The Effect Of Age, Syntax Complexity, And Cognitive Ability On The Rate Of Semantic Illusions, Sara Anne Goring
The Effect Of Age, Syntax Complexity, And Cognitive Ability On The Rate Of Semantic Illusions, Sara Anne Goring
CGU Theses & Dissertations
Semantic illusions are recognition errors that occur when an individual fails to notice that information contradicts their prior knowledge (Barton & Sanford, 1993; Erickson & Mattson, 1981). For example, after hearing the question, “If a plane crashes while flying over state lines, where should the survivors be buried?” many start to consider the legality or appropriateness of the scenario despite knowing “survivors” should not be buried. Having more knowledge does not necessarily prevent individuals from overlooking illusory information/misinformation. Older adults tend to have greater crystallized intelligence than young adults, yet these age groups appear to detect illusory information at equivalent …
Lattice Extensions And Zeros Of Multilinear Polynomials, Maxwell Forst
Lattice Extensions And Zeros Of Multilinear Polynomials, Maxwell Forst
CGU Theses & Dissertations
We treat several problems related to the existence of lattice extensions preserving certain geometric properties and small-height zeros of various multilinear polynomials. An extension of a Euclidean lattice $L_1$ is a lattice $L_2$ of higher rank containing $L_1$ so that the intersection of $L_2$ with the subspace spanned by $L_1$ is equal to $L_1$. Our first result provides a counting estimate on the number of ways a primitive collection of vectors in a lattice can be extended to a basis for this lattice. Next, we discuss the existence of lattice extensions with controlled determinant, successive minima and covering radius. In …
A New Credit Scoring Model To Reduce Potential Predatory Lending: A Design Science Approach, Anna Zakowska
A New Credit Scoring Model To Reduce Potential Predatory Lending: A Design Science Approach, Anna Zakowska
CGU Theses & Dissertations
This research examines the potential impact of implementing a novel credit scoring model that integrates attributes beyond the traditional FICO model. It aims to address issues related to predatory lending and the financial exclusion affecting individuals often categorized as 'credit invisible,' 'credit unscorable,' 'unbanked,' and 'underbanked.' These individuals typically face difficulties in establishing or repairing a credit history, which poses a challenge for financial institutions in accurately evaluating their creditworthiness. This gap in the credit assessment process often opens doors to unfair lending practices. To tackle this problem, a systematically designed, built, tested, and evaluated innovative credit scoring model was …
On Symmetric Operator Ideals And S-Numbers, Daniel Akech Thiong
On Symmetric Operator Ideals And S-Numbers, Daniel Akech Thiong
CGU Theses & Dissertations
Motivated by the well-known theorem of Schauder, we study the relationship between various s-numbers of an operator T and its adjoint T∗ between Banach spaces. For non-compact operator T ∈ L(X, Y ), we do not have a lot of information about the relationship between n-th s-number, sn(T), with sn(T∗ ), however, in chapter 2, by considering X and Y , with lifting and extension properties, respectively, we were able to obtain a relationship between sn(T) with sn(T∗ ) for certain …
Graph-Based Acoustic Clustering And Classification, Justin Youngho Sunu
Graph-Based Acoustic Clustering And Classification, Justin Youngho Sunu
CGU Theses & Dissertations
The rapid growth of audio data collection in various domains necessitates advanced techniquesfor efficient analysis and classification. This dissertation proposes new approaches for categorizing acoustic data, using both unsupervised and semi-supervised learning methods. Starting with raw audio, we preprocess the signal to segment it into time windows, each of which we consider as an independent data point. We use the short-time Fourier transform to describe the signal in a given time window as a set of Fourier coefficients. We interpret the resulting frequency signature as a high-dimensional feature description of each data point. We then develop a graph-based approach for …
The Green Revolution In California: The Real Costs And Benefits Of Changing Electricity Production, Joseph James Hoffman
The Green Revolution In California: The Real Costs And Benefits Of Changing Electricity Production, Joseph James Hoffman
CGU Theses & Dissertations
In recent years democratic societies have added concern for the environment to the perennial problems of inequality, economic growth, and law and order. What is often called the Green Revolution has focused on the effect of industrial growth on the health of the individuals living in that society and on the effects on climate. In the United States, the State that was the first to see this problem and the first to make changes to deal with it, was California, where geographical factors ensured that the effects of industrial change on the air were much more severe than anywhere else …
