A Multi-User Network Game For Learning English, Moon Jung Kim
A Multi-User Network Game For Learning English, Moon Jung Kim
Theses
As the era changed, education programs have developed tremendously and there are more people who seek for a new way to study easier. A game is one way to learn new skills; Network games especially can be used most effectively to support the goal of education. I believe that people can gain more knowledge through competitive games than memorizing by them selves. Some might think network games are not needed because there is no need for other people when you can compete with a computer, but There are limitations using just a computer and people feel more competitive when they …

The Assessment Of Language Delays In Preschoolers With The Differential Abilities Scales, Tracey Walenta
The Assessment Of Language Delays In Preschoolers With The Differential Abilities Scales, Tracey Walenta
Theses
Language-delayed preschoolers are a heterogeneous population with diverse language skills and needs. Research has demonstrated the need for more psychometrically sound assessment instruments to accurately identify preschoolers with language delays and their specific subtypes in the general preschool population. Research has also demonstrated the Differential Ability Scales to be an effective and psychometrically sound assessment measure for differentiating among preschoolers across a broad range of skills and abilities. The purpose of this study was to examine the utility of the Differential Ability Scales in distinguishing language-delayed preschoolers and specific subtypes of language delays in the general preschool population. It was …

Response Surface Methodology Of Die-Sink-Electro-Discharge Machined Surfaces, Bhairav Mehta
Response Surface Methodology Of Die-Sink-Electro-Discharge Machined Surfaces, Bhairav Mehta
Theses
The performance of most manufacturing processes depends on numerous parameters and their interactions. Most of the time, selection of an appropriate set of machining parameters is done based on experience, trial and error or both. Electro-discharge machining (EDM) process is complicated and random in nature. The large number of parameters and the inherent complexity of removal mechanism taking place in EDM make it even more difficult to select machining conditions for optimal performance. The objective of this study is to provide information on the relationships between the key input variables and resultant surface roughness and to develop a response model …
Virtual Electro-Photographic Printer Model, Sunadi Gunawan
Virtual Electro-Photographic Printer Model, Sunadi Gunawan
Theses
A halftone image in the computer is a bitmap matrix that contains either 0 or 1 , where 0 means the printer will not deposit any toner onto a paper and 1 means the printer will deposit some amount of toner onto a paper. The amount of toner that is put by the printer onto a paper for a given input signal pattern is characterized. The hypothesis was that the distribution of toner mass on the paper for a given input matrix pattern can be modeled with a toner point spread function, a toner transfer efficiency function, and a noise …
An Investigation Of Trace Cache Organizations For Superscalar Processors, Edward Mulrane Jr
An Investigation Of Trace Cache Organizations For Superscalar Processors, Edward Mulrane Jr
Theses
Techniques such as out-of-order issue and speculative execution aggressively exploit instruction level parallelism in modem superscalar processor architectures. The front end of such pipelined machines is concerned with providing a stream of schedulable instructions at a bandwidth that meets or exceeds the rate of instructions being issued and executed. As superscalar machines become increasingly wide, it is inevitable that the large set of instructions to be fetched every cycle will span multiple noncontiguous basic blocks. The mechanism to fetch, align, and pass this set of instructions down the pipeline must do so as efficiendy as possible, occupying a minimal number …
The Ciecam02 Color Appearance Model, Nathan Moroney, Mark Fairchild, Robert Hunt, Changjun Li
The Ciecam02 Color Appearance Model, Nathan Moroney, Mark Fairchild, Robert Hunt, Changjun Li
Presentations and other scholarship
The CIE Technical Committee 8-01, color appearance models for color management applications, has recently proposed a single set of revisions to the CIECAM97s color appearance model. This new model, called CIECAM02, is based on CIECAM97s but includes many revisions1-4 and some simplifications. A partial list of revisions includes a linear chromatic adaptation transform, a new non-linear response compression function and modifications to the calculations for the perceptual attribute correlates. The format of this paper is an annotated description of the forward equations for the model.

Observer Preferences And Cultural Differences In Color Reproduction Of Scenic Images, Scot Fernandez, Mark Fairchild
Observer Preferences And Cultural Differences In Color Reproduction Of Scenic Images, Scot Fernandez, Mark Fairchild
Presentations and other scholarship
Observer preferences in the color reproduction of pictorial images have been a topic of debate for many years. Through a series of psychophysical experiments we are trying to better understand the differences and trends in observer preferences for pictorial images, determine if cultural biases on preference exist, and finally generate a set of preferred color reproduced images for future experimentation and evaluation. The results yielded that statistical difference between the peaks of preference of image quality may exist between cultures, but that the cultural difference observed is most likely not of practical significance for most applications. The analysis of a …
Elastic Ladar Modeling For Synthetic Imaging Applications, Robin R. Burton, John R. Schott, Scott D. Brown
Elastic Ladar Modeling For Synthetic Imaging Applications, Robin R. Burton, John R. Schott, Scott D. Brown
Articles
The Digital Imaging and Remote Sensing Image Generation (DIRSIG) model is a synthetic imagery generation model developed at the Center for Imaging Science (CIS) at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). It is a quantitative first principle based model that calculates the sensor reaching radiance from the visible through to the long wave infrared on a spectral basis. DIRSIG generates a very accurate representation of what a sensor would see by modeling all the processes involved in the imaging chain. Currently, DIRSIG only models passive sources such as the sun and blackbody radiation due to the temperature of an object. …

Incorporation Of Polarization Into The Dirsig Synthetic Image Generation Model, Jason P. Meyers, John R. Schott, Scott D. Brown
Incorporation Of Polarization Into The Dirsig Synthetic Image Generation Model, Jason P. Meyers, John R. Schott, Scott D. Brown
Articles
The Digital Imaging and Remote Sensing Synthetic Image Generation (DIRSIG) model uses a quantitative first principles approach to generate synthetic hyperspectral imagery. This paper presents the methods used to add modeling of polarization phenomenology. The radiative transfer equations were modified to use Stokes vectors for the radiance values and Mueller matrices for the energy-matter interactions. The use of Stokes vectors enables a full polarimetric characterization of the illumination and sensor reaching radiances. The bi-directional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) module was rewritten and modularized to accommodate a variety of polarized and unpolarized BRDF models. Two new BRDF models based on Torrance- …

Many-To-Many Invocation: A New Framework For Building Collaborative Applications In Ad Hoc Networks, Hans-Peter Bischof, Alan Kaminsky
Many-To-Many Invocation: A New Framework For Building Collaborative Applications In Ad Hoc Networks, Hans-Peter Bischof, Alan Kaminsky
Articles
Many-to-Many Invocation (M2MI) is a new paradigm for building collaborative systems that run in wireless proximal ad hoc networks of fixed and mobile computing devices. M2MI is useful for building a broad range of systems, including service discovery frameworks; groupware for mobile ad hoc collaboration; systems involving networked devices (printers, cameras, sensors); and collaborative middleware systems. M2MI provides an object oriented method call abstraction based on broadcasting. An M2MI invocation means ``Every object out there that implements this interface, call this method.''. M2MI is layered on top of a new messaging protocol, the Many-to-Many Protocol (M2MP), which broadcasts messages to …

Single Wall Carbon Nanotube-Nafion Composite Actuators, Brian Landi
Single Wall Carbon Nanotube-Nafion Composite Actuators, Brian Landi
Theses
Single wall carbon nanotube (SWNT)-Nafion composite actuators have been demonstrated for 0.1 - 18 %, w/w doping of purified SWNTs within the polymer matrix. The high purity SWNTs, >95%w/w, were prepared using thermal oxidation and acid treatments for both in-house synthesized pulse laser vaporization SWNTs and commercially obtained HiPco material. Characterization of the purified SWNTs was performed using thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, optical absorption and Raman spectroscopy. Homogeneous dispersions of SWNTs in a Nation polymer series were demonstrated using a combination of homogenization and high speed mixing techniques. Evaluation of SWNT-Nafion composites showed a "debundling" of the SWNT average …
Heat Transfer, Pressure Drop, And Dissolved Gas Effect During Flow Boiling In Microchannels, Mark Steinke
Heat Transfer, Pressure Drop, And Dissolved Gas Effect During Flow Boiling In Microchannels, Mark Steinke
Theses
Microchannels are being considered in many advanced heat transfer applications, including automotive, fuel cells, and electronics cooling. However, there are a number of fundamental issues still unresolved with respect to heat transfer and fluid mechanics perspective. An experimental investigation of the heat transfer, pressure drop, and flow patterns during flow boiling in microchannels is performed. Six parallel microchannels with a mean hydraulic diameter of 207 micron are manufactured and tested. Flow patterns have been observed in the channels under diabatic conditions. Observations suggest that the conventional flow patterns also occur in microchannels, however, the Reynolds number range is significantly lower …
A New Electronic Image Array: The Active Pixel Charge Injection Device, George Lungu
A New Electronic Image Array: The Active Pixel Charge Injection Device, George Lungu
Theses
This is a Ph.D. thesis dissertation in which a new type of image sensor is investigated as possible successor to the charge coupled device (CCD) for scientific applications. As a result of the work described in this dissertation, the active pixel charge injection device (AP-CID) has been developed. This device retains most of the positive features of both the charge injection device (CJD) imager (random readout, non destructive readout, antiblooming, increased UV sensitivity, radiation tolerance, low power consumption, low manufacturing price) and the CCD imager (low noise, high dynamic range). The device lacks most of the drawbacks of the aforementioned …
Absent, Shu-Jin Huang
Absent, Shu-Jin Huang
Theses
Inspired by the Romantic Movement, many artists have studied 'selfexploration' as I am doing now. Being uprooted from home and moving to a completely different culture can really influence a person. I am lucky to be exposed to a different culture and this leads me to examine myself in a different light. Who am I really and what makes me unique? In this thesis, I explore the concept of my work, 'Absent', its development, characteristics and the themes of the movements which influenced me.

Use Of Physics Based Models In Hyperspectral Image Exploitation, John Schott, Kyungsuk Lee, Rolando Raqueno
Use Of Physics Based Models In Hyperspectral Image Exploitation, John Schott, Kyungsuk Lee, Rolando Raqueno
Articles
This paper describes a concept for using physics based models to support exploitation of remotely sensed image spectrometer data. It then reviews several methods from the literature illustrating more specifically how physics based models have been used as part of atmospheric correction, water quality assessment and temperature measurement algorithms. Finally a new approach for using model based techniques for subpixel target detection is presented This technique builds on a previously introduced invariant method that uses physics based models to support target detection of fully resolved targets without requiring in scene training or atmospheric correction. An example using the new subpixel …

Speckle Observations Of Binary Stars With The Wiyn Telescope. Iii. A Partial Survey Of A, F, And G Dwarfs, Elliott P. Horch, Sarah Robinson, Zoran Ninkov, William F. Van Altena, Reed D. Meyer, Sean E. Urban, Brian D. Mason
Articles
Two hundred thirty nearby main-sequence stars with spectral types in the range of A to G have been observed by way of speckle interferometry using the WIYN 3.5 m telescope at Kitt Peak, Arizona. The stars had no previous mention of duplicity in the literature. Of those observed, 14 showed clear evidence of a companion, and 63 were classified as suspected nonsingle based on a power spectrum analysis. The remaining stars discussed show no evidence of duplicity to the limit of the detection system in high-quality observations.
On The Choice Of Optimal Temporal Control In Renewable Resource Management, Amitrajeet A. Batabyal, Hamid Beladi
On The Choice Of Optimal Temporal Control In Renewable Resource Management, Amitrajeet A. Batabyal, Hamid Beladi
Articles
This paper addresses the following hitherto unstudied question in renewable resource management: How should a resource manager set the temporal control optimally for renewable resources such as rangelands and fisheries that are managed with spatial and temporal controls? We use a dynamic and stochastic framework to first derive the resource manager’s long run average net cost function. We then demonstrate how the temporal control can be chosen to minimize this objective function.
Text And Image, David Reed
Text And Image, David Reed
Theses
The purpose of this thesis is to create images that juxtapose forms of the English language, with both related and non-related imagery, to create the illusion of realistic situations. My images will be expressed through computer-imaging processes, and non-toxic printmaking techniques, and will include the printing procedures and the problems associated with it. I will discuss not only the similarities and differences of artists who have influenced my work, but also my source material. The latter having been derived from observing and recording various uses of the English language, both as humor or social comment, and in the form of …
