Improving Topic Tracking with Domain Chaining
… statistical tracking systems. While lexical chaining, a non-statistical approach, has also been applied to the task of tracking by Carthy and Stokes for the 2001 TDT evaluation, an efficient tracking system based on this technology has yet to be developed. In thesis we investigate two new …

Clause chaining, switch reference and coordination
… that has been identified elsewhere as clause chaining is actually asymmetric clausal coordination. The special properties that seem to distinguish clause chaining from asymmetric clausal coordination are argued to fall out from the structure of the clause in Kisedje. I further propose that the …

Co-linear Chaining on Graphs With Cycles
… suboptimal alignments. Among them, co-linear chaining (CLC) is a powerful and popular technique that approximates the alignment by finding a chain of short aligned fragments that may come from exact matching. The optimal solution to CLC on sequences can be found efficiently in subquadratic …

Trip chaining: linking the influences and implications
… monitored with interest the emergence of trip chaining, or multi-purpose trip making, which is becoming a common method of travel for many households. As of 2001, 61% of all working age adults trip chained. From a policy perspective, this warrants attention as these 61% of adults who trip chain …

The Efficacy of an In-Vivo Chaining Procedure Compared to POV-VM Chaining Procedure to Teach a Task to Children with Autism
… and social skills (Gardner & Wolfe, 2013). Chaining is an effective intervention for teaching individuals with disabilities a variety of skills (Cuvo, Leaf, & Borakove, 1978; Horner & Keilitz, 1975; Shrestha, Anderson, & Moore, 2013; Tarbox, Madrid, Aguilar, Jacobo, & Schiff, 2009). Video …

Identifying and modeling urban truck daily tour-chaining patterns
… and develop models that can describe daily tour-chaining patterns. This research uses truck activity data collected for the Urban Freight Heavy Vehicle Study ongoing in Singapore, which is an advancement in freight data collection studies. The data contain individual truck's Global Positioning …

Response of Pinyon-juniper woodlands to fire, chaining, and hand thinning
… look at the effects of fire, hand thinning, and chaining. The four burns examined together in Chapter 1 had similar elevation, precipitation, and pre-treatment vegetation communities in the untreated areas, but the treated areas had significantly different responses to treatment. With nonmetric …

A Comparison of the Effectiveness of Forward and Backward Chaining Procedures with Retarded Children
… to indicate the conditions under which backward chaining procedures are most effective. This study compared the effectiveness of backward and forward chaining procedures with retarded children on a telephone dialing task. Procedure. Four retarded children were taught to dial telephone numbers …

Scalable Reasoning for Knowledge Bases Subject to Changes
… commonly used in first order logic: forward chaining and backward chaining. As a general rule, forward chaining is a good method for a static knowledge base and backward chaining is good for the more dynamic cases. The goal of this thesis was to design a hybrid reasoning architecture and …

A Comparison of Modified Food Chaining and Simultaneous Presentation Plus Nonremoval of the Spoon to Treat Food Selectivity in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
… version of a commonly used treatment, food chaining, and an empirically validated ABA treatment to treat the food selectivity of 2 children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). For both children, consumption of the target foods only increased during the ABA-treatment condition. We …

Automated analysis of security APIs
… problem. In 2000, Bond et al. discovered API- chaining and type-confusion attacks on hardware security modules used in large banking systems. While these first attacks were found through human inspection of the API specifications, we take the approach of modeling these APIs formally and using …

Message Authentication Codes On Ultra-Low SWaP Devices
… authentication codes (HMAC) and cipher-block-chaining message authentication code (CBC-MAC). The most important thing about ultra-low SWaP devices is their energy usage. This thesis measures different implementations' execution times on ultra-low SWaP devices. We could understand which …

Computational study of self-assembly in block copolymer/superparamagnetic nanoparticle composites under external magnetic fields
… for the blocks. For symmetric block copolymers, chaining of superparamagnetic nanoparticles under in-plane magnetic fields is shown to achieve long range orientational order of the block copolymer nanodomains and is found to be dependent on nanoparticle size, volume fraction and magnetization …

Expert systems for disaster forecasting warning recovery and response in water resources management
… the relative benefits of forward and backward chaining inferential logic in these scenarios. Based on the outcome of the conceptual systems, we develop three complete backward chaining expert systems, respectively. With extensible knowledge bases combined with the information provided by the …

A Rule Based Expert System Framework for Small Water Systems
… use, both data-driven questions (forward chaining) and goal-driven questions (backward chaining) need to be supported. Similarly, an avenue to update rules in the system as and when they change without major recompilation should be available. In this thesis we present an expert system …

Incremental validation of policy-based systems
… when a new rule is added to the system. "Trigger chaining" is a concept introduced in this thesis that examines which policies are triggered by the firing of a particular policy. This concept leads to new kinds of conflicts. An algorithm is suggested for incremental detection of such conflicts and …

Generic templates for monitoring agents
… can be used to define Monitoring Pipelines by chaining individual processing steps. Furthermore this work demonstrates how a graphical editor can be implemented which also allows non-experts in the field of monitoring to create and modify Monitoring Templates.
