Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of how ubiquitous computing would affect an elementary teacher's ability to more fully operationalize her existing constructivist teaching philosophy.Research on computing technologies in K-12 schools has documented that there are numerous important barriers to technology integration in the classroom, one of which is access to computer technologies. In addition, the research documents that new technologies can act as a catalyst toward teacher change of instructional practices over time when using such technologies for teaching and learning. T

Santilli, Abram. "Vortex : deferred sort last parallel graphics architecture." Thesis, View thesis, 2006. http://handle.uws.edu.au:8081/1959.7/18604.

Full text

Abstract:

We have developed a new cluster parallel graphics architecture that improves upon prior cluster parallel graphics systems for high performance supergraphics – the Vortex deferred sort-last parallel graphics architecture based on global Zspace paradigm. The new architecture bypasses limitations of screen-space based parallelization paradigms, solves known Z-space parallelization inefficiencies and problems. Vortex addresses the lack of global Z buffer awareness between GPUs and prevents artifacts in globally order-dependent blending on multiple GPUs. The new paradigm allows for full 1-1 process

Full text

Abstract:

The term patina refers to a particular quality of decay in material objects, where the decay is both a physical and symbolic property of the object. As a physical property patina is an expression of the passage of time, a visual marker of the object's timeboundedness reflected in signs of ageing and/or use. This thesis considers the implications of a digital patina, including its relevance for an analysis of the relationship between things and time or timeboundedness.

Abstract:

The 21st century is an age of conducting business electronically. The benefits of dealing electronically with customers, suppliers, government and others is a fact that will continue the push towards further use of digital technology. This research work aims to address the following research question. How can a small to medium size enterprise (SME)etransform to be competitive in a globalised, rapidly changing, digital world? There are two components to this question; firstly the nature of competitiveness in a globalised environment, and secondly, the issue of how an orgaisation can etransform.

Abstract:

Artificial Neural Networks have been widely probed by worldwide researchers to cope with the problems such as function approximation and data simulation. This thesis deals with Feed-forward Neural Networks (FNN's) with a new neuron activation function called Neuron-adaptive Activation Function (NAF), and Feed-forward Higher Order Neural Networks (HONN's) with this new neuron activation function. We have designed a new neural network model, the Neuron-Adaptive Neural Network (NANN), and mathematically proved that one NANN can approximate any piecewise continuous function to any desired accuracy

Abstract:

The semantic web aims to make the meaning of data on the web explicit and machine processable. Harking back to Leibniz in its vision, it imagines a world of interlinked information that computers `understand' and `know' how to process based on its meaning. Spearheaded by the World Wide Web Consortium, ontology languages OWL and RDF form the core of the current technical offerings. RDF has successfully enabled the construction of virtually unlimited webs of data, whilst OWL gives the ability to express complex relationships between RDF data triples. However, the formal semantics of these lan

Abstract:

Organisations have processes to manage their business activities, often referred to as business processes. In today’s competitive global economy, automation of processes with appropriate technology is advantageous. However, the paradox of processes automation is the continuous evolution and change that occurs in business processes. As the business processes evolve and change, the underpinning automated systems need to reflect those changes. Even after a decade of research in the areas of business process automation (BPA) and business process evolution management (BPEM), organisations still fin

Abstract:

At present, there is an emerging need to expedite web application development and to accommodate the constant evolution of web applications due to evolving business dynamics. This can be reflected by an increasing number of contemporary Web Application Frameworks with Object Relational Mapping (ORM) support and Model-Driven Development tools with powerful model to- code generation capabilities. While business objects today can be generated from detailed, concrete UML Class diagrams, there is still a mismatch between these current technologies and the essential support for high-level modelling

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the problem of market mechanism design for supply chain management and e-marketplace development. Instead of viewing a market as an isolated entity, we consider each market to be a part of a supply chain and study the effects of interactions between different markets in the supply chain. We focus on three important issues in relation to market mechanism design and investigate them using a variety of approaches, such as game-theoretic, strategic and experimental methods. Capacity allocation has been a research topic in management science and operations research for seve

Abstract:

This dissertation details a framework for providing knowledge-based temporal reasoning and data analysis within a complex and high frequency data environment. The process of Temporal Abstraction (TA) involves a transformation from raw quantitative time-stamped data to a qualitative interval-based representation which can be matched directly to the domain expert’s knowledge. Clinical data analysis involves a high degree of both contextual and temporal information. Diagnoses, prognosis and therapy incorporate knowledge of factors such as patient history, present medication and temporal factors l

Abstract:

A Geometry Image (GIM) describes a regular polygonal surface mesh using a standard 2D image format without the need for explicit connectivity information. Like many regular or semi-regular surface representations, GIMs lend themselves well to a number processing tasks performed in computer graphics. It has been suggested that GIMs could provide improvements within real-time rendering pipelines through straightforward localised surface processing and simple mip-map based level-of-detail. The simplicity of such algorithms in the case of GIMs makes them highly amenable to user transparent impleme

Abstract:

This thesis investigated the use of decision support systems as a mechanism to both safeguard a system and facilitate the acquisition of decision skills among less experienced practitioners in the context of fireground incident command. Theoretically, the use of decision support systems has the capacity to reduce the demands on working memory resources, enabling faster and more accurate decisions. Three different decision support system interfaces were designed, each of which differed in the cognitive demands associated with formulating a decision. The interfaces ranged from the full processin

Abstract:

Decision support systems (DSS) are usually based on computerised models of biophysical and economic systems. Despite early expectations that such models would inform and improve management, adoption rates have been low, and implementation of DSS is now “critical” The reasons for this are unclear and the aim of this study is to learn to better design, develop and apply DSS in farming systems research (FSR). Previous studies have explored the merits of quantitative tools including DSS, and suggested changes leading to greater impact. In Australia, the changes advocated have been: Simple, flexibl

Legal knowledge engineering methodology for epistemologically sound, large scale legal expert systems is developed in this dissertation. A specific meta-epistemological method is posed for the transformation of legal domain epistemology to large scale legal expert systems; the method has five stages: 1. domain epistemology; 2. computational domain epistemology; 3. shell epistemology; 4. programming epistemology; and 5. application epistemology and ontology. The nature of legal epistemology is defined in terms of a deep model that divides the information of the ontology of legal possibilities i

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)<br>A move toward care of residents in nursing homes where they are respected and heard is finally emerging. Common strategies used in nursing homes to improve quality of care for residents are integration of person-centered care and assessing care using satisfaction surveys. Although approaches of integrating person-centered care and satisfaction surveys have been valuable in improving nursing home quality, strategies of care that include things that matter from residents’ perspectives while living in nursing homes need investigation.
