Assessing Bikeability in Virginia: A Comparison of CHATGPT-4o and Traditional Models
… Street View Images (SVIs) and deep learning models to assess street-level features associated with the cycling environment in Virginia. An image segmentation model, PixelLib, was used to extract the proportion of seven features, namely greenery, streetlights, roads, sidewalks, cars, sky, and …

Epithelial and immune cell dynamics in non-traditional models of mammary postnatal development
… breast, constituting promising adjunctive non-traditional model systems. Moreover, unlike the male mouse, the male ovine gland persists into postnatal development. This study therefore also aims to evaluate the male ovine mammary microenvironment as a model for male mammary biology. Initially, …

Job embeddedness versus traditional models of voluntary turnover: A test of voluntary turnover prediction.
… been a problem for today's organizations. Traditional models of turnover continue to be utilized in a number of ways in both academia and industry. A newer model of turnover, job embeddedness, has recently been developed in an attempt to better predict voluntary turnover than existing …

Consultation in the School Psychology Literature: Has the Field Moved beyond the Three Traditional Models?
… and phrases, which cause confusion as to what models of consultation are prominent in the field. The focus of the current study is to examine the articles that mention consultation in <i>School Psychology Review (Digest)</i> in order to determine whether the three traditional models …

An Empirical Study Of The Promise And Effectiveness Of Teachers From Professional Development Vs. Traditional Models Of Education
… development school (PDS) program versus the traditional program to determine if there was a difference in the promise and effectiveness of pre-service teachers. The study analyzed the difference between PDS and traditional pre-service teachers utilizing descriptive statistics, t-tests for …

Application of Agent Based Modeling to Insurance Cycles
Traditional models of analyzing the general insurance market often focus on the behavior of a single insurer in a competitive market. They assume that the major players in this market are homogeneous and have a common goal to achieve a same long-term business objective, such as solving profit (or …

Does Google Search Data Aid In Predicting Unemployment?
… This paper looks to improve upon existing models by adding Google search data to traditional models using initial claims or replacing initial claims with Google searches. One hypothesis is that Google searches may improve forecast accuracy due to employees knowing or getting a sense when …

Investigating Ensembles of Single-class Classifiers for Multi-class Classification
Traditional methods of multi-class classification in machine learning involve the use of a monolithic feature extractor and classifier head trained on data from all of the classes at once. These architectures (especially the classifier head) are dependent on the number and types of classes, and are …

Ultra-wideband Small Scale Channel Modeling and its Application to Receiver Design
… statistical characterization and potential models, are discussed. A detailed analysis of the CLEAN algorithm, which was used to process all the measurement data, is also given, and some limitations of the algorithm are presented. The significance of the channel impulse response model chosen …

Availability Analysis for the Quasi-Renewal Process with an Age-Dependent Preventive Maintenance Policy
… the behavior of a repairable system than traditional models such as perfect repair and minimal repair since it reflects the deterioration process of the system over time while traditional models do not. The quasi-renewal parameter is set to a value between 0 and 1 to indicate the rate of …

Reversibility for efficient computing
… rapidly, and are now becoming practical. In traditional models of computation, pure reversibility seems to decrease overall computational efficiency; I provide a proof to this effect. However, traditional models ignore important physical constraints on information processing. This thesis …

Promoting Stability and Well -Being Among Families Who Adopt Children Out of Foster Care: Examining the Role of Formal and Informal Support
… are conceptualized and provided. Whereas traditional models of adoption support tend to be short-term, crisis-oriented and agency-focused, this study highlights the need for an ecologically-based model of adoption support that takes into account the evolving needs of adoptive families who …

Sublexical, lexical and phonological short-term memory processes: Evaluating models of speech perception and short-term memory
… short-term memory (pSTM). Contrary to traditional models which assume that sublexical processing necessarily precedes lexical processing (e.g., McClelland & Elman, 1986; Norris, 1994), several studies have demonstrated that patients may perform better on lexical than sublexical speech …

Efficient Estimation of Stochastic Parameters: A GLS Approach
… parameter estimates in dynamic linear models. Through rigorous simulations, the rolling GLS model exhibits enhanced accuracy in scenarios with smaller sample sizes and maintains its efficacy when the normality assumption is relaxed, distinguishing it from traditional models like Kalman …

Meaning-making processes among bereaved mothers who have lost a child to cancer
… natural order of life and death is undennined. Traditional models of mourning, premised on Freud's 'grief work' approach, do not address the concept of meaning-making (cognitive mastery and renewed purpose) during the grieving process, and only recently have theoretical models begun to recognize …

Cape Town Airbnb price prediction: an exploration of spatial statistic and machine learning methods
… in the market. Using data from InsideAirbnb, traditional, spatial and machine learning models are compared and contrasted. The Cape Town Airbnb market has significant spatial correlation and heterogeneity, and traditional models such as OLS regression do not account for this spatial …

Imbalanced learning using actuarial modified loss function in tree-based models
… loss distribution poses the challenge to apply traditional methods directly to claim loss modeling. Via an illustrative simple dataset, this thesis first pinpoints the pitfall in the traditional tree-based algorithm’s splitting function. This thesis then modifies the function to remedy the …
