An integrated evolutionary model approach to small satellite engineering
… exists in the use of detailed integrated modeling in the design, fabrication, and operations of small satellites (<180kg). This need led to the design of the Integrated Evolutionary Model (IEM) approach to small satellite engineering. The IEM approach uses integrated modeling throughout …

Geophysical Characterisation and Evolutionary Model of the Quaternary sediments in the North Offaly region of Central Ireland
… field mapping, were used in the production of an evolutionary model of deglaciation. The geophysical methods employed were Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT), time-lapse resistivity imaging, azimuthal resistivity, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Very Low Frequency (VLF). Forward modelling …

A study of an empowered school: An investigation of the development and the effect of a teacher empowerment process
… use of the intercom. The study includes an evolutionary model of the process, and presents two illustrative examples: one illustrates the use of the process to identify faculty concerns, and the other illustrates the effect of the process when addressing the problem of interruptions to …

The Breakup Project: using evolutionary theory to predict and interpret responses to romantic relationship dissolution
… pair bonds is a well-represented topic in human evolutionary sciences. This extensive body of work, drawn mostly from the field of evolutionary psychology, has proposed mechanisms for attracting a mate (e.g., resource display, physical cues), attaining a mate (e.g., intrasexual competition), and …

Local networks : theory and applications
Chapter 2 analyzes a simple evolutionary model of residential segregation based on decentralized racism which extends Schelling's (1972) well-known tipping model by allowing for local interaction among residents. The richer set-up explains not only the persistence of ghettos, but also provides a …

An investigation into the implementation of Computer-Assisted Education (CAE) in the underprivileged areas of the Eastern Cape : a case study of Butterworth High School
… education at Butterworth High School the Evolutionary Model developed by Miller (1997) was adopted. Recommendations for further integration were made.

A regional analysis of the Kaya polities in Korea: Chronology, economy, and sociopolitical interactions in systemic perspective
… area. These implications were incorporated in an evolutionary model in a regional perspective which emphasizes systemic relationships among spatial units.

Probabilistic framework for genome-wide phylogeny and ortholog determination
… computational methods for determining the evolutionary history of every gene and region. In particular, comparative analysis requires the ability to distinguish between orthologous and paralogous regions. Current approaches to ortholog identification work adequately for pairs of species but …

Investigating the evolution of red and blue quasars
… test the predictions of the major merger-driven evolutionary model. Using rich multiwavelength data, we analyze differences in bolometric luminosity, specific star formation rate (sSFR), black hole mass, and their mutual relationships across the two populations. We find no statistically …

Children's nursing : meeting the needs of the children?
Rodgers’ evolutionary model of concept analysis was used to develop definitions of children’s nursing and their special needs, from which the inherent qualities of children’s nurses were extrapolated and tested in a variety of ways. Firstly selectors of children’s nursing students evaluated the …

European Avant-Garde: Art, Borders and Culture in Relationship to Mainstream Cinema and New Media
… between classic and digital media. This is a model which, borrowed from semiotic structures, encompasses the technical as well as aesthetic and philosophical transformations of contemporary media. The thesis rejects Baudrillard's and Virilio's proposed concepts of 'digital black hole' as the …

The Evolutionary Design Model (EDM) for the design of complex engineered systems : Masdar City as a case study
… thesis develops a framework for constructing an Evolutionary Design Model (EDM) that would enhance the design of complex systems through an efficient process. The framework proposed is generic and suggests a group of systematic methodologies that eventually lead to a fully realized and integrated …

Invisible parentheses : maping (out) the city and its histories
… between the two fields. Contrary to modernism's evolutionary model, in which the past is there only to be surpassed, and to postmodernism's revisionist agenda, in which history simplistically becomes material for the future, this thesis proposes that both history and design are dynamic …

Integrated multiple sequence alignment
… their possible repeat histories. We describe an evolutionary model including tandem duplications and excisions, and give an exact algorithm to compare two sequences under this model.

An investigation of fit measures for longitudinal network and attribute co-evolution models
Modeling the processes underlying social network and attribute change allows researchers to better identify and understand dependencies present among actors — people, places, or things. The connections that exist among these actors change over time, depend on the presence or absence of other …

Visual Quality Integerated Cost Model For Developing Green Neighborhoods: An Optimization Approach
… development. To achieve this goal, a spatial evolutionary model was developed and related to LEED ND standards. The developed model works on assisting real estate developers in building green neighborhood development and implementing competitive pricing strategy. This model is developed after …

An Empirical Test of the Relative State Model with Texas Holdem Poker Scenarios
… study empirically tested predictions from a new evolutionary model of risky decision-making, the relative state model (RSM), using Texas holdem poker scenarios. The RSM suggests that risk taking is a product of one of two interacting pathways—need (desperation) and ability (affordance). According …

Late Quaternary Evolution and Stratigraphic Framework Influence on Coastal Systems along the North-Central Gulf of Mexico, USA
… the MIS 2 surface.</p> <p>A Holocene geomorphic evolutionary model was created for Petit Bois and Dauphin Island from available data, highlighting RSLR rates and sediment supply. As the MIS 2 surface was flooded, tidal/wave scour supplied sand to migrating marine shoals. These rapidly …

Population boundaries and gravitational-wave templates for evolving white dwarf binaries
… comparable to the binary separation, we build an evolutionary model that includes finite-size effects such as the spin of the stars and tidal and rotational distortions. In two cases, we compare our model evolution with three-dimensional hydrodynamical models of mass-transferring binaries to …
