description: Die Erforschung des Zusammenhangs zwischen Alter und Spracherwerb ist ein wichtiges Arbeitsgebiet der internationalen Spracherwerbsforschung, der Neurowissenschaften und auch der Sprachlehr- und -lernforschung. Es werden dabei Antworten u.a. auf die folgenden Fragen gesucht: 1. Gibt es altersbedingte Unterschiede in der Schnelligkeit, mit der eine Zweitsprache und/oder eine Fremdsprache erworben werden? 2. Unterscheiden sich Lernende verschiedener Altersstufen in den Prozessen, mit denen sie eine Zweitsprache und/oder eine Fremdsprache erwerben bzw. verarbeiten? 3. Welches Kompetenzprofil können Erwachsene beim Erwerb einer Zweitsprache und/oder beim Lernen einer Fremdsprache erreichen?
The deformation behaviour of fibre-reinforced copper.
Creators: name: Howard, Graeme Claude
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The deformation behaviour of copper, reinforced with iron and steel fibres has been investigated. Parameters studied include: fibre diameter, matrix mean free path, and relative strength of fibre and matrix. No strengthening effect has been observed which can be attributed to fibre size alone. However, it is suggested that the strength of metal fibre-reinforced metal, composites are greatly influenced, by a "size effect" in the matrix. A modification of the theory of combined action has been proposed for predicting the strength of a fibre-reinforced composite, viz: [ Equation omitted ] where A is volume fraction, f refers to fibre, m refers to matrix, df is fibre diameter, and K is a constant whose value depends on the hardness of the fibre. Weakening of the matrix-fibre interface in composites of copper and steel fibres has been attributed to segregation of carbon to the interface. Alloys containing 6 to 8 weight per cent copper in iron have been shown to exhibit a martensitic transformation when cooled from the ɣ region of the Fe-Cu phase diagram.
The relationship between goal orientation, sportspersonship, and sport participation on moral reasoning
Creators: name: Shrout, Marcella Rose
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2013

description: This paper examined the main effects and interactions of achievement goal orientation, sportspersonship orientation, and sport participation on athletes? and non-athletes? moral judgments in both sport and non-sport scenarios. The results indicated that sport participation only affected moral judgments in sport scenarios, supporting bracketed morality theory. Athletes reported less harsh moral judgments than non-athletes only in the sport scenarios. Participants who were more task-oriented and more positive sportspersonship oriented reported harsher moral judgments in sport scenarios, and participants who were more ego-oriented and more negative sportspersonship oriented reported less harsh moral judgments in sport scenarios. Non-athletes with a positive sportspersonship orientation reported harsher moral judgments in sport scenarios. In non-sport scenarios, participants who were more ego-oriented reported less harsh moral judgments in non-sport scenarios, and participants who were more positive sportspersonship oriented reported harsher judgments in non-sport scenarios.

description: Das Wort hat keinen Plural. Und wir machen uns kaum einen Begriff davon, wie sehr es die Menschheit seit jeher beschäftigt. Grimms Deutsches Wörterbuch lässt sich in dem Band 8, der einen Rahmen von Wörtern aufspannt zwischen Glibber und Gräzist, auf sage und schreibe über 200 Seiten (226-430) über Herkunft, Bedeutung, Gebrauch und die unterschiedlichsten Zusammenhänge des Wortes Glück aus. Den Ausgang eines Geschehens, einer Angelegenheit, das Geschick, Schicksal bis hin zum Zufall, alles das bis in feinste Bedeutungsverästelungen umgreift der Begriff Glück - und wird doch zumeist im Verständnis der lateinischen fortuna, der glückspendenden Macht, gebraucht. Glück gehabt, wenn sich Fortuna uns zuwendet, wendet sie sich aber ab, bedeutet das Unglück.

description: Several properties of the M31 disk, namely: opacity, extinction law and gas-to-dust ratio are studied by means of optical and near-infrared photometry of ten globular clusters and galaxies seen through the disk. The individual extinctions of these objects were estimated with respect to several sets of theoretical spectral energy distributions for globulars and galaxies. Seven targets are consistent with reddened globulars, two - with starburst galaxies and one - with an elliptical. The extinction estimates agree with semi-transparent disk (Av ~ 1) in the inter-arm regions. The total-to-selective extinction ratio in those regions 2.75 is lower on average than the typical Galactic value of Rv=3.1. We also obtained a gas-to-dust ratio, similar to that in the the Milky way. It shows no correlation with the distance from the M31 center.

External factors in presidential war authority
Creators: name: Manning, Scott
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2013

description: This thesis addresses the evolution of presidential war authority and key ?external factors? influencing presidential war authority, examining these factors in three recent presidential administrations. The evolution of executive war authority follows a historical pattern: the exercise of executive war power has varied from weak during America's beginnings to very strong since the early 20th century. The thesis explores the reasons for this development and distinguishes several influential factors that fueled and sustained this growth. The thesis, however, also explores the manner in which these ?external factors? can work to limit presidential war authority as well. In the final analysis, despite the existence of some limiting factors on presidential war authority, the research suggests a strong likelihood of increasing presidential power in the areas of foreign affairs and, particularly, war making.

Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2013

description: Using hearing assistance technologies (HAT) can increase quality of life and increase the ability to live independently for those with hearing loss. However, past research indicated only a small number of people use HAT. The purpose of this study was to identify: a) how familiar people are with HAT, b) how useful they believe HAT are for them, and c) how useful HAT are for people with hearing loss. Additionally, the study identified how much money people expected each device to cost and how much money they were willing to pay for each device. The study consisted of a questionnaire containing pictures and a short description of 20 different HAT. Respondents were 50 audiology patients from three different audiology practices in the Baltimore metropolitan area. Results of the study indicated people are not familiar with most HAT; however respondents indicated HAT would be useful for other people with hearing loss.

description: Früher Fremdsprachenerwerb, spielerisches Fremdsprachenlernen oder Fremdsprachen im Kindergarten sind Themen, die im Bereich der Mehrsprachigkeitsforschung eine immer größere Rolle spielen. Nach dem Motto „je früher, desto besser“ offerieren immer mehr Kindergärten, Kindertagesstätten und Grundschulen das Erlernen einer Fremdsprache von Kindesbeinen an. Einer der federführenden Akteure bei der Unterstützung solcher Projekte und ihrer Erforschung ist der Verein für Frühe Mehrsprachigkeit an Kindertageseinrichtungen und Schulen, in dem auch namhafte Forscher zum frühen Fremdsprachenerwerb organisiert sind. Ein weiterer Aspekt des zu besprechenden Themas ist die Mehrsprachigkeit auf europäischer Ebene. Diese wird immer mehr als Schlüsselkompetenz für zukünftige Bürger der europäischen Gesellschaft wahrgenommen. Seit 2005 wird an einem Strategiepapier zur Mehrsprachigkeit gearbeitet, eine Expertenkommission beschäftigt sich seitdem mit der Ausarbeitung eines europäischen Konzepts der Mehrsprachigkeit.

Es war meiner Aufmerksamkeit jedoch entgangen, dass es sich hier um 12 Beiträge ein- und derselben Person handelt, die – wie ich dann feststellen konnte – Rückblick hält über den eigenen akademischen Lebensweg und die damals (und heute) relevanten Fragen der allgemeinen und auch der fachspezifischen Hochschuldidaktik, die anhand der eigenen Beiträge zum Thema erneut und im Zusammenhang dargestellt werden sollen. Im Vorwort wird dann klar, dass hier die Überlegungen des Autors „zu den mir wichtig erscheinenden Fragen der vergangenen zehn Jahre“ (7) zusammengeführt werden sollen. Allerdings entstammt der erste Beitrag einem Sammelband der 60er Jahre des vorigen Jahrhunderts und auch die bibliographischen Referenzen eines großen Teils der anderen Beiträge sind mehrheitlich älter als 10 Jahre und nur die neuesten Referenzen reichen über die Jahrtausendwende hinaus.

The effects of hearing protection and experience on the ability to identify firearms by their auditory signatures
Creators: name: Peitsch, Katherine
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2013

description: Hearing protection devices are used to attenuate loud sounds that could be potentially damaging to the ear and cause hearing loss. The attenuation provided by hearing protection helps to reduce the risk of noise induced hearing loss, but it also attenuates important auditory cues for detection, localization, and identification of sounds. Many soldiers report that they do not wear hearing protection because they believe it compromises their situational awareness. This loss of auditory cues could be detrimental to soldiers who rely on their hearing for awareness of friendly or enemy troops and resources as well as for communication of orders. The purpose of this study was to determine if hearing protection devices had a negative effect on the ability of listeners to identify firearms by their auditory signatures. A secondary purpose was to determine if experience using small arms had an effect on recognition of weapon type as well. Results of this study for one- and three-shot listening conditions suggested that hearing protection does have a detrimental effect on identification abilities; participants scored lower when listening with hearing protection than with an open ear. A significant difference in scores was observed between the hearing protection and open ear listening conditions overall as well as in a one-shot condition. No significant differences were seen between one- and three-shot conditions, nor between the expert and novice experience groups. Based on these findings, hearing protection devices can have a small, but significant negative impact on identification of small arms fire. Despite this negative effect, it is still important for soldiers to wear hearing protection because noise induced hearing loss can have a greater impact on auditory skills.

description: In complex electromagnetic environments it can often be difficult to determine whether signals received by an antenna array emanated from the same source. The failure to appropriately assign signal reception events to the correct emission event makes accurate localisation of the signal source impossible. In this paper we show that as the received signal events must lie on the light-cone of the emission event the Cayley-Menger determinate calculated from using the light-cone geodesic distances between received signals must be zero. This result enables us to construct an algorithm for sorting received signals into groups corresponding to the same far-field emission.

How real is good enough? 300 degrees of virtual immersion
Creators: name: Patton, Debbie
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2013

description: Presence research lacks the assessment of interactions between psychological and physiological responses in interactive immersive environments. Additionally, a consensus regarding how to best examine presence does not exist. This research investigated measures to identify and provide operationally-relevant information regarding the realism of presence in a 300-degree immersive simulation. Participants engaged in a Shoot-Don't-Shoot simulation under three types of feedback: 1) shock, 2) life-bar, and 3) no feedback. It was hypothesized that: 1) the shock condition would be more immersive, 2) shock condition performance would be better than the other two conditions, 3) trait uncertainty would a) correlate immersion responses and b) moderate the stress experience. Both hypotheses 1 and 3b were supported. Immersion was significantly greater in the shock condition compared to the other feedback conditions. The shock condition was associated with more incorrect decisions, sometimes referred to as ?spray and pray.? Recommendations for effective immersive training strategies are included.

description: This contribution is concerned with German as a Second Language in the context of testing for citizenship requirements. The changes to German citizenship and immigration laws and the introduction of integration courses and citizenship testing in Germany are discussed and compared to the situation in Australia, a country of immigration par excellence. The importance of language in the context of citizenship testing in both countries is critically discussed and linked to an examination of a concept of “integration” that does not seem mutually inclusive, but rather assumes linguistic integration on the part of the immigrant aspiring to citizenship rights.

description: By the early 1990s the themes binding American Jewish life were experiencing irrevocable change. Formal emigration and religious barriers for Jews in the former Soviet Union had ended. The task of commemorating the Holocaust was entrenched. Finally, the 1993 Israeli-PLO signing of the Olso Accords seriously challenged American Jewry's unity in politically defending an embattled Israel. Meanwhile, mounting internal American Jewish communal concerns included confronting intermarriage, declining Jewish identity measurements, and rising tensions between Orthodox and non-Orthodox Jews over Israeli government attempts to redefine the ?Who is a Jew?? issue. At the same time, membership groups declined, the influence of ?mega-donors? rose, and the sense being in a collective community weakened. By the end of the Oslo period and the start of the Second Intifada, American Jewish groups quickly again rushed to defend Israel, but they found an overall smaller, less interested and more divided community than in the past.

description: Much of what we know about the electronic states of high-temperature superconductors is due to photoemission and scanning tunneling spectroscopy studies of the compound Bi2212. The demonstration of well-defined quasiparticles in the superconducting state has encouraged many theorists to apply the conventional theory of metals, Fermi-liquid theory, to the cuprates. In particular, the spin excitations observed by neutron scattering at energies below twice the superconducting gap energy are commonly believed to correspond to an excitonic state involving itinerant electrons. Here, we present the first measurements of the magnetic spectral weight of optimally-doped Bi2212 in absolute units. The lack of temperature dependence of the local spin susceptibility across the superconducting transition temperature, T_c, is incompatible with the itinerant calculations. Alternatively, the magnetic excitations could be due to local moments, as the magnetic spectrum is similar to that in LBCO where quasiparticles and local moments coexist.

description: We address the pair of conjugated field modes obtained from parametric-downconversion as a convenient system to analyze the quantum-classical transition in the continuous variable regime. We explicitly evaluate intensity correlations, negativity and entanglement for the system in a thermal state and show that a hierarchy of nonclassicality thresholds naturally emerges in terms of thermal and downconversion photon number. We show that the transition from quantum to classical regime may be tuned by controlling the intensities of the seeds and detected by intensity measurements. Besides, we show that the thresholds are not affected by losses, which only modify the amount of nonclassicality. The multimode case is also analyzed in some detail.

description: We show how Stokes' Theorem, in the fashion of the Generalised Cauchy Formula, can be applied for computing double-cut integrals of one-loop amplitudes analytically. It implies the evaluation of phase-space integrals of rational functions in two complex-conjugated variables, which are simply computed by an indefinite integration in a single variable, followed by Cauchy's Residue integration in the conjugated one. The method is suitable for the cut-construction of the coefficients of 2-point functions entering the decomposition of one-loop amplitudes in terms of scalar master integrals.

Creators: name: Roche, Jörg
Publisher: name: Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt
Year: 2023

description: In der Migrationsforschung spielen Sprachkenntnisse bisher eine eher nachgeordnete Rolle. Abgesehen von wenigen Studien zur Wirksamkeit sprachlicher Integrationsmaßnahmen finden sprachliche Aspekte am ehesten bei der Bildungsplanung (zum Beispiel dem Bedarf an „muttersprachlichem Förderunterricht“), bei der Bemessung des Integrationsgrades und bei der Bewertung beruflicher Chancen der Migranten bzw. bei der Erhebung des Bedarfs an fremd- oder mehrsprachigen Arbeitskräften Berücksichtigung. Da verlässliche Daten meist nicht vorliegen oder nur mit einem größeren Aufwand zu erheben sind, behilft sich die Migrationsforschung in der Regel mit Selbsteinschätzungen der Betroffenen. Wie auch in anderen Bereichen der Sozialforschung, haben sich Selbsteinschätzungen aber als wenig zuverlässig erwiesen. Der Beitrag setzt sich kritisch mit den Verfahren und Schlussfolgerungen dieser Studien auseinander, die immer wieder herangezogen werden, um eine Defizienzkultur von Mehrsprachigkeit zu porträtieren und zu perpetuieren. Bei Berücksichtigung fachgerechter Parameter aus der neueren Erwerbs-, Mehrsprachigkeits- und Bildungsforschung zeigt sich jedoch, dass konstruktive Perspektiven auf Mehrsprachigkeit dem oft noch schlummernden Potenzial in mehrsprachigen Kompetenzen auch unter wirtschaftlichen Gesichtspunkten wesentlich besser gerecht werden.

Surface Alfven Wave Damping in a 3D Simulation of the Solar Wind

description: Here we investigate the contribution of surface Alfven wave damping to the heating of the solar wind in minima conditions. These waves are present in regions of strong inhomogeneities in density or magnetic field (e. g., the border between open and closed magnetic field lines). Using a 3-dimensional Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) model, we calculate the surface Alfven wave damping contribution between 1-4 solar radii, the region of interest for both acceleration and coronal heating. We consider waves with frequencies lower than those that are damped in the chromosphere and on the order of those dominating the heliosphere. In the region between open and closed field lines, within a few solar radii of the surface, no other major source of damping has been suggested for the low frequency waves we consider here. This work is the first to study surface Alfven waves in a 3D environment without assuming a priori a geometry of field lines or magnetic and density profiles. We determine that waves with frequencies >2.8x10^-4 Hz are damped between 1-4 solar radii. In quiet sun regions, surface Alfven waves are damped at further distances compared to active regions, thus carrying additional wave energy into the corona. We compare the surface Alfven wave contribution to the heating by a variable polytropic index and find that it an order of magnitude larger than needed for quiet sun regions. For active regions the contribution to the heating is twenty percent. As it has been argued that a variable gamma acts as turbulence, our results indicate that surface Alfven wave damping is comparable to turbulence in the lower corona. This damping mechanism should be included self consistently as an energy driver for the wind in global MHD models.

description: Das Thema Deutsch als Zweitsprache, vor über einer Generation geboren, erfährt seit einigen Jahren eine Art Wiedergeburt in Deutschland. Das liegt daran, dass die Politik – aufgeschreckt von Bildungsstudien vieler Provenienz – mit steter Vehemenz darauf hinweist, dass es auch in Deutschland – mit den Worten des Migrationsforschers Klaus Bade – großen Bedarf für eine nachholende Integration gibt. Die Sprache, so hat die Politik dementsprechend erkannt, ist der Schlüssel genau zu dieser Integration. Die, die Integration wollen, sind sich daher auch einig, dass mehr in die sprachliche Integration zu investieren sei, als das bisher (nicht nur in Deutschland) geschieht. Der Nationale Integrationsplan der Bundesregierung, Folge des Integrationsgipfels, und die daraus resultierenden Handlungs- und Aktionspläne der Länder verpflichten sich daher auf eine Reihe weitreichender Maßnahmen, die in einer relativ kurzen Zeit von drei Jahren umzusetzen wären. Dazu gehört unter anderem das Ziel, alle Lehrkräfte aller Schularten und aller Fächer künftig in DaZ mehr oder weniger umfangreich aus-, fort- oder weiterzubilden. Pilotprojekte schießen überall aus dem Boden, neue Studiengänge werden eingerichtet oder reformiert, der Bund führt mit großem finanziellen Aufwand Integrations- und Orientierungskurse durch, Professuren werden eingerichtet oder umgewidmet, kurz: es herrscht Aufbruchstimmung. Gleichzeitig scheint das Fach wenigstens in Teilen von all dem Aktionismus überrascht, fast so, als habe man sich mit dem Status quo ante zufrieden gegeben. Diese Lücken und den Mangel an Kohärenz im genuinen Fach DaZ nutzen freilich andere, um daraus ihren Nutzen zu ziehen: so gibt es für die Unterrichtspraxis eine Reihe Anbieter von Wundermethoden, häufig alternativen, die oft für teures Geld Schulträger einfangen, um sie zur Kasse zu bitten. Selten (wenn überhaupt) sind die Methoden jedoch wissenschaftlich evaluiert oder hat sich in Evaluationsstudien ein positiver Effekt nachweisen lassen (vgl. etwa die Ergebnisse der EVAS Studie 2007). Gleichzeitig ist aber auch zu beobachten, dass sich eine Reihe von Wissenschaftsvertreterinnen und Vertretern aus Disziplinen, die etwas weiter weg von Fragen des Spracherwerbs und der Mehrsprachigkeit operieren – mit mehr oder minder Sachkenntnis, aber gewagten Thesen – auf dem Gebiet der DaZ-Forschung zu profilieren versuchen.

description: Radial metallicity gradients are observed in the disks of the Milky Way and in several other spiral galaxies. In the case of the Milky Way, many objects can be used to determine the gradients, such as HII regions, B stars, Cepheids, open clusters and planetary nebulae. Several elements can be studied, such as oxygen, sulphur, neon, and argon in photoionized nebulae, and iron and other elements in cepheids, open clusters and stars. As a consequence, the number of observational characteristics inferred from the study of abundance gradients is very large, so that in the past few years they have become one of the main observational constraints of chemical evolution models. In this paper, we present some recent observational evidences of abundance gradients based on several classes of objects. We will focus on (i) the magnitude of the gradients, (ii) the space variations, and (iii) the evidences of a time variation of the abundance gradients. Some comments on recent theoretical models are also given, in an effort to highlight their predictions concerning abundance gradients and their variations.

Development of a protocol for fitting open fit personal FM systems
Creators: name: Bewick, Jaclyn
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2014

description: The aim of this study was to develop a protocol that can be used for audiological purposes in a clinical setting in order to measure the benefits of open fit personal frequency modulated (FM) systems. A total of 17 normal hearing and typically developing children (six females and 11 males), ages 8 to 17 years old, underwent real ear measurements (REMs), the Hearing in Noise Test (HINT), and several questionnaires such as the Listening Inventory For Education-United Kingdom version (LIFE-UK), the LIFE-UK student version, and a follow-up questionnaire in order to evaluate their perceived benefits with the FM system. Each test or task was timed to evaluate if the proposed protocol was clinically feasible. Results indicated that the established protocol should be considered when fitting open fit personal FM systems in the clinical setting. The time restrictions of the clinical setting were appropriately met with this protocol. Output verification measurements confirmed that the FM system was functioning appropriately for each participant. Improvements in speech perception were observed in competing noise with use of the FM system; therefore, speech-in-noise testing was considered an appropriate measure for evaluating the potential benefits of an FM system. Even though the responses from the follow-up questionnaires were not statistically significant, the results indicated that participants perceived benefits in using the FM under noisy conditions. The results from this pilot study indicated that future studies should include a larger sample size in order to assist in confirmation of these results.

Development of a screening battery for auditory processing disorder in 6-year olds
Creators: name: Sperling, Lindsay M.
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2013

description: Diagnostic assessment of Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) is currently limited to children 7 years of age and older (AAA, 2010; ASHA, 2005). This is due to the variability of auditory processing (AP) abilities in children younger than 7 years of age (AAA, 2010; ASHA, 2005; Bavin, Grayden, Scott, & Stefanakis, 2010; Dawes & Bishop, 2008; Stollman, van Velzen, Simkens, Snik, & van den Broek, 2003; Stollman, Neijenhuis, Jansen, Simkens, Snik, & van den Broek, 2004a; Stollman, van Velzen, Simkens, Snik, & van den Broek, 2004b). It has been recommended that children younger than 7 years of age who present with listening difficulties be screened for APD (Musiek, Gollegly, Lamb, & Lamb, 1990a). To explore the possibility of early identification through screening, this pilot study looked at the feasibility of screening 6-year-old children for APD. A battery of APD measures comprised of the Auditory Figure Ground + 8 dB SNR test, the Dichotic Digits Test (DDT), and a revised Pitch Pattern Sequence (PPS) test, was administered to 23 typically developing 6-year old children. With modifications to administration, stimuli and scoring, the battery was successfully administered to all participants. A moderate amount of variability was noted on both the DDT and the revised PPS test and a ceiling effect was noted on the AFG + 8 dB SNR test. Results suggest that with the addition of more data collected from a larger sample size, usable normative data ranges for the DDT and revised PPS test could be created for 6-year olds. Due to the ceiling effect noted on the AFG + 8 dB SNR test, a more challenging speech-in-noise measure that better mimics a typical classroom environment should be administered in a future study. Participants with a history of Otitis Media with Effusion (OME) or Pressure Equalization (PE) tubes had poorer phonological processing abilities than those with unremarkable otologic histories; however all participants? language abilities were judged to be normal based on the results of two language screening measures administered as a part of this pilot study. No gender or age (6:0 to 6:5 versus 6:6 to 6:11) effects were found on language or AP abilities. It should be noted that this study had a small sample size; therefore these findings should be interpreted with caution. More research is needed with a larger sample size before this screening battery can be used clinically.

Auditory localization of steady state and impulse sounds in an urban relevant, reverberant environment
Creators: name: Bernhard, Sara K.
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2014

description: Auditory localization has been extensively studied in a free field environment but it is less understood in a complex, reverberant environment. Auditory localization abilities were assessed for 24 normal hearing participants aged 18 to 30 years. All participants took part in a source identification task that was conducted using a lap top computer and insert earphones. Participants were asked to identify which of the four sound source locations a stimulus was presented. This task was completed using two different noise stimuli (impulse, steady state) and five different manikin positions. Results revealed that the sound source location and manikin position significantly impacted localization performance in a reverberant environment. For example, manikin positions and sound source locations located next to two reverberant sources resulted in a decline in localization abilities. Although the type of stimulus did not affect performance overall, stimulus type did impact localization performance at different manikin position and sound source location combinations. This study provides additional information regarding auditory localization in a complex, reverberant environment.

The effect of packet loss on Network Intrusion Detection
Creators: name: Smith, Sidney Charles
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2013

description: In this thesis we review the problem of packet loss as it pertains to Network Intrusion Detection with the intent to build a model that can be used to predict the impact of packet loss. We examine the potential places where packet loss may occur dividing the problem into network, host, and sensor based packets loss. We review the literature not only for other similar work, but for any work which might provide insight into this issue. We posit theories about how that packet loss may present itself. We construct a test environment and conduct experiments to induce packet loss in this environment. We develop the Packet Dropper application that induces packet loss into a dataset based upon eight different dropping algorithms selected to cover the theories previously posited. We apply each of these eight algorithms with drop rates ranging from 0% to 100% in 5% increments to the DARPA 98 Training, DARPA 98 Test, DARPA 99, CDX 2009, and CCDC 2010 datasets analyzing the resulting abridged datasets with Snort to collect alert information. The Alert Loss Rate (ALR) is plotted against the packet loss rate (PLR) allowing us to make general inferences about the relationship between PLR and ALR. In this paper we discovered that deterministic, bounded random, and random algorithms closely match the dropping patterns found in the literature and that a capped algorithm models the packet loss that we observed in our experiments. We present formulas that provide reasonable upper and lower bounds for the impact of PLR on ALR allowing us to predict this impact with some level of confidence.
