GPU-based Parallel Computation of Integral Properties of Volumetrically Digitized Objects
Integral properties of objects that have been created digitally or that are volumetrically digitized have an important role in many different applications. There are a few different approaches for the computation of integral ... -
Graded group schemes
We define graded group schemes and graded group varieties and develop their theory. We give a generalization of the result that connected graded bialgebras are graded Hopf algebra. Our result is given for a broader class ... -
A Gradual vs. Sudden Introduction to Novel Locomotor Task Requirements: Consequences for Motor Learning, Balance Control and Cognitive Demand
(2013-02-25)The physical rehabilitation of individuals with lower limb loss has traditionally been guided by a device driven paradigm, with much less attention, if any, allocated to the manner in which established motor learning ... -
Graduate Student Motherhood: How Female Ph.D. Students Resist and Perform Idealized Norms of Work and Mothering
(2013-07-25)The current lack of women in tenured academic positions has been recently attributed to issues of gender discrimination, maternal discrimination, and work-family conflict for women. Survey research shows that women who ... -
Grain growth in sintered Zn0 ceramics
(1990)The effects of the ZnO initial powder particle size and the spinel forming additives, Nb$\sb2$O$\sb5$ and Al$\sb2$O$\sb3$, on the ZnO grain growth processes and grain growth kinetics in pure ZnO and ZnO + 6 wt% Bi$\sb2$O$\sb3$ ... -
A Grammar Library for Information Structure
(2014-04-30)This dissertation makes substantial contributions to both the theoretical and computational treatment of information structure, with an eye toward creating natural language processing applications such as multilingual ... -
Grange Halls in Washington State: A Critical Investigation of a Vernacular Building Type
(2013-11-14)The Grange, formally known as the Order of the Patrons of Husbandry, is the oldest farm organization in the United States. At the local level, subordinate granges are typically organized among interested community members, ... -
Graph Estimation and Cluster Analysis in High Dimensions
In many applications, it is of interest to uncover patterns from a high-dimensional data set in which the number of features, p, is larger than the number of observations, n. We consider the areas of graph estimation and ... -
Graph-based Algorithms for Lexical Semantics and its Applications
(2012-09-13)Lexical semantics studies the meaning of words, which is a useful tool for computer-based automatic natural language processing (NLP). This thesis explores graph-based algorithms to learn and apply distributional lexical ... -
Graph-based Semi-Supervised Learning in Acoustic Modeling for Automatic Speech Recognition
Acoustic models require a large amount of training data. However, lots of labor is required to annotate the training data for automatic speech recognition. More importantly, the performance of the acoustic model could ... -
A Graph-Theoretic Approach to Model Genomic Data and Identify Biological Modules Asscociated with Cancer Outcomes
(2013-07-25)Studies of the genetic basis of complex disease present statistical and methodological challenges in the discovery of reliable and high-confidence genes that reveal biological phenomena underlying the etiology of disease ... -
A Graphic History: The Integration of Architecture and Graphic Design to Represent the Evolution of Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine Community
(2014-02-24)Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine is possibly the city's most historic neighborhood. From its German origins to its strong Appalachian and African-American culture, it has had a rich and diverse history. But with recent ... -
Graphical Models for Peptide Identification of Tandem Mass Spectra
Graphical models (GMs) provide a flexible framework for modeling phenomena. In the past few decades, GMs have become indispensable tools for machine learning and computational biology. They afford a wide range of modeling ... -
A graphical user interface (GUI) input-based algorithm to automate generation of multi-state models for release-recapture studies
(2014-04-30)Release-recapture studies represent an important branch of population analysis and are the primary method used to investigate population survival and migration. As researchers seek to answer more detailed questions about ... -
Graphical User Interface for Cleft Severity Analysis
3D FAST (3D Facial Analysis System and Tool) is a graphical user interface (GUI) designed for analyzing craniofacial symmetry, particularly for cleft severity. The goal is to enable an easy experience for computing the ... -
Grating light reflection spectroscopy
(1996)A new optical technique for analytical sensing, termed Grating Light Reflection Spectroscopy (GLRS), is described and evaluated in this dissertation. GLRS relies on the existence of thresholds in diffracted transmitted ... -
"Graunted of the Bysshop Honde": the meaning and uses of the sacrament of confirmation from its inception through the Middle Ages
(2003)This dissertation is a social history of the sacrament of confirmation in western Christianity from its beginnings in the early third century through the Middle Ages. It is an exploration of the meanings attached to the ... -
Gravimetric Anomaly Detection using Compressed Sensing
We address the problem of identifying underground anomalies (e.g. holes) based on gravity measurements. This is a theoretically well-studied yet difficult problem. In all except a few special cases, the inverse problem has ... -
Gravity waves generated by tropical convection: generation mechanisms and implications for global circulation models
(2002)Convectively generated gravity waves influence the circulation of the middle atmosphere by depositing momentum to the flow at their breaking levels. Global Circulation Models do not resolve convectively generated gravity ... -
Grażyna Bacewicz and social realism
(2001)The history of Social Realism and its relation to music has never been clear. Many scholarly sources provide varying degrees of discussion on the topic, but all are either superficial or diffused and vague in scope. It is ...
