Individualized, Computerized Growth Prediction
This investigation was conducted to individualize growth prediction by use of regression formulas and therefore supplement the present method of using mean incremental data obtained from case study. There were 30 normal individuals, ages 8 to 19 years, 14 males and 16 females. Based on the analysis …

Leaders of Change: An Exploration of Relationships Between International School Administrators’ Mindsets and Their Preferred Leadership Styles
… end of the Cold War. There has been exponential growth, especially in China, India, and other developed and developing nations. The quality of leadership in these schools is extremely important to stakeholders, especially students, and, consequently, it is important that those hiring …

Incremental random forest classifiers in spark
… two main strategies for updating random forests incrementally, rather than entirely rebuilding the forests. I implement these two strategies-incrementally growing existing trees and replacing old trees-in Spark Machine Learning(ML), a commonly used library for running ML algorithms in Spark. My …

An Incremental Approach to Development at Gesundheit! Institute
… and what the resources are, I propose to use an incremental approach to growth. The ideas would result in a series of smaller buildings developed over time as opposed to a single larger building. The thesis includes the design for the next major building, a community center/dining hall and a …

Evaluation of a 23-cm (9-in) Minimum Length Limit for Black and White Crappies in Lake Alvin, South Dakota
… limited prey availability for larger fish. Growth of both species declined after implementation of the length limit. In 1999, incremental growth of 6- to 19-cm fish was similar to or faster than growth from pre-treatment samples. However, annual growth increments of 20-cm and mortality will …

New structural interpretation, microstructural analyses, and preliminary monazite geochronology of Proterozoic rocks in the central Manzano Mountains, New Mexico
… grown during tectonic deformation can have incremental growth patterns such as rim and core features. The ability to relate grain orientation to overall fabric of the rocks combined with the ability to obtain geochronological information of individual grains (and individual parts of each …

A Dendrochronological Analysis of Vegetation Change and Climate History in Two Southern Appalachian Balds, Craggy Gardens and Big Bald, NC
… the causal factors, and 2) investigating tree-growth responses of Quercus rubra L. to climatic factors at Craggy Gardens and Big Bald, North Carolina (high elevation forest-grass ecotones). Results indicate that historical grazing and land management have been responsible for vegetation changes …

Utility of Walleyes and Saugeyes as Secondary Predators in Small South Dakota Impoundments
… 1988, and 1999 to evaluate relative survival, growth and their ability to restructure existing panfish communities. Prior to stocking, fish were differentially marked on the right or left side with freeze brands or with 700 ppm oxytetracycline hydrochloride (OTC) to allow accurate …

The synthesis of artificial neural networks using single string evolutionary techniques.
… the sense that the network structure is added to incrementally and thus changes from a simple form to a more complex form. This is unlike the Genetic Algorithm, which causes the structure of the network to evolve in an unstructured or random way. The thesis outlines the following original work: …

Evaluating the efficacy of Tridacna derasa and Hippopus hippopus for measuring ENSO signatures in Palau
… archives in paleoclimate research due to their incremental growth bands, which record environmental conditions such as sea surface temperature (SST) and salinity through variations in oxygen isotopes (δ18O). Their potential for reconstructing past climate variability makes them a critical tool …

Land value taxation as a mechanism to relieve housing supply constraints in Austin, Texas
… all of which upended centuries of measured and incremental growth. Codified separation of distinct land uses required new methods of real estate taxation and enabled new forms of value creation. Time and cost savings in infrastructure construction facilitated exponential growth in the speed at …

The quality of change : growth of a whitewater resort in North Carolina
… a study of change and constancy -- planning for incremental growth in a manner that will give emphasis to the whole and not the increments. The Nantahala Outdoor Center is a center for white water activities in western North Carolina. A portion of each seasons revenues is channeled into improved …

Designing data center networks for high throughput
… in the design of data center networks, such as incremental expansion and heterogeneous design – as more and varied equipment is added to a data center over the years in response to evolving needs, how do we best accommodate such equipment? Our networks can achieve the same incremental growth at …

Analysis of intra-increment pulping and papermaking properties of loblolly pine wood
Loblolly pine growth increments were divided into five fractions; two earlywood a transition and two latewood growth zones. Each growth zone was analyzed for lignin, extractives, and carbohydrate content. Each fraction was digested to four different time schedules using kraft pulping process. All …
