Psychometric Issues Related to the Tinker Toy Test
… assessment of higher cerebral functioning. The Tinker Toy Test (TTT) was introduced in 1982. This test allows an individual to demonstrate the extent of their executive capacities by permitting them to initiate, plan, and structure a potentially complex activity and carry it out independently in …

Explorations in AI and Creative Learning New Tools to Expand How Young People Imagine, Create, and Tinker with Scratch
… AI by using text-based inputs to create and tinker with Scratch projects; and Scratch Spark, which reimagines the new learner experience by using generative AI to help users create personally meaningful “spark projects.” This thesis describes the process of imagining, creating, and reflecting …

Some effects of the introduction of hard water into Carvin Cove Reservoir, Virginia
In November, 1966, Tinker Creek, a hard water stream was introduced into Carvin cove Reservoir, a very infertile, water-supply reservoir. This provided an excellent opportunity to study some of the interactions between fish productivity and water quality. Physicochemical conditions were monitored …

Development of computational tools to model molecular interactions for medicinal chemistry
… tool, a molecular mechanics/dynamics package, TINKER, does not model X-bonds. Thus, I then incorporate a force field for a broad range of X-bonding molecules into TINKER, creating X-TINKER. X-TINKER reproduces the energies and geometries of the X-bond in the DNA and T4-L systems. Last, I will …

The effects of luminance contrast, raster modulation, and ambient illumination on text readability and subjective image quality
… presented on a CRT display. Participants read a Tinker Speed of Reading text passage on the monitor and then responded when they found the out-of-context word in the passage. Correct responses and response times were recorded. Participants also rated the image quality of the monitor by selecting …

Explorations in musical tinkering
This thesis introduces the idea of "musical tinkering," exploring how to engage people in playfully creating and experimenting with their own musical instruments and compositions. I discuss the design and study of two new tools for musical tinkering, MelodyMorph and MaKey MaKey. MelodyMorph is an …

Objective Image Quality of CRT Displays under Ambient Glare: Assessing the ISO 9241-7 Ergonomic Technical Standard
… 2, fourteen participants were asked to read Tinker passages from seven display/filter combinations (tested in Phase 1) under five lighting conditions and two screen polarities. The purpose of the Phase 2 was to determine if people perform differently for Class I, II, or III monitor/filter …

The dispersal of three mistletoe species by birds in the Loskop Dam Nature Reserve
… mistletoe seeds. The diet of the Yellowfronted Tinker Barbet Pogoniulus chrysoconus, the main dispersor of the seeds of the mistletoes, was studied. Comparisons are made between mistletoes and their dispersal agents in savanna and forest biomes in South Africa, and the dispersal of mistletoes by …

Habitat Niche Modeling in the Texas Horned Lizard (Phrynosoma cornutum): Applications to Planned Translocation
… studied translocation of Texas horned lizards on Tinker Air Force Base, Midwest City, Oklahoma, using correlative and mechanistic habitat suitability models. My goals were broadly classified into two categories: first, to determine if the addition of mechanistic data layers (i.e., habitat-niche …
