A Developmental, Sequential Method of Teaching Library Skills to Student Librarians
… and tested the success of a developmental, sequential series of study units to teach skills useful in the library. The units were used to train student librarians, and to develop library skills in students with little or-no previous acquaintance with the reference tools and resources of the …

Non-linear optimized cash flow model
… shifting are done in a linear, independent, and sequential method. This linear front-end loading and activity shifting formulation will likely not produce an ideal optimized solution. This research examines the combination of the two linear procedures into a single non-linear formulation to …

Food adulteration detection using neural networks
… we use these representations to develop a sequential method that has the capability to improve prediction accuracy as new observations are introduced. The results outline a promising direction in the use of machine learning techniques to aid in the detection of adulterants in food.

O papel da estampa didática na formação artística na Academia Imperial de Belas Artes: O acervo do Museu D.João VI
… used in the initial design of instruction, in a sequential method of teaching, divided into three major steps: copies of prints of sculptures of classical antiquity, from the anatomical parts to the whole body; copies of prints of compositions of old masters; and, finally, copies of prints from …

Computer control of machines utilising independent drive mechanisms
The thesis describes an investigation into methods for the specification, design and implementation of computer control systems for flexible manufacturing machines comprising multiple, independent, electromechanically-driven mechanisms. An analysis is made of the elements of conventional …

Robust control of cost impact on fast-tracking building construction projects
The fast-tracking delivery method has received considerable attention in recent years. Its time saving feature has placed it as an alternative to the sequential method. Effective fast-tracking may shorten delivery time and lower project costs. However, it should be highlighted that fast tracking …

Contributions to experimental design for quality control
… by Taguchi provides a new quality control method which can reduce cost-effectively the product variation due to various uncontrollable noise factors such as product deterioration, manufacturing imperfections, and environmental factors under which a product is actually used. This …

Microwave-assisted sequential extraction of polyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and potentially toxic elements from urban environmental solids
A method has been developed for the sequential extraction and determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and potentially toxic elements (PTEs) from urban substrates using microwave-assisted micellar extraction, the BCR sequential extraction procedure (BCR-SEP) and microwave-assisted …

New Methods for the Detection and Interception of Unknown, Frequency-Hopped Waveforms
Three new methods for the detection and interception of frequency-hopped waveforms are presented. The first method extends the optimal, fixed-block detection method based on the likelihood ratio to a sequential one based on the Sequential Probability Ratio Test (SPRT). The second method is …

High-dimensional Online Changepoint Detection
… changepoints. In Chapter 2, we introduce a novel method for high-dimensional, online changepoint detection in settings where a multivariate data stream may undergo a change in mean. The procedure works by performing Gaussian likelihood ratio tests against simple alternatives of different scales in …

Partial Update Adaptive Filtering
… complexity is applying partial update (PU) method to adaptive filters. A partial update method can reduce the adaptive algorithm complexity by updating part of the weight vector instead of the entire vector or by updating part of the time. An analysis for different PU adaptive filter …

Power System Resilience Enhancement Using Artificial Intelligence
… curtailment due to these outages and offering methods for grid hardening. Initially, two machine learning based prediction methods are proposed to determine the potential outage of power grid components in response to an imminent hurricane, namely a second order logistic regression model and a …

Real-time data assimilation in nonlinear dynamical systems
… thesis is to develop real-time data assimilation methods, which are applied to create digital twins of thermoacoustic instabilities. Central to digital twins are physics-based low-order models and experimental data. On the one hand, low-order models are computationally cheap, but they may be …

A Parallel Boundary Conforming Method on Adaptive Moving Meshes for Multiphase Flows
… presents a novel parallel boundary conforming method for simulating two-dimensional incompressible flows on adaptive moving unstructured meshes. The proposed method is especially helpful for studying immiscible multiphase flow problems as the interfaces are represented explicitly by mesh lines, …
