Forecasting of ocean waves over a short duration on the order of tens of seconds was approached with the optimization of wave energy conversion in mind. This study outlines the development of an artificial neural network model, specifically the Nonlinear Autoregressive Network with Exogenous Input (NARX), to predict a wave-by-wave...
Traditionally, research into end-user programming has focused on how to make programming more accessible to end users. However, few researchers have considered providing end users with devices to help improve the reliability of the programs they create. To help improve the reliability of spreadsheets created by end users, we are...
The purpose of this research was to compare two instructional
programs of inservice training on Personal Hygiene for hospital foodservice
employees for knowledge retention and cost effectiveness.
The two instructional methods used were lecture discussion with a
script and transparencies and the individual instruction with cassette
tape and slides.
The...
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of power weight training and conventional weight training on forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in one second in college males. Sixteen college males were employed as the two experimental groups: seven subjects for a power weight training experimental...
Forced vital capacity lung expiration examinations of nonsmoking
and cigarette-smoking male sample populations were compared to
determine if the 75 to 85 percent segment was a more sensitive test
of early lung dysfunction. The nonsmoking population was composed
of 240 men who were tested for values of forced vital capacity...
Hydraulic power take-off (PTO) systems have been implemented in several wave energy converter (WEC) designs in recent years. Two popular hydraulic PTO configurations coupled to a point absorber hydrodynamic model are simulated in waves representative of an energetic sea state likely to be found in deep waters off the coast...
