A within-subject comparison of stimulus equivalence training.
… are, linear (trains A:B and B:C discrimination), many-to-one (trains B:A and C:A discriminations) , and one-to-many (trains A:B and A:C discriminations). Each training structure trains a different set of simultaneous and successive discriminations that are then needed in the test for derived …

Mechanisms of binding diversity in protein disorder : molecular recognition features mediating protein interaction networks
… interactions, but also have the capability to associate with more than one partner. Short disordered protein fragments, called “molecular recognition features” (MoRFs), were hypothesized to facilitate the binding diversity of highly-connected proteins termed “hubs”. MoRFs often couple …

Smoothness of invariant densities for certain classes of dynamical systems
Under certain conditions a many-to-one transformation of the unit interval into itself possesses a finite invariant ergodic measure equivalent to the Lebesque measure. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate these conditions and to show how differentiable properties of the invariant density …

Adventitious differential reinforcement of emergent sample-specific behavior and common coding in pigeons' matching-to-sample
Matching-to-sample performance is enhanced if responses to the sample stimuli are required, and further enhanced if different responses are required to the different samples. Even when not required, differentiated sample responding may emerge spontaneously, either overtly or as an hypothesized …

Software architecture for anti-submarine warfare unmanned surface vehicles
The U.S. Navy seeks to reduce costs associated with anti-submarine warfare (ASW) operations by exploring the use of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs). Currently, the process of finding submarines tends to be tedious and manpower intensive due to the high volume of acoustic data with limited means to …

Analysis of Transfer Coordination in Flexible-Route Bus Services
… the conventional fixed-route bus system has led to excessive reliance on private cars, worsening traffic congestion and air pollution. However, a flexible bus route can provide passengers with a convenient, expedient, cost-effective commuting option. This thesis studies a flexible bus system with …

Parametric Inversion of Programs
… Parametric inversion takes a new approach to solving inverse problems by proposing a method to make a non-injective (many-to-one) function invertible through a parameter. This parameter is used to distinguish between elements in the input space of a function that produced a given output. …

Essays on economic design and coalition formation
… The first chapter studies the stability of many-to-one matching, such as matching between students and colleges or interns and hospitals. Complementarities and peer effects are inherent in many such matching situations. The chapter provides the first sufficient condition for stability that …

Towards an Execution Optimization in Serverless Functions Through a Spatial-Temporal Orchestration Mechanism for Context Sharing in Highly Concurrent Conditions
… Functions, and Google Cloud Functions, emerged to provide an environment to deploy function-based applications with minimal intervention from the developer. Although this new paradigm aims to create the right environment to improve developer velocity, the capacity to scale complex multi-tenant …

Secure Minimum Time Data Collection (SMTDC) protocol for wireless sensor networks
Recent work has shown that a mobile data collector moving along a predefined trajectory can improve the real-time data collection duration and efficiency in wireless sensor networks (WSN). Due to the fixed trajectory and limited communication range, data collection is conducted using a many-to-one …

Comparison of distributed training architecture for convolutional neural network in cloud
… the computations over several machines. Due to the internode communication and other overheads in distributed computing infrastructure, the performance improvements are not directly proportional to the number of machines. This thesis will study the computation time, memory, bandwidth, and …

Integration of Wireless Sensor Network with CubeSat Satellite System for Enhanced Agricultural Monitoring
Direct-to-Satellite (DtS) uplinks by many low-power devices create a classic many-to-one contention problem during short visibility windows. This work proposes a hierarchical mesh→gateway→satellite architecture and a lightweight contention-mitigation protocol that combines randomized backoff with a …

Integrating Shape-from-Shading & Stereopsis
… surface orientation and lighting information to irradiance. As irradiance and lighting information are provided this is the problem of inverting a many to one function to get surface orientation. Surface orientation may be integrated to get depth. Stereopsis matches pixels between two images …

Effect of training structures on the establishment of equivalence classes in college students and individuals with intellectual disabilities
… the effects of two types of training structures, One-To-Many (OTM) (AB, AC, AD), and Many-To-One (MTO) (BA, CA, DA), on the establishment of equivalence classes in college students. A between group comparison was used in Experiment 1. Forty-two participants were randomly assigned to two different …

Optimization of headway, stops, and time points considering stochastic bus arrivals
With the capability to transport a large number of passengers, public transit acts as an important role in congestion reduction and energy conservation. However, the quality of transit service, in terms of accessibility and reliability, significantly affects model choices of transit users. …

Software Switching for High Throughput Data Acquisition Networks
The bursty many-to-one communication pattern, typical for data acquisition systems, is particularly demanding for commodity TCP/IP and Ethernet technologies. The problem arising from this pattern is widely known in the literature as incast and can be observed as TCP throughput collapse. It is a …
