An Examination of the Perceptions of Decision Makers Regarding Challenging Behaviors Which May Lead to Special Education Placements
… factors to suggest a low special education identification rate for students with challenging behaviors, as is the case in their district. Most noteworthy was the interview with the special education director who expressed a strong belief that students should be educated in the general …

Use of a Novel Combination of Multiplex PCR and DNA Barcoding in Assessing Authenticity of Ginseng Products
… products, while multiplex PCR had an overall 58% identification rate. The use of both methods resulted in a 70% species identification success rate. In addition to improving the overall identification rate, the use of both methods allowed for greater species resolution and the detection of …

Multiscale Image Analysis for the Automated Localisation of Taxonomic Landmark Points and the Identification of Species of Parasitic Wasp
Automating the identification of biological specimens from 2D image data poses difficult problems given the natural variation, specimen damage and background clutter that can exist. The tools used by taxonomists tend to be manual or semi-automated, where the operator locates salient image features …

Patterns of protein expression in tissues of the killifish, Fundulus heteroclitus and Fundulus grandis
… studies on the proteomic responses of vertebrates to environmental stress. Chapter 2 focuses on measurement of the temporal effects of oxygen treatments on the maximal specific activities of nine glycolytic enzymes in liver and skeletal muscle during chronic exposure (28d) of Fundulus …

A high performance automatic face recognition system using 3D shape information
… based on the nose tip localization with an identification rate of almost 100% on FRGC 3D face database. Secondly, a face aligned approach is implemented by applying a combination of methods including Principal Component Analysis(PCA) face correction, Iterative Closest Point algorithms(ICP) …

Evaluation of medical alarm sounds
… noise did not have much effect on the correct identification rate. However, the confusion between the alarms sounds was significantly higher when background noise was present. Additionally the volunteers rated each alarm sound in terms of annoyance and urgency factor. Statistically significant …

Algorithms for Peptide Identification from Mixture Tandem Mass Spectra
… which, one particular challenge is that the identification rate of the MS/MS spectra collected is rather low. One significant reason that contributes to this situation is the frequently observed mixture spectra, which result from the concurrent fragmentation of multiple precursors in a single …

Compressive gait biometric with wireless distributed pyroelectric sensors
… path, or just randomly inside a room, with an identification rate higher than 80% for around 10 subjects. For the human recognition system, innovations and adaptations are developed in: (1) sampling structure, multiple modified two-column sensor nodes are engaged to leverage the ability of …

Acoustic Approaches to Gender and Accent Identification
… Although this is a similar problem to language identification, di�erent accents of a language exhibit more fine-grained di�erences between classes than languages. This presents a tougher problem for traditional classification techniques. In this thesis, we propose and evaluate a number of …

Assessing the Re-Identification Risk in ECG Datasets and an Application of Privacy Preserving Techniques in ECG Analysis
… the use of ECG signal as a biometric in human identification systems using deep learning models. We train convolutional neural network models on ECG samples from approximately 81k patients. Our models achieved an over-all accuracy of 95.69%. Further, we assess the accuracy of our ECG …

A hybrid haptic stimulation prosthetic wearable device to recover the missing sensation of the upper limb amputees
… and object temperature to the amputees with high identification accuracy by mean of using the designed hybrid pressure-vibration-temperature feedback wearable device. An evaluation of sensation and response has been conducted on forty healthy volunteers to evaluate the ability of the haptic system …

Facial Identification of Children: A Test of Automated Facial Recognition and Manual Facial Comparison Techniques on Juvenile Face Images
The accurate identification of children from facial photographs could provide a great attribute in the fight against child sexual exploitation, and may also aid in the detection of missing juveniles where comparative material is available. The European Commission is actively pursuing a global …

Determining the mechanism of protein transit through the peptidoglycan layer in Gram-positive bacteria and identifying phage-docking sites on Clostridium perfringens
… only 186 mutants of interest were found (<0.1% identification rate). Through the use of various genetic techniques, 28 genes have been identified that lead to the lack-of-secretion phenotype. These genes encode various proteins including transcription regulators, sporulation factors, …
