Adaptive step-size selection for tau-leaping simulation of stochastic particle coalescence
… and accep- tance criteria for use with the tau leaping method for stochastically simulat- ing the particle coalescence problem. Existing work provides leap selection procedures for pre-leap methods and leap acceptance criteria for post-leap methods. These existing methods have been primarily …

Leaping Behavior In Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys Molitrix): Analysis Of Burst Swimming Speeds, Angle Of Escape, Height, And Distance Of Leaps
… a range of sizes and areas, revealed that the leaping abilities of Silver Carp are greater than previously estimated, and demonstrated differences in leap characteristics across populations of carp.

Determining muscle-tendon characteristics and function of stretch-shortening cycle performance in dancers
… SSC performance, like saut de chat leaping. Furthermore, ankle-specific strength and conditioning tactics to simultaneously improve maximal strength capacity, MTU properties, and saut de chat leaping performance have yet to be investigated in dancers. Therefore, this thesis was …

Variance reduction for Poisson and Markov jump processes
… to the generation of Poisson variates in the tau-leaping time-stepping method for Markov processes. Both antithetical and stratified sampling variance-reduction techniques are considered for Poisson mean estimation, and a hybridization of them is developed that has lower variance than either for …

Ecological Pressures Selecting for Singing Behavior in Primates
… literature. Theoretical elements from the leaping and arboreal hypotheses from the primate origins literature were brought to bear on vocal display data from extant primates and on theories on the function of song in animals and music in humans. Specifically, I used computational …

The lived experience of African American female caregivers in a community-based support program: A Heideggerian Hermeneutic study
… emerged: tradition, maneuvering, religion, and leaping-in/leaping-ahead. The practice of centering presented as the major finding of the research. This pattern exemplified how maintaining a balance became pervasive in the lives of the caregivers and linked the other relational themes. Other new …

Bearing witness to distress as breathlessness : a hermeneutic phenomenological study
… thrownness, machination, being-with, leaping in and leaping ahead as solicitude and the state of the uncanny and then attuning to the mood of the interviews. This unconcealed the complexity of care by illuminating both the challenge and burden of bearing witness to distress as …

The hydrodynamics of water-walking insects and spiders
… alternating tripod gait, rowing, galloping and leaping. We also examine quasi-static modes of propulsion in which the insect's legs are kept stationary: specifically, Marangoni propulsion and meniscus-climbing. Special attention is given to rationalizing the propulsion mechanisms of …

A Life Disrupted: Still Lived
… daily gains. Heidegger's language of care as leaping in and leaping ahead more closely depicted nursing's goal of intervening in the day-to-day needs, as well as the long-range goal of self-empowerment. Additionally, despite literature that conceptualizes a lost or disintegrating self, almost …

Large-Scale Constraint-Based Pattern Mining
… set. The essential idea of pattern fusion and leaping toward large patterns is then extended to the cases of sequential and graph data. In sequential data, we developed a novel algorithm to accommodate approximate patterns. For graph data, we proposed the concept of spiders and used these …

Rationalization of bathroom service sub-systems in high-rise public housing
… rationalize our construction methods instead of leaping directly into industrialized ones, a situation which has been taken for granted by both the government and the private sectors as a remedy for the current housing shortage dilemma, this thesis tries to rationalize conventional Taiwanese …

INSTRUMENTAL ADVANCES IN CAPILLARY ELECTROPHORESIS MASS SPECTROMETRY FOR TRACE-SENSITIVE PROTEOMICS
… this dissertation contributes to the leaping development of CE-MS for proteomics.Chapter 1 overviews the background, current state and challenges of capillary electrophoresis mass spectrometry proteomics and explains research motivation. Chapter 2 introduces methodology combining …

Positional behavior and habitat use of Peters’ Angola black and white colobus monkey (Colobus angolensis palliatus) in structurally distinct areas of the Diani Forest, Kenya
… and relatively equal instances of climbing and leaping. Sitting represented the overwhelming majority of postures and accounted for at least 85% of postural observations for all troops. I conclude that, because significant differences in activity, strata use, support use, but not positional …

Stochastic modelling of gene regulation with microRNAs
… different systems. The Langevin Equation and Tau-Leaping methods (for which Matlab codes are developed here) are shown to be excellent approximations to the Gillespie Algorithm.

Optimization-based control and planning for highly dynamic legged locomotion in complex environments
… whether it be running down a steep hill or leaping between branches. To harness part of the animal agility to the legged robot would unlock potential applications such as disaster response and planetary exploration. The unique challenge of these tasks is that the robot has to produce highly …

The Leopard Men of the Eastern Congo (ca. 1890-1940): history and colonial representation
… singled out to support the colonial discourse, leaping into fiction. Leopard men accounts are structured after culturally effective traditions of narration, presenting the civilising project as a moral victory of good over bad. Leopard men became an epistemological category, a morally inferior, …

Water resources decision making using meta-heuristic optimization methods
… It also included developing the shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA), a meta-heuristic optimization technique for solving discrete/combinatorial problems, and its application to aid decision making in water supply and distribution system optimization issues. SFLA is a memetic, meta-heuristic …

The Art of Modeling and Simulation of Multiscale Biochemical Systems
… species that cause stiffness for the Tau-Leaping method, as well as two stiffness reduction methods. The efficiency is demonstrated by applying this new strategy on a stiff decaying dimerization model and a heat shock protein regulation model.
