Smarter NEAT Nets
… of a ge- netic neural net algorithm called NEAT (NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topolo- gies). The modification aims to accomplish its goal by automatically changing parameters used by the algorithm with little input from a user. The advan- tage of the modification is to reduce the guesswork …

Quantum Mechanical Calculations of Time Correlation Functions for Neat Fluids
A more direct calculation using the pair-product approximation to the propagator is also discussed. Using single-step approximations to the propagator, it is shown that real-time correlation functions can be expressed as integrals of smooth functions, and thus can be efficiently evaluated by Monte …

Moisture diffusion through neat and glass-fiber reinforced vinyl ester resin containing nanoclay
Moisture diffusion was studied through neat resin as well as glass-fiber reinforced vinyl ester samples, both containing up to 5 wt% montmorillonite clay. Transient and steady-state diffusion experiments were carried out with both neat resin as well as glass-fiber reinforced samples. Effect of …

Wet-spinning of neat single-walled carbon nanotube fiber from 100+% sulfuric acid
… SWNTs only with the assistance of 100+% H2SO 4 (neat SWNT fibers). Extensive conditions, including concentrations, coagulation, and operation temperature, have been explored with Daca mixer and other custom-designed apparatuses (SBM and Refined Mixer). Fibers' properties have been tremendously …

Secondary relaxation processes in neat and binary glass formers studied by 2H NMR spectroscopy
… role for the understanding of glassy dynamics in neat systems, but also in binary mixtures thereof. The first part is devoted to the plastic crystalline (PC) phase of cyanocyclohexane. A 2D 2H NMR assessment regarding the alpha-process demonstrated that dynamics is not governed by the symmetry of …

Primary and Secondary Relaxations in Neat and Binary Glass Formers Studied by Means of Dielectric Spectroscopy
… subject of this thesis is the investigation of neat and binary molecular glass formers studied with the help of dielectric spectroscopy (DS). One of two main interests followed by this thesis is to refine the generic picture of the dynamic susceptibility, including the temperature evolution of …

A Study of Molecular Orientation at Neat Liquid-Mica Interface by Sum Frequency Generation (SFG) Spectroscopy
… in detail since the complexity of orientation of neat liquid on mica surface is introduced by the multiple interactions on mica surface, such as electrostatics, hydrogen bonding, van der Waals and dipole interaction between mica and liquid and liquid itself. A small change of structure and mica …

An investigation into the failure of neat cement cylinders under independently controlled confining pressure, pore pressure, and axial force
… on the ultimate axial compressive strength of neat cement cylinders. In trying to achieve this purpose the ultimate strength, deformation, and volume change of the material have been studied. The test program consisted of a variation in confining pressure and pore pressure from 0 to 20, 000 …

THE IMPACT OF ANCHOR ITEM EXPOSURE ON MEAN/SIGMA LINKING AND IRT TRUE SCORE EQUATING UNDER THE NEAT DESIGN
… designs is called the nonequivalent anchor test (NEAT) design. This equating design requires two forms of a test, each of which is given to a group of examinees one year apart. The two forms have a set of items in common, usually called the anchor set, in order to control for differences in …

An Assessment of Virginia Cooperative Extension's New Extension Agent Training Program
… assessment of the New Extension Agent Training (NEAT) program in Virginia. Although new Extension agents have exceptional subject matter training, they often lack skills needed to be effective Extension professionals (Bennett, 1979). The NEAT program provides a way for new agents to receive …

Structure and Dynamics of Thermotropic Liquid Crystalline and Solid Phases of Sodium Alkanoates (Nmr)
The neat (smectic A) phase of anhydrous sodium alkanoates is studied by means of NMR, polarization microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The domain sizes, ('23)Na spin-lattice relaxation times T(,1), and the ('23)Na quadrupolar coupling constants (QCC) in neat phase sodium 3- and 4-methylpentanoates …
