William H. Rodgers, Jr., And Environmental Law: Never Give Up, Keep On Going, John E. Bonine
William H. Rodgers, Jr., And Environmental Law: Never Give Up, Keep On Going, John E. Bonine
Washington Law Review
Despite his best efforts to give the riches of the symposium to others, Professor Rodgers could not completely deflect the attention and recognition that was being paid to his own work and example. He was required to sit and listen as words of praise fell everywhere around him. While experts were speaking, comments were also coming in by e-mail and on pieces of paper circulated during the lectures. Who was the subject of this talking circle? This essay attempts to paint a picture of Professor Rodgers's contributions to environmental law and the impact he has had on the lives of …

Alaska’S Rat Spill Response Program, Steven M. Ebbert, Arthur Sowls, G. Vernon Byrd
Managing Vertebrate Invasive Species
The introduction of rodents on an island as a new predator usually interferes with natural island biodiversity, particularly on islands without any native mammalian predators. Many Alaskan islands, and most islands in the Aleutian Island region of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge (AMNWR), are free of mammalian predators and are vulnerable to invasion by rodents. Rat introduction to islands can put ground-nesting birds, such as seabirds and endemic landbirds, at risk of extirpation. The refuge is also concerned about additional introductions of house mice. As far as we know, the introduction, or “spilling,” of rats onto refuge islands from …

Cost-Time Sensitive Decision Tree With Missing Values, Shichao Zhang, Xiaofeng Zhu, Jilian Zhang, Chengqi Zhang
Cost-Time Sensitive Decision Tree With Missing Values, Shichao Zhang, Xiaofeng Zhu, Jilian Zhang, Chengqi Zhang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Cost-sensitive decision tree learning is very important and popular in machine learning and data mining community. There are many literatures focusing on misclassification cost and test cost at present. In real world application, however, the issue of time-sensitive should be considered in cost-sensitive learning. In this paper, we regard the cost of time-sensitive in cost-sensitive learning as waiting cost (referred to WC), a novelty splitting criterion is proposed for constructing cost-time sensitive (denoted as CTS) decision tree for maximal decrease the intangible cost. And then, a hybrid test strategy that combines the sequential test with the batch test strategies is …
Do Horizontal Propulsive Forces Influence The Nonlinear Structure Of Locomotion?, Max J. Kurz, Nikolaos Stergiou
Do Horizontal Propulsive Forces Influence The Nonlinear Structure Of Locomotion?, Max J. Kurz, Nikolaos Stergiou
Journal Articles
Background: Several investigations have suggested that changes in the nonlinear gait dynamics are related to the neural control of locomotion. However, no investigations have provided insight on how neural control of the locomotive pattern may be directly reflected in changes in the nonlinear gait dynamics. Our simulations with a passive dynamic walking model predicted that toe-off impulses that assist the forward motion of the center of mass influence the nonlinear gait dynamics. Here we tested this prediction in humans as they walked on the treadmill while the forward progression of the center of mass was assisted by a custom built …

Effects Of Calcium Availability On The Reproductive Output Of Insectivorous Bats, Christina M. Booher
Effects Of Calcium Availability On The Reproductive Output Of Insectivorous Bats, Christina M. Booher
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Reproduction is a period of high calcium demand in vertebrates, and calcium deficiency can limit reproductive output in mammals. Insects are a poor calcium source, suggesting that insectivorous species are more likely to be calcium deficient. Pregnant big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus) consume 10 times less calcium than they are estimated to require. To accommodate calcium demand during pregnancy, many mammals mobilize more calcium from the skeleton, and extensive bone loss has been observed in some bats during pregnancy. A conflict may arise between the female and developing embryo over allocation of limited calcium supplies, which could limit reproductive output …
An Evolutionary Algorithm Approach To Simultaneous Multi-Mission Radar Waveform Design, Jason Enslin
An Evolutionary Algorithm Approach To Simultaneous Multi-Mission Radar Waveform Design, Jason Enslin
Theses
It would be beneficial with today’s cluttered electromagnetic spectrum to be able to perform multiple radar missions simultaneously from a single platform. The design of a waveform for this application would greatly benefit the radar community. Radar systems are used to perform many missions, some of which include the detection and tracking of airborne and ground moving targets as well as Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging. There are many systems that can operate in multiple modes to perform these missions, although there is no one radar that can simultaneously perform multiple missions using the same waveform [1]. Each mission can …
Applicability Of Clustering To Cyber Intrusion Detection, Gilbert Hendry
Applicability Of Clustering To Cyber Intrusion Detection, Gilbert Hendry
Theses
Maintaining cyber security is a complex task, utilizing many levels of network information along with an array of technology. Current practices for combating cyber attacks typically use Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) to passively detect and block multi-stage attacks. Because of the speed and force at which a new type of cyber attack can occur, automated detection and response is becoming an apparent necessity. Anomaly-based detection systems, such as statistical-based or clustering algorithms, attempt to address this by analyzing the relative differences in network and host activity. Signature-based IDS systems are typically more accurate for known attacks, but require time and …
Transformation In Teaching Practice Of Chinese Teachers Blending Western And Chinese Educational Approaches For Orphan Children In China: A Mixed Methods Study, Wen Zhao
College of Education and Human Sciences: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
The goal of this study is to investigate how a group of twenty teachers who work in an intervention program for institutionalized children in the Guangzhou Children Welfare Institution adapt Western educational concepts and approaches to transform their Chinese teaching practice. The intervention curriculum integrates the Italian Reggio Emilia approach and the American approach to teacher education with the practice that underlies Chinese national guidelines for early childhood education. This mixed methods design uses both qualitative and quantitative data to explore the adaptation process in order to study how their teaching beliefs and perceptions of teaching and learning are transformed …
On Backward Stochastic Evolution Equations In Hilbert Space And Optimal Control, Nazim I. Mahmudov, Mark A. Mckibben
On Backward Stochastic Evolution Equations In Hilbert Space And Optimal Control, Nazim I. Mahmudov, Mark A. Mckibben
Mathematics Faculty Publications
In this paper a new result on the existence and uniqueness of the adapted solution to a backward stochastic evolution equation in Hilbert spaces under non Lipschitz condition is established. The applicability of this result is then illustrated in a discussion of some concrete backward stochastic partial differential equation. Furthermore, stochastic maximum principle for optimal control problems of stochastic systems governed by backward stochastic evolution equations in Hilbert spaces is obtained.
The Influence Of Online Word Of Mouth On Product Sales In Retail E-Commerce: An Empirical Investigation, Alanah Davis, Deepak Khazanchi
The Influence Of Online Word Of Mouth On Product Sales In Retail E-Commerce: An Empirical Investigation, Alanah Davis, Deepak Khazanchi
Information Systems and Quantitative Analysis Faculty Proceedings & Presentations
The ability to exchange opinions and experiences online is known as online word of mouth (WOM). Due to the high acceptance of consumers and their apparent reliance on online WOM it is important for organizations to understand how it works and what kind of impact it has on product sales. Using the well-established notions of volume and valence to describe online WOM, we empirically evaluate the hypothesized relationship between online WOM in a retail e-commerce site and actual product sales. Our analysis of the data shows that there is a significant change in the number of products sold following the …

An Information Technology Therapy Approach To Micro-Enterprise Adoption Of Icts, Peter Wolcott, Sajda Qureshi, Mehruz Kamal
Information Systems and Quantitative Analysis Faculty Proceedings & Presentations
The advent of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) has opened up new opportunities for micro-enterprises to improve their businesses. However the challenges to using ICTs are impeding these businesses from growing into the drivers for development that they can be. This suggests that a potentially important driver of development needs to be supported. This paper investigates the adoption of ICTs in eight micro-enterprises in an underserved community of Omaha, Nebraska. Following an action research study, this research provides insight into the key challenges and opportunities facing micro-enterprises in their use of ICTs to create value for their businesses. Its contribution …

A Decision Support Model For Project Manager Assignments, Peerasit Patanakul, Dragan Milošević, Timothy R. Anderson
A Decision Support Model For Project Manager Assignments, Peerasit Patanakul, Dragan Milošević, Timothy R. Anderson
Engineering and Technology Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
The question, "How to assign projects to project managers?" is considered to be one of the most important questions in project management. Nevertheless, methods to answer this question have not yet been sufficiently addressed in the literature. In practice, even though the question is rather common, practitioners still seek an effective project assignment methodology - especially, for the assignments of project managers of multiple concurrent projects, such as a project manager of new product development projects in typical high-technology industries. To respond to this question, we performed an inductive study to develop a theoretical framework for project assignments, including some …

Direction Of Arrival Estimation Based On Support Vector Regression: Experimental Validation And Comparison With Music, Andrea Randazzo, Mohamed A. Abou-Khousa, Matteo Pastorino, R. Zoughi
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
In this letter, the problem of estimating the directions of arrival (DOAs) of coherent electromagnetic waves impinging upon a uniform linear array (ULA) is considered. In particular, an efficient DOA estimation approach based on the support vector regression is assessed using experimental measurements. Moreover, the obtained results are compared with those yielded by the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm.
Optimal Scheduling Of Generator Maintenance Using Modified Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization, Yusuf Yare, Ganesh K. Venayagamoorthy
Optimal Scheduling Of Generator Maintenance Using Modified Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization, Yusuf Yare, Ganesh K. Venayagamoorthy
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
This paper presents a modified discrete particle swarm optimization (PSO) based technique for generating optimal preventive maintenance schedule of generating units for economical and reliable operation of a power system while satisfying system load demand and crew constraints. While GA and other analytical methods might suffer from premature convergence and the curse of dimensionality, heuristics based swarm intelligence can be an efficient alternative. PSO is known to effectively solve large scale multi-objective optimization problems. Here, a modified discrete PSO approach is proposed for the GMS optimization problem in order to overcome the limitations of the conventional methods and come up …
Applications Of Diffusion Maps In Gene Expression Data-Based Cancer Diagnosis Analysis, Rui Xu, Donald C. Wunsch, Steven Damelin
Applications Of Diffusion Maps In Gene Expression Data-Based Cancer Diagnosis Analysis, Rui Xu, Donald C. Wunsch, Steven Damelin
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Early detection of a tumor's site of origin is particularly important for cancer diagnosis and treatment. The employment of gene expression profiles for different cancer types or subtypes has already shown significant advantages over traditional cancer classification methods. One of the major problems in cancer type recognition-oriented gene expression data analysis is the overwhelming number of measures of gene expression levels versus the small number of samples, which causes the curse of dimension issue. Here, we use diffusion maps, which interpret the eigenfunctions of Markov matrices as a system of coordinates on the original data set in order to obtain …
