Corrections for Sample Selection Bias
… of assumptions in this Monte Carlo study. Corrections derived by Pearson (1903) for cases of explicit and incidental selection are found to be sensitive to variations in (1) the linearity of the regression of a criterion variable on the explicit selection variable, (2) the homoscedasticity …

Radiative Corrections to Low Energy Theorems
… way, the soft virtual photon radiative corrections to an arbitrary hadronic process. It is shown that all the results concerning infrared divergences obtained within the theory of quantum electrodynamics of the electron-photon system are, in fact, exact in strong interactions. The …

Corrections to the Debye-Hückel Theory
… case of asymmetric solutes. Some mathematical corrections are made to the Fuoss-Onsager theory, so that results for symmetric solutes are obtained which differ from those of Fuoss and Onsager.</p>

Relativistic corrections to weak lensing convergence
A fundamental issue in modern science is the dark energy problem - the apparent accelerating expansion of the universe. Many cosmological observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) and weak lensing have been carried out to try to understand the nature …

A Bayesian classification framework with label corrections
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The use of unlabeled data is very important for regression and classification analysis in many cases. However, the data may have an extra layer of complexity with some wrongly labelled data points. The traditional …

Elderly Offenders: An American Corrections Catch-22?
… will ultimately need to be addressed by state corrections departments and legislatures. As general prison populations continue to age, the type and extent of inmate health care needs will change. This thesis examines the experiences of the elderly offender in the prison environment. …

Rigid space frame analysis using successive corrections
Ever since the advent of the Moment-Distribution procedure (1) for analyzing continuous frames, it has been possible to solve many problems conveniently which previously had required laborious solutions. Indeed, the current literature of the engineering profession finds the Cross method being …

From Rehabilitation to Punishment: American Corrections after 1945
The incarceration rate in the United States has increased dramatically in the period since 1945. How did the United States move from having stable incarceration rates in line with global norms to the largest system of incarceration in the world? This study examines the political and intellectual …

Temperature anisotropies: covariant CMB anisotropies and nonlinear corrections
The questions I ask myself are generally all along the lines of "so where did all this structure come from?". I hoped that work in the CMB and its cosmological implications would give me insight into this. It is an adventure that is still young. I began my PhD with an investigation of some formal …

Born-Oppenheimer Corrections Near a Renner-Teller Crossing
We perform a rigorous mathematical analysis of the bending modes of a linear triatomic molecule that exhibits the Renner-Teller effect. Assuming the potentials are smooth, we prove that the wave functions and energy levels have asymptotic expansions in powers of ε, where ε4 is the ratio of an …

Care, Coloniality, and Indigeneity in Saskatchewan’s Carceral-Corrections Industry
… carceral-correctional institutions – a carceral-corrections industry – that has historically operated to facilitate settler-colonial expansion through sequestering Indigenous people and subjecting them to techniques and technologies geared toward reformation (aka “correction”). Drawing on …

Staff Turnover in Juvenile Corrections: Predicting Intentions to Leave
… on employee turnover, not just for juvenile corrections but also studies in the larger body of employee turnover in that this study made it clear that one model does not fit all workers. The concept, commitment to youth, applies only to employees who work with youths. And, the particular way …

Flow resistance corrections for physical models using unit flowrates
Flow resistance is an essential aspect of evaluating flow behavior in open-channel hydraulic models. Flow resistance in open channels is commonly characterized by Manning's resistance equation, where a value of Manning's roughness coefficient n, indicates the magnitude of flow resistance. Physical …

How West Virginia daily newspapers handle errors and corrections
… how these publications handle errors and corrections, and the placement of corrections and clarifications within the newspapers. This study uses mixed-methods research to find its results. Corrections and clarifications gathered over a 60-day time period were analyzed for the type of error …

Corrections from the Fox Hills Formation Trail City Member
<p>Concretions occur as fairly continuous horizons in the Trail City Member of the Fox Hills Formation. These horizons are used as stratigraphic markers for correlation of the formation. </p><p>Two general types of concretions are found. The first is sandstone which occurs either as spherical or …

On Vacuum Structures and Quantum Corrections in String Theory

Further, despite astonishing progress in constructing string solutions, locating realistic string vacua with desirable properties in the landscape proves to be a delicate task. The …

Characterizing and recognizing spoken corrections in human-computer dialog
… quality. Most current approaches to identifying corrections rely on detecting violations of task or belief models that are ineffective where such constraints are weak and recognition results inaccurate or unavailable. In contrast, the approach pursued in this thesis, in contrast, uses the …

An Autoethnography of a Social Justice-Minded Teacher in Corrections
