Exploring views of educators on the outcomes of the reading campaign
… they are not even aware of the objectives and time frame of the project. The implementation of the ELITS campaign was not monitored as a result some schools do not engage leaners in reading activities and they do not regard it as a skill that must be taught. The distribution of relevant reading …

Representative Environments for Reduced Estimation Time of Wide Area Acoustic Performance
… available. This facilitates nowcasts (current time ocean fields / analyses) and forecasts (predicted ocean fields) of acoustic propagation conditions in the ocean which can greatly improve the planning of acoustic experiments. Modeling of acoustic transmission loss (TL) provides information …

Automatic Detection of Landmark Acoustic Cues in Human Speech
This study presents a framework for the automatic detection of the eight landmark acoustic cues in human speech. Landmarks are key articulatory events, produced as a result of minimal vocal tract constriction (e.g., vowels and glides) or closures and releases in the oral region (e.g., nasal, …

Optimized ray tracing for real time use without hardware accelerators
Many real time applications such as games or animation engines wish to simulate realistic light transport to present the user with streams of high fidelity images. For decades rasterization was the rendering technique of choice because it is fast and produces high quality images. However, in recent …

Optimal distribution of the relaxation behavior of linear viscoelastic materials by the particle swarm optimization method applied to the problem of a twisting shaft
… is to outline a mathematical/computational framework for the material distribution optimization problem of a linear viscoelastic material. The distribution of the relaxation behavior (coefficients of the Prony series expansion) across the system was obtained to achieve a target performance …

Use of a Portland Cement Accelerator with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate
… of a restoration to allow for setting. If the time to set of MTA can be accelerated to a single appointment time frame without significantly altering its properties, then MTA may gain even wider acceptance. The purpose of this study is to identify the percentage of a Portland Cement Accelerator …

Airline revenue management based on dynamic programming incorporating passenger sell-up behavior
… which classes should be open for a given time frame. DP-GVR considers the fact that passengers may sell-up or buy down between fare classes, and determines which fare class should be the lowest class open for a given time frame. The goal of this thesis is to evaluate the effectiveness of …
