Teaching Graphing Using Enhanced Written Instructions: Does Chunk Size Matter
… accuracy and duration to graph completion of chunked presentations of EWI, and evaluated preference for the two different chunked presentations, using a nonconcurrent multiple baseline design across five students with various degrees of graphing history. Both chunked presentations were found …

Aspects of Cyclic Sedimentation in the Upper Mississippian, Mauch Chunk Group, southern West Virginia and southwest Virginia
Late Mississippian, Mauch Chunk Group strata constitute a westward-thinning clastic wedge of strata up to 1000m thick that developed in the Central Appalachian Basin over a ~ 7 million year time interval. Included within the Mauch Chunk Group are multiple incised-valley fills and a distinctive …

An efficient data deduplication design with flash-memory based solid state drive.
… throughput with a minimum RAM overhead per chunk. To achieve the first objective, this dissertation proposes a novel chunking algorithm that breaks the input dataset into chunks, with a higher redundancy or with larger sizes, so as to identify the more duplicated data without producing …

Computing with Chunks
… for a new generic machine abstraction, the Chunk Model, that explicitly exposes program and machine structure, making it easier to program modern computing substrates. In the Chunk Model, fixed-sized chunks replace the flat virtual memories of traditional computing models. Chunks may link to …

A Shared Memory System for Fresh Breeze
… which all the fresh breeze processors access chunks of memory. The SMS supports the operations of: obtaining unique identifiers for new chunks; storing a chunk; accessing a chunk using its unique identifier; and incrementing or decrementing the reference count of a chunk. The SMS utilizes two …

Scalable and flexible bulk architecture
… part of the thesis focuses on enforcing SC by chunk-based execution. I propose techniques to remove the scalability bottlenecks of chunk-based architectures. Also, I propose the design of an SMT processor to support chunk operations among the contexts in the same processor. The second part of …

High Schoolers' Approaches to Learning Melodies by Ear
… constructs from the literature: (a) learning chunk length; (b) learning chunk order; and (c) synchronous versus turn-taking. Descriptive results showed that participants preferred to learn melodies in one-, two-, four-, or eight-measure chunks, and that their use of time learning either in a …

Credit card fraud detection using incremental feature learning
… in hand for training a model. We have proposed a chunk-based credit card fraud detection model which is based on incremental feature learning and transfer learning. Our proposed approach gives our model the capability to adjust its topology to find the near-optimal solution for the problem at …

Distributed Support Vector Machine With Graphics Processing Units
… distributed manner (by breaking the dataset into chunks, then using Message Passing Interface (MPI) to distribute each chunk to a different machine and processing SVM training within each chunk). In addition, we moved the kernel calculation part in SVM classification to a graphics processing unit …

Security Analysis and Framework of Cloud Computing with Parity-Based Partially Distributed File System
… a new file storage system with variable size chunks, distributed chunk addressing, decentralized file allocation tables, spread deciphering key, randomly selected file servers, and fault tolerant chunk system.

Language Designs for Geometry and Heterogeneous Reasoning in Graphics Programming
… heterogeneous device communication. In the first chunk of this dissertation, we will examine Gator, a language which provides type-level reasoning for a class of bugs we describe as "geometry bugs", as well as a lightweight mechanism to reason about operations on geometry. In the second chunk of …

Terrain Impostors
… by splitting the terrain into contiguous chunks. If a given chunk is far enough away from the camera and its viewing angle will not change quickly, it is rendered into an image buffer. This buffer is then used to texture map a simplified version of the terrain mesh. The simplified and …

Modeling the structure of collective intelligence
… an individual navigates from one random memory chunk to another related memory chunk, and how a group of people randomly remind one another of memory chunks that could be individually uncommon. As an application of influence modeling, this thesis shows how groups play "20-questions" games based …

The Contribution of Semantic Structure to Retrieval From Episodic Memory.
… of words or numbers. He suggested that people "chunk" small bits of information into larger sets which bear some internal order or whose members share common characteristics, and in so doing implicitly increase their ability to recall large amounts of the designated information.

Generating Paraphrases with Greater Variation Using Syntactic Phrases
… system (Paraphrasing by MT) identifies syntactic chunks in paraphrase sentences and substitutes labels for those chunks. This enables the system to generalize movements that are more syntactically plausible, as syntactic chunks generally capture sets of words that can change order in the sentence …

Laff-O-Tron: Laugh Prediction in TED Talks
… supervised learning, we try to classify if a chunk of text would cause the audience to laugh or not based on these features. We examine the effects of each feature, classifier, and size of the text chunk provided. On a balanced data set, we are able to accurately predict laughter with up to …

Near-data scheduling for data centers with multiple levels of data locality
… times which are not of interest. The data chunk needed for any map task can be in memory, on a local disk, in a local rack, in the same cluster or even in another data center. Hence, unless there has been much work on improving the speed of data center networks, different levels of service …

Effects of packaging and soy protein isolate antioxidant on lipid oxidation of ground beef
Ground beef chunk (15% fat) was packaged (500 g) in vacuum bags, Saran Wrap$\sp{\rm TM}$ overwrapped with aluminum foil or polyvinyl chloride (PVC), exposed to retail display light (4$\sp\circ$C) for 24 h and then held frozen ($-$18$\sp\circ$C) for 52 weeks. Instrumental and visual color of …

QuOTE: Question-Oriented Text Embeddings
… pipelines, which rely on embed- ding raw text chunks, QuOTE augments chunks with hypothetical questions that the chunk can potentially answer, enriching the representation space. This better aligns document embeddings with user query semantics, and helps address issues such as ambiguity and …

Toward sustainable networking : coded storage and high-traffic networks
… The coded storage schemes we propose code across chunks as they are commonly laid out on drives today, and are generally application-agnostic. Coding structures are not optimized (with the exception of Chapter 5). " In addition, in Chapter 5, we explore coded storage structures that are …
