Exploring construction process simulation as part of the digital twin concept in real-world contexts
… a framework to establish a systematic flow of real-time data. This framework includes three advanced analytics-based methods to convert raw data into quantitative key performance indicators. These methods enable the analysis of real-time data, simulation calibration, and simulation-driven …

From the lab to the living room: examining challenges with the transition of heart rate variability measurement to real world contexts
… in psychophysiological science in laboratory contexts and has been associated with a variety of health outcomes. In order to study patterns of heart rate in laboratory contexts, researchers have measured tonic/resting, and phasic/reactive Heart Rate Variability, hereafter HRV, and advances in …

Real Life Projects with a Focus on the Principles of Realistic Mathematics Education
Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) is an instructional approach that emphasizes connecting concepts to real-world contexts, problem-centered learning, authentic assessment, and reflection. RME engages students in contexts instead of teaching a concept and then asking students to apply it. This …

Towards Ecologically Valid Evaluations of Language Models
… such that experimental results generalize to real-world contexts. However, prior evaluations do not always simulate these use cases appropriately. Specifically, evaluation tasks may lack relevance to practical applications, and evaluation protocols often fail to capture the dynamic, …

Abstraction and application: complementary perspectives on sociotechnical systems
… but are ultimately used for specialized real-world applications; the gap between these levels of design and use often leads to unmet user needs or amplified harms at scale. Addressing this gap benefits from examining the two ends of the methodological spectrum for adapting generalized …

High-Level Test-Driven Learning Using Web Application and Web Service
In order to introduce learning cases with real-world contexts to the Computer Science students in their early stage of learning, a set of Web applications that utilize Web services are simplified and customized to demonstrate the core concept of high-level test-driven learning methodology. Four …

The Geometry and Dynamics of Context
… many attempts to specify what context in the real world is. We use techniques of nonlinear dynamics to characterize the properties of real world contexts. We show that people experience highly repetitive contexts. We compute the correlation dimension of the space of contexts and show that both …

Dimensions Underlying First Impressions of Older Adult Faces by Young and Older Adult Perceivers
… on facial cues have significant consequences in real-world contexts and have the potential to influence how older adults (OAs), a vulnerable population, are treated by others. The present study used a data-driven approach to examine dimensions underlying FIs of OAs and whether those dimensions …

System development technical interactions and innovation : a network-based investigation
… context can be divided into two: theoretical and real world contexts. The theoretical context is developed by reviewing literature at the intersection of networks and innovation, and the real world context is typified by a modular enterprise developing a complex engineering system. Within this …

Data Augmentation and Conformal Prediction
… examples, which limits their applications to real-world contexts. In this thesis, we explore the impact of data augmentation, a popular computer vision technique, on the performance of conformal predictors. In particular, we present multiple ways of combining data augmentation with conformal …

The Experiences Of An Occupational Therapist Delivering Occupation-Based Practice At A Skilled Nursing Facility
… in delivering occupation-based practice in real-world contexts. The findings of this research study are beneficial to the field of occupational therapy because they assist in profession's understanding of why a gap exists between theory and practice of occupational therapy. </p>

Design considerations in manufacturing composite conductors: An exposition of Percolation Theory
… and inquiry by attempting to solve the real real-world problem of designing composite conductors. By making real composite conductors, carrying out various experiments, using computers to do data collecting, and using calculators for subsequent data analysis the reader can participate in …

Tracing the Dynamics of Value-Based Attention: from Generalization to Disengagement
… biases generalize to novel stimuli and contexts. Second, although most studies have focused on attentional capture, less is known about whether value also affects attentional disengagement, that is, the ability to shift attention away from previously rewarded stimuli. Presenting a series …

Eliciting and Aggregating Forecasts When Information is Shared
… the latter two studies examine forecasts in real-world contexts. Overall, the data suggest that a simple minimal pivoting procedure provides an effective aggregation technique that can significantly outperform the crowd average.</p>

Understanding integrated STEM science instruction through the experiences of teachers and students
… reflect on how each discipline operates within real world contexts. Students benefit from the integrated STEM approach because it values students’ real-life experiences and hands-on applications that mirror professional STEM work. However, Integrated STEM instruction remains ill defined, with …

An Invisible Issue of Task Underspecification in Deep Reinforcement Learning Evaluations
… A large class of DRL tasks, particularly in real-world decision problems, induce a family of MDPs, which---perhaps confusingly---each has the same high-level problem definition. As a demonstrative example, consider the classic pendulum control task that could be represented by a family of …

Designing and Deploying Robotic Companions to Improve Human Psychological Wellbeing
… improve people’s psychological wellbeing in real-world contexts. In Study 1, a robotic coach provided seven positive psychology interventions for college students in on-campus dormitory settings and showed significant association with improvements in students’ psychological wellbeing, mood, …

The real deal: Willingness-to-pay and satiety expectations are greater for real foods versus their images
… life, consumers make decisions in the context of real foods that have actual caloric content and afford grasping and consumption. Surprisingly, few studies have compared whether real foods are valued more than 2D images of foods, and in the studies that have, differences in the stimuli and testing …
