Using First Order Inductive Learning as an Alternative to a Simulator in a Game Artificial Intelligence
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-05-04)
Currently many game artificial intelligences attempt to determine their next moves by using a simulator to predict the effect of actions in the world. However, writing such a simulator is time-consuming, and the simulator ...
The importance of nitrogen fixation to the nitrogen budget of the North Atlantic Ocean
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-05-04)
Samples of seawater and suspended particles in the mixed layer (top 100m) were collected on Seward Johnson cruises SJ9603, SJ9612, and SJ0005 to the tropical and subtropical North Atlantic Ocean. Deep-water nitrate has ...
Performance Information Sharing Middleware
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008-05-05)
This thesis presents a design for distributed monitoring system designed to enable monitoring-informed optimizationsin distributed applications. Microbenchmarks and an evaluation in a scientific-computing scenario are ...
Repeated Testing of Working Memory Capacity
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008-05-05)
Working memory capacity is measured by a variety of memory span tasks and can account for about 40% of inter-individual variation in fluid intelligence (Broadway &Engle, in preparation). In the present study, ten participants ...
Effects of Word Replacement on Juror Perceptions and Guilt Ratings During a Criminal Trial
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-12)
This research was performed with the aim of improving the body of knowledge on juror perceptions during criminal trials. Three juries were formed of men and women at least 18 years old. The juries witnessed key excerpts ...
Individual Differences and Academic Behavior
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008-05-05)
SUMMARY
This study investigates the relationship between procrastination and goal-setting behaviors. Undergraduate students (20 male, 24 female) completed a measure of the Five-Factor Model of personality (Mini-Markers) ...
Low Static Power and High Throughput Wave-Pipelined Global Interconnect Circuits
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-12-17)
This research project will explore a low-power, high-throughput design using high threshold voltage transistors in combination with wave-pipelining techniques across global interconnect circuits.
Gender Differences in Spatial Abilities
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-12-17)
The purpose of this study is to summarize past research concerning gender differences in spatial abilities through the use of a detailed meta-analysis. Many investigators have claimed that there is a significant gender ...
Density-dependent Stiffness in Petiole Biomechanics
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008-05-05)
Morphological features of plants vary with increasing size. This relationship between different physical characteristics and size is referred to as allometry. Recently allometric research focused on plants and in particular ...
Detection of Respiratory Syncytial Virus DNA with Gold Nanorod Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Active Substrates
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-05-04)
Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a powerful spectroscopic tool that can be used to identify and characterize compounds at low concentrations. Recent literature reports suggest that SERS may be applicable for the ...
