Abstract:

This project seeks to serve two purposes: first, to investigate various semantic and grammatical aspects of mixed conceptual metaphors in reference to anger; and secondly, to explore the potential of a corpus-based, TARGET DOMAIN-oriented method termed metaphor pattern analysis to the study of mixed metaphor. This research shows that mixed metaphors do not pattern in a manner consistent with statements made within conceptual metaphor theory. These metaphors prove highly dynamic in their combinability and resist resonance between SOURCE DOMAINS used. Also shown is the viability of metaphor pat

Abstract:

It has been over 35 years since the publication of Reddy's 1979 study of the metaphors for communication, an article that could be said to mark the starting point of Conceptual Metaphor Theory. However, despite the understanding that metaphor and figurative language are fundamental to language, in that time there has been little progress in introducing metaphor into the L2 classroom, especially at lower levels. This thesis argues that learners at this level have figurative resources that have not yet been acknowledged, but could be key elements in developing an L2 metaphor pedagogy. To explore

Abstract:

The conventional method of thermal modeling of space payloads is expensive and cumbersome. Radiation plays an important part in the thermal modeling of space payloads because of the presence of vacuum and deep space viewing. This induces strong nonlinearities into the thermal modeling process. There is a need for extensive correlation between the model and test data. This thesis presents Online Parameter Estimation as an approach to automate the thermal modeling process. The extended Kalman fillter (EKF) is the most widely used parameter estimation algorithm for nonlinear models. The unscented

Abstract:

Motivated by the structure of the normal surface stress of the extended Hertzian approach [1] given due to terms of the form r^2n*(a^2-r^2)^(1/2) (n=0, 2, 4, 6…) it seems attractive to evaluate the complete elastic field also for shear loadings of this form. The reason for this lays in the demand for analytical tools for the description of mixed loading conditions as they appear for example in scratch experiments. [1] N.

Abstract:

A mixed-integer program is an optimization problem where one is required to minimize a linear function over a subset defined by a system of linear inequalities, with the additional restriction that some of the variables must take an integer value. Many real-world problems can be formulated as mixed-integer programs. Solving mixed-integer programs is difficult in general. A common approach to tackle this kind of problems exploits the fact that (under mild assumptions) the convex hull of feasible solutions is a polyhedron. When the inequalities describing such a polyhedron are known explicitl

Abstract:

Clustering is a widely used technique in data mining applications to source, manage, analyze and extract vital information from large amounts of data. Most clustering procedures are limited in their performance when it comes to data with mixed attributes. In recent times, mixed data have evolved to include directional and functional data. In this study, we will give an introduction to clustering with an eye towards the application of the extended Gower coefficient by Hendrickson (2014). We will conduct a simulation study to assess the performance of this coefficient on mixed data whose functio

Background. Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is characterized by impulsivity, hyperactivity, and inattention, which affects 5-10% of school-age children. The first-line treatment for ADHD is stimulant medication, which increase levels dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE). These medications are highly effective, but not always tolerated. Sleep side effects, such as insomnia, are reported for both stimulant classes and are usually, but not always, mild and transitory, which can lead to treatment discontinuation. Poor tolerability may limit efficacy by compromising the ability to

<p>Traditionally in human genetic linkage analysis, extended families were only used in the analysis of dichotomous traits, such as Disease/No Disease. For quantitative traits, analyses initially focused on data from family trios (for example, mother, father, and child) or sib-pairs. Recently however, there have been two very important developments in genetics: It became clear that if the disease status of several generations of a family is known and their genetic information is obtained, researchers can pinpoint which pieces of genetic material are linked to the disease or trait.

Among them, intriguing possibilities have been opened by the implementation of optical lattices: periodic potentials for neutral atoms created by interfering laser beams. Degenerate gases in optical lattices can be forced in highly anisotropic traps, reducing the effective dimensionality of the system. From a fundamental point of view, the behavior of matter waves in reduced dimensions sh

Naïve-Bayes classifiers are very robust to irrelevant attributes, and classification takes into account evidence from many attributes to make the final prediction. Naïve-Bayes classifiers are generally easy to understand and the induction of these classifiers is extremely fast, requiring only a single pass through the data. However, the algorithm is limited to cate

碩士<br>華梵大學<br>東方人文思想研究所<br>100<br>Abstract This study takes the content of 65 stories from "Old Mixed Metaphor Sutra" as the main basis for analysis from the following three perspectives: the translator, the origin, and the thoughts to unfold the special characteristics of this Sutra. The second chapter discusses the Sutra’s title, the translator, the period and the editions of the Sutra, the names and the situation of its transmission. This pays great attention to specially discuss the subject of the translator, to deduce the truth / reality about the translator of "Old Mixed Metaphor Sutr

Abstract:

A tailored integration scheme is developed to treat stiff reaction-diffusion prob- lems. The construction adapts a stiff solver, namely VODE, to treat reaction im- plicitly together with explicit treatment of diffusion. The second-order Runge-Kutta- Chebyshev (RKC) scheme is adjusted to integrate diffusion. Spatial operator is de- scretised by second-order finite differences on a uniform grid. The overall solution is advanced over S fractional stiff integrations, where S corresponds to the number of RKC stages. The behavior of the scheme is analyzed by applying it to three simple problems.

Abstract:

碩士<br>雲林科技大學<br>資訊管理系碩士班<br>98<br>Mixed numeric and categorical data are commonly seen in nowadays corporate databases in which precious patterns may be hidden. Analyzing mixed-type data to extract the hidden patterns valuable to decision-making is therefore beneficial and critical for corporations to remain competitive. In addition, visualization facilitates exploration in the early stage of data analysis. In the paper, we present a visualized approach for analyzing multivariate mixed-type data. The proposed framework based on an extended self-organizing map allows visualized data cluster ana

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立雲林科技大學<br>資訊管理系碩士班<br>100<br>With rapid growth of information technology, most of corporations have collected a large amount of digital data, such as data regarding employees, customers and transactions, etc. Thus, mining useful patterns from the data becomes an important issue. Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) is a prototype-based classification technique and can process a large volume of data within reasonable computation time. However, traditional LVQ process only numeric data due to the use of Euclidean distance but cannot directly handle categorical data which must be converted

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立臺北大學<br>統計學系<br>93<br>The analysis of covariance is a statistical methodology that combines features of the analysis of variance and the regression. Its purpose is to test if there is a significant mean difference in the outcome between two treatments. To use ANCOVA, some statistical assumptions are needed. If one of model's assumptions violates, the $F$ test is then not appropriate. The purpose of the thesis is to release certain assumptions in the ANCOVA model including: (a) constancy of slopes (b) homogeneity (c) equality of covariate means for different treatments.

Abstract:

This research examines two pieces composed by me: Drop, for string octet, strobe lights, and electronic sounds (2015), and Decoder, for MIDI drums, holographic projections, and electronic sounds (2017). Both works interrogate a particular manifestation of digital technology: in the case of Drop, strobe lights, and in Decoder, digital screens. This process involves unpacking the character, language, and associations of a particular technology, and exploring how human performance complements, opposes, and negotiates with these elements. My analysis highlights the influence of Post-Digitalism in
