Obstacles to wearable computing
In the year 2021, wearable technology could look beautiful and feel magical, but instead is exemplified by a plain wristband that looks suspiciously like a prison monitor. How can we make wearable technology that respects our privacy, enhances our daily lives, integrates with our other connected …

Nonholonomic Feedback Control Among Moving Obstacles
… with multiple stationary and possibly moving obstacles. Among other applications the developed algorithms can be used for automatic parking of a passenger car in a parking lot with complex configuration or a ground robot in cluttered environment. Several approaches are explored which combine …

Opportunities and obstacles in bilingual reading
This research examines the strategic reading processes of eight bilingual Hispanic children who are good English readers. For comparative purposes, a smaller sample of good monolingual Anglo readers and of poor bilingual Hispanic readers is also included. The major objective of this study was to …

Visibility-Aware Navigation Among Movable Obstacles
… visibility-aware robot navigation among movable obstacles (VANAMO). A variant of the well-known NAMO robotic planning problem, VANAMO puts additional visibility constraints on robot motion and object movability. This new problem formulation lifts the restrictive assumption that the map is fully …

The Obstacles in Women's Pathway to Principalship
The research problem is to investigate the obstacles of women seeking the principalship in public education; and also to explore major changes of different obstacles to women's principalship because women's roles have changed over time. Different obstacles in women's pathway to principalship are: …

Assistant Principal Frustrations,Obstacles, and Recommended Changes
… assistant principals encounter frustrations and obstacles which impede them from fulfilling their duties and responsibilities. Furthermore, the research also shows there are changes that can be made which would improve job satisfaction and effectiveness for assistant principals as well as reduce …

Obstacles to realizing Quintessence from String Theory
In this master thesis we analyze the construction of quintessence models by flux compactification of type IIB string theory. We focus on Kähler moduli as candidates for the quintessence field and briefly comment on other approaches. The large hierarchies required for simultaneously describing …

Vortex flow around the bases of obstacles
… caused by boundary layer separation upstream of obstacles mounted on a wall. Flow visualization enabled these vortex systems to be described in detail for both laminar and turbulent flow upstream of the obstacles, for flow velocities between 0.3 ms-1 and 25 ms-1. Pressure distributions on the …

Flow and Heat Transfer in Tubes with Obstacles
… pressure loss in heated tubes equipped with flow obstacles by experimentally investigating the axial and circumferential distributions of convective heat transfer in a heated tube, complemented by pressure loss and velocity measurements in an adiabatic pipe flow. The heat transfer experiments …

Overcoming obstacles to lean in a repair operation
Over the last three decades, manufacturing companies have come to recognize the value of institutionalizing continuous improvement efforts. Most of them look to Toyota as a leader in this area and have taken Toyota's model for implementing lean, the Toyota Production System (TPS), and adapted it to …

Algorithms and algorithmic obstacles for probabilistic combinatorial structures
… problems, as well as explore the algorithmic obstacles for a variety of discrete optimization problems arising in the theory of random graphs, statistics and machine learning. In particular, we consider the average-case optimization for three NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems: Large …
