An Analysis of FSM Mutation Operators
… methods that work from a finite state machine (FSM); In this thesis, we report on results from an experiment during which we compared different mutation operators used to generate FSM mutants. We randomly generated multiple synthetic FSMs and selected real-world FSMs; We created all the possible …

FSM-Based Pronunciation Modeling using Articulatory Phonological Code
… method that uses a finite state machine (FSM) to represent the invariance of a gestural score. Given the ""canonical"" gestural score of a word with a known activation timing scheme, the plausible activation onsets and offsets are recursively generated and encoded as a weighted FSM. An …

Adding Personalized Wavefront Correction to a Scleral Lens After Lens Manufacture
… lenses have relied on the full-surface method (FSM) of manufacture, which requires the wavefront correction to be integrated into the design of a traditional scleral lens prior to lens manufacture. A novel patch-cutting method (PCM) of manufacture would rely on carving the wavefront correction …

Pattern discovery in structural databases with applications to bioinformatics
Frequent structure mining (FSM) aims to discover and extract patterns frequently occurring in structural data such as trees and graphs. FSM finds many applications in bioinformatics, XML processing, Web log analysis, and so on. In this thesis, two new FSM techniques are proposed for finding …

Socio-economic Background and Attainment at GCSE: Does the Attainment of Students Eligible for Free School Meals Differ Over Time By Assessment System or Other Background Characteristics?
… known to be eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) rises, reaching 24.6 % in 2024, this issue could affect more than 1.1 million students in our schools. However, research on interactions of socio-economic background with regards to their examination context have been mostly focused on …

Large lectures are hard: an exploration in meaningful social visualizations for large group communication
… interaction, the Fragmented Social Mirror (FSM), as well as the results that were seen with the FSM in a pilot study. The design of a continuance of the first FSM study is then presented, an interview study designed to elicit feedback from instructors regarding classroom communication …

The nutritional value of flaxseed meal for swine
The nutritional value of flaxseed meal (FSM), a by-product of the flax crushing industry, has not been evaluated properly for use within swine rations. A series of experiments were conducted to determine the nutritional profile of this novel feed ingredient for pigs.The analysis of FSM revealed …

Assessing the Photoprotective Effects of Fluorescent Sphingomyelin Against UVB Induced DNA Damage in Human Keratinocytes
… thesis were to characterize a fluorescent SM (FSM) to assess changes in intracellular fluorescence distribution after various incubation and post-UV exposure times. FSM was deemed functionally equivalent to BSM by reducing levels of p21 after UV. Furthermore, quantification demonstrated that …

Design study of outer rotor field excitation flux switching motor for electric vehicles
Flux switching machines (FSMs) that consist of all flux sources in the stator have been developed in recent years. They can be categorized into three groups that are Permanent magnet (PM) FSM, field excitation (FE) FSM and hybrid excitation (HE) FSM. Among these FSMs, the FEFSM offers advantages of …

Preference and acceptability of four protein sources by ruminating Holstein calves
… with either SBM, peanut meal (PNM), fish meal (FSM), or corn gluten meal (CGM). Each day of four trials, .45 kg of each concentrate was randomly assigned to one of four equal feed box sections. Calf feeding position was recorded every 30 sec for no more than 50 min or until calves stopped …

Control of a fast steering mirror for laser-based satellite communication
… feedback control of this Fast Steering Mirror (FSM). The feedback on the FSM comes from two different set of sensors. On power up, the FSM's angular position is controlled with feedback from local position sensors (KAMAN eddy current sensors). Optical feedback is accomplished with a laser beam …

Low-Power-Driven Synthesis Algorithms for Sequential and Combinational Circuits
… to decompose a given finite state machine (FSM) into smaller interacting FSMs such that by themselves they have plenty of self-loops, although the original FSM may not have any self-loops. We power down these decomposed FSM during the transitions corresponding to the self-loops to save power …

Investigation of Experimental Variation of Bovine Sphingomyelin as a Novel Ingredient for Ultraviolet Protection
… damage. Additionally, fluorescent sphingomyelin (FSM) was added as a treatment because it was created to be an analog to BSM and allowed for visualization of sphingomyelin within the cell.</p> <p>Differences in p21 intensities were observed with BSM and FSM showing a reduced p21 intensity compared …

Understanding Family Routines in a Head Start Sample: A Family Stress Model Perspective
<p>According to the family stress model (FSM), economic pressure, or the perceived strain of economic hardship, contributes to parent mental health problems, which impacts parenting behaviors and, in turn, results in negative child outcomes like child externalizing behavior. Studies have shown that …

Applications of Event Data Recorder Derived Crash Severity Metrics to Injury Prevention
… methods in MASH is the flail space model (FSM), which was introduced in 1981 and models an occupant as an unrestrained point mass. The FSM is comprised of two crash severity metrics that can be calculated using acceleration data from the test vehicle. Each metric is prescribed a maximum …

Development of an excreta pathway for Kanyama peri-urban area of Lusaka using the shit flow diagram (SFD) tool.
… improvement of OSS and Faecal Sludge Management (FSM) under the Lusaka Sanitation Programme (LSP). This research was aimed at producing an Excreta Flow Diagram (Excreta Pathway) and analysis of OSS and FSM services for Kanyama PUA of Lusaka which is one of the most informal settlement areas hit by …
