High Multiplicity Strip Packing
… width 1, without rotations, such that they are nonoverlapping and the total height of the resulting packing is minimized. In this thesis, we consider the version of the two-dimensional strip packing problem where there is a constant number K of distinct rectangle sizes and present an OPT + K - 1 …

An investigation of the effects of test length on short-form basic skills competency tests developed by using the one-parameter item response model/
… the one-parameter i tern response model. Three nonoverlapping short-form tests of 10, 20, and 30 i terns were developed using i terns targeted at the cut-score of the test. The study investigated the extent to which estimates of pupil functional reading ability levels and mastery/nonmastery …

New control charts for monitoring univariate autocorrelated processes and high-dimensional profiles
… DWT vectors are aggregated (batched) so that the nonoverlapping batch means of the reduced-dimension DWT vectors have manageable covariances. To monitor shifts in the mean profile during Phase II operation, WDFTC computes a Hotelling's T-square--type statistic from successive nonoverlapping batch …

Effective Estimation of Marginal Quantiles in Steady-State Simulations
… quantiles based on STSs computed from nonoverlapping batches; (ii) a new fully automated fixed-sample-size procedure for steady-state quantile estimation based on a single time series; and (iii) the first fully automated fixed-sample-size procedure for steady-state quantile estimation …

Computational Studies on the Effective Properties of Two-Phase Heterogeneous Media
… It is found that the results for overlapping and nonoverlapping inclusions do not differ very much at the same volume fraction. The effect of the particle morphology is also investigated in the context of prolate and oblate ellipsoidal particles.</p> <p>The geometric percolation thresholds for …

Applications of nonuniform sampling in wideband multichannel communication systems
… permits the simultaneous sensing of a number of nonoverlapping spectral subbands constituting a wide range of monitored frequencies. The operational sampling rates of the sensing procedure are not limited or dictated by the overseen bandwidth antithetical to uniform-sampling-based techniques. …

Design and optimisation of three-phase salient rotor wound field flux switching motor
… of WFFSM employing a salient rotor with nonoverlapping field and armature windings on the stator and a presentation of an unexcited rotor. The non-overlapping winding arrangement on the stator consumes less copper material, thus improves the efficiency. Moreover, the salient rotor …

Examining Treatment Effects for Single-Case ABAB Designs through Sensitivity Analyses
… using four methods: (a) the percentage of nonoverlapping data (Morgan & Morgan, 2009), (b) the Standardized Mean Difference (Busk & Serlin, 1992), (c) the improvement rate difference and (d) R2, in order to assess the proportion variance in the dependent variable that can be explained by …

SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT MODULATES THE FUNCTION AND NEUROENDOCRINE REGULATION OF ELECTROCOMMUNICATION SIGNALS ACROSS SPECIES OF APTERONOTID FISHES
… profiles and correlations among gene pairs were nonoverlapping across species and context. Despite the potential for social complexity, A. balaenops were less behaviorally and physiologically variable. Perceiving conspecific signals during the less predictable social interactions common in A. …

The Efficacy of a Key Word Signing Workshop
… skills. The adult participants’ percentage of nonoverlapping data (PND) for the number of signed utterances, signs, and different signs they used in their classrooms or therapy rooms indicated a large effect. Two of the four students did not produce signed utterances during the classroom …

Automatic modulation classification of communication signals
… will classify them into one of several nonoverlapping sets of modulation types. In addition, in M-ary FSK (MFSK) signal classification, two classifiers have also been developed. These two classifiers are also capable of providing good estimate of the frequency deviation of a received …

Bacteria isolated from coriander and other umbelliferous herbs
… and two sequential, agglomerative, hierarchical, nonoverlapping clustering techniques (single linkage clustering and complete linkage clustering) were compared for all bacterial isolates which produced results that did not measure any characteristic that was also measured by another test, and that …

Defect correction based domain decomposition methods for some nonlinear problems
Defect correction schemes as a class of nonoverlapping domain decomposition methods offer several advantages in the ways they split a complex problem into several subdomain problems with less complexity. The schemes need a nonlinear solver to take care of the residual at the interface. The …

Remodelling of Mycobacterial Peptidoglycan During Cell Division and the Epigenetics of Macrophages during M. tuberculosis infection
… suggest that Ami1 and Ami4 in Mtb play a nonoverlapping role in antibiotic sensitivity and modulating host immunity during tuberculosis. Additionally, the specific epigenetic alterations which occur during host-Mtb infection that contribute to immune evasion remain unknown. Here, we …

Multicast outing protocols and architectures in mobile ad-hoc wireless networks

The effectiveness of a brief home-based naturalistic language intervention on the spoken language abilities of children with autism in the Western Cape
… for the three participants. The percentage of nonoverlapping data between the baseline and intervention sessions was above 92% for all participants. Evidence of generalisation of their spoken language abilities to interactions with their parents were observed. Conclusion: A functional …

Object Association Across Multiple Moving Cameras In Planar Scenes
In this dissertation, we address the problem of object detection and object association across multiple cameras over large areas that are well modeled by planes. We present a unifying probabilistic framework that captures the underlying geometry of planar scenes, and present algorithms to estimate …
