Coping with computers
The purpose of this study was to describe and understand the meaning of responses of study participants to interactive computer-mediated communication within a distance learning environment. The theoretical framework for this study was based on collaborative learning theories within a …

Computers and Families
As we move into the new millennium, computers will increasingly become part of the human culture. As such, computers will continue to effect families, and there will undoubtedly be a proliferation of computer usage across family types. Because computers will be an integral part of change in the …

Instrumentation for quantum computers
… realizations of up to seven-qubit NMR quantum computers have acutely illustrated how quantum circuits require extremely precise control instrumentation for pulsed excitation. In this thesis, we develop two general-purpose, low-cost pulse programmers and two Class E power amplifiers, designed …

Simulating biochemical physics with computers
This dissertation is composed of three parts. The first part is to argue the solvent effects on the solvatochromic shift of the n ! !* excitation of acetone in ambient and supercritical water fluid using a hybrid QM!CI/MM potential in MC simulations. The solute is described by the AM1 approach and …

DIRTY COMPUTERS: EROTIC DATA POETICS
… the stories told by the data’s subject. Dirty Computers: Erotic Data Poetics turns to Black womanist poetics to glean an alternative ideological framework for collecting, analyzing, and using data. In this dissertation, I argue that queer womanist writer Audre Lorde’s concept of the erotic …

Context awareness for wearable computers
The research described in this thesis considers mobile technology with particular reference to the use of context sensing. It is argued that such technologies are useful to enhance user proficiency in everyday tasks. A wearable, context–aware computer system and a set of evaluation tasks are …

Organization of industrial control computers
The efficient use of industrial control computers is recognized as an organizational problem akin to the traffic-switching problem in communications. A systematic approach to this problem is proposed, based on theory developed for the handling of telephone traffic. The application of the approach …

Computers and literacy in Senegal
… culture on the way children learn to use computers. The second study looks at two groups of illiterate adult women: one In Dakar and the other made up of immigrants from Latin America living in Boston. I believe that my results cast some light on scientific questions about how cultures …

Computers, talk and learning : using computers to help coach reasoning through talk across the curriculum
The main theme of this thesis is the role of computers as a support for reasoning through talk in the classroom. A second, closely linked, theme is the role of reasoning through talk in general intellectual development.<br></br><br></br>In the first part of the thesis the two areas of the teaching …

Turing machines, computers and artificial intelligence
… of computing machines in general. Modern digital computers, which are based on the von Neuman architecture, can typically be programmed so that they interact effectively with the real word. It is argued that digital computing machines are supersets of Turing machines, if they are, for example, …

Machine-Aware Enhancing of Quantum Computers
… arbitrary unitary transformations in quantum computers. This helps to reduce the depth and hence the noise of quantum circuits. These protocols replace long gate circuits, which are the result of decomposing a unitary operator into a sequence of elementary transformations, with a single …

Automatic digital scaling of analog computers
The purpose of this work is to develop an algorithm for use on a small digital computer in the conversational mode. This algorithm to scale and determine the patching configuration for the simulation of any system on an analog computer. Further, this should be in a form suitable for the …

Photonic quantum computers and communication systems
Quantum information processors have been proposed to solve classically intractable or unsolvable problems in computing, sensing, and secure communication. There has been growing interest in photonic implementations of quantum processors as they offer relatively long coherence lengths, precise state …
