Abstract:

Repeated reading has been used for over 30 years. In the publication of the National Reading Panel Report, repeated reading was listed as an effective strategy for developing fluency. Yet, repeated reading’s efficacy has been recently questioned. Understanding the “how-to” of efficiently using evidence-based practices would allow teachers to deliver successful, time-sensitive instruction and intervention to students. This study was based on two research questions. First was a gain score (increase between a student’s first read and their final repeated reading), a better model and therefore a b

Abstract:

Mobile cellular communications have been becoming the leading technology in data transmissions: trillions of devices will serve billions of people in few years, not only for simple phone calls but also for application data transfer. The rapid diffusion of this technology goes with an increasing use of resources, in particular of bandwidth, whose scarcity and expensiveness make efficient management necessary. To this aim, a dynamic allocation of the spectrum is preferred to an inefficient static allocation. In this way, the waste of resources is reduced by assigning the unused frequencies to no

Abstract:

In this thesis, we address the problem of identifying and quantifying variants (alternative splicing and genomic polymorphism) in RNA-seq data when no reference genome is available, without assembling the full transcripts. Based on the idea that each variant corresponds to a recognizable pattern, a bubble, in a de Bruijn graph constructed from the RNA-seq reads, we propose a general model for all variants in such graphs. We then introduce an exact method, called KisSplice, to extract alternative splicing events and show that it outperforms general purpose transcriptome assemblers. We put an ex

Abstract:

The slow degradation of complex organics such as waste activated sludge (WAS) is a well-known limitation that impacts the process rate of conventional anaerobic digestion (AD). Thermal pretreatment can accelerate the digestion process by disrupting the structure of WAS before AD. The present research was initiated by comparing the two commonly used thermal pretreatment methods, conductive (conventional) heating (CH) and microwave (MW) hydrolysis, for enhanced sludge disintegration and AD performance. A bench-scale programmable MW oven operated at a frequency of 2.45 GHz was used for MW pretrea

The 5G technology has enabled performance-sensitive applications with low latency and high bandwidth requirements, which has put more low latency requirements on computing services. To answer this need, a small-scale data center called edge cloud is predicted to grow fast in the future. Due to its nature of being close to the end-users, the growth of edge clouds in the populated area may cause a problem with the existing power system. Besides this power system challenge, the edge cloud also requires a higher resource cost than the hyper-scale data center because of the economies of scale. In t

Abstract:

A atual situação de degradação ambiental tem sido muito discutida nos últimos anos. Um dos principais fatores agravantes dessa situação é a crescente demanda energética e suas atuais formas de produção. O petróleo, matriz energética mundial, é altamente poluente, e um combustível finito com o preço sempre crescente. A energia elétrica brasileira está baseada nas hidrelétricas, considerada fonte de energia limpa e renovável, porém o custo ambiental para sua construção é bem alto. Atualmente já existem tecnologias alternativas que podem servir essa crescente demanda energética sem prejudicar o m

Abstract:

Indonesia’s energy demand has been growing rapidly driven by increasing population, urbanization, and rapid economic growth. With increasing energy demand, the emissions associated with the energy sector continue to increase. With the gradual increase in demand and dominant share of fossil fuels in the energy mix, implementing the energy efficiency measures is crucial for Indonesia to achieve its energy and climate goals. From the policy perspective, National Energy plan of Indonesia aims to achieve higher levels of energy efficiency to reduce the overall energy intensity. Indonesia also has c

Abstract:

Compressed sensing and matrix completion are two new data acquisition techniques whose efficiency is achieved by exploring low dimensional structures in high dimensional data. Despite the combinatorial nature of compressed sensing and matrix completion, there has been significant development of computationally efficient algorithms which can produce accurate desired solutions to these problems. In this thesis, we are concerned with the development of low per iteration computational complexity algorithms for compressed sensing and matrix completion. First, we derive a locally optimal stepsize se

Abstract:

This study investigates Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) application in the electrical power and transportation industries. Information concerning current CAES projects is presented. A thorough thermodynamic analysis of the CAES process is completed; including theoretical efficiency determination for several variants of the compression and expansion processes. Industry claimed efficiencies ranging from 26% to 82% are presented and explained. Isothermal and Isentropic efficiency baselines are developed. Energy density of compressed air on both a mass and volume basis is compared to other en

Abstract:

As renewable, intermittent energy sources are expected to increasingly replace fossil based energy, energy storage technologies are crucially important in achieving the goal of fossil free energy, a cornerstone of sustainable development. Liquid air energy storage (LAES) is a novel technology that liquefies air when excess electricity is available. The liquid air is stored and, when electricity is needed, expanded in a turbine to generate electricity. The purpose of the project is to present the round trip efficiency of LAES, discuss how it can be improved and how it depends on relevant parame

Abstract:

This diploma thesis discusses how to set the real estate transfer tax. The goal is to put proposals to tax arrangements, or to consider its abolition. The main source of possibilities of changes is a comparison of Czech real estate transfer tax with the foreign models of taxation. The thesis describes the historical development of the tax in the Czech Republic and analyzes in details the current legislation. There is evaluated the effectiveness of the tax and its consistency with the principles of tax theory. From the comparative analysis of various options are inferred recommendations for cha

Abstract:

Pressure is mounting in the construction industry to adopt more environmentally sustainable methods to reduce CO2 emissions. Portland cement (PC) often constitutes to more than two-thirds of the embodied energy of concrete, and its production generates 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. One efficient strategy to reduce the cement content without sacrificing performance is the use of particle packing models (PPM) to mix- proportion concrete mixtures with low cement content, the so-called low cement content (LCC) concrete. If on the one hand LCC was seen to be an effective sustainable altern
