Numerical representations of fluid mixing
The work contained within this thesis is concerned with a theoretical investigatiop of both laminar and thermally driven types of cavity flow, together with an analysis of their associated mixing processes which find applications to Industrial mixing and also to the environment. The mixing …

DOMAIN-SPECIFIC AND DOMAIN-GENERAL INFLUENCES ON EARLY MATHEMATICAL SKILLS: A LONGITUDINAL STUDY
… the “Precise Number System” for small precise numerical representations, and the “Approximate Number System” for imprecise numerical representations (Feigenson, Dehaene, & Spelke, 2004). The efficiency of these systems has been individually associated with numerical competence (Mazzocco, …

Modeling the scalability of acrylic stream programs
… by testing a series of stream benchmarks on our numerical representations of the two models. These numbers are then compared to actual speedups obtained by running the benchmarks through the Raw machine and a Magic network. Using the metrics, we show that stateless acyclic stream programs benefit …

Comparative Studies of Numerical Cognition in Nonhuman Primates: From Numerical Comparison to Arithmetic
… field has been on providing existence proofs of numerical competence in wide-ranging taxa or using individual species as models for comparisons with humans. Recent findings in numerical cognition have suggested that evidence for approximate numerical abilities in nonhuman species may indicate …

Getting to the heart of the matter: Understanding relational satisfaction in modern-day couples
… The qualitative data were also transposed into numerical representations to identify statistical differences and correlations between groups. The researcher identified a few significant and potentially significant demographic factors that merit further investigation including: gender, sexual …

From Magnitudes to Math: Developmental Precursors of Quantitative Reasoning
… number symbolically, we also possess nonverbal representations of quantity that are present at birth and shared with many other animal species. These primitive numerical representations are thought to arise from an evolutionarily ancient system termed the Approximate Number System (ANS). The …

SVMAUD: Using textual information to predict the audience level of written works using support vector machines
… and the Dale-Chall Reading Ease Score, rely on numerical representations of text characteristics, including syllable counts and sentence lengths, to suggest audience level of resources. However, the author's chosen vocabulary, sentence structure, and even the page formatting can alter the …

The application of adaptive mesh modelling techniques to the study of open ocean deep convection
… difficult. As a result, theoretical and numerical investigations have become key to the development of our understanding of OODC. The scale on which OODC occurs presents a further issue, with traditional numerical representations (parameterisations) of OODC in global circulation models …
