Ensemble Kalman filter assimilation of Doppler radar data for the initialization and prediction of convective storms.
(2006)
Finally, the EnSRF is applied to the May 29-30, 2004 central Oklahoma tornadic thunderstorm case. The initial storm environment is either horizontally homogeneous as defined by a single sounding or is three dimensional as ...
An ethical study of genetic intervention based on Rawlsian justice and on Buddhism.
(2006)
The primary purpose of my dissertation is to discuss the moral distinction between genetics based medical therapy and enhancement, using a combination of ethical ideas derived from Rawlsian justice and from Buddhism.
Using the differentiation between vocabulary and matrices scores on the K-BIT as predictors of parenting program outcomes.
(2006)
This study examined whether the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test (K-BIT) Matrices subtest was more predictive than the K-BIT Vocabulary subtest of parenting program completion and whether select demographic variables, K-BIT ...
Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis in support vector machines: Robust optimization and uncertain programming approaches.
(2006)
Noisy or uncertain data are common in machine learning and data mining applications. Noisy data can significantly affect the behavior of data mining and machine learning algorithms. Robust optimization and sensitivity ...
Seismic wave characteristics in anisotropic attenuating media .
(2006)
Seismic anisotropy in shales is a complex phenomenon. A number of theoretical shale models are investigated to study the effects of clay orientation, aspect ratio of cracks, porosity and fluid types on the synthetic seismograms.
Applications of selected cooperative learning techniques to group piano instruction.
(2006)
The educational concept of cooperative learning is not a new one. The instructional model has existed for centuries and has been thoroughly researched and developed as reflected in the professional literature. Yet this ...

Is a different perspective helpful? Assessing the validity of peer ratings of goal orientation.
(2006)
The present study was the first to examine the validity of peer ratings of goal orientation. I examined peer-assessed goal orientation in a collaborative training environment with a complex task. The reliability and ...
Characterization of Nanoclay Dispersion in Epoxy Matrix by Combined Image Analysis and Wavelength Dispersive Spectrometry
(2006-07-02)
Nanoclay has been gaining acceptance as a nano-meter scale reinforcement for polymers during the last two decades [1]. It has proven to be successful for reinforcing thermoplastics [2], however, its utilization in thermosetting ...
