Physics of Self-assembly in Complex Matter
… is based on my graduate research studying complex matter in multiple areas of biological physics. While the complex matter systems in each area differ vastly in scale and function, I use similar computational approaches on each to answer scientific queries about their structure and …

Literacy and education in Chile : 1940-1970 cohorts
The evolution of human capital has always been a complex matter of study since it lacks of an absolute definition and also because of the limited data available, more so in developing countries. Nevertheless, literacy is one of its determinants that has a relatively better historic measurement due …

Storytelling failure in the Vale of Leven: How a bacterial outbreak became a wicked problem
… wicked problem and, thus, a much larger and more complex matter of concern. In doing so, the study uses the Vale of Leven inquiry to reimagine the boundaries of rhetoric and technical communication as not only a form of problem solving work but also as the articulation of wicked matters of …

An assessment of Botswana teacher in-service
… implementation of policy, however, is always a complex matter. The purpose behind this research study was to investigate how the policy on in-service was understood and represented by trainers in the field of practice. This study arises from the fact that policy analysis is an area that has been …

Building a question answering system for the introduction to statistics course using supervised learning techniques
… which cover a wide range of subjects is a complex matter. Closed-domain QA is, on the other hand, more achievable as the context for asking questions is restricted and allows for more accurate interpretation. This dissertation explores how a QA system could be built for the Introduction to …
