Studies with Primary Tar Distillate from Dakota Lignite
<p>The work performed on the general problem outlined above is described in this report together with the data from this work. The present research covers but part of the general problem and, obviously, definite conclusions in certain directions will have to await further data. However, it is …

Distributionally robust binary classifier under Wasserstein distance
… We derive the tractable formulation for the general problem. When focusing on the support vector machine (SVM), the general problem boils down to an easy-to-solve second- order cone programming problem. The robustified SVM is then applied to synthetic data with and without contamination, and …

Contemporary college coaching techniques in swimming, 1976
The general problem was to determine if there was a significant relationship among collegiate swim team training methods, final team standings and individual team member’s placement by event in the 1976 NCAA Division I Swimming Championship Meet.

Output Synchronization of Networked Passive Systems
Our results are also used to address the general problem of synchronization of multiple Lagrangian systems. The problems of multi-robot coordination and of bilateral teleoperation with time delay are shown to be special cases of our general results.

The Community College Concept in New Brunswick
The general problem of this study was to determine if the community college concept in New Brunswick varied considerably from that generally established across the United States and Canada. If this were found to be true, an extension to the problem was to ascertain whether or not its particular …

Groups and Simple Languages
… a formal language WP(,0)((pi)), the reduced word problem of (pi), consisting of all words on the generators and their inverses which are equal to the identity of G but have no proper prefix equal to the identity. A general problem, then, is to determine what the nature of the reduced word problem …

Ernst Cassirer's Philosophy of Symbolic Forms and the Dialectical Problem of Knowledge
This dissertation explores the problem of how knowledge is possible, given that knowledge is necessarily rooted in the reality of the knower. The Kantian critical philosophy defeats Humean skepticism by demonstrating the a priori necessity of certain categorical functions at the root of all human …

Detection and Localization of Linear Features Based on Image Processing Methods
<p>In this work, the general problem of the detection of features in images is considered. One of the methods, the orientation detection of lines, utilized the Radon transform (sinogram) of an image to detect lines at different angles in an image. The line thickness algorithm was generated by …

Personality profiles of a hierarchy of female high school athletes from various socioeconomic groups
The general problem was to determine personality differences among a hierarchy of high school female athletes in various socio-economic groups. The specific problems were: (1) To determine if there were any significant personality trait differences among three socio-economic groupings of superior …

A problem solving system employing a formal approach to means
The thesis describes the theory and design of a general problem-solving system. The system uses a single general heuristic based on a formal definition of differences within the framework of means/ends analysis and employs tree search during problem solution. A comparison is made with two other …

Vibrações e estabilidade paramétrica de cascas axissimétricas
The general problem of Dynamics of Elastic Bodies is presented, and the problems of dynamic response and stability of rotating axisyrnmetric shells, under a non-rotating load, are studied. Using a Fourier series expansion for the circunferential variable it is shown that this load generates a …

The operating characteristics of a synchronous motor and their relation to stability
… much familiarity has been gained with the general problem, with the factors involved, and their relative importance. Some interesting experiments have been watched, and the groundwork has been laid for more. In this light, the original purpose has been accomplished.

Gauss-type formulas for linear functionals
… for approximating, the solution of the Dirichlet problem. We also discuss approximations for integrals of the form I(f) = (1/2πi) ∫<sub>L</sub> (f(z)/(z-α)) dz. Our approximations shall be of the form Q(f) = Σ<sub>k=1</sub><sup>n</sup> A<sub>k</sub>f(τ<sub>k</sub>). We characterize the nodes τ₁, …

Optimizing Parameters and Controls for Maneuvering Flexible Structures
The combined problem of optimizing both the parameters and the control for maneuvering flexible structures is addressed. The necessary conditions for the general problem are defined and a numerical technique for the solution is discussed. Implementing the numerical solution is shown to be practical …

Incorporating passive solar issues in design methodology
… characteristically address specific, existing problems or classes of problems. In contrast, this project investigated the incorporation of passive solar issues in design methodology by addressing fundamental concepts of general problem solving. A methodological structure which provides flexible …

Hirzebruch Homology
… is related to the Novikov conjecture and to the general problem of classifying manifolds. Our construction is based on one side on Kreck's theory of stratifolds and on the other side on Markus Banagl's theory of self-dual complexes of sheaves. As a corollary we can show that the Hirzebruch …

Optimal Two-Dimensional Triangulations
… For a fixed set of vertices, there are, in general, exponentially many ways to form a triangulation. Various criteria related to the geometry of triangles are used to define what one could mean by a triangulation that is optimal over all possibilities. The general problem studied in this …
