Assimilation
Assimilation is a work sonically exploring the tendency to seek conformity at the expense of unique ideas and creativity. The piece is based on two rhythmic motives: a brief, flitting motive used as the basis for independent exploration of melody and the second, a heavier, steady pulse, the …

Dual Lives Assimilation Literacy
<p>In recent years, the field of literacy studies has not given enough attention to exploring the English literacy journeys of immigrants and in particular, Latin immigrants. Furthermore, there has been little dialogue that has encouraged plans to help fix this issue. </p> <p>We, in the academy, …

Essays on Intergenerational Cultural Assimilation
… of two studies on intergenerational cultural assimilation. The first chapter looks at the effect of preferences on assimilation in terms of residential outcomes. Parent's desire to transmit their culture to their children can lead them to reside with neighbors of the same ethnicity. Ethnic …

Exploring Knowledge Processes for Technology Assimilation
… such knowledge processes for technology assimilation is that current social structures do not easily accommodate unconditional participation. Since the implementation of modern information technology is changing the workplace and the nature of work itself, alternative social structures …

Progressive place assimilation in optimality theory
… inquiry over this typology is how direction of assimilation is formally represented. This work argues that simple phonological mechanisms explain the cross-linguistic effects including an agreement constraint and conflicting faithfulness constraints.</p>

Data Assimilation and Applications in Forecasting
… spans two projects which are connected by data assimilationand specifically the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF). The first explores how spatial localization, an important method commonly used in the EnKF, can be extended to multiscale problems. Rather than using a single length scale when …

Modeling volcanic unrest by data assimilation
… based on the synthetic data, I optimize a data assimilation technique, Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF), to improve its performance in forecasting volcanic unrests with multiple geodetic observations. Then, the robustness of the EnKF is confirmed in application to the unrest and 2009 eruption of …

Basques in Stockton : a study of assimilation
… phases. The first deals with an explanation of assimilation, historical background and other facts about the Basque people. The second section covers actual facts found in the survey made of the Basques in Stockton. The conclusion presents a brief summary of these findings. It will attempt to …

Marine ecosystem model analysis using data assimilation
Numerical modelling of the marine ecosystem requires the aggregation of diverse chemical and biological species into broad categories. To avoid large bias errors it is preferable to resolve as many explicit state variables and processes as possible. The cost of this increased complexity is greater …

Variational data assimilation for two interface problems
<p>“Variational data assimilation (VDA) is a process that uses optimization techniques to determine an initial condition of a dynamical system such that its evolution best fits the observed data. In this dissertation, we develop and analyze the variational data assimilation method with finite …

Understanding Agile Software Development Assimilation Beyond Acceptance
Agile software development methods represent a departure from the heavily regimented and document-driven procedures of traditional, waterfall approaches. Despite the highly touted benefits of employing agile ISD methods and the growth of agile adoption rates over the past two decades, it is not …

Assimilation of Korean-Americans in Vancouver, Washington
<p>This paper is a study in the assimilation of Korean-Americans in Vancouver, Washington. The objectives of the study are to: 1. Evaluate the applicability of the concept of the "melting pot"; 2. Locate the factors that affect this process; and 3. Measure the degree of assimilation in orientation …

Assimilation and Contrast Effects in Sequential Judgments
… Mussweiler, 2003a), a similarity focus made assimilation effects more likely whereas a dissimilarity focus made contrast effects more likely. Over all three studies, assimilative influences were stronger than contrastive influences. This is in line with the SAM that describes assimilation …

Assimilation in classical Arabic: a phonological study
This thesis deals with the phenomenon of assimilation, a natural phonological process, in classical Arabic. It consists of three chapters: The first chapter of the thesis deals with the Arabic sounds in isolation: their points of articulation and manners of articulation with reference to the views …

Ammonia assimilation by Ruminococcus flavefaciens FD-1
Studies were conducted to better understand the mechanism by which Ruminococcus flavefaciens FD-1 utilizes ammonia (-um). $\sp{14}$C-methyl-ammonium was not taken up by R. flavefaciens FD-1, but cells prepared similarly depleted ammonia from media (initial rates of 11.2 and 0.8 …

Oil reservoir characterization using ensemble data assimilation
… The proposed algorithm uses an ensemble data assimilation approach to provide stochastic characterization of reservoir attributes by conditioning individual prior ensemble members on dynamic production observations at wells. The conditioning is based on the second-order Kalman filter analysis …
