Fostering students' participation in writing activity in three urban classrooms
(2002)Research on classroom writing has often paid scant attention to the role of the teacher in children's literacy development. This study investigated how teachers planned for and involved their diverse students in classroom ... -
Foundations for Change? Advocacy and Participatory Grantmaking Strategies in the U.S. Philanthropic Sector
Philanthropic foundations are not merely patrons that provide grant funding to worthy causes. Iseek to develop an understanding of philanthropic foundations as active political actors that attempt to influence social and ... -
Fountain; fragments and remains: an journal/essay of things orr Nude Descending a Staircase N°2; fragments and remains: a long form poem
What Fountain wants here is to be both signal and noise at the same time, so that the signal is noise and the noise signal, in a constant feedback loop (both negative and positive, destructive and constructive) refusing ... -
Four Essays on Decentralized Markets in Management and Policy
Governments often create markets to serve management or policy goals. The creation of these markets requires developing the institutional capacity to disseminate market information in order for the market to achieve those ... -
Four Essays on Inventory and Supply Chain Management
Inventory and supply chain management are key research areas in operations management. In the first chapter, we generalize classic maximin and minimax regret models (Scarf 1958, Perakis and Roels 2008) of the distributionally ... -
Four Problems in Probability and Optimization
(2014-02-24)This thesis studies bootstrap percolation, a problem in probability, as well as several topics in the application of sums of squares to combinatorial optimization. In the chapter on percolation, we bound the critical ... -
Fourteen
<italic>Fourteen<italic> takes on difficult topics such as chattel slavery, sexual violence, racism and discrimination. I use music, tangents and a prejudicial preference for the number fourteen as tools to aid my telling. ... -
Fourth graders' literal and inferential reading comprehension: effects of readability and answer format
(2000)The goal of reading is to gain meaning from text. Subsequently, reading comprehension skills become a much greater focus in third or fourth grade as children begin reading text to learn. A text's meaning is a combination ... -

FPGA Accelerated Bioinformatics: Alignment, Classification, Homology and Counting
Advances in next-generation sequencing technology have led to increases in genomic data production by sequencing machines that outpace Moore’s law. This trend has reached the point where the time and money spent processing ... -
FPGA Deployment of LFADS for Real-time Neuroscience Experiments
Neural networks have been widely used in neuroscience experiments to model and analyze neural activities. Sleep spindle, a rare brain signal, is considered to be associated with learning and memory. Currently, a complex ... -
FPGA Design Upgrades for the ATLAS Pixel Readout System in the Large Hadron Collider
The ATLAS Pixel Detector in the Large Hadron Collider uses a system of FPGAs in the off-detector readout system. The Read Out Driver (ROD) is a major component of the system that handles processing of front end data and ... -
FPGA Development of an Emulator Framework and a High Speed I/O Core for the ITk Pixel Upgrade
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the largest accelerator laboratory in the world and is operated by CERN, an international organization dedicated to nuclear research. It aims to help answer the fundamental questions posed ... -
FPGA Development of an Emulator of the RD53A Prototype Chip and its Integration with Various Readout Systems
In 2024 the Large Hadron Collider will be shut down for a major upgrade of the particle detectors and collider systems that will increase the number of collisions occurring in the LHC. As part of this upgrade the front-end ... -
