Observation & Light
Our life experience can be enriched by observation; acknowledging this as a way of "seeing" can positively influence architectural design. This thesis records personal observation of light and looks to historical precedents in which natural light is revered as an element that both defines space and …

Cosmological Models and Observation
… discussion of the basic theory and current observational status of cosmology. We introduce gauge-invariant perturbation theory to derive the linear perturbation equations and use a matrix formalism to find suitable initial conditions for numerical integration. With the cosmological software …

Professional Growth: Informal Peer Observation
<p>The practice of peer observation has recently gained attention as educational and political leaders examine teacher effectiveness. Prior research studies about peer observation were mostly conducted in secondary universities or in schools where this practice was voluntary. Since this practice …

Characterizing alma for solar observation
… thesis, the advantages of using ALMA for solar observation are presented, together with the introduction of a campaign to commission ALMA for solar observations. Observation modes of the solar campaign are reviewed in Chapter 2. Methods for constructing images from single dish data as well as …

Robust imitation learning from observation
… algorithm called Robust Imitation Learning from Observation (RILfO), that aims to provide robustness in an imitation learning from observation setting. First, we allow the agent to learn a policy given state-only demonstrations from experts. Second, we introduce an adversarial agent that aims to …

Is Observation for Traumatic Hemothorax Safe?
… sought to 1) determine the safety of selective observation for traumatic hemothorax, and 2) identify predictors of failed observation. Methods: All patients with traumatic hemothorax from 2000-2014 at a Level I Trauma Center were identified and categorized by size as small (<300cc) or large …

Continuous observation planning for autonomous exploration
… explore efficiently. Planning paths to candidate observation points that will lead to efficient exploration is challenging, however, because the set of candidates, and, therefore, the robot's plan, change frequently as the robot adds information to the map. The main claim of this thesis is that, …

Communications in the observation limited regime
… with the maximum a posteriori entropy can reduce observation costs by close to an order of magnitude using a (24,12) Golay code. This is the highest performance reported over the binary input AWGN channel, with or without feedback, for this blocklength. Sampling signal energy, rather than …

Observation-induced reactance in a prison
… of the freedom-threat tape would experience observation inductive reactance which would result in their desiring a greater amount of choice about group therapy enrollment at the same time that they would derogate the value of group therapy for themselves. Subjects also completed semantic …

Behavioural Observation for Critical Infrastructure Security Support
… in this thesis, details the use of behavioural observation for critical infrastructure security support. Our observer system monitors an infrastructure’s behaviour and detects abnormalities, which are the result of a cyber-attack taking place. By observing subtle changes in system behaviours, an …

Robust Observation and Control of Complex Networks
… approaches for dealing with the problem of observation and control in both the framework of multi-agents and complex interconnected systems. The main contributions of this Thesis consist on the development of several algorithms based on concepts of discontinuous slidingmode control. This …

Observation and control of PDE with disturbances
In this Thesis, the problem of controlling and Observing some classes of distributed parameter systems is addressed. The particularity of this work is to consider partial differential equations (PDE) under the effect of external unknown disturbances. We consider generalized forms of two popular …

Spectroscopic observation of materials under dynamic conditions
A new method is developed for direct real-time visualization of shock generation, propagation, and convergence in a sample. The approach opens up new possibilities for controlling the shock parameters and allows one to access pressures in the multiple gigapascal range. Optical generation of shock …

Exploiting Observation Bias to Improve Matrix Completion
… Ma & Chen (2019) [1]. Instead of treating this observation bias as a disadvantage, as is typically the case, the goal is to exploit the shared information between the bias and the outcome of interest to improve predictions. Towards this, we consider a natural model where the observation pattern …

Assessing levels of intoxication through behavioral observation
The primary goals of this research were: 1) to develop an alcohol intoxication detection aid (IDA) that can be used to estimate reliably and accurately another person's level of alcohol impairment; 2) to evaluate the effect of alcohol on a computer-controlled critical tracking task (CTT), which …

Observation and Measurement of the Growth of the Primary Instabilities of the Richtmyer-Meshkov Instability and Observation of Secondary Instabilities
… vortex pair and the central spike; and the observation of secondary instabilities within the primary instability. The formation of the instabilities is the result of a standing normal shock wave of air interacting with a cylindrical column of sulfur hexafluoride saturated with acetone. The …
