Ideaconsciousness Networks, Wendy Angel Jan 2000

Ideaconsciousness Networks, Wendy Angel

SWITCH

In this article, the author utilizes a theoretical approach to discuss the complexity of digital networks and the necessary cognitive adaptations humans need to process the amount of information shared over them. Several propositions are discussed including fuzziness, conscious Ideation, knowledge networks, idea structures, and idea coercion. It is theorized that ideas make up our consciousness and provide a more open definition to the experiences that combine the cognitive process. However, the fuzziness of uncertainty also raises ideas of its essential factor in our conscious exploration and that fuzziness of knowledge does not make knowledge obsolete. This posits that there …


The Musicking Machine, Jody Berland Jan 2000

The Musicking Machine, Jody Berland

SWITCH

In this article, Jody Berland coins the term and defines the concept of modern music production obsolescing classically-trained musicians as the "Music(king) Machine." To support her claims, Berland refers to media theory scholar and philosopher, Marshall McLuhan, his son Eric, and their four laws that explore how one medium obsolesces another. Because these laws, posed as questions, are applicable to all artistic mediums, Berland utilizes this guide to expand upon the "Music(king) Machine". She breaks down that collaborators, audience, performance, ears, instruments, and skills are elements that are not necessarily needed in today’s music, unlike in the prior music production …

Analysis Of Infragravity Frequency Sediment Transport On Macrotidal Beaches, Andrew Nicholas Saulter Jan 2000

Analysis Of Infragravity Frequency Sediment Transport On Macrotidal Beaches, Andrew Nicholas Saulter

Other Faculty of Science and Engineering Theses

Many cross-shore sediment transport models use simple treatments of infragravity frequency (0.005- 0.05Hz) processes. For example, infragravity waves have been assumed to provide solely a 'drift velocity' for transport of sediment mobilised by incident frequency waves (0.05-0.5Hz) and be 100% reflected at the shoreline. Furthermore, numerous models calculate broken incident wave heights on the basis of water depth only. This work investigates both the processes underlying infragravity frequency variations in the crossshore velocity field, and the resulting effect of such variations on sediment suspension and transport. Data were selected from three beach experiments in order to compare observations from a …

The Thermal Properties Of Cob Buildings Of Devon, Steve Goodhew Jan 2000

The Thermal Properties Of Cob Buildings Of Devon, Steve Goodhew

Other Faculty of Science and Engineering Theses

Little has been published concerning the thermal properties of existing unbaked earth walls. In order to model the thermal behaviour of a building constructed using traditional cob walls, the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity need to be established. The Centre for Earthen Architecture (CEA), based at the University of Plymouth's School of Architecture has carried out research into various aspects of cob architecture typical to the Devon area. This study supplements other work concerning the moisture content, structure and pathology of cob as a building material. This research concentrates upon the development of a time dependent probe technique for the …


The Disappearing Frame.: A Practice-Based Investigation Into Composing Virtual Environment Artworks, Thomas James Patrick Corby Jan 2000

The Disappearing Frame.: A Practice-Based Investigation Into Composing Virtual Environment Artworks, Thomas James Patrick Corby

Other Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Business Theses

Through creative art making practice, research seeks to contribute a body of knowledge to an under researched area by examining how key concepts germane to computer based, interactive, three-dimensional, virtual environment artworks might be explicated, potential compositional issues characterised, and possible production strategies identified and/or proposed. Initial research summarises a range of classifications pertaining to the function of interactivity within virtual space, leading to an identification and analysis of a predominant model for composing virtual environment media, characterised as the "world as model": a methodological approach to devising interactive and spatial contexts employing visual and behavioural modes based on the …

Stochastic Stability Of The Continuous-Time Extended Kalman Filter, K. Reif, S. Gunther, Edwin E. Yaz, R. Unbehauen Jan 2000

Stochastic Stability Of The Continuous-Time Extended Kalman Filter, K. Reif, S. Gunther, Edwin E. Yaz, R. Unbehauen

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research and Publications

he error behaviour of the extended Kalman filter is analysed. It is proved that the estimation error remains bounded if the system satisfies a detectability condition and both the initial estimation error and the disturbing noise terms are small enough. Moreover, some selected cases with both bounded and unbounded estimation error are demonstrated by numerical simulations.


Scene-Based Nonuniformity Correction With Video Sequences And Registration, Russell C. Hardie, Majeed M. Hayat, Earnest Armstrong, Brian Yasuda Jan 2000

Scene-Based Nonuniformity Correction With Video Sequences And Registration, Russell C. Hardie, Majeed M. Hayat, Earnest Armstrong, Brian Yasuda

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research and Publications

We describe a new, to our knowledge, scene-based nonuniformity correction algorithm for array detectors. The algorithm relies on the ability to register a sequence of observed frames in the presence of the fixed-pattern noise caused by pixel-to-pixel nonuniformity. In low-to-moderate levels of nonuniformity, sufficiently accurate registration may be possible with standard scene-based registration techniques. If the registration is accurate, and motion exists between the frames, then groups of independent detectors can be identified that observe the same irradiance (or true scene value). These detector outputs are averaged to generate estimates of the true scene values. With these scene estimates, and …


Silver(I) Complexation Of (Poly)Aromatic Ligands. Structural Criteria For Depth Penetration Into Cis-Stilbenoid Cavities, Sergey V. Lindeman, Rajendra Rathore, Jay K. Kochi Jan 2000

Silver(I) Complexation Of (Poly)Aromatic Ligands. Structural Criteria For Depth Penetration Into Cis-Stilbenoid Cavities, Sergey V. Lindeman, Rajendra Rathore, Jay K. Kochi

Chemistry Faculty Research and Publications

Silver(I) complexes with aromatic donors are thoroughly analyzed (with aid of the Cambridge Crystallographic Database) to identify the basic structural factors inherent to the bonding of an arene ligand. Most strikingly, the distance parameter d (which simply measures the normal separation of Ag from the mean aromatic plane) is singularly invariant at d = 2.41 ± 0.05 Å for all silver/arene complexes, independent of the hapticity (η1 or η2), hybridization, or multiple coordination. As such, a systematic series of stilbenoid ligands has been successfully designed to precisely modulate the penetration of silver(I) into the ligand cleft, and …


Establishing The Research Foundations For Successful Client-Server Computing: What Naturalistic Studies Could Contribute, Patricia Y. Logan, Charles M. Lutz Jan 2000

Establishing The Research Foundations For Successful Client-Server Computing: What Naturalistic Studies Could Contribute, Patricia Y. Logan, Charles M. Lutz

The Qualitative Report

What is the nature of the process of implementing a new technology? How should the dynamics of implementing a new technology be studied? What research methods are best-suited to the study of complex issues of social and organizational impacts arising from the implementation of a new technology? Client-server computing represents a significant new technology that has not been a focus of research investigations. As companies pursue client-server technology as a replacement for legacy computing systems, there is a need to provide practitioners with grounded research that discover patterns of organizational and social dynamics that influence the successful outcome of a …


Mitochondrial-Dna Variation In Pallid And Shovelnose Sturgeons, Scaphirhynchus (Pisces: Acipenseridae), Richard Bischof, Allen L. Szalanski Jan 2000

Mitochondrial-Dna Variation In Pallid And Shovelnose Sturgeons, Scaphirhynchus (Pisces: Acipenseridae), Richard Bischof, Allen L. Szalanski

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

Sequencing analysis was used to characterize a mtDNA D-loop amplicon of 838 bp. Four pallid sturgeons, Scaphirhynchus albus, and four shovelnose sturgeons, S. platorynchus, from four states (Illinois, Louisiana, Montana, North Dakota) were used for this analysis. DNA sequencing of the nine fish revealed eleven polymorphic sites and six distinct haplotypes. No fixed nucleotide substitutions were observed between pallid and shovelnose sturgeons.
