Academic Comparison Of Athletes And Non-Athletes In A Rural High School, Holt E Zaugg

Faculty Publications

This study compares academic performance, behavior, and commitment of basketball and volleyball athletes and non-athletes in a rural Canadian high school. It compares mid-term and final grades in each school discipline; visits to an administrator for disciplinary visits; and demerit points for improper behavior; and estimates the mean weekly time commitment for athletes in each sport.

Two-pion correlations from Pb1Pb collisions at 158 GeV/c per nucleon are measured by the NA44 experiment at CERN. Multidimensional fits characterize the emission volume, which is found to be larger than in S-induced collisions. Comparison to the RQMD model is used to relate the fit parameters to the actual emission volume.

Guaranteed-Cost Control Of The Nonlinear Benchmark Problem Using Model-Based Fuzzy Systems, Chaouki T. Abdallah, A. Jadbabaie, M. Jamshidi, Peter Dorato

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

We design a state-feedback controller for the nonlinear benchmark problem. Our approach relies on the use of Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy models to approximate the nonlinear system. Once the fuzzy model is obtained, we develop a guaranteed-cost framework to design the controller using linear matrix inequality methods and the recently obtained relaxed stability conditions. We show that our proposed controller will not only stabilize the system, but also has satisfactory disturbance attenuation properties.

Undergraduates Arguing A Case, Susheela A. Varghese, Sunita A. Abraham

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

This essay describes an instructional study in which students were trained in two key aspects of argumentation, namely, the structural and interpersonal components. The structural aspects were taught and measured in terms of Toulmin's (1958) framework of argument analysis (i.e., the quality of claims, grounds and warrants used). The interpersonal aspects in turn were measured in terms of the creation of a clear persona, audience adaptiveness (the appropriate use of rational and emotional appeals), and stance towards the unique discourse of argumentation. Students performed a pre-instruction writing task, underwent eight weeks of explicit instruction in argumentation, then performed the task …

Validity And Norm Development For The Composite Examination Of Mental Status, Antoinette L. James

Theses and Dissertations

The Composite Exam of Mental Status (CEMS) is an instrument designed to screen patients for dementia and other cognitive impairments. This test is comprised of 12 subsections each requiring different cognitive abilities to complete. Areas assessed are Attention/Concentration, Orientation, Immediate Recall, Spontaneous Recall, Cued Recall, Naming, Verbal Fluency, Writing, Planning, Mental Flexibility, Construction and Abstract Reasoning.

The purpose of this study was to conduct concurrent validity analyses and initial norm development of the CEMS. The archival data for this study had been collected at 2 nursing homes in the upper midwest over a one year period. There were 168 (males …

A Graph Based Process Model Measurement Framework Using Scheduling Theory, Gary Guang-Li Mou

Dissertations

Software development processes, as a means of ensuring software quality and productivity, have been widely accepted within the software development community; software process modeling, on the other hand, continues to be a subject of interest in the research community. Even with organizations that have achieved higher SEI maturity levels, processes are by and large described in documents and reinforced as guidelines or laws governing software development activities. The lack of industry-wide adaptation of software process modeling as part of development activities can be attributed to two major reasons: lack of forecast power in the (software) process modeling and lack of …

Automatic Analysis Of Electronic Drawings Using Neural Network, Yi Shi

Dissertations

Neural network technique has been found to be a powerful tool in pattern recognition. It captures associations or discovers regularities with a set of patterns, where the types, number of variables or diversity of the data are very great, the relationships between variables are vaguely understood, or the relationships are difficult to describe adequately with conventional approaches.

In this dissertation, which is related to the research and the system design aiming at recognizing the digital gate symbols and characters in electronic drawings, we have proposed: (1) A modified Kohonen neural network with a shift-invariant capability in pattern recognition; (2) An …

Univercity News (1998-08-31)

UniverCity News, 1998-2001

VCU Today, the University’s first official administrative organ, began as a somewhat irregular monthly publication but moved to a bi-weekly newspaper format in the 1980s. The newspaper changed its name to VCU Voice in 1988 and ten years later it appeared under the title UniverCity News. As it neared the end of its run as a physical newspaper, the publication became simply VCU News. These four publications were essentially the same periodical published under different titles by the Office of University Relations. VCU News appeared online for the first time in 2002.

Pareto Optimality And The Rule Of Law, Noel B. Reynolds

Faculty Publications

In 1959, James M. Buchanan criticized the collectivist misuse of Pareto optimality by the "new welfare economists" and made a first attempt to extend that individualist concept into the political realm. Over the following three decades he further developed his political application of Pareto’s insight to buttress an essentially economic analysis of political exchange that would justify the processes of constitutional democracy in the same way Pareto efficiency justifies free markets. In this paper I will explain why Buchanan’s particular formulations will not work and propose a more comprehensive solution that accomplishes Buchanan’s announced purpose. I will argue that a …
