An automated data acquisition and data storage model for improving cost and schedule control

Cost and schedule control have been an important area of research. However, though a majority of construction projects employ some method of cost and schedule control, still, many projects suffer from ineffective control due to inefficient flow of information. Additionally, the problem is magnified by the difficulty in controlling data due to the limited time available to commit to this task and the lack of the proper organization, use, and management of data, coupled with inefficient manual data collection methods. Therefore, a solution to these problems imposes the challenges of integrating cost and schedule control and controlling the quality, integrity, and timeliness of data. To address these challenges, automated methods for acquiring, storing, and using the data in support of integrated control are needed. One mechanism to assist in effectively doing so is a database management system (DBMS). The difficulty, however, is that the proper organization, use, and management of data requires that it be well modeled. Unfortunately, engineering data models are almost universally developed in an ad hoc manner. Therefore, there is a fundamental need for using a formal, methodological approach to modeling data; in this case cost and schedule data. Given the development, evaluation, and adoption of a formal method for structuring engineering databases, two additional problems remain which are incorporated into the scope of this dissertation. The first problem is that of populating the database with data. Such population must occur as efficiently and quickly as possible. Automated data acquisition capabilities, effectively coupled with the database in the domain of interest, must be explored. The second problem is that of using the data in the database. The database should contain data that directly and efficiently supports processing needs and engineering applications that are essential and appropriate in the domain of interest. The data collection mechanisms, the database structure, and the data must all satisfy specified needs. This dissertation suggests that one form of effective integration can be achieved by linking data collection, data representation, and data use in an automated fashion.

Assessing neighbourhood destination access for children: development of the NDAI-C audit tool

Considerable societal changes across many countries have altered how children interact with their local environment, yet child-specific destination data have not been translated into a child-related destination accessibility index to further understand how neighbourhood locations support or hinder child mobility. Using data sourced from 238 9–11 year-old children living in Auckland, New Zealand, we aimed to: identify common destinations children travelled to; and develop a spatially derived objective index to quantify access to destinations that may support child mobility in the neighbourhood. Our findings show that children accessed a wide range of destinations during their daily activities, and the neighbourhoods that supported children's mobility tended to be located in more established areas, rather than newer greenfield developments.

Theoretical Foundations and Numerical Methods for Sparse Recovery

The present collection of four lecture notes is the very first contribution of this type in the field of sparse recovery. Compressed sensing is one of the important facets of the broader concept presented in the book, which by now has made connections with other branches such as mathematical imaging, inverse problems, numerical analysis and simulation. This unique collection will be of value for a broad community and may serve as a textbook for graduate courses.
Sketching music : representation and composition

The process of musical composition is sometimes conceived of as an individual, internal, cognitive process in which notation plays a passive role of transmitting or recording musical ideas. This thesis questions the role played by representations in musical composition practices. We begin by tracing how, historically, compositional practices have co-evolved with musical representations and technologies for music production. We present case studies to show that the use of graphical sketches is a characteristic feature of the early stages of musical composition and that this practice recurs across musical genres ranging from classical music to contemporary electroacoustic composition. We describe the processes involved in sketching activities within the framework of distributed cognition and distinguish an intermediate representational role for sketches that is different from what is ‘in the head’ of the composer and from the functions of more formal musical notations. Using evidences from the case studies, we argue in particular that as in other creative design processes, sketches provide strategically ambiguous, heterogeneous forms of representation that exploit vagueness, indeterminacy and inconsistency in the development of musical ideas. Building on this analysis of the functions of sketching we describe the design and implementation of a new tool, the Music Sketcher, which attempts to provide more under-specified and flexible forms of ‘sketch’ representation than are possible with contemporary composition tools. This tool is evaluated through a series of case studies which explore how the representations constructed with the tool are interpreted and what role they play in the compositional process. We show that the program provides a similar level of vagueness to pen and paper, while also facilitating re-representation and re-interpretation, thus helping bridge the gap between early representations and later stages of commitment.

A Validation Study of the ECCE NNS and NS Examiners' Conversational Styles from a Discourse Analytic Perspective

This study explores the conversational styles of the Examination for the Certificate of Competency in English (ECCE) native and nonnative speaker (NS and NNS) examiners when responding to candidates’ replies and eliciting questions and justifications and their effect on the assessment of the test takers’ oral proficiency. A discourse analytic approach following the systematic and functional tradition was implemented to analyze twenty audiotaped ECCE speaking test events. The findings show that certain conversational styles such as informing, commenting, back-channeling, interrupting, and so forth, act as non-eliciting discourse elements in facilitating sufficient oral samples from candidates. Differences between the amount and types of discourse features produced by the NS and NNS examiners seem to suggest a variability caused by examiners’ linguistic and cultural backgrounds.
IMPROVED CRITERIA FOR TRAFFIC SIGNALS AT INDIVIDUAL INTERSECTIONS

THE SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION IS THE CARDINAL ELEMENT OF A FREEWAY SYSTEM. TO IMPROVE THE OPERATIONAL QUALITY OF THE SYSTEM IT IS NECESSARY TO DEVELOP TRAFFIC SIGNALIZATION TO ITS HIGHEST LEVEL OF EFFICIENCY. A STATE-OF-THE-ART SUMMARY RESULTED IN AN EXTENSIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY. A MULTIPLE PURPOSE, MICROSCOPIC, DIGITAL SIMULATION MODEL OF TRAFFIC PERFORMANCE AND CONTROL AT AN INDIVIDUAL INTERSECTION WAS SUCCESSFULLY FORMULATED, PROGRAMMED, TESTED, AND REFINED. BY APPLYING THE INTERSECTION SIMULATION MODEL, DATA WERE DERIVED THAT LED TO AN INCREASED UNDERSTANDING OF A VARIETY OF MEASURES OF EFFECTIVENESS OF PERFORMANCE, THEIR DEPENDENCY ON THE MODE OF TRAFFIC-SIGNAL CONTROL UTILIZED, AND THEIR INTERDEPENDENCY. THE MODEL WAS EXERCISED COMPREHENSIVELY FOR FIXED-TIME MODES OF INTERSECTION CONTROL IN ORDER TO DERIVE A CONTROLLED DATA BASE FROM WHICH TO JUDGE OBJECTIVELY THE RELATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF EXPERIMENTAL TRAFFIC-RESPONSIVE PHILOSOPHIES OF CONTROL. A NEW PHILOSOPHY OF INTERSECTION CONTROL, THE BASIC QUEUE-CONTROL SCHEME, APPEARED PROMISING AND WAS SELECTED FOR PILOT FIELD IMPLEMENTATION. ONE UNIQUE FEATURE OF THIS WORK WAS THE ELIMINATION OF CONSIDERABLE TIME AND COST INVOLVED IN DESIGNING AND FABRICATING SPECIAL- PURPOSE TRAFFIC-CONTROL HARDWARE, MADE POSSIBLE BY MOCKING UP THE NEW CONTROL LOGIC IN A REAL-TIME DIGITAL CONTROL COMPUTER. THE EXPERIMENTAL CONTROL TECHNIQUE COULD BE DEVELOPED INTO AN OPERATIONAL SYSTEM IN A RELATIVELY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. A SPECIAL STUDY OF THE RELATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF VARIOUS PHASING SCHEMES INCORPORATING PROTECTED LEFT TURNS WAS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED. AN INESCAPABLE CONCLUSION THAT REPEATEDLY EMERGED IS THE OVERRIDING INFLUENCE OF SIGNAL-CYCLE LENGTH ON EFFECTIVENESS OF PERFORMANCE. THE TOTAL DELAY EQUALIZATION POLICY WAS FOUND TO BE RATIONAL, VIRTUALLY SYNONYMOUS WITH DELAY MINIMIZATION. THE AVERAGE DELAY EQUALIZATION POLICY RESULTS IN SIGNIFICANT OVER-ALL DELAY EXCESSES UNDER HIGH, UNBALANCED VOLUME CONDITIONS.
Causal-Loop Diagrams in Information Systems Research into Strategic Alignment

Causal-loop diagrams, a method of documenting non-linear cause/effect relationships, have been used in systems thinking and, in particular, system dynamics for some time. However, their use is still controversial though they have been found to be useful in developing an understanding of complex, non-linear systems. These systems encompass many organizational and social problem areas. Although causal-loop diagrams have been used by both consultants and practitioners to understand problem areas within organizations, they appear to have been little used in information systems research (or any other discipline of research). This paper provides a critical reflection of the use of causal-loop diagrams within information systems research. It finds that, although they have many limitations and their validity is highly questionable, they are useful during the exploratory stages of a research project in developing research questions, forming initial hypotheses, and gaining an understanding of the dynamics of a problem situation. The paper describes an exercise to develop a model of IS/business alignment, conducted over three sessions, and highlights some research questions not previously considered in the literature that arose as a result of the exercise.
Capturing study influence: The concept of 'gravity' in meta-analysis

While much theory abounds over properties of meta-analyses, there appears to be very little work to date on examining jackknifed and exact distributions of the statistics generated by the method. This paper takes an initial step towards filling that gap by describing a SAS (SAS Institute, 2001) macro written by the author based on another macro due to others, that performs jackknifed estimates of average effect size. It also suggests that ‘gravity’ is a property of studies included in a meta-analysis. A computer simulation supports the utility of the approach, and proposals for future development of exact and approximate methods in ‘combinatorial meta analysis’ are set forward
Multigrid methods for solids simulation

The simulation of deformable solids is a traditional topic in mechanics. Recently, deformable solids simulation has been widely used in computer animation, game development and virtual surgery to generate realistic deformations. Numerous methods have been developed to accelerate the simulation of realistic materials with complicated geometries, dynamic effects, as well as under user interface control and interaction with rigid bodies and fluids. Recently, there has been an increasing interest in the application of multigrid methods to practical problems, targeting interactive simulation with very high resolutions and with the help of parallel computer implementations. This thesis presents a multigrid framework for the simulation of high resolution elastic deformable models. The framework incorporates several state-of-the-art techniques from multigrid theory, while adapting them to the specific requirements of graphics, animation and engineering applications, such as the ability to handle elaborate geometry and complex boundary conditions. The efficiency of the solver is practically independent of material parameters, even for near-incompressible materials. The solver also supports the simulation of co-rotational linear elasticity and dynamic systems. With optimization, the algorithm achieves simulation rates as high as 6 frames per second on an 8-core SMP for test models with 256K vertices, and 1.6 frames per second on a 16-core SMP for a 2M vertex object. To achieve higher-order accuracy solutions, we also present a cut cell method for enforcing Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions with nearly incompressible linear elastic materials in irregular domains. Virtual nodes on cut uniform grid cells are used to provide geometric exibility in the domain boundary shape without sacrificing accuracy. We use a mixed formulation utilizing a MACtype staggered grid with piecewise bilinear displacements centered at cell faces and piecewise constant pressures at cell centers. These discretization choices provide the necessary stability in the incompressible limit and the necessary accuracy in cut cells. Numerical experiments suggest second order accuracy in L1. A geometric multigrid method is developed for solving the discrete equations for displacements and pressures that achieves nearly optimal convergence rates independent of grid resolution. Finally, we propose a soft constraint model for controllable deformable solids simulation and collision problems, and develop an efficient multigrid solver for the constraint system.

Viewframes: A Connectionist Model of Form Perception,

Abstract : The aim of this paper is to show that a wide variety of perceptual phenomena have succinct explanations given the concept of frame primitives. A frame primitive is a local coordinate frame attached to certain more primitive perceptual data. The idea of assigning coordinate frames to objects and the role of such frames in gestalt phenomena is appreciated but has not been extensively modeled. We show that an implementation of frame primitives in a parallel, connectionist model has special virtues in understanding many aspects of perceptual dynamics. (Author)
Fouilles Massives d'Archives Spectroscopiques : L'Observatoire Virtuel, de la Vapeur d'Eau Atmosphérique au Carbone dans les Astéroïdes.

C'est a l'intersection des domaines de recherches qu'il y a aujourd'hui le plus de chance de participer a une decouverte majeure. Les domaines eux-meme sont tres bien couverts et c'est vrai qu'il faut parfois tant se specialiser que les aspects marginaux nous echappent. Voila une motivation qui sort des motivations scientifiques actuelles telles que la comprehension de la destruction de l'ozone polaire, l'evolution de notre climat, ou la recherche d'une vie en dehors de notre planete. C'est pourtant egalement une motivation qui permet d'etre simultanement sur plusieurs sujets brulants du moment. Ainsi, mon travail passe, actuel et probablement futur sur les atmospheres et les climats de la Terre en particulier et en planetologie en general montrent bien le fil conducteur de mes recherches. La spectroscopie et la mod elisation radiative etaient mes outils qui jusqu'a present marquaient les limites de ces recherches.

Sources of Process Interactions in Reading.

Abstract : This paper presents the view that skilled reading is the result of the successful acquisition of a number of highly automatic component processes that operate together in an integrated and mutually facilitating manner. Studies of good and poor readers are described representing three general domains of processing: decoding, analyzing and comprehending text, and integrating contextual and perceptual information in encoding words and phrases. Three types of interactions occurring within the framework of these processing domains are discussed. They are: (1) bottom-up processing interactions, (2) top-down processing interactions, and (3) sequential interactions in text processing. Results of studies of perceptual and linguistic subprocesses in word analysis illustrate interactions within this domain. Readers who were able to profit from orthographic regularity in encoding sets of letters were also able to efficiently recognize multiletter units covering a wide band of frequencies. The evidence shows all groups of readers used processes of orthographic analysis in recognizing words as well as in pronouncing pseudowords.
A Mathematical Approach to Self-Organized Criticality in Neural Networks

Self-organized criticality (SOC) is one of the key concepts to describe the emergence of complexity in natural systems. Recently a candidate for a SOC system has been found in the recordings from cortical tissue. In this dissertation we answer two related questions. First, how it is possible to analytically and numerically model and explain SOC in neural networks. And second, which properties possesses the mathematical model of critical network.
