  • Cued forgetting of tones : intentional forgetting of non-verbal items

    Creator:
    Jones, R. Alan (Richard Alan)
    Abstract:
    This experiment used a choice recognition time task. The subjects task was to decide whether a probe tone was or was not among a presented set of one to four tones. One of three cue conditions occured on each trial: the cue (a light) was presented immediately following the tone...

  • Racism and Bad Faith

    Creator:
    Jones, Gregory Alan
    Abstract:
    Human beings are condemned to freedom, according to Jean-Paul Sartre's Being and Nothingness. Every individual creates his or her own identity according to choice. Because we choose ourselves, each individual is also completely responsible for his or her actions. This responsibility causes anguish that leads human beings to avoid their...

  • Robust Reference-Free Sim-to-Real Reinforcement Learning for Bipedal Locomotion

    Creator:
    Siekmann, Jonah A.
    Abstract:
    In recent years, model-free Deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) has become an increasingly popular alternative to more traditional model-based or optimization-based control methods in solving robotic legged locomotion. However, deploying RL in the real world can be a significant undertaking. Constructing reward functions which compel controllers to learn the desired behavior...

  • Evaluating the quality of teaching in art : a social judgment analysis

    Creator:
    Browne, Beverly Ann
    Abstract:
    This study, based on Brunswik's (1952, 1956) lens model, examined the judgment policies employed by 67 art students and faculty when they evaluate instruction. Four groups of subjects, non-art majors, undergraduate art majors, graduate and bachelor of fine arts students, and faculty members, judged a series of 35 hypothetical teacher...

  • Development of a method to measure protein in red wines : a survey of protein, mannan and tannin in Pinot noir wines

    Creator:
    Smith, Mark R.
    Abstract:
    A number of methods to isolate and quantify protein in Pinot noir wines were evaluated. The combination of precipitation by acetone containing 10% w/v trichloroacetic acid followed by quantification with the Bradford assay, reported in yeast invertase equivalents yielded the most accurate results when compared to micro-Kjeldahl analysis. The technique...

  • Investigation of Infrared Absorption of Carbon Dioxide in Metal–Organic Framework Material

    Creator:
    Li, Shiwen
    Abstract:
    Due to the advantages of the high surface area and high porosity, Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) materials are widely used in gas storage. As a typical MOF material, Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 (Zif-8) has high selectivity and adsorption capability of carbon dioxide (CO2). In this thesis, we investigated the infrared absorption of...

  • Stake-Free Evaluations of Black-Box Optimization and Spatio-Temporal Graph Network Algorithms

    Creator:
    Merrill, Erich, III
    Abstract:
    Papers proposing novel machine learning algorithms tend to present the algorithm or technique in question in the best possible light. The standard practice is generally for authors to emphasize their proposed algorithms' performance in the precise setting where it is maximally impressive, often by only fully evaluating their best known...

  • Recurrent Neural Networks for Robotic Control of a Human-Scale Bipedal Robot

    Creator:
    Siekmann, Jonah A.
    Abstract:
    Dynamic bipedal locomotion is among the most difficult and yet relevant problems in modern robotics. While a multitude of classical control methods for bipedal locomotion exist, they are often brittle or limited in capability. In recent years, work in applying reinforcement learning to robotics has lead to superior performance across...

  • Age structure, developmental pathways, and fire regime characterization of Douglas-fir/western hemlock forests in the central western Cascades of Oregon

    Creator:
    Tepley, Alan J.
    Abstract:
    Descriptions of the fire regime in the Douglas-fir/western hemlock region of the Pacific Northwest traditionally have emphasized infrequent, predominantly stand-replacement fires and an associated linear pathway of stand development, where all stands proceed along a common pathway until reset by the next fire. Although such a description may apply in...

  • Synthesis of novel ambifunctional atropisomeric 2,2',6,6'-tetrasubstituted biphenyls and investigation of their properties and organocatalytic activity

    Creator:
    Sephton, Mark Alan
    Abstract:
    Ambifunctional axially chiral 2,2',6,6'-tetrasubstituted biphenyls containing nucleophilic (or basic) functional groups juxtaposed with hydrogen-bond donors were synthesized and their properties studied. Applications for the prepared biaryls as potential organocatalysts for enantioselective carbon-carbon bond forming reactions were examined. Processes investigated included: aldol, Michael, nitroaldol (Henry), and Baylis-Hillman reactions. The novel amidoamine...
