust to new roles and expectations within mainstream North American society.Oral histories and biographical statements focused...
Ecological domains seeking to understand the environment and the behavior of species have received little attention in machine learning (ML), despite the fact that environmental changes have a significant impact on humans as well as ecosystems. Some ecological problems can be formulated similarly to other common ML applications, but there...
This thesis presents a method for determining range
of body motion for a walking machine with feet fixed on
the ground. The darkling beetle was selected as the
sample subject in this study.
A closed form inverse kinematic solution is used to
determine if a point in space is within...
This thesis investigates a simple dynamic model of the hind leg
of a beetle during initiation of a step. The primary assumption was
that the full load of the body was carried on the hind leg during
this time. That is, the only forces on the body were that of...
