Subject Formation In Hong Kong’S “Alternative Communities”, 2010-2020, Chor See Chan

Lingnan Theses (MPhil & PhD)

This research explores the history and development of the concept “community” in Hong Kong from the late colonial period to date, aiming to show the complex understanding of this ambiguous term. Responding to the (colonial) government’s invention of community as a means of control, there have been different types of bottom-up intervention that have sought to re-define the meaning of that concept. My research focuses on one of these attempts that emerged in the 2010s during the new social movements in Hong Kong. This attempt has been to create what I call “alternative communities”, in which members intentionally build communities …

Bug Management Using Machine Learning, Megha Jindal, Richa Gupta, Subham Mishra, Carlos Arguelles, Babu Prasad Elumalai

Defensive Publications Series

Automated tests of software can often independently log different bugs for the same underlying problem (root cause). Manually identifying duplicate bugs is a source of toil for engineers. A related problem of bug management is that of bug routing, e.g., determining the right team or person to route a bug report to for the purposes of debugging. This disclosure describes techniques for bug deduplication and bug routing based on machine learning (ML). Per the techniques, a binary machine classification model is trained to aggregate bugs with a common root cause. Bugs in a class of bugs with a common root …

Integrating Bug Deduplication In Software Development And Testing, Carlos Arguelles, Megha Jindal, Babu Prasad Elumalai, Subham Mishra, Richa Gupta

Defensive Publications Series

A bug deduplicator identifies independently discovered bugs that have the same underlying cause. Deduplication of bugs reduces toil for the software team by reducing the number of bugs that developers need to examine. However, if a bug deduplicator incorrectly classifies a bug as a duplicate, human developers might ignore the bug, allowing it to escape to production. A tradeoff exists between toil reduction and risk tolerance. This disclosure describes techniques that enable a software team to trade off the effort to remove bugs (e.g., auto-close bugs so that humans save toil and time) against the risk of errors in a …

Speech And Sentiment Analysis To Provide Spoken Language Feedback To Second-Language Learners And Speech Therapy Patients, Chris Pearce, Lasonia Packenham, Tracy Caivano, Estefania Fernandez Alvarez, Sampada Khandekar

Defensive Publications Series

Language instruction and speech therapy are challenging endeavors. The different challenges that are associated with such endeavors have been exacerbated by the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), where, for example, language instruction and speech therapy are increasingly taking place through teleconferences. To address the types of challenges that were described above, techniques are presented herein that encompass the combination of a phonetic understanding of a speaker's utterance (as understood by, for example, a speech transcription engine coupled with knowledge of a speaker's native language) with a sentiment analysis of a native and/or non-native speaker (obtained by, for example, performing …

Back to the Future! Library History as Forecast: Discovering Core Concepts of Librarianship in the Public Library’s Past

UNESCO and IFLA have a longstanding history in influencing librarianship from an international perspective: their joint ‘Public Library Manifesto’ (1994) describes “well-informed citizens”, with the ability to “exercise their democratic rights and to play an active role in society” as “depend[ing] on … free and unlimited access to knowledge, thought, culture and information” (UNESCO/IFLA, 1994). Without such savvy citizenry, the manifesto suggests, “[f]reedom, prosperity and the development of society” as fundamental human values may come to be in flux. Positioning the public …

Effect Of Physical Factors On Separation Efficiency Of Gas From Oil Case Study In Alif Oil Field (Block 18), Sleem Qadri Mohammed Saleh

Hadhramout University Journal of Natural & Applied Sciences

Oil produced from oil well often has large amounts of dissolved natural gas, which has not been released from oil despite at lower pressure than saturation pressure. Therefore, it is necessary to separate these quantities of natural gas from oil and access to oil to the state of stability, taking advantage of natural gas separated from oil economically.The design of different types of technological separators depends on many factors affecting on the efficiency of their work. The most important of factors are the pressure, temperature and geometric dimensions of the separator.In this research, a large amount of field data (from …

Preservation Of Urban Fabric: Towards Sustainable Development Of Tarim City In Hadhramout Valley, Yemen, Anwer Ahmed Baeissa

Hadhramout University Journal of Natural & Applied Sciences

The Old Hadhrami Cities such as Tarim are famous for many luxurious palaces whose buildings integrated both the Hadhrami architectural original style and the Asian one. Thus the use of local construction materials in the city's luxurious palaces made of mud clearly indicates the concept of active participation of the inhabitants in determining the quality of the architectural heritage which emerged from their social and cultural traditions and customs. This special use of local construction materials in buildings gives the city a distinguished position among other cities in the region. The present study aims at highlighting mainly the source of …

Tailoring Plasmon Excitations In Alpha − T 3 Armchair Nanoribbons, Andrii Iurov, Liubov Zhemchuzhna, Godfrey Gumbs, Danhong Huang, Paula Fekete, Farhana Anwar, Dipendra Dahal, Nicholas Weekes

Publications and Research

We have calculated and investigated the electronic states, dynamical polarization function and the plasmon excitations for α − T ₃ nanoribbons with armchair-edge termination. The obtained plasmon dispersions are found to depend significantly on the number of atomic rows across the ribbon and the energy gap which is also determined by the nanoribbon geometry. The bandgap appears to have the strongest effect on both the plasmon dispersions and their Landau damping. We have determined the conditions when relative hopping parameter α of an α − T ₃ lattice has a strong effect on the plasmons which makes our material distinguished …

Prescribers' Satisfaction With Delivering Medications For Opioid Use Disorder, Hannah K. Knudsen, Randy Brown, Nora Jacobson, Julie Horst, Jee-Seon Kim, Hanna Kim, Lynn M. Madden, Eric Haram, Todd Molfenter

Behavioral Science Faculty Publications

BACKGROUND: Expanding access to medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), such as buprenorphine and extended release (XR) naltrexone, is critical to addressing the US opioid epidemic, but little is known about prescriber satisfaction with delivering these two types of MOUD. The current study describes the satisfaction of prescribers delivering buprenorphine and XR-naltrexone while examining whether satisfaction is associated with current patient census and organizational environment.

METHODS: As part of a cluster randomized clinical trial (RCT) focused on expanding access to medication for opioid use disorder, 41 MOUD prescribers in Florida, Ohio, and Wisconsin completed a web-based survey. The survey included …

Parameter Estimation And Application Of Anisotropic Yield Criteria For Cylindrical Aluminum Extrusions: Theoretical Developments And Stereodic Measurements, Farzana Yasmeen, Michael A. Sutton, Xiaomin Deng, Megan Ryan, Anthony P. Reynolds

Faculty Publications

Theoretical and experimental studies are presented to characterize the anisotropic plastic response under torsion loading of two nominally identical aluminum Al6061-T6 extruded round bars. Theoretical models are developed using isotropic (Von Mises 1913) and anisotropic (Barlat 1991) yield criteria, along with isotropic strain hardening formulae, to model post-yield behavior under simple torsion loading. For the case of simple shear loading, incremental plasticity theory is used to determine the theoretical elastic, plastic, and total shear strains. A set of experiments are performed to calibrate Barlat’s 1991 yield function. Several specimens are extracted at different orientations to the longitudinal direction of each …

Constructing Frameworks For Task-Optimized Visualizations, Ghulam Jilani Abdul Rahim Quadri

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Visualization is crucial in today’s data-driven world to augment and enhance human understanding and decision-making. Effective visualizations must support accuracy in visual task performance and expressive data communication. Effective visualization design depends on the visual channels used, chart types, or visual tasks. However, design choices and visual judgment are co-related, and effectiveness is not one-dimensional, leading to a significant need to understand the intersection of these factors to create optimized visualizations. Hence, constructing frameworks that consider both design decisions and the task being performed enables optimizing visualization design to maximize efficacy. This dissertation describes experiments, techniques, and user studies to …
