Analysis Of Near-Infrared Phase Effects On Biometric Iris Data, Brady Roos Stevenson
Analysis Of Near-Infrared Phase Effects On Biometric Iris Data, Brady Roos Stevenson
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this research is to ascertain potential iris scan data variations from near infrared waves derived from fluorescent illumination. Prior studies of iris data variances from infrared wave interference of halogen, incandescent, and sunlight with iris cameras suggest that similar changes may exist under near infrared wavelengths from fluorescent light. The concern is that the fluorescent energy emission may interfere with the near infrared detection of an iris camera. An iris camera is used to measure human eye characteristics known as biometrics. If such infrared emission is statistically significant, then it can alter the validity of the iris …
A Genetic Algorithm For The Longest Common Subsequence Problem, Brenda Hinkemeyer
A Genetic Algorithm For The Longest Common Subsequence Problem, Brenda Hinkemeyer
Culminating Projects in Computer Science and Information Technology
The Longest Common Subsequence problem (LCS) is a known NP-complete problem that computes the longest subsequence (series of characters occurring in the same order, although not necessarily consecutively) that any number of strings share. An LCS is not necessarily unique for any combination of strings; however, the length will be. The computationally difficult version of this problem occurs when the number of strings and the LCS length are not fixed. The problem has a number of applications: anything from searching content to file difference listings. There is no single solution that fits all situations, and the deterministic solutions available are …
Correlating Factors Between Student Participation And Student Learning Via A Service Learning Project In Secondary Education: A Case Study, Shawn V. Jensen
Correlating Factors Between Student Participation And Student Learning Via A Service Learning Project In Secondary Education: A Case Study, Shawn V. Jensen
Theses and Dissertations
In this study a service-learning project was conducted with secondary students in a construction technology based course. Three research questions were considered; (1) does service learning projects help to engage student participation, (2) can students learn the course curriculum while participating in a service learning project, and (3) is there a correlation between student participation and student learning as it pertains to service learning projects? The data was collected through surveys, observations, interviews, and evaluations. The researcher concluded the following from the study; 92% of the students were actively participating in the two week service project, 76% of the students …
