Planning large-scale agile development using a dependency structure mapping model
… thesis looks at one such technique - Dependency Structure Mapping (DSM) - in order to address a set of identified limitations of the program increment (PI) planning activity within SAFe. In doing so, this thesis illustrates how dependency data are assembled into a DSM model for a PI. It then …

Point mutational examination of eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E), inclusion bodies analysis, and Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus (BYDV) exonuclease resistant RNA structure mapping and prediction
… factor 4E (eIF4E) binds the 5’m7GTP cap structure of mRNA in order to facilitate effective translation. Recessive eIF4E alleles harboring naturally occurring point mutations have been associated with resistance to viral infection, particularly in members of the genus Potyvirus. Resistance …

Finding analogies in semantic networks using the singular value decomposition
… reduction to find the most salient relation structures among the domains. Relation structures are systems of relations similar to the structures mapped between domains in structure mapping[6]. These structures are effectively n-ary relations formed by combining multiple pairwise relations. …

Finding the commonalities: The role of analogical mapping during similarity judgments
… of the similarity comparison process using the Structure Mapping Engine (Falkenhainer, Forbus and Gentner, 1989), a computer implementation of Gentner's (1983) structure-mapping theory of analogy. The simulations indicate that salient object commonalities yield a preference for mappings based on …

The Epistemology of Artefact Comparisons in Early Greek Natural Philosophy and Medicine
… Various thinkers frequently employed the structure and/or functioning of man-made artefacts to improve their understanding of a target domain in which direct observation is hindered or impossible, such as in meteorology, cosmology, or human physiology. My thesis mainly focusses on …

The role of syntactic and discourse information in verb learning
… verbs. The results confirm a key prediction of structure-mapping account (Fisher, 1996) suggesting that syntactic bootstrapping might begin with an unlearned bias to assign each noun in the sentence to a core participant-role in conceptual representations of events. Experiments 4 and 5 (Chapter …

Robust Optimization and Groundwork for Problem Mapping
… problem. This idea was fueled by the concept of Structure-Mapping Theory, where a set of knowledge is mapped from one domain to another based on the shared baseline characteristics. Utilizing a Genetic Algorithm (GA), plus A* with a classifier hybrid, the algorithm includes a period of supervised …

Interaction of the Neurospora crassa mitochondrial tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase with group I intron RNAs
… the formation of the catalytically active structure of the intron RNA. To investigate how CYT-18 stabilizes the active RNA structure, I used an Escherichia coli genetic assay with the phage T4 td intron to systematically test the ability of the CYT-18 protein to compensate for structural …

Computational framework for metastable materials discovery: integrating kinetics and accurate properties
Computational crystal structure prediction has led to the discovery and experimental realization of many new materials with exceptional properties and technological promise. One of the remaining challenges in computational materials discovery is the prediction of metastable materials: long-lived …

Metaphor and Content: An Embodied Paradigm for Learning
… metaphor (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980, 1999) and structure mapping (Gentner, 1983, 1989; Gentner & Markman, 1995), this project defined an instructional design model for the design, development, and assessment of metaphor-enhanced, computer-mediated learning environments. It used the model to …

An Alternative View of the Templates and Functions of RNA Polymerase II
… the left-hand tip region of the HDV rod-like structure, serves as a template for efficient transcription. The transcription reaction is highly sensitive to α-amanitin in HeLa cell NE, but it is partially resistant to this toxin in NE from PMG cells that contain an α-amanitin resistant allele …

Analysis of the antifreeze glycoprotein containing genomic locus in the Antarctic notothenioid fish dissostichus mawsoni
… analysis. Phylogenetic analysis and intron-exon structure mapping revealed that clade III trypsinogens consists of two distinct subclades (clade IIIA and IIIB), encompassing the previously classified cold-active group III trypsinogens. BLAST searches of NCBI ESTs from different teleosts revealed …

Delineating of the Utica Shale/Point Pleasant Formation Play System to Determine Influence of the Precambrian Basement in Northeastern Ohio
… these wells were ii added to Petra, a geological mapping program, and the tops of the Utica Shale, Point Pleasant Formation, Trenton Limestone, and the Black River Group were picked. These tops were then contoured into four structure maps and 4 isopach thickness maps. These maps were analyzed with …
