Abstract:

This thesis studied a new variant of Evolutionary Algorithms called Gene Expression Programming. The evolution process of Gene Expression Programming was investigated from the practice to the theory. As a practice level, the original version of Gene Expression Programming was applied to a classification problem and an enhanced version of the algorithm was consequently developed. This allowed the development of a general understanding of each component of the genotype and phenotype separated representation system of the solution employed by the algorithm. Based on such an understanding, a versi

Abstract:

Political schema research (Kinder, Peters, Abelson, & Fiske, 1980; Miller, Wattenberg, & Malanchuk, 1986) has centered on the schemas voters use to select presidents. Unfortunately, political researchers have all but neglected the state and local level. Consequently, this thesis focuses on the schemas voters use to select governors to determine if these schemas differ from schemas used to select presidents. This thesis also tests the relationship between political sophistication and the use of certain schemas to select a governor. Surveys were administered to 563 adults waiting for jury duty.

Abstract:

Schema therapy was developed by Jeffery Young to treat adults with personality disorders, and has been evidenced to be effective in treating both Axis I and Axis II disorders. While Young stipulates that schemas are likely to be in place by adolescence, there is currently little agreement over the appropriateness of schema theory and therapy in understanding and treating psychopathology in adolescence. This thesis aims to explore the evidence–base and potential utility of applying schema theory to adolescent psychopathology, and consists of a systematic review and research article. The review

Abstract:

The aim of this research is to investigate the possible effects of text experiences on story retelling with young children. The subjects are 210 Lebanese children, whose native language is Arabic, learning to read in English through using foreign culture books, mainly American. It is the belief that, while learning to read in a second language, children are also introduced to a new culture. Therefore, a key question is how are we going to make this process easier and more enjoyable to children who are a) learning to read, b) in a foreign language, and c) about a distant culture.

Abstract:

Researchers acknowledge the difficulty faced by children in understanding new concepts. Explaining new concepts to children requires supporting their reasoning based on concrete objects and ideas. Human tutors normally use some dialogue to introduce new concepts and tailor the explanations to the prior knowledge of the children. There is a lack of interactive pedagogical agents that guide children's reasoning and adapt explanation to their cognitive state. The design of such agents can be based on learning theories that explain how children understand new concepts, as well as on studies of how

Abstract:

Schema theory suggests that people understand texts and experiences by comparing them with stereotypical mental representations of similar cases. This thesis examines the relevance of this theory (as developed in some Artificial Intelligence (AI) work of the 1970s and 1980s) to literary theory and the analysis of literary texts. The general theoretical framework is that of discourse analysis. In this approach, the usefulness of schema theory is already widely acknowledged for the contribution it can make to an explanation of 'coherence': the quality of meaningfulness and unity perceived in dis

Abstract:

This dissertation describes a qualitative case study that investigated novice teachers’ video-aided reflection on their own teaching. To date, most studies that have investigated novice teachers’ video-aided reflective practice have focused on examining novice teachers’ levels of reflective writing rather than the cognitive processes involved during their reflection. Few studies have probed how novice teachers schematize and theorize their newly acquired and/or existing knowledge during video-aided reflection.

Abstract:

Literary texts offer rich opportunities for language learning. However, can second language (L2) learners fully understand L2 literary texts? According to Bernhardt (2001):"the act of reading in a second language is extremely tricky -- is even trickier with literary texts that are inherently ambiguous, full of metaphor and intertextual relations to texts to which the readers have no access" (p.198). In other words, L2 readers are often poorly equipped grammatically, linguistically and culturally to cope with literary texts in which it might be difficult to recognize figurative language, to com

Abstract:

Personality disorders have traditionally been considered refractory to psychological interventions. Two of the most common, and potentially harmful personality disorders are antisocial personality disorder / psychopathy, and narcissism. Although a great deal of conceptual overlap exists between psychopathy and narcissism, the empirical study of these constructs has proceeded largely independently of one another. Further complicating the discrimination of these constructs is the identification of the bi-factorial nature of psychopathy - conceptualised as primary and secondary psychopathy - as w

Graph data appears in a variety of application domains, and many uses of it, such as querying, matching, and transforming data, naturally result in incompletely specified graph data, i.e., graph patterns. Queries need to be posed against such data, but techniques for querying patterns are generally lacking, and even simple properties of graph patterns, such as the languages needed to specify them, are not well understood. In this dissertation we present several contributions in the study of graph patterns. We analyze how to query them and how to use them as queries. We also analyze some of the
