A Model That Combines IRT and Latent Class Models
A measurement model called Hybrid model is developed to overcome the weaknesses of the widely used Item Response Theory (IRT) and Latent Class models by combining them both. The weakness of IRT is that it is unable to express cognitive structure whether that is rule of operations or particular …

An Analytical Model Which Combines Roughness- and Plasticity- Induced Fatigue Crack Closure
"The fatigue notch size effect was investigated using the PICC-RICC model. The initial crack length (a$\rm\sb{i})$ for propagation was estimated. The predicted notch fatigue strength compared favorably with the Initiation-Propagation (I-P) Model prediction and test data. The existence of a ""worst …

How one art educator combines the strengths from two educational systems, Chinese and Canadian, to develop a teaching philosophy
… this studio-based thesis, "How One Art Educator Combines the Strengths from Two Educational Systems, Chinese and Canadian, To Develop A Teaching Philosophy," combines several aspects of the author's studio practices and with her learning experiences as a Chinese student in Canadian fine arts …

Control strategies for exothermic batch and fed-batch processes A sub-optimal strategy is developed which combines fast response with a chosen control signal safety margin. Design procedures are described and results compared with conventional control.
There is a considerable scope for improving the temperature control of exothermic processes. In this thesis, a sub-optimal control strategy is developed through utilizing the dynamic, simulation tool. This scheme is built around easily obtained knowledge of the system and still retains flexibility. …

Inferring interactions, expression programs and regulatory networks from high throughput biological data
… level I present an algorithm that efficiently combines complementary large-scale expression and protein-DNA binding data to discover co-regulated modules of genes. This algorithm is extended so that it can infer sub-networks for specific systems in the cell. Finally, I present an algorithm …

Kant's Metaphysical Deduction and the Intellectual Origin of the Categories
… are reflective activities through which the mind combines representations according to certain rules. For example, the ground-consequence function, through which the mind combines representations by treating some as grounded on others, is exercised both when the mind combines conceptual …

Experience, neuroanatomical plasticity and expression of the immediate early gene ZENK in the visual cortex of weanling rats
This investigation combines anatomical and molecular approaches to determine if expression of a specific regulatory transcription factor correlates with morphological plasticity, using a model of experience-dependent plasticity.
