Economic Systems Of Oecd Nations: Impact And Evolution, Frederic L. Pryor

Economics Faculty Works

This essay argues that economic systems should be defined in terms of clusters of complementary institutions. To show how such an approach can be carried out, I use a cluster analysis technique and data on forty different economic institutions in OECD nations to isolate four quite different economic systems. After specifying the most important institutional clusters in each system, I then examine what impact these economic systems have on various indicators of economic performance. Finally, I show how such an approach allows particular evolutionary patterns of the systems to be analyzed.

Data from an Affinity Mapping mapping project. Students entering the UCF Library were invited to help redesign the Libraries web site by constructing Affinity Maps. The participants worked in groups ranging in size from 1 to 4 students who may or may not have known each other before the project. Participating students were provided with magnets pre-printed with terms and categories from the Libraries web pages. Students were instructed to select the terms which they thought should be on the Libraries web site and to organize the selected terms on a magnetic white board. Markers and blank magnets for their …

Automated Motion Synthesis For Virtual Choreography, Gazihan Alankus, A. Alphan Bayazit, O. Burchan Bayazit

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

In this paper, we present a technique to automati-cally synthesize dancing moves for arbitrary songs. Our current implementation is for virtual characters, but it is easy to use the same algorithms for entertainer robots, such as robotic dancers, which fits very well to this year’s conference theme. Our technique is based on analyzing a musical tune (can be a song or melody) and synthesizing a motion for the virtual character where the character’s movement synchronizes to the musical beats. In order to analyze beats of the tune, we developed a fast and novel algorithm. Our motion synthesis algorithm analyze library …

Towards A Perception Based Image Editing System, Reynold Bailey, Raquel Bujans, Cindy Grimm

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

The primary goal of this research is to develop a perception based image editing system. The input to this system will be either a rendered image, a photograph, or a high dynamic range image. We are currently developing techniques that allow the user to edit these images in a perceptually intuitive manner. Specifically we are considering the following image editing features: (1) warm - cool image adjustment, (2) intensity adjustment, (3) contrast adjustment, and (4) detail adjustment. The algorithms we are developing can be used either in an interactive editing system or for automatic image adjustment.

Each Sensory Nerve Arising From The Geniculate Ganglion Expresses A Unique Fingerprint Of Neurotrophin Receptor Genes, Albert I. Farbman, Nick Guagliardo, Suzanne I. Sollars, David L. Hill

Psychology Faculty Publications

Neurons in the geniculate ganglion, like those in other sensory ganglia, are dependent on neurotrophins for survival. Most geniculate ganglion neurons innervate taste buds in two regions of the tongue and two regions of the palate; the rest are cutaneous nerves to the skin of the ear. We investigated the expression of four neurotrophins, nerve growth factor (NGF), brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin 3 (NT‐3), and NT‐4, and five neurotrophin receptors, trkA, trkB, trkC, p75, and truncated trkB (Trn‐B) in single sensory neurons of the adult rat geniculate ganglion associated with the five innervation fields. For fungiform papillae, a glass …

Free-Space Optical Communications With Partially Coherent Beams, Aristide Dogariu

UCF Patents

This disclosure relates to a laser communication system for transmitting intelligence by means of partially coherent optical energy. The system provides improved transmission of intelligence from a transmitter site through non-confined free space and receiving said intelligence at a receiver site remote from and physically separate from said transmitter by non-confined free space. The system has a optical source at the transmitter site for producing a beam of spatially-coherent monochromatic, aperture limited electromagnetic optical energy as well as a modulator for modulating said beam with intelligence-bearing information to develop wavefronts of mutually-aligned orientation which beam is thereafter modified to partial …

Decoupling Capacitor For Integrated Circuit Package And Electrical Components Using The Decoupling Capacitor And Associated Methods, Leonard W. Schaper

Patents Granted

A capacitive structure is made with thin film capacitor plates substantially surrounding an opening cavity for accommodating a chip. The capacitive structure includes at least one capacitor and is mounted around the periphery of a ball grid array “BGA” having a flip chip in the opening. The capacitive structure provides a high capacitance with a low parasitic inductance.

It is difficult for Web designers to step into users' shoes. Affinity Mapping provides insight into user ideas. On a publicly placed magnetic board, patrons clustered library concepts and tasks into meaningful groups. A digital camera recorded the results, which were analyzed and applied during the library's Web redesign. Students entering the UCF Library were invited to help redesign the Libraries web site by constructing Affinity Maps. The participants worked in groups ranging in size from 1 to 4 students who may or may not have known each other before the project.
