The Affective Perceptual Model: Enhancing Communication Quality For Persons With Pimd, Jadin Tredup
The Affective Perceptual Model: Enhancing Communication Quality For Persons With Pimd, Jadin Tredup
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
Methods for prolonged compassionate care for persons with Profound Intellectual and Multiple Disabilities (PIMD) require a rotating cast of import people in the subjects life in order to facilitate interaction with the external environment. As subjects continue to age, dependency on these people increases with complexity of communications while the quality of communication decreases. It is theorized that a machine learning (ML) system could replicate the attuning process and replace these people to promote independence. This thesis extends this idea to develop a conceptual and formal model and system prototype.
The main contributions of this thesis are: (1) proposal of …
A Monolithic Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian Finite Element Method For An Unsteady Stokes/Parabolic Interface Problem, Ian Kesler
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
In this thesis, a non-conservative arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method is developed
and analyzed for a type of linearized Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) problem in a
time dependent domain with a moving interface - an unsteady Stokes/parabolic interface
problem with jump coefficients. The corresponding mixed finite element approximation is
analyzed for both semi- and full discretization based upon the so-called non-conservative
ALE scheme. The stability and optimal convergence properties in the energy norm are
obtained for both schemes.
