An Empirical Approach to Social Networks
… our views about the world. Our study conducts an empirical analysis of social network dynamics using Twitter data. We ask whether social networks influence voting decisions, and determine whether or not people make consistent choices based on their tweets or what they believe. We collect Twitter …

Data feed management automation : an empirical approach
This thesis proposes a framework for automation of data feed management and control. The framework can be classified into two broad areas i) building an ontology for a feed system and ii) developing a test suite, that is, a set of statistical models to analyze and diagnose feeds and formalize the …

Assessing Optimal Sibling Training Conditions: An Empirical Approach.
The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of play materials on the interactions between a child with autism and her sibling. Three conditions were assessed: open choice, materials chosen by the child with autism, and materials chosen by the typically developing sibling. Within each …

A semi-empirical approach to modelling well deliverability in gas condensate reservoirs.
… prediction of well production rates using semi-empirical approach. The use of state of the art fine grid numerical simulation is time consuming and computationally demanding, therefore not suitable for real time rapid production management decisions required on site. Development of accurate …

An Empirical Approach Toward Understanding the Linkage of Legal and Financial Institutions
… the legal and the financial system. It uses empirical evidence to study the rise of Brazilian payroll debit loans as an instance of variation in institutional setting. First, I show that payroll debit loan regulation reduced the interest rates charged by the financial institutions and …

Essays on Optimal Transport Theory and Causal Inference: A Theoretical and Empirical Approach
… the causal inference from both theoretical and empiricalperspectives. Specifically, the first two chapters seek to extend causal inference methods for problems that are underdeveloped in current methodologies, i.e., addressing non-overlap support and misreporting of outcome variables. The third …

Doctor Doom in The Marvel Age: an empirical approach to transmedia character coherence
… of transmedia storytelling to generate a new empirically driven thirteen-dimensional model of character coherence. The model is tested using a sample of comics featuring the Marvel comics character Doctor Doom, derived from a corpus containing every appearance of the character in the evolving …

Effective thermal conductivity of binary mixed materials with fissile components - an empirical approach
An empirical approach to determine the effective thermal conductivity of a binary mixed material with heat generation is presented. Analysis was carried out for a steady state problem with spherical geometry to develop an expression for the effective thermal conductivity for the spherical pebble …

Implementation of mechanistic-empirical approach for structural design of hydrated lime modified flexible pavement
… in contrast to the particular purpose and empirical procedures that are often used.The objective of this study is the development of Mechanistic-Empirical design method by the implementation of hydrated lime effect in the proposed pavement section. Enhancing the paving material …

Towards an empirical approach to the study of dubbing-induced language change in Italian
… language as a case study. By employing an empirical methodology, this research overcomes some of the limitations of previous approaches to the subject and identifies the object of study with much more clarity. The analysis also makes a valid contribution to cognitive research on …

Algal resource depression by macro-invertebrate herbivores in a chalk stream: An empirical approach
… food webs. However there is relatively little empirical data quantifying the strength of these algal-herbivore interactions, or how these vary with herbivore identity, size, and biofilm physiognomy. Interactions across a diverse herbivore guild were investigated in a chalk stream, using …

An Empirical Approach to Evaluating Sufficient Similarity: Utilization of Euclidean Distance As A Similarity Measure
… proportions available. A limitation of the approach is that the two mixtures must contain the same components. It is of interest to determine whether a fully characterized reference mixture (representative of the random process) is sufficiently similar in dose-response to a candidate mixture …

Bank Market Concentration, Advertising Intensity, Price-Cost Margins, and Costs of Production: An Empirical Approach
A large and growing literature on the relationship between local bank market concentration and interest rate performance measures has been established, but the systematic influence of market structure on costs of production, advertising intensity, and profit margins has received little attention. …

Detection and analysis of the causal relation between tourism and greenhouse gas emission: an empirical approach.
… etc. There has been a lack of research which empirically identi es how tourists activities manifest as carbon emissions across the full range of economic sectors, not just aviation. This study develops a method to identify causal relations between tourists numbers and greenhouse gas emissions …

Analysis of Airport Security Screening Checkpoints using Queuing Networks and Discrete Event Simulation: A Theoretical and Empirical Approach
… model using Arena version 12 was utilized for an empirical approach. Data was collected from both literature and by manual collection methods. Manual data was collected during the peak operating time of 6am-7am local time at the airport being modeled. The simulation model was verified and …
