The Proportion Of Snail Kites Attempting To Breed And The Number Of Breeding Attempts Per Year In Florida, Robert E. Bennetts, Katie Golden, Victoria J. Dreitz, Wiley M. Kitchens Aug 1998

The Proportion Of Snail Kites Attempting To Breed And The Number Of Breeding Attempts Per Year In Florida, Robert E. Bennetts, Katie Golden, Victoria J. Dreitz, Wiley M. Kitchens

Wildlife Biology Faculty Publications

During the breeding season of 1995 we monitored the proportion of adult and subadult Snail Kites (Rostrhamus sociabilis) attempting to breed and the number of breeding attempts using radio telemetry. Our sample consisted of 23 adults (14 females, 9 males) and 9 subadults for which we had data over the entire breeding season. All adults attempted to breed at least once with an observed average of 1.4 (± 0.6 SD) breeding attempts per individual. In contrast, only 3 (33%) of the subadults attempted to breed. Of the adults, 15 (65%) made one breeding attempt, 7 (30%) made two …

A Braille Translation Solution Using Autocad And Lisp, Brian E. Bennett Aug 1998

A Braille Translation Solution Using Autocad And Lisp, Brian E. Bennett

Graduate Research Papers

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1994 brought new requirements for architects, designers, and drafters to apply Braille symbol sets at various locations of public and private buildings. With production of many drawings using computer-aided drafting, the opportunity exists to automate this process, solve the problem of text to Braille conversion, and satisfy the requirements of federal regulation. This paper presents a LISP programing code structure for use within the AutoCAD drafting and design '\ software to solve the Braille symbol set translation problem with both 2D and 3D representations. An explanation of the logic and a detailed listing of …

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

The purpose of this thesis project is to understand what the biblical principles for Church Growth are and, to evaluate the problems hindering Church Growth within the Baptist Bible Fellowship Korea. Based on surveys sent to the BBF pastors in Korea, the project analyzes and evaluates the actual figures of church ministry, strategy, pastoral leadership, and common hindrances of Church Growth. Ten practical strategies for 21st Century Church Growth of BBF in Korea are proposed. These ten strategies are effective because they draw from the biblical principles, the growing churches, the studies of Church Growth, and church growth experts.


A Feasibility Study Of On-Line Excitation System Parameter Estimation, Eric Ludwig, K. Shah, Kelvin T. Erickson, Mariesa Crow Aug 1998

A Feasibility Study Of On-Line Excitation System Parameter Estimation, Eric Ludwig, K. Shah, Kelvin T. Erickson, Mariesa Crow

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

This paper details a feasibility study of estimating excitation system parameters during online operation using time-domain system identification. This study concentrates on identifying the appropriate exciter model, developing an input signal that would provide a proper level of perturbation such that the dynamics of the system can be captured, analyzing the effects of both systematic and random noise, developing algorithms to perform the parameter estimation, testing and validating the obtained system parameters. This study established a strong basis for estimating the system parameters during online operation.


Design Of Airflow Aperture Arrays In Shielding Enclosures, Min Li, S. Radu, J. Neubel, James L. Drewniak, Todd H. Hubing, Thomas Van Doren Aug 1998

Design Of Airflow Aperture Arrays In Shielding Enclosures, Min Li, S. Radu, J. Neubel, James L. Drewniak, Todd H. Hubing, Thomas Van Doren

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

EMI through perforation patterns for airflow in shielding enclosures resulting from coupling of interior sources is investigated numerically with FDTD simulations and experimentally. The FDTD simulations are compared with measurements on perforation patterns. A simple empirical design approach for the relation between aperture size, the number of apertures and shielding effectiveness is extracted. A double perforation pattern structure is proposed for perforation pattern designs where a high percentage of open area is required. Frequencies where the enclosure will support cavity modes are of primary concern.

Multiple Discourses In Early Mormon Religion, Jon M. Duncan Aug 1998

Multiple Discourses In Early Mormon Religion, Jon M. Duncan

Theses and Dissertations

The development of early Mormon religion is best viewed in the context of multiple discourses, each of which contained various competing symbols. These discourses shaped the mind and world-view of early Latter-day Saints and determined in part their behavior. Prophetic symbols existed simultaneously with other, more American symbols; and while neither discourse excluded the other, a prophetic discourse gradually came to dominate. At the same time, however, the American discourse in Mormon religion remained intact and continued to influence the behavior and actions of early Mormons.


Nature Of Resonant Photoemission In Gd, Shubhra R. Mishra, Thomas K. Cummins, George Daniel Waddill, W. J. Gammon, Gerrit V. Van Der Laan, Kyle W. Goodman, James G. Tobin Aug 1998

Nature Of Resonant Photoemission In Gd, Shubhra R. Mishra, Thomas K. Cummins, George Daniel Waddill, W. J. Gammon, Gerrit V. Van Der Laan, Kyle W. Goodman, James G. Tobin

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

The phenomenon of resonant photoemission happens when, in addition to a direct photoemission channel, a second indirect channel opens up as the absorption threshold of a core level is crossed. A massive increase in emission cross section can occur, but the nature of the process remains clouded. Using novel magnetic linear dichroism in photoelectron spectroscopy experiments and theoretical calculations, we can now clearly demonstrate that temporal matching of the processes as well as energy matching is a requirement for true "resonant photoemission.".

Prototype Internet Consultation System For Radiologists, Boris Kovalerchuk, James F. Ruiz, Evgenii Vityaev, Steven Fisher

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of the Sciences

The overall purpose of this study is to develop a prototype radiological consultation system. We concentrate our work on prototype software environment for the system. The system provides a second diagnostic opinion based on similar cases, incorporating the experience of radiologists, their diagnostic rules and a database of previous cases. The system allows a radiologist to enter the description of a particular case using the lexicon such as BI-RADS of American College of Radiology and retrieve the second diagnostic opinion (probable diagnosis) for a given case. The system also allows a radiologist to get other important information too. These advances …


On Agent Communication In Large Groups, Gary R. Greenfield Aug 1998

On Agent Communication In Large Groups, Gary R. Greenfield

Department of Math & Statistics Technical Report Series

The problem is fundamental and natural, yet deep - to simulate the simplest possible form of communication that can occur within a large multi-agent system. It would be prohibitive to try and survey all of the research on "communication" in general so we must restrict our focus. We will devote our efforts to synthetic communication occurring within large groups. In particular, we would like to discover a model for communication that will serve as an abstract model, a prototype, for simulating communication within large groups of biological organisms.

A Computer/Tutorial System Compared With A Workbook/Tutorial System For Presenting Instructional Material To At-Risk Elementary School Students, Vincent O. Hodge Aug 1998

A Computer/Tutorial System Compared With A Workbook/Tutorial System For Presenting Instructional Material To At-Risk Elementary School Students, Vincent O. Hodge

Dissertations

Two different ways of presenting instructional material and reacting to students’ responses were compared. One, taking advantage of several features of multimedia instruction involved a desktop computer and various computer-presented consequences of correct and incorrect responses (largely chosen by the student). The other consisted in presenting the same instructional materials (the SRA primary curriculum) in a workbook form with tutors' comments and praise as the main form of response consequence. The two methods were compared with respect to various measures of student and system performance, including student accuracy (percent correct responses), types of errors, amount of correct response repetition (over-responding), …


The Effects Of Counselor Skills Training On Levels Of Counselor Cognitive Complexity, David K. Duys Aug 1998

The Effects Of Counselor Skills Training On Levels Of Counselor Cognitive Complexity, David K. Duys

Dissertations

This study measured the impact of an intensive counseling skills training course on levels of cognitive complexity in novice counselors. Graduate level counseling students were assessed at the beginning of a basic counseling skills training course and again at the end of the course by obtaining written responses to a stimulus questionnaire. A control group was recruited consisting of other graduate counseling students who were taking other courses during the same time interval and who were not exposed to the basic counseling skills course. Participants in the control group were tested using the same instrument and their scores were compared …


Laterality Of The Perception Of Computer Presented Written Sexual Words By Right-Handed Males And Females, Randall W. Stewart Aug 1998

Laterality Of The Perception Of Computer Presented Written Sexual Words By Right-Handed Males And Females, Randall W. Stewart

Dissertations

The right hemisphere of males has been shown to possess a greater capacity for accurate perception of emotional non-verbal material (pictures) than the left hemisphere. The same is true for females, but with a smaller difference between the two hemispheres. Some previous research has partially confirmed these relationships using tachistoscopic presentation of emotional words. The present study, using briefly exposed computerpresented sexual words, compared perception accuracy with respect to a sexuality rating of clearly sexual and clearly non-sexual words, in the right versus the left visual field, and with males versus females. As with previous research using verbal stimuli, the …
