Modeling Urban Growth and Land Use Change in Albuquerque using SLEUTH
… upper and lower bounds of future development. SLEUTH, a cellular automata based dynamic urban growth model, was used in the analysis and future urban growth prediction. The SLEUTH model was first calibrated for Albuquerque and its input variables (specifically exclusion layer), and …

Simulating urban growth for Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area by coupling SLEUTH model and population projection
… the first approach, we implemented traditional SLEUTH urban simulation model by using publicly available and locally-developed land cover and transportation data. Historical land cover data from 1996, 2001, 2006, and 2011 were used to calibrate SLEUTH model and predict urban growth from 2011 to …

Using SLEUTH Land Cover Predictions to Estimate Changes in Runoff Quality and Quantity in the Delmarva Peninsula
… in land cover and the associated land use, the SLEUTH model coupled with PED utilized a number of different inputs including population growth trends, existing geography, current land planning policies as well as different growth factors to predict where urban growth is most likely to occur. The …

A quasi-model-independent search strategy for new high-pT physics at Tevatron Run II
… search strategy for new physics (SLEUTH) was introduced in Tevatron Run I to allow a probe of high-pT hadron collider data. This dissertation prescribes the SLEUTH algorithm that will be used in Tevatron Run II. Improvements over the Run I algorithm are discussed, and an intuition …

DYNAMIC GEOSPATIAL MODELLING AND SIMULATION OF PREDOMINANTLY INFORMAL CITIES: AN INTEGRATED AGENT-BASED AND CELLULAR AUTOMATA MODEL OF URBAN GROWTH
… explicit datasets are drawn from Accra, and SLEUTH, a dynamic urban CA model, is applied to the Ghanaian city-region. In relation to the second objective, the research draws on wide ranging spatial datasets and combines SLEUTH with urban spatial metrics to analyse the evolving spatial …

SleuthTalk: Addressing the Last-Mile Problem in Historical Person Identification with Privacy, Collaboration, and Structured Feedback
… person identification. In this work, we present SleuthTalk, a web-based collaboration tool integrated into the public website Civil War Photo Sleuth which addresses the last-mile problem in historical person identification by providing support for shortlisting potential candidates from face …

Designing Human-AI Collaborative Systems for Historical Photo Identification
… of human intelligence and AI. I introduce Photo Sleuth, a novel person identification pipeline that combines crowdsourced expertise with facial recognition, supporting users in identifying unknown portraits from the American Civil War era (1861--65). Despite successfully identifying numerous …

‘Nothing but the Truth’: Genre, Gender and Knowledge in the US Television Crime Drama 2005-2010
… the resurgence and reformulating of the amateur sleuth; this time remerging as the gifted police consultant, a figure capable of insights that the police could not manage. I term these new shows ‘consultant procedurals’. Consequently, the genre moved away from dealing with the ills of society and …

Refining Behavioural Theories and Rules in Agent-Based Models to Enhance Dynamic Simulation of Urban Change
… spatial data and extending the existing CA-based SLEUTH urban growth model into a CA/ABM-based land use-transport interaction model in the NetLogo platform. Following on, it demonstrates the structuring of behavioural rules for residents’ car to non-car mode switch based on three psychosocial …

Sisterly Sleuths: The Hidden Cultural Work of Serial Modernism
… The Hazards of Helen (1914-1917); two teenage sleuth series, Carolyn Keene’s Nancy Drew (1930-2003) and Margaret Sutton’s Judy Bolton (1930-1967); and Sara Paretsky’s adult detective series V.I. Warshawski (1982-present).

A fission-fusion hybrid reactor in steady-state L-mode tokamak configuration with natural uranium
… L-Mode Non-Enriched Uranium Tokamak Hybrid (SLEUTH). The purpose of this work is not any sort of elaborate design, but rather the exploration of an idea coupled with corroborating numerical analysis. At this point in the hybrid debate, viable conceptual designs are persuasive while intricate …
