Validating Gaussian Process Models in Computer Experiments
In this thesis we present a methodology for validating Gaussian process models: Gaussian process emulators and simulator discrepancy models. A Gaussian process emulator is a representation of our beliefs about a mathematical model implemented in a computer program known as a simulator. By …

Validating Teamology in Domestic and International Setting
In recent years, collaboration between different companies especially global collaboration on oversea product development becomes more and more popular. Forming efficient product design team becomes an important concern for these companies. Team formation strategies not only consider team member's …

Developing and Validating a Measure of Transformational Followership
Leadership and followership are inherently interdependent, yet research has primarily focused on the unilateral influence of leaders. To advance a more balanced perspective and highlight how followers can positively contribute to the leadership process, I conceptualized and validated a measure of …

Validating the Simplified Therapist Demand and Support Code
The didactic nature of current postgraduate training may be limited in its effectiveness for improving therapist performance. A promising training alternative may be process coding, or training in the recognition and appropriate responsiveness to empirically supported psychotherapy process markers. …

Developing and validating a measure for recovery motives
“Workplace Recovery” refers to the replenishment of workers' energetic resources which is an important process for bettering workers’ personal lives and their organization. Regularly engaging in workplace recovery has significant benefits for work and home domains. Yet, there has been little to no …

Validating ngn-1 transcriptome targets in C. elegans
<p>A detailed understanding of how the central nervous system (CNS) is formed and connects during early development can provide information on how to understand and treat disease progression associated with CNS dysregulation. Neurodevelopmental disorders are often reported to be polygenetic in …

Validating the predictions of case-based decision theory
Real-life decision-makers typically do not know all possible outcomes arising from alternative courses of action. Instead, when people face a problem, they may rely on the recollection of their past personal experience: the situation, the action taken, and the accompanying consequence. In addition, …

Validating a novel ADHD model for medication development
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a highly heritable neurodevelopmental disorder which manifests as deficits in impulse control, excessive activity in home or school settings, and an inability to focus attention on relevant stimuli. While millions of individuals with ADHD lack this …

Validating timing constraints in multiprocessor and distributed systems
In multiprocessor and distributed real-time systems, scheduling jobs dynamically on processors is likely to achieve better performance. However, analytical and efficient validation methods for determining whether all the timing constraints are met do not yet exist for systems using modern dynamic …

To attract or to oscillate: Validating dynamics with behavior
In recent years, the `computation-through-dynamics' framework has gained traction within the neuroscience community as a means of describing how neurological processes implement behavioral computations. The framework argues that computations in neural systems are best explained through dynamical …

Identifying Molecular Targets and Validating Novel Therapies For Ovarian Cancer
<p>Re-purposing of targeted therapies for additional tumor types is a promising avenue for expanding treatment options for cancer patients, however accurately predicting what re-purposed targeted therapy will be effective remains challenging. To address this need, we developed a Therapy Predicting …
