A unified framework to identify and extract uncertainty cues, holders, and scopes in one fell-swoop
… and extract uncertainty cues, holders, and scopes in one-fell swoop by casting each task as a supervised token sequence labeling problem. Third, I choose to work on the Arabic language, in contrast to English, the most commonly studied language in the literature of automatic uncertainty …

Optimization of labor allocation at a syringe production facility : work study
… handler job designations. The associated new job scopes combine tasks which are currently assigned broadly to production technicians working on the syringe production floor. A work study approach was undertaken with the broad aim of reducing waste from the new job scopes, as well as to verify …

Optimization of labor allocation at a syringe production facility : design proposals
… based on skill levels to form new job scopes. Following which, two new labor allocations were proposed. Both proposals feature flexible worker systems that reduce the response time to machines failures, as well as more focused job scopes to minimize work interruptions. New labor …

A Comparison of Imperviousness Derived from a Detailed Land Cover Dataset (DLCD) versus the National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD) at Two Time Periods
… spatial aggregation scales (fine to coarse) and scopes (site-specific to area-extent). When comparing the total impervious surface area, the NLCD overestimated the DLCD by appreciable amounts (12-27%) for the entire town and across all specified land use zones for both time periods examined. A …

Health information on the Internet : strategies for assessing consumer needs and improving consumer information retrieval
… comparison of Internet searches in these two scopes was conducted to determine which search scope provides better returns. No statistical difference was found between the two different scopes, but several pros and cons of each were identified. Queries generated by consumers to initiate a …

Technoeconomic Assessment of Carbon Dioxide Conversion Projects in a Canadian Context
… However, in the literature, variable process scopes and assumptions reduce the value of direct comparisons between published results. To enable meaningful comparisons, this thesis integrates techno-economic models for amine-based CO2 capture and proton exchange membrane H2 production with …

Rethinking Edwards v. Aguillard?: The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment and the Challenge of Intelligent Design
… conflicts that can be traced back to the famous Scopes Trial. Although many thought, and continue to think, that creationism was dealt a fatal blow in Edwards, a new movement, made up of largely well-educated and well-credentialed scholars, has given new life to the debate that began with Scopes. …

"There can be no education without religion": Tennessee evangelicals and education, 1875--1925
As host to the infamous Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925, Tennessee has an obvious history of conflict over religion and education. By examining white Tennessee Baptists and Methodists in the half-century leading up to the showdown in Dayton, this dissertation argues that Tennessee's 1925 anti-evolution …
