Longitudinal misalignment based strain sensor
… strain by monitoring strain induced longitudinal misalignment in a novel fiber interconnection. This interconnection is created by aligning fibers within a segment of hollow core fiber. Related splice loss mechanisms are investigated for their effect on resolution. The effect of gauge length and …

Leveraging Humans to Detect and Fix Representation Misalignment
… learning approaches is that of representation misalignment, where the robot’s learned task representation does not fully capture the end user’s true task representation. In this work, we contend that because human users will be the ultimate evaluator of system performance in the world, it is …

REER misalignment and economic growth in the CAEMC Region
… growth effects of real effective exchange rate misalignments for the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CAEMC) using time series data from 1999-2010. To achieve this objective, the Real Effective Equilibrium Exchange Rate for the CFA Franc was first estimated using the Behavioural …

The Effects of Carbon Fiber Misalignment on Composite Material Strength
… isotropic composites. On the other hand, fiber misalignment measurements are taken through via digital microscopy to satisfy a statistical approach for the determination of the same elastic modulus. The Paper Physics Approach (PPA) and Laminate Analogy Approach (LAA) are utilized to predict the …

Addressing Misalignment in Language Model Deployments through Context-Specific Evaluations
… context. This results in an inevitable misalignment where a model trained on human preference proxies in context A is deployed in context B. Existing evaluation measures and alignment techniques are heavily biased towards the values and perspectives of model developers. In this thesis, I …

Chronic Circadian Misalignment Disrupts the Circadian Clock and Promotes Metabolic Syndrome
… in the United States and worldwide. Chronic misalignment of an organism’s internal circadian clock with diurnal, cyclic changes in the external environment, prevalent in professions that require shift work, contributes significantly to Type 2 Diabetes development. Experimentally, only …

Analysing the relationship between real exchange rate misalignment and capital flow in Namibia
… the relationship between real exchange rate misalignment and capital flow in Namibia during the period 1993Q1 - 2015Q4. Namibia has a fixed exchange rate regime which is prone to speculative attack, moreover, a devaluation or undervaluation is the major cause of capital outflow which hinders …

Intensity Modulated Proton Therapy Optimization Under Uncertainty: Field Misalignment and Internal Organ Motion
… dose inhomogeneity problem caused by the setup misalignment in field junctions. Numerical results show that the robust optimized IMPT plans create a low gradient field radiation dose in the junction regions, which can minimize the impact from misalignment uncertainty. Compare to conventional …

Investigating the factors which influence the misalignment between developers and testers in agile organizations
… in an organization. Research shows evidence of a misalignment between the role of the software tester and the software developer in software development teams specifically in organizations that adopt agile methodologies to manage their software development projects. It is this misalignment between …

Aerodynamic Investigation of Upstream Misalignment over the Nozzle Guide Vane in a Transonic Cascade
The possibility of misalignments at interfaces would be increased due to individual parts' assembly and external factors during its operation. In actual engine representative conditions, the upstream misalignments have effects on turbines performance through the nozzle guide vane passages. The …
