Abstract:

The aim of this dissertation was to address a theoretical debate on belief bias. Belief bias is the tendency for people to be influenced by their prior beliefs when engaged in deductive reasoning. Deduction is the act of drawing necessary conclusions from premises which are meant to be assumed as true. Given that the logical validity of an argument is independent of its content, being influenced by your prior beliefs in such content is considered a bias. Traditional theories posit there are two belief bias components. Motivated reasoning is the tendency to reason better for arguments with unbe

Abstract:

Invasive and non-invasive methods of BTI monitoring and wearout preemption have been proposed. We propose a novel, simple to use, test structure for NBTI /PBTI monitoring. The proposed structure has an AC and a DC stress mode. Although during stress mode, both PMOS and NMOS devices are stressed, the proposed structure isolates the PBTI and NBTI degradation during test mode. A methodology of converting any data-path into ring oscillator (DPRO) is also presented. To avoid the performance overhead of attaching monitoring circuitry to functional block, a non-invasive scheme for BTI monitoring is p

Abstract:

Today's world is an interconnected global village. Communication and business transactions are increasingly conducted in non-native languages. Literature suggests that biases are present when communicating in non-native languages; that a truth bias is present in first language communication, and a lie bias in second language communication. Less than 10% of South Africa's population identifies with English, the lingua franca of the country, as a first language. Not much research in the presence of bias in second language communication has been published in the South African multi-lingual contex

Abstract:

Detecting animals during wildlife surveys underpins the validity of outcomes for pest control, conservation and research. Most surveys rely on animals deciding to engage with a device, hoping the reward outweighs any perceived danger. Animal personality, however, can shape risk-reward decisions by individuals, potentially driving heterogeneity in detection probability and undermining sampling reliability. In this thesis, I investigated personality as a mechanistic driver of detection bias and examined interactions between personality and the risk-reward properties of different survey methods.

Abstract:

<p>Cognitive theories claim that phobias involve unconscious processing and that anxious individuals search the environment for threatening stimuli and therefore detect them more rapidly. However, evidence for this is mixed and suggests that anxious individuals do not detect threat more accurately but are more liberal to report that they detected threat even if there was no actual threat (response bias). In this study, 55 women performed a detection task with pictures of snakes, spiders, and guns. The pictures were backward masked to reduce their visibility. Participants also filled in questio

Many behavioural measures of visual perception show continuous rhythmic fluctuations that reflect the influence of neural oscillations in the theta (4-7 Hz) and alpha frequency band (7-12 Hz). This thesis examines whether similar behavioural oscillations exist in audition and if so, how they may be linked to attention and sensory expectation. Three experiments are reported. All employed a similar design that involved the identification of the pitch (Experiment 1) or the ear of origin of a brief, monaural sinusoidal tone masked by uncorrelated broadband noise (Experiment 2 and 3).

Group disparity in the desired outcome (e.g., academic achievement) has always been a research emphasis. A group comparison is fair and meaningful only if the measured scores are comparable and free from bias. Measurement bias is closely connected to test fairness and has been investigated for decades. In the psychometric literature, the concepts of DIF, bias and impact are interconnected but different from one another. Wu et al.'s (2017) attributional framework, based on group comparison, explicates the differences among them and provides analytical procedures to detect bias and impact. Their

We show that the projected number density profiles of Sloan Digital Sky Survey photometric galaxies around galaxy clusters display strong evidence for the splashback radius, a sharp halo edge corresponding to the location of the first orbital apocenter of satellite galaxies after their infall. We split the clusters into two subsamples with different mean projected radial distances of their members, < R-mem >, at fixed richness and redshift. The sample with smaller < R-mem > has a smaller ratio of the splashback radius to the traditional halo boundary R-200m than the subsample with larger < R-m

Further analysis included comparison of results of DTLF analysis using the Mantel procedure with DIF analysis of individual testlet items using the Mantel-Haenszel (MH) procedure.

Consider a time series model which is stationary apart from a single shift in mean.

Here, we first carry out extensive simulation studies to determine the relationship between the bias and three parameters of our time series model: the true magnitude of the level shift, the true time point and the autocorrelation of adjacent observations.

Three common methods have been used to assess the existence of rating bias in performance ratings: the total association approach, the differential constructs approach and the direct effects approach. One purpose of this study was to examine how the direct effects approach, and more specifically differential prediction analysis, is more useful than the other two approaches in examining the existence of rating bias. However, the usefulness of differential prediction depends on modeling the full rater race X ratee race interaction. Therefore, the second purpose of this study was to examine th

Le domaine de recherche auquel je m'interesse est l'etude de nouveaux composants (composants semi-conducteurs, composants microondes, composants d'optique integre) et leurs applications pour realiser des circuits et systemes de telecommunication terrestre et spatiale et d'instrumentation electronique et optique. Pour obtenir des mesures de bonne qualite sur ces composants, il est necessaire d'utiliser des appareils de grandes performances. Neanmoins, des erreurs de mesure subsistent toujours. Le but de mon travail de recherche est la correction de ces erreurs le plus efficacement possible. Pou

Abstract:

This study compared three methods of detecting test item bias, the chi-square approach, the transformed item difficulties approach, and the Linn-Harnish three-parameter item response approach which is the only Item Response Theory (IRT) method that can be utilized with minority samples relatively small in size. The items on two tests which measured writing and reading skills were examined for evidence of sex and ethnic bias. Eight sets of samples, four from each test, were randomly selected from the population (N=7287) of sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students enrolled in a large, urban sch

Abstract:

A method to perform implicit path delay fault grading on GPGPU architectures is presented. Experimentally it is shown that it is over 1200x faster than a single-core implicit path delay fault grading method previously in the literature for higher accuracy and can be shown to scale to multiple GPGPUs. A post-silicon test pattern generation strategy to maximize the efficiency of broadside tests applied to a sequential design for a limited test budget is presented. Arguments are made for this approach for detecting embedded Trojan ICs in the next-state functions of a sequential system; they are

Abstract:

A fault detection and correction methodology for user positioning systems based on Kalman filtering is presented in this thesis. To develop this methodology, various aspects of the design of positioning systems are taken into account, such as the dynamic models of the systems, the definition of the estimation technique, the available technology and the environment (to identify disturbances that can affect the systems).<br/>In the first phase, the available technologies were identified, and the algorithms and the physical-mathematical models were defined for the positioning systems for both ind

La tesis se centra en los estudios de la producción inelástica de las partículas cargadas en el colisionador LHC que opera en la frontera de la energía del centro de masa de 7 TeV. Los datos corresponden a 16 μb-1 de la primera recogida de la luminosidad integrada por el detector ATLAS, a principios de 2010. Las secciones de la producción de las partículas cargadas fueron comparadas con la variedad de los populares modelos fenomenológicos de la QCD suave. Los resultados reportados en la tesis constituyen una muestra de datos correspondiente a una nueva región cinemática de QCD. Por lo tan

Abstract:

Modern physics largely relies on the power of colliders to investigate the fundamental aspects of nature. The search for new particles often implies looking for a resonance over a continuous background and it is essential to know the background's shape with high accuracy in order to detect a possible signal. In this work the impact of the background modelling on the signal yield is investigated. This is done by calculating the bias associated with an incorrect choice of the background function and how this systematic error depends on the collected luminosity. Fits are done using different func
