Visual search strategy and interception accuracy
… I addressed the questions of how visual search strategy and interception accuracy are influenced by constraints. Two experiments, manipulating spatial and temporal target motion configuration, assessed the role of constraints in interceptive aiming in interception accuracy and gaze …

Buyer's Choice of Online Search Strategy and Its Implications for E -Markets
This research empirically investigates the validity of economics theory of information search in explaining buyers' choice of online search strategy and applies this theory to develop a mathematical model that is used to estimate the probability distribution of a buyer's online search strategy …

A quasi-model-independent search strategy for new high-pT physics at Tevatron Run II
… are all over the map. A quasi-model-independent search strategy for new physics (SLEUTH) was introduced in Tevatron Run I to allow a probe of high-pT hadron collider data. This dissertation prescribes the SLEUTH algorithm that will be used in Tevatron Run II. Improvements over the Run I algorithm …

A knowledge-based simulation optimization system with machine learning
… system is formulated to guide the search strategy selection process in simulation optimization. This system includes a framework for machine learning which enhances the knowledge base and thereby improves the ability of the system to guide optimizations. Response surfaces (i.e., the …

An object-oriented framework for extensible query optimization
… This thesis also makes a clear separation of the search strategy and the search tree. This separation conforms to a design convention, that is, to separate interface from implementation. We believe this separation promotes the reusability of the system and is good for clarity. Also, we define a …

Decentralized planning for autonomous agents cooperating in complex missions
… vehicles remains an important and challenging research topic. This thesis focuses on decentralized planning for autonomous agents performing complex missions. These types of missions often involve a set of tasks, each representing a component of the mission. Task planning algorithms may be used …

Water Maze Strategies used by Mice Exposed to Radiation and Pomegranate Juice
… stress in specific areas in the brain. Research has shown that radiation affects the hippocampus, which is responsible for relational/contextual types of learning and memory. Spatial learning and memory is one type of relational learning that is easy to study in animals. The water maze is …

Employer search and employee quality
Recent research on labor markets has focused on the ability of the firm to influence the productivity of its employees. While most of this research has concentrated on the structure of the compensation package the employer can offer its employees, there has also been interest in the employer's …

Hybrid algorithms for distributed constraint satisfaction.
… into two families of algorithms: systematic search and local search. Systematic search algorithms are complete but may take exponential time. Local search algorithms often converge quicker to a solution for large problems but are incomplete. Problem solving could be improved through using …

A modified flower pollination algorithm and carnivorous plant algorithm for solving engineering optimization problem
… the diversity of the initial population in the search space, (ii) replacing FPA’s local search strategy with frog leaping algorithm to improve intensification, and (iii) integrating inertia weight into FPA’s global search strategy to adjust the searching ability of the global strategy, were …

Relación entre control en el trabajo y la satisfacción laboral en el personal de la salud
… of burnout. Therefore, the aim of this research is to identify the relationship between job control or job autonomy and job satisfaction. In order to this, a review has been performed, specifying the inclusion, exclusion and search strategy criteria, in which 805 articles were reviewed in …

Job search strategies and social networks : evidence from the Khayelitsha
… factors which determine the choice of the search method used by the unemployed in looking for jobs. In line with the existing literature on job search in South Africa we identify that job search is constrained by the low probability of finding a job and the cost of job search. Especially in …

Improving High Sensitivity GNSS Receiver Performance in Multipath Environments for Vehicular Applications
… distribution will eventually affect the search strategy (i.e., search space size, coherent integration time) utilized in the high sensitivity receiver. Multipath directional-dependence phenomenon (i.e., the variation resulting from the direction of travel of the user) is observed during …

Longitudinal Behavioral Assessment of Neonatal Traumatic Brain Injury
… spatial learning, and less efficient spatial search strategy use compared with sham animals. These differences were consistent and stable up to 8 months post-injury, suggesting that deficits acquired as the result of a TBI can have long-lasting behavioral impacts.

The effect of repetitive subconcussive head impacts on observed physiological, biochemical, and functional perturbances in the brain in high school and collegiate football players: a systematic literature review
… telemetry were outcomes of interest. Our initial search strategy identified 564 articles. After restricting to articles focused on subjects aged 13 to 24 years, 151 articles remained. Finally, articles were limited to the past five years of publication (2009 – current). We evaluated preseason, …

Probabilistic search: a Bayesian approach in a continuous workspace
This thesis considers the problem of modeling search for a single, non-moving target in a continuous environment, where the search agent's only observations are obtained from a binary sensor. To model this problem, the widely used Bayesian filtering approach is employed to obtain the general …

What sixth-graders do when they read to answer questions, and how that affects their learning
… of which included answering adjunct questions. Research questions asked what procedures students would follow in reading to answer their questions, which procedures would be most effective in learning, and how students would differ by group in how they used their time to answer their questions. …
