Sparse Coding And Compressed Sensing: Locally Competitive Algorithms And Random Projections, William E. Hahn Jan 2016

Sparse Coding And Compressed Sensing: Locally Competitive Algorithms And Random Projections, William E. Hahn

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

For an 8-bit grayscale image patch of size n x n, the number of distinguishable signals is 256(n2). Natural images (e.g.,photographs of a natural scene) comprise a very small subset of these possible signals. Traditional image and video processing relies on band-limited or low-pass signal models. In contrast, we will explore the observation that most signals of interest are sparse, i.e. in a particular basis most of the expansion coefficients will be zero. Recent developments in sparse modeling and L1 optimization have allowed for extraordinary applications such as the single pixel camera, as well as computer vision systems that can …

Trauma And Telling: Examining The Intergenerational Transmission Of Trauma Through Silence, Jennifer Murray Jan 2016

Trauma And Telling: Examining The Intergenerational Transmission Of Trauma Through Silence, Jennifer Murray

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

In recent decades there has been a great deal of scholarly and scientific work examining both the impact and the transmission of trauma. The focus of this thesis is the transmission of the trauma of genocide and large-scale historical traumas, specifically that seen in the Holocaust and the missionization of the California Indians in the 18th century. Through the analysis of the autobiographical narratives composed by three generations of Holocaust survivors, as well as one composed by a later generation descendant of the California Mission Indians, I argue that silence is not only a manifestation of trauma but also a …

Traveling Waves Of Dominance In Motion-Induced Blindness, Dustin Cox Jan 2016

Traveling Waves Of Dominance In Motion-Induced Blindness, Dustin Cox

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

In the present study, it was examined whether the spatiotemporal dynamics of transitions towards target dominance in motion-induced blindness (MIB) were wave-like, similar to those in binocular rivalry. The spatiotemporal dynamics of transitions towards dominance in MIB were further compared with those in binocular rivalry to reveal a potential neural locus of MIB. Across a series of experiments, the relationship between target length, stimulus structure, presentation location and the latency for circular arc segment-shaped targets to reappear was examined, respectively. It was found that target reappearance durations increase with target length, as if they reappear in a gradual, wavelike fashion. …

Verb Memory And Text Comprehension, Lamiya Khan Jan 2016

Verb Memory And Text Comprehension, Lamiya Khan

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

Kersten, Earles, and Berger (2015) reported a distinction between two kinds of motion representations. Extrinsic motions involve the path of a person or object, with respect to an external frame of reference. Intrinsic motions involve the manner in which the various parts of a person or object move. They found that intrinsic motions are encoded and remembered with the corresponding actor performing the motions in a unitized memory representation. Extrinsic motions are encoded as separate memory representations, making them more difficult to accurately associate with the correct actor. In the proposed experiment, I will examine the generality of this distinction …

Women’S Plasticity During Childhood And Their Influence On Rape-Avoidance Behaviors, Sammy Penaloza Jan 2016

Women’S Plasticity During Childhood And Their Influence On Rape-Avoidance Behaviors, Sammy Penaloza

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

Evolutionary theory predicts that sexual coercion and rape are likely to occur in any species in which males are more aggressive, more eager to mate, more sexually assertive, and less discriminating in choosing a mate (Thornhill & Palmer, 2000). McKibbin and Shackelford (2011) state that males of many species have evolved strategies to sexually coerce and rape females. It is for this reason that researchers have speculated that several female traits or behaviors evolved to reduce the risks of being raped (McKibbin & Shackelford, 2011). The rationale behind the proposed experiment examined whether parents’ childrearing practices and women’s plasticity during …

Creating A Religious Divide: Journeys Through Hell In British And American Science Fiction, Advitiya Sachdev Jan 2016

Creating A Religious Divide: Journeys Through Hell In British And American Science Fiction, Advitiya Sachdev

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

Science fiction, like any other genre, is sub-divided into categories. Yet scholars in the field have long debated the existence of multiple, regional sf genres. The most critiqued of these classifications is between sf produced in Britain, and America. Though Britain remains the birthplace of sf, American author have undoubtedly left a mark on the genre. Scholars mark this difference in the writing styles and themes of authors in these regions. To examine this difference, I analyze two authors that have worked on a common theme: religion and in particular, the concept of hell. Evaluating the arguments put forth by …

Context-Based Image Concept Detection And Annotation, Esfandiar Zolghadr Jan 2016

Context-Based Image Concept Detection And Annotation, Esfandiar Zolghadr

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

Scene understanding attempts to produce a textual description of visible and latent concepts in an image to describe the real meaning of the scene. Concepts are either objects, events or relations depicted in an image. To recognize concepts, the decision of object detection algorithm must be further enhanced from visual similarity to semantical compatibility. Semantically relevant concepts convey the most consistent meaning of the scene. Object detectors analyze visual properties (e.g., pixel intensities, texture, color gradient) of sub-regions of an image to identify objects. The initially assigned objects names must be further examined to ensure they are compatible with each …

Daily Feedback Of Self-Concept Clarity And Grit, Alexander E. Wong Jan 2016

Daily Feedback Of Self-Concept Clarity And Grit, Alexander E. Wong

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

Self-concept clarity and grit are important constructs in the self-concept and selfregulation domains. Though distinct in their focus on identity and goal processes, self-concept clarity and grit similarly emphasize the extent to which self-views and goal-perseverance are strong, clear, consistent, and unshakeable. We hypothesized self-knowledge and goalperseverance may be mutually reinforcing given the role of self-knowledge in directing goal pursuit, and of goal pursuit in structuring the self-concept. The present study tested this hypothesis in the form of whether self-concept clarity and grit reciprocally influence one other across time, and was conducted using a daily diary design with 97 college-aged …

Demonstration Motivation Encourages Aggressive Reactions To Peer Rejection And Victimization, Christopher D. Aults Jan 2016

Demonstration Motivation Encourages Aggressive Reactions To Peer Rejection And Victimization, Christopher D. Aults

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

Some, but not all, children who experience rejection or victimization by peers develop aggressive habits in response. This dissertation study tested the hypothesis that children who possess demonstration self-guides—cognitive structures that motivate a child to display behaviors and attributes that bring attention, admiration, or subservience from peers—are particularly at risk for such aggressive reactions. Children with such self-guides, it is suggested, experience adverse treatment by peers as particularly frustrating, humiliating, and shameful, and these reactions increase the children’s threshold for exhibiting aggression during peer interactions. Participants were 195 children in the fourth through seventh grades of a school serving an …

Culturally Tailoring A Substance Use Intervention Among Southeastern Urban American Indian And Alaska Native Youth, Rose M. Wimbish-Cirilo Jan 2016

Culturally Tailoring A Substance Use Intervention Among Southeastern Urban American Indian And Alaska Native Youth, Rose M. Wimbish-Cirilo

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

In the United States, post European-colonial influence and exposure to substances such as alcohol historically mark the beginning of substance use exposure and involvement among all American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people. Research findings indicate there are strong interrelationships between the origin and prevalence of substance use and U.S.-European colonization, historical trauma, forced assimilation, cultural losses, and relocation among urban AI/AN people (Burt, 1986; Clinton, Chadwick, & Bahr, 1975; Yuan et al., 2010). In an historical sense, the unsuccessful attempts of relocating AI/AN people to urban areas place the future generations of urban AI/AN youth at risk for substance …

Determining The Effectiveness Of Human Interaction In Human-In-The-Loop Systems By Using Mental States, Eric Lloyd Jan 2016

Determining The Effectiveness Of Human Interaction In Human-In-The-Loop Systems By Using Mental States, Eric Lloyd

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

A self-adaptive software is developed to predict the stock market. It’s Stock Prediction Engine functions autonomously when its skill-set suffices to achieve its goal, and it includes human-in-the-loop when it recognizes conditions benefiting from more complex, expert human intervention. Key to the system is a module that decides of human participation. It works by monitoring three mental states unobtrusively and in real time with Electroencephalography (EEG). The mental states are drawn from the Opportunity-Willingness-Capability (OWC) model. This research demonstrates that the three mental states are predictive of whether the Human Computer Interaction System functions better autonomously (human with low scores …

Early Childhood Preservice Teachers’ Knowledge Of Children’Scognitive Development And Developmentally Appropriatepedagogical Practices: Understanding The Role Of Clinicalexperiences, Courtney Beers

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

The quality of early caregiving and educational environments has a significant effect on children’s later cognitive outcomes. Early childhood teachers are an important determining factor in the quality of these environments. Due to inconsistencies in practice across the early childhood field, there is a call for better prepared teachers. Teacher preparation itself is criticized for its lack of innovative and effective practices. While research finds that more effective teacher preparation programs are those that are steeped in clinical practice, these types of experiences are inconsistent and fragmented in the early childhood field. Part of the issue is the lack of …
