Toward a Domain Theory of Fluent Oral Reading with Expression
… and ordering constitutes the beginnings of a domain theory of fluent oral reading with expression (FORE) which provides an empirical description of the developmental sequence of progressive attainments that the average learner achieves on the two primary dimensions.

An exploration of empowerment amongst final-yearundergraduate nursing students while onclinical placement in Ireland usingSocial Domain Theory
… was employed using Layder’s adaptive and social domain theories (2005; 2006). Focus group interviews were conducted with 43 (n=43) undergraduate nursing students in one college providing nursing education in Ireland. Interview data was analysed and findings suggest that preceptors are pivotal to …

Knowledge-based learning: Integration of deductive and inductive learning for knowledge base completion
… and similarity-based learning operate over a domain theory and a set of examples, respectively, but neither approach makes extensive use of both forms of knowledge. Many problems in engineering and other areas can provide a learning system with an incomplete domain theory and a limited set of …

An incremental curative learning approach for planning with incorrect domain theories
Incorrect domain theories, and the flawed plans derived from them, are an inescapable aspect of planning in the real world. Previous learning approaches to the incorrect domain theory problem have relied on diagnosing failures to determine fixes to the domain theory to prevent the failures in the …

Logical presentations of domains
This thesis combines a fairly general overview of domain theory with a detailed examination of recent work which establishes a connection between domain theory and logic. To start with, the theory of domains is developed with such issues as the semantics of recursion and iteration; the solution of …

Universal domains for sequential computation
Classical recursion theory asserts that all conventional programming languages are equally expressive because they can define all partial recursive functions over the natural numbers. However, most real programming languages support some form of higher-order data such as potentially infinite …

Iterated Phantom Induction: A Little Knowledge Can Go a Long Way
… is also tested in a more complex bicycle-riding domain. A natural domain theory is derived which satisfies the convergence conditions. Utilizing this knowledge through the iterated phantom induction approach yields dramatic improvements over previous results.

Process-based diagnosis: An approach to understanding novel failures
… process-centered models of Qualitative Process Theory makes the application of model-based diagnostic techniques both non-trivial and rewarding. Rather than relying on explicit fault models, this approach utilizes a general domain theory to model the broken device. Given a sufficiently broad …

Threats to Autonomy from Emerging ICT’s
… need to introduce elements of General Systems Theory in order to account for ICT’s as socio-technical systems. The first two publications for evaluation present arguments from marxist and capitalist perspectives which provide an account of the social dimensions through which an ICT can reduce …

Issues in Frequency Domain Feedback Control Theory (Robustness, Sensitivity, Systems, Multi-Variable)
… is to examine several issues in the frequency domain theory of feedback control systems. Properties of both single loop and multiple loop systems are considered. For single loop systems the limitations on feedback properties imposed by right half plane poles and zeros of the plant are …

The Integration of Explanation-Based Learning and Fuzzy Control in the Context of Software Assurance as Applied to Modular Avionics
… for the derivation of new control laws. The EBL domain theory embodies general control strategies, which are specialised to form fuzzy rules. A method for translating explanation structures into fuzzy rules is presented. The generation of specific rules, from a general control strategy, is one …

The requirements analysis & design for a clinical information system: a formal approach
… that is being supported (also called the domain in the thesis). This is perhaps the fundamental requirement of an information system: that it represents the organisation and processes it is to support. To assess the degree to which a design satisfies this requirement entails the …

Design of fully digital inductors for low bandwidth filter applications
… we present a digital inductor based on time-domain signal processing. This approach uses the phase-domain theory that is well-known and understood in the fields of clocking and serial links and applies it to analog circuit design. By using a ring oscillator to integrate the input voltage and …

Creating ‘community’ through criminal justice policy: Engaging citizens and determining responsibility

On Games on Non-Wellfounded Sets and Stationary Sets
… sets moving back to classical wellfounded set theory. We also describe a way to approximate non-wellfounded sets with hereditarily finite wellfounded sets. The framework used to do this is domain theory. In the Banach-Mazur game, also called the ideal game, the players play a descending …

The moral education curriculum and policy in Chinese junior high schools: changes and challenges
… and instructional materials was conducted. The domain theory approach proposed by Turiel was adopted to analyze the existing problems of moral education in China. The results indicated that participants' experience had a significant effect on their view of the moral curriculum and teaching …

A mathematical formulation of intelligent agents and their activities
… has been solved satisfactorily in a number of domains, new techniques and formalisms are still being devised that are applicable in fields as diverse as digital filter design and software engineering. These methods, however, are often computationally intensive, and the heavy reliance on numeric …

The Development of Judgments and Beliefs about Homosexuality
This study assessed children's (5-year-olds, 7-8-year-olds, and 10-11-year-olds), adolescents' (13-14-year-olds), and their parents' beliefs about same-sex relationships. In particular, participants' beliefs about the acceptability and legal regulation of homosexuality, their beliefs about …

Meandering river dynamics
… Our predictions for non-periodic finite-domains constitute the first correct explanation of behavior observed in flumes, where a fixed inlet leads to the long-term decay of all meanders. We show that a continuous perturbation is required for sustained meandering. With a driven …

Advancing landscape sustainability science using scalable spatio-temporal landscape analytics with big data and machine learning
