Sewerage infrastructure, including wastewater treatment facilities and conveyance pipes, is reaching the end of its useful life throughout the United States. Aging infrastructure may be more susceptible to fracturing and collapses due to deterioration. Further, sewerage infrastructure is usually designed to discharge untreated wastewater or stormwater into nearby waterways during...
Cook-Chill Foodservice System was a new alternative foodservice
system in the 1960s. Food items in Cook-Chill Foodservice Systems are
prepared and chilled in advance of service, stored in inventory, and then
rethermalized before consumption.
The purpose of this research was to evaluate Cook-Chill Systems from
the foodservice manager's view. The...
Previous research in program understanding has been hampered by the
lack of an easy tool to measure the degree of that understanding. The cloze
procedure, suggested by Cook, Bregar, and Foote (1984) was an attempt to find
a simple, reliable, and valid measure of program understanding. In this
procedure, tokens...
Is it possible to achieve some of the benefits of formal testing within the informal programming conventions of the spreadsheet paradigm? We investigate an approach that attempts to do so via the development of a testing methodology for this paradigm. The "What You See Is What You Test" (WYSIWYT) methodology...
The Cook-Austral island chain has been the center of debate for many years. Contrary to the classical hotspot hypothesis, this volcanic island chain does not exhibit a linear age progression with a single node of active volcanism, but instead shows evidence of young volcanism at several points along the chain....
Prettyprinters are software tools that format program source code so that it conforms to certain standards of consistency and hence improves readability. Traditionally, these standards were fixed for a particular prettyprinter as indicated by a literature survey, with very little or no supporting evidence that the formatting style improves readability....
In this thesis we introduce alpha and beta tree acceptors,
generalizations of tree automata. The alpha tree acceptors recognize
a tree by final symbol and the beta tree acceptors by final state. We
show that alpha and beta tree acceptors recognize the same sets of
Gorn trees and demonstrate that...
