A Similarity Based Concordance Approach To Word Sense Disambiguation, Ramakrishnan B. Guru Jan 2004

A Similarity Based Concordance Approach To Word Sense Disambiguation, Ramakrishnan B. Guru

Masters Theses

This study attempts to solve the problem of Word Sense Disambiguation using a combination of statistical, probabilistic and word matching algorithms. These algorithms consider that words and sentences have some hidden similarities and that the polysemous words in any context should be assigned to a sense after each execution of the algorithm. The algorithm was tested with sufficient sample data and the efficiency of the disambiguation performance has proven to increase significantly after the inclusion of the concordance methodology.

Distinct Group Differences And Discriminant Validity Of The Adjustment Scales For Children And Adolescents: Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder Versus Conduct Disorder, James Richard White

Masters Theses

The present study examined the distinct group differences and discriminant validity of the Adjustment Scales for Children and Adolescents (ASCA; McDermott, Marston, & Stott, 1993). Participants included 37 children in kindergarten through twelfth grade. Thirty children met DISC-IV/DSM-IV criteria for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and 7 met DISC-IV/DSM-IV criteria for Conduct Disorder. Participants were classified based on the results of the DISC-IV parent interview administered by school psychology interns. The teacher completed the ASCA when the student was initially referred. Results of the present study provided further support for the discriminant validity of the ASCA. The results of the MANOVA …

Voices Of First And Second Generation College Students: Reasons For Enrolling In Graduate Education, Rodney S. Ranes Jan 2004

Voices Of First And Second Generation College Students: Reasons For Enrolling In Graduate Education, Rodney S. Ranes

Masters Theses

The purpose of the present study was to identify characteristics and choices that have assisted first-generation students in attaining a baccalaureate degree and enrolling in graduate study. Previous research identified academic preparation, institutional choice, and family experiences as areas that influenced first-generation students. Attrition and retention were also explored, as well as issues related to graduate enrollment. A selected sample of four first-generation and four second-generation participants were interviewed using qualitative methods (Lincoln & Guba, 1985) regarding academic preparation, family culture, prior institutional choice, and influential mentors. Interview findings were triangulated and themes and issues identified. Results showed that second-generation …


The Effects Of Family Functioning And Parent Structure On The Prevalence And Intensity Of Childhood Fears, Rebecca Leis Pederson Jan 2004

The Effects Of Family Functioning And Parent Structure On The Prevalence And Intensity Of Childhood Fears, Rebecca Leis Pederson

Masters Theses

The current study was designed to examine the relation between family factors, such as family functioning and parent structure, and the prevalence and intensity of childhood fears. One hundred and sixteen children in grades 3-12 were surveyed using the Fear Survey Schedule-II. Of the 116 children surveyed, 75 had parents who returned the Self Report Family Inventory and demographic survey. Results indicated that younger, female participants reported fears of greater prevalence and intensity than male participants. Contrary to predictions, neither family functioning or any of its associated factors were found to be related to the prevalence and intensity of childhood …
