Semi-supervised cycle-consistency training for end-to-end ASR using unpaired speech
… speech recognition (ASR) models using unpaired speech. In general, large amounts of paired data (speech and text) are needed to train an end-to-end automatic speech recognition system. To alleviate the problem of limited paired data, the idea of cycle-consistency losses has been proposed …

Assessment of bivariate normality
… used to assess the bivariate normality of paired data, two of which are also used to assess the multivariate normality. Nevertheless, none of the methods is very efficient or conclusive in their assessment of bivariate normality. In this thesis we are proposing a new method to test …

Modeling the Progression of Discrete Paired Longitudinal Data.
… derive a methodology for which to model discrete paired longitudinal data. Through the use of transition matrices and maximum likelihood estimation techniques by means of software, we develop a way to model the progression of such data. We provide an example by applying this method to the …

DOCKING STUDIES OF CURCUMIN ANALOGS AGAINST METHIONINE AMINOPETIDASE 2 AND BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF LEAD MOLECULES IN COLON CELLS
… Western blot analysis. The Student’s t-test for paired data and Dunnett’s post hoc test with p<0.05 were performed using the program IBM SPSS Statistics 26. One hundred thirty compounds were docked against MetAP2 enzyme, out of these the top 10 compounds that showed good results for their …

Examining the Implications of Virtual Credit Recovery on High School Student Achievement in EOC Classes
… a 95% confidence interval to be obtained. Paired data from students enrolled in EOC American Literature, Biology, Algebra I, and United States History virtual credit recovery courses was utilized to conduct the data analysis. The researcher uses a dependent sample t-test to understand how …

Composing Foundation Models for Decision Making
… by the scarcity and expense of collecting paired visual, language, and action data. To address this challenge, this thesis proposes a scalable alternative: a compositional model architecture that leverages separately trained expert models specializing in language, vision, and action. By …

Mitigating the risk of a new workforce by reducing rework and rightsizing on hand inventory
… the original mechanic increases from 27% to 41%. Paired data is analyzed to show (on average) a 20% decrease in rework when the feedback loop is utilized. Included is qualitative advice on implementing change on the shop floor. During final testing, damaged parts (typically as a result of out of …

Unsupervised Text Translation Through the Application of Generative Adversarial Networks
… of these problems is the lack of access to paired training data, which inhibits training via a straightforward maximum likelihood estimation approach. This requires us to focus on unsupervised techniques for text translation that depend only on access to large domains of unpaired data. For …

The Development and Initial Validity / Reliability Testing of the Glamorgan Paediatric Pressure Ulcer Risk Assessment Scale
… (project 1). This included collecting detailed data on the characteristics of children. The incidence of pressure ulcers in the sample (not including non-blanching erythema) was 3.7%, and the prevalence was 2.2%. <br/>A multicentre study was carried out (project 2) in which detailed data of the …

Evaluation of core temperature measurement and treatment of capture-related hyperthermia in anesthetized brown bears (Ursus arctos)
… temperature was also measured with the HDT and paired data points were analyzed with the Bland-Altman technique and regression analysis. In bears that demonstrated gastric temperatures ≥ 40oC a described active cooling protocol was performed and the temperature change was analyzed for 30 …

Methods for Comparing Two Means with Application in Adaptive Clinical Trials
… research and development based on accrued data has become very popular due to its flexibility and efficiency. In this thesis, we derive the Behrens-Fisher distribution, and use the distributional result to examine the effect of an intervention by comparing population means of intervention …

Academic and Therapeutic Potential of the Sierra II Process: An Evaluation of an Adapted Outward Bound Diversion Program for Adjudicated Juvenile Delinquents
… biographic, offense related, and school related data were collected on each study participant through use of Youth and School Data Forms.</p> <p>Data were analyzed primarily through the use of an ANOVA with repeated measures. Where appropriate, Matched T-Tests were performed in order to ascertain …

Reconstructing Visual Appearance and Process by Repurposing Pretrained Diffusion Models
… Mismatches in input structure, supervision, and data availability make naive fine-tuning or prompt-based adaptation ineffective. This thesis addresses the central question: how can pretrained diffusion models be repurposed to support novel visual generation tasks under partial observation? I …
