Promoting the Development of an Integrated Numerical Representation through the Coordination of Physical Materials
… use physical and virtual tools to develop new numerical knowledge? While concrete instructional materials may support the delivery of novel information to learners, they may also over-simplify the task, unintentionally reducing learners' performance in recall and transfer tasks. This reduction …

Calls to be counted: Rhetorics of aggregation and numerical representation in 20th century American democracy
In this dissertation, I examine the role various forms of counting citizens have played in mass campaigns in twentieth-century American political culture. Scholarship in political science, history and rhetorical studies tells us that the census and public opinion polling have long been used to tell …

An Assessment of Number Representation in the Small-Eared Bushbaby (<i>Otolemur garnettii</i>)
… to explain the underlying mechanisms of number representation, both the object-file and the approximate number system have been proposed. Despite the recognition in animals, both nonhuman and human, it remains unclear how numbers are represented cognitively or what system is employed. …

Individual and systemic risk trade-offs induced by information barriers in the financial system
… we provide analytical characterization and numerical representation of the conditions under which diversification activity under limited information may amplify systemic risk and finally we observe and highlight a discrepancy that is created between actual and perceived risk for increasing …

Reading between the numbers: the colonial rhetorics of fantasy football and the illusion of control
… procedures of playing fantasy football and the numerical representation of NFL players within the game that serve as the main conduit for visual interactivity. Through a postcolonial lens, I argue that these various rhetorics in fantasy football serve to otherize, commodify, and ultimately …

Multiple Choice Question Answering using a Large Corpus of Information
… the surrounding context. These embeddings are a numerical representation of the language data that can be used in downhill models such as logistic regression. In Chapter 3 I present a novel method to create a domain specific knowledge base that can be querired to answer multiple choice questions …
