An Elicitation Study on Multi-modal Interactions with Immersive Data
Creators: name: Farajian, Samin
Publisher: name: Science
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Computer Science

description: In the rapidly advancing domain of Extended Reality (XR), technological progress has introduced a broad spectrum of input and interaction methods. This thesis investigates user preferences for interacting with immersive data via a head-mounted display (HMD). We introduce two task types based on the existing task taxonomy in the context of data interaction in an immersive environment. The results of an elicitation study are presented by examining user preferences and measuring interaction agreements based on these two task types. Specifically, the study aims to determine which body-based interactions users naturally prefer when engaging in various tasks to interact with data visualizations. Additionally, it seeks to gain insights into how the distance from immersive data influences users' experiences and preferred interactions. Our goal is to gather insights to develop guidelines that contribute to designing interactions with immersive data in single-user applications.

description: The transport properties of a suspended carbon nanotube probed by means of a STM tip are investigated. A microscopic theory of the coupling between electrons and mechanical vibrations is developed. It predicts a position-dependent coupling constant, sizeable only in the region where the vibron is located. This fact has profound consequences on the transport properties, which allow to extract information on the location and size of the vibrating portions of the nanotube.

On self-complementarity relations of neutrino mixing

description: With the latest results of a large mixing angle $θ_{13}$ for neutrinos by the T2K, MINOS and Double Chooz experiments, we find that the self-complementarity (SC) relations agree with the data in some angle-phase parametrizations of the lepton mixing matrix. There are three kinds of self-complementarity relations: (1) $\vartheta_i+\vartheta_j=\vartheta_k=45^\circ$; (2) $\vartheta_i+\vartheta_j=\vartheta_k$; (3) $\vartheta_i+\vartheta_j=45^\circ$ (where $i$, $j$, $k$ denote the mixing angles in the angle-phase parametrizations). We present a detailed study on the self-complementarity relations in nine different angle-phase parametrizations, and also examine the explicit expressions in reparametrization-invariant form, as well as their deviations from global fit. These self-complementarity relations may lead to new perspective on the mixing pattern of neutrinos.

Farnesylation-mediated control of skotomorphogenesis and seedling establishment in Arabidopsis thaliana

description: Skotomorphogenesis is growth in the dark, a critical process in the establishment of seedlings for all crop systems in which the seed is sown below the soil surface. Regulation of skotomorphogenesis, seedling growth, plant development, and stress tolerance has been shown to involve the interplay and negative interactions between the signalling and synthesis of the stress hormone abscisic acid (ABA) and the growth hormone brassinosteroid (BR). Mutations or modifications resulting in reduced BR synthesis have been shown to enhance perception of ABA for improved stress responses and overall drought tolerance. A previous study demonstrated that the farnesyltransferase, Enhanced Response to ABA 1 (ERA1), is required for BR synthesis through farnesylation of the terminal enzyme of the BR biosynthesis pathway. However, new evidence suggests that the absence of ERA1 can directly impact the BR-dependent skotomorphogenic response as farnesylation may be important in the activity of downstream genes associated with BR-induced signalling. Screening BR-regulated gene expression for potential substrates for farnesylation has yielded three likely candidate proteins: a bHLH-type transcription factor of the Phytochrome-Interacting Factor (PIF) group, PIF3; and a pair of cell-wall modification enzymes of the Xyloglucan endotransglycosylase/hydrolase (XTH) family, XTH22 and XTH23. Complementation experiments revealed that PIF3 lacking farnesylation was unable to rescue the skotomorphogenic defects observed in the multigenic pifq mutant background. PIF3 farnesylation was further shown to be required for transcriptional activity of PIF3 in the transgenic seedling. This study has directly linked PIF3 farnesylation with transcriptional control during skotomorphogenesis. Additional experiments highlighted the complexity of farnesylation-mediated regulation among downstream effectors. Methods and tools developed in this study can be used to verify additional targets responsible for the impact of farnesylation on seedling growth.

description: Traffic congestion on a road segment typically begins as a small-scale spatiotemporal event that can then propagate throughout a road network and produce large-scale disruptions to a transportation system. In current techniques for the analysis of network flow, data is often aggregated to relatively large (e.g. 5 min) discrete time steps that obscure the small-scale spatiotemporal interactions that drive larger-scale dynamics. We propose a new method that handles fine-grained data to better capture those dynamics. Propagation patterns of traffic congestion are represented as spatiotemporally connected events. Each event is captured as a time series at the temporal resolution of the available trajectory data and at the spatial resolution of the network edge. The spatiotemporal propagation patterns of traffic congestion are captured using Dynamic Time Warping and represented as a set of directed acyclic graphs of spatiotemporal events. Results from this method are compared to an existing method using fine-grained data derived from an agent-based model of traffic simulation. Our method outperforms the existing method. Our method also successfully detects congestion propagation patterns that were reported by media news using sparse real-world data derived from taxis.

description: In this thesis I propose approaching multi-strand films in a way that extends our focus beyond narrative strategy, arguing that the assemblage of narrative threads in fact infers a larger spatial mosaic. In this mosaic, spaces with diverse socioeconomic and geopolitical backgrounds, historical implications, and virtualities are interwoven through a variety of cinematic means, which include not only narrative but also editing, framing and mise-en-scene. In addition, I demonstrate that in certain auteurs’ works the construction of filmic mosaic space correlates with the bringing-together of film professionals, locations, financial resources and distribution routes across borders through the auteurs’ travelling. Hence this thesis lies in the intersection between the cinematic manifestations of mosaic space, spatial representations, and transnational filmmaking networks facilitated by authorship. Since the term “mosaic” is used here as a spatial metaphor to connect the interlinking concepts of space, narrative, and authorship, I term the travelling auteurs “mosaic auteurs”, the multistrand narrative “mosaic narrative”, and the assembled film space “mosaic space”. I will use the filmmaking contexts and film works of Michael Haneke, Hou Hsiao-hsien, Atom Egoyan and Alejandro González Iñárritu as examples, and the spatial theories of Marc Augé, Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, Saskia Sassen, Mike Featherstone among others to explain the dynamism of spatial configurations.

An experimental study of liquid jet impingement on a moving surface : the effects of surrounding air pressure and fluid properties
Creators: name: Moulson, Jeremy Bryce Taylor
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The impingement of a high-speed liquid jet on a moving surface and the resulting deposition or splash is important in a variety of technical and industrial processes. Of particular interest is the coating of the top-of-rail surface, in the rail road industry, with a thin film of viscoelastic liquid friction modifier, by liquid jet impingement, to control friction and reduce wear at the wheel-rail interface, thereby reducing fuel consumption and maintenance costs. For effective operation it is required that the fluid deposited by the jet adhere to the surface after impingement. An experimental investigation into the effect of surrounding air pressure and fluid properties on liquid jet impingement on a moving surface was performed. The study was carried out with Newtonian liquids impacting smooth, dry surfaces. A variety of ambient air pressures, jet speeds, surface speeds, surface tensions, and liquid viscosities were studied. The interaction between the impinging jet and the moving surface was analysed through high-speed imaging. It was observed that, as is the case for Newtonian droplet impact, the surrounding air pressure plays a crucial role in the splashing behaviour of jet impingement. There exists a threshold pressure below which splash does not occur. It is proposed that for certain impingement conditions lamella detachment from the surface occurs due to aerodynamic forces acting on the leading edge of the lamella, which destabilizes the balance between surface tension and fluid pressure forces. It was observed that both the Reynolds number and Weber number were salient to the occurrence of lamella detachment, with lamella detachment having a non-linear dependence on the Reynolds number. Lamella detachment was prone to occur for intermediate Reynolds numbers as the Weber number was increased, bounded by regions of deposition at higher and lower Reynolds numbers.

description: Colmez conjectured a product formula for periods of abelian varieties with complex multiplication by a field K, analogous to the standard product formula in algebraic number theory. He proved this conjecture up to a rational power of 2 for K/Q abelian. In this paper, we complete the proof of Colmez for K/Q abelian by eliminating this power of 2. Our proof relies on analyzing the Galois action on the De Rham cohomology of Fermat curves in mixed characteristic (0, 2), which in turn relies on understanding the stable reduction of Z/2^n-covers of the projective line, branched at three points.

description: We study new FRW type cosmological models of modified gravity treated on the background of Palatini approach. These models are generalization of Einstein gravity by the presence of a scalar field non-minimally coupled to the curvature. The models employ Starobinsky's term in the Lagrangian and dust matter. Therefore, as a by-product, an exhausted cosmological analysis of general relativity amended by quadratic term is presented. We investigate dynamics of our models, confront them with the currently available astrophysical data as well as against LCDM model. We have used the dynamical system methods in order to investigate dynamics of the models. It reveals the presence of a final sudden singularity. Fitting free parameters we have demonstrated by statistical analysis that this class of models is in a very good agreement with the data (including CMB measurements) as well as with the standard LCDM model predictions. One has to use statefinder diagnostic in order to discriminate among them. Therefore Bayesian methods of model selection have been employed in order to indicate preferred model. Only in the light of CMB data the concordance model remains invincible.

description: A new set of projection operators is constructed to suitably handle non-relativistic theories of gravity with anisotropic scaling, including the ones with parity-violating terms. This alternative procedure allows us to discuss unitarity and spectral properties for different formulations of the Horava-Lifshitz gravity. This task, that generally involves lengthy algebraic steps, becomes more systematic and greatly simplified in terms of the projectors we work out. Moreover, this procedure allows us to fix the number of propagating degrees of freedom and the structure of gauge symmetries is readily determined. In order to test the efficacy of the technique at hand, the unitarity and low-energy regime of a general Horava-Lifshitz Gravity model are investigated.

description: We consider an inverse problem of identifying the unknown cavities in a heat conductor. Using the Neumann-to-Dirichlet map as an input data, we develop a linear sampling type method for the heat equation. A new feature is that there is a freedom to choose the time variable, which suggests that we have more data than the linear sampling methods for the inverse boundary value problem associated with EIT and inverse scattering problem with near field data.

description: The binding energies of neutron rich strangeness $S=-1$ hypernuclei are estimated in the chiral soliton approach using the bound state rigid oscillator version of the SU(3) quantization model. Additional binding of strange hypernuclei in comparison with nonstrange neutron rich nuclei takes place at not large values of atomic (baryon) numbers, $A=B\leq\sim 10$. This effect becomes stronger with increasing isospin of nuclides, and for "nuclear variant" of the model with rescaled Skyrme constant $e$. Total binding energies of (Lambda)He-8 and recently discovered (Lambda)H-6 satisfactorily agree with experimental data. Hypernuclei (Lambda)H-7, (Lambda)He-9 are predicted to be bound stronger in comparison with their nonstrange analogues H-7, He-9; hypernuclei (Lambda)Li-10, (Lambda)Li-11, (Lambda)Be-12, (Lambda)Be-13, etc. are bound stronger in the nuclear variant of the model.

title: Incorporating animal movement with distance sampling and spatial capture-recapture
Creators: name: Glennie, Richard
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2018

description: Distance sampling and spatial capture-recapture are statistical methods to estimate the number of animals in a wild population based on encounters between these animals and scientific detectors. Both methods estimate the probability an animal is detected during a survey, but do not explicitly model animal movement. The primary challenge is that animal movement in these surveys is unobserved; one must average over all possible paths each animal could have travelled during the survey. In this thesis, a general statistical model, with distance sampling and spatial capture-recapture as special cases, is presented that explicitly incorporates animal movement. An efficient algorithm to integrate over all possible movement paths, based on quadrature and hidden Markov modelling, is given to overcome the computational obstacles. For distance sampling, simulation studies and case studies show that incorporating animal movement can reduce the bias in estimated abundance found in conventional models and expand application of distance sampling to surveys that violate the assumption of no animal movement. For spatial capture-recapture, continuous-time encounter records are used to make detailed inference on where animals spend their time during the survey. In surveys conducted in discrete occasions, maximum likelihood models that allow for mobile activity centres are presented to account for transience, dispersal, and heterogeneous space use. These methods provide an alternative when animal movement causes bias in standard methods and the opportunity to gain richer inference on how animals move, where they spend their time, and how they interact.
title: Synthesis and Reactivity of Copper(I) and Aluminium(III) complexes of N-Heterocyclic Carbenes
Creators: name: Trose, Michael
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2017

description: N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands are nowadays an irreplaceable tool for the stabilisation of both transition metal (TM) and main group (MG) elements. NHC-TM complexes have been widely studied and successfully applied in catalysis, whereas NHCs have enabled the isolation and characterisation of elusive MG species, as for example with the MG element in a low oxidation state. In this thesis, investigation of both classes is covered, utilising copper(I) as TM and aluminium(III) as MG element. Regarding NHC-copper(I) species, the first investigation was their application as catalysts for the synthesis of 2-substituted oxazolines and 2-substituted thiazoline from nitriles and aminoalcohols or aminothiols respectively (Chapter 2).The second focus lies in the functionalisation of the copper centre by changing the anionic ligand to obtain new NHC-copper(I) complexes. Two different classes were synthesised, the first bears azole ligands (Chapter 3) and the second azide (Chapter 4). The former were applied in the hydrosilylation of ketones and mechanistic investigations were performed in order to ascertain the effect of both the NHC and azole ligand on catalytic activity. The latter was reacted with different organic molecules and with cationic NHC-copper(I) species to explore the reactivity of the azide moiety. Concerning NHC-aluminium(III) complexes, the main focus was the functionalisation of [AlH3(NHC)] species to obtain new compounds and study of their reactivity (Chapter 5). Different transformations, ranging from halogenation to the reaction with bis(pinacolato)diboron, are covered. Moreover, attempts to reduce Al(III) complexes to low valent aluminium species are presented.

description: There has been little exploration of the emergence of music therapy’s use with people with dementia. This historical research explores the development of music therapy’s use with people with dementia in the United States during the period between the start of the music therapy profession in 1950 and the unification of United States music therapy associations in 1997. A content analysis of materials from the American Music Therapy Association archive and oral history interviews with key figures and historians in music therapy revealed that research into music therapy and dementia began in the middle of 1985 and grew out of the emerging research interest in geriatric music therapy that began in 1974. Furthermore, a U.S. Senate Hearing in 1991 that successfully persuaded The United States Senate Special Committee on Aging to pass the Music Therapy for Older Americans Act was identified as central to the development of music therapy’s use with dementia populations due to the bill’s resultant surge of federal funding into music therapy research and the increased public awareness of music therapy’s beneficial effects on those with dementia from the hearing. Lastly, Paul Nordoff and Clive Robbins’ ‘creative music therapy’ and Tom Kitwood’s ‘person-centred dementia care’ shared humanistic approaches to treatment, creating a theoretical overlap that aided in the utilization of music therapy’s use as a more widespread treatment for dementia since the 1990s.

description: Recent data on the nuclear modification factor $R_{AA}$ of jet fragments in 2.76 ATeV Pb+Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) indicate that the jet-medium coupling in a Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) is reduced at LHC energies and not compatible with the coupling deduced from data at the Relativistic Hadron Collider (RHIC). We estimate the reduction factor from a combined fit to the available data on $R_{AA}(\sqrt{s},p_T,b)$ and the elliptic flow $v_2(\sqrt{s},p_T,b)$ at $\sqrt{s}=0.2,2.76$ ATeV over a transverse momentum range $p_T$ 10-100 GeV and a broad impact parameter, b, range. We use a simple analytic "polytrope" model ($dE/dx=- κE^{a} x^z T^{c}$) to investigate the dynamical jet-energy loss model dependence. Varying a=0-1 interpolates between weakly-coupled and strongly-coupled models of jet-energy dependence while z=0-2 covers a wide range of possible jet-path dependencies from elastic and radiative to holographic string mechanisms. Our fit to LHC data indicates an approximate 40% reduction of the coupling $κ$ from RHIC to LHC and excludes energy-loss models characterized by a jet-energy exponent with a>1/3. In particular, the rapid rise of $R_{AA}$ with $p_T$>10 GeV combined with the slow variation of the asymptotic $v_2(p_T)$ at the LHC rules out popular exponential geometric optics models (a=1). The LHC data are compatible with $0\leq a\leq 1/3$ pQCD-like energy-loss models where the jet-medium coupling is reduced by approximately 10% between RHIC and LHC.

description: Small galaxies consisting entirely of population III (pop III) stars may form at high redshifts, and could constitute one of the best probes of such stars. Here, we explore the prospects of detecting gravitationally lensed pop III galaxies behind the galaxy cluster J0717.5+3745 (J0717) with both the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). By projecting simulated catalogs of pop III galaxies at z~7-15 through the J0717 magnification maps, we estimate the lensed number counts as a function of flux detection threshold. We find that the ongoing HST survey CLASH, targeting a total of 25 galaxy clusters including J0717, potentially could detect a small number of pop III galaxies if ~1% of the baryons in these systems have been converted into pop III stars. Using JWST exposures of J0717, this limit can be pushed to ~0.1% of the baryons. Ultra-deep JWST observations of unlensed fields are predicted to do somewhat worse, but will be able to probe pop III galaxies with luminosities intermediate between those detectable in HST/CLASH and in JWST observations of J0717. We also explain how current measurements of the galaxy luminosity function at z=7-10 can be used to constrain pop III galaxy models with very high star formation efficiencies (~10% of the baryons converted into pop III stars).

In this paper, we prove in an explicit way that all torus invariant prime ideals of the algebras U^w_-(g) are polynormal. In the special case of the algebras of quantum matrices, this construction yields explicit polynormal generating sets consisting of quantum minors for all of their torus invariant prime ideals. This gives a constructive proof of the Goodearl-Lenagan polynormality conjecture. Furthermore we prove that Spec U^w_-(g) is normally separated for all simple Lie algebras g and Weyl group elements w, and deduce from it that all algebras U^w_-(g) are catenary.

description: The origin and structure of the magnetic fields in the interstellar medium of spiral galaxies is investigated with 3D, non-ideal, compressible MHD simulations, including stratification in the galactic gravity field, differential rotation and radiative cooling. A rectangular domain, 1x1x2 kpc^{3} in size, spans both sides of the galactic mid-plane. Supernova explosions drive transonic turbulence. A seed magnetic field grows exponentially to reach a statistically steady state within 1.6 Gyr. Following Germano (1992) we use volume averaging with a Gaussian kernel to separate magnetic field into a mean field and fluctuations. Such averaging does not satisfy all Reynolds rules, yet allows a formulation of mean-field theory. The mean field thus obtained varies in both space and time. Growth rates differ for the mean-field and fluctuating field and there is clear scale separation between the two elements, whose integral scales are about 0.7 kpc and 0.3 kpc, respectively.

description: We generalize $F$-signature to pairs $(R,D)$ where $D$ is a Cartier subalgebra on $R$ as defined by the first two authors. In particular, we show the existence and positivity of the $F$-signature for any strongly $F$-regular pair. In one application, we answer an open question of I. Aberbach and F. Enescu by showing that the $F$-splitting ratio of an arbitrary $F$-pure local ring is strictly positive. Furthermore, we derive effective methods for computing the $F$-signature and the $F$-splitting ratio in the spirit of the work of R. Fedder.

Living with Ghosts of Truth, Duty, and Valour: A Narrative Inquiry into Canadian Veterans’ Stories of Institutional Betrayal

description: Context. The term institutional betrayal (IB) has emerged as a way of conceptualizing the failure of powerful and trusted institutions to protect and support its members in the aftermath of traumatic events (Smith & Freyd, 2014). In the context of military service, research has found that IB may exacerbate military members’/veterans’ psychological distress in the aftermath of trauma, leading to more severe, complex forms of post-traumatic stress disorder (Monteith et al., 2016). While the literature pertaining to IB in the military has focused on experiences of veterans in the United States, there has yet to be a study investigating the experience of IB among Canadian military members/veterans. Goals. This study aimed to explore, in depth, Canadian military veterans’ experiences of IB. Through conversations with participants, I hoped to garner information that would provide guidance to psychological providers, military-veteran institution leaders, policymakers, and the military-veteran community on how to support military members’/veterans who have experienced IB. Methods. I employed narrative inquiry (NI; Clandinin, 2013) as the methodology for this dissertation. NI is a qualitative research methodology that views stories as a natural means of communication that people use to make meaning of their experiences in context (Clandinin, 2013; Clandinin & Connelly, 2000). I engaged in conversations and the co-composition of narrative accounts with three participants over the course of two years, meeting with each individual 6 to 10 times. Our conversations focused on stories of military service, harm or mistreatment endured during service, the veteran transition, and various life experiences that shaped participants’ experiences of service and IB. Results. Narrative accounts were written for each participant while attending to the three-dimensional NI space of temporality, sociality, and place. Across the three narrative accounts, five narrative threads were identified: (a) great expectations, (b) institutional camouflage, (c) shattered expectations, (d) stories to live by, and (e) ghosts of service. Discussion and Implications. Participants’ stories and the narrative threads were used to shape and inform implications for psychological practice, institutional policies and practices, and future research. The strengths, limitations, and future directions of this research were also identified.

Chaotic and Arnold stripes in weakly chaotic Hamiltonian systems

description: The dynamics in weakly chaotic Hamiltonian systems strongly depends on initial conditions and little can be affirmed about generic behaviors. Using two distinct Hamiltonian systems, namely one particle in an open rectangular billiard and four particles globally coupled on a discrete lattice, we show that in these models the transition from integrable motion to weak chaos emerges via chaotic stripes as the nonlinear parameter is increased. The stripes represent intervals of initial conditions which generate chaotic trajectories and increase with the nonlinear parameter of the system. In the billiard case the initial conditions are the injection angles. For higher-dimensional systems and small nonlinearities the chaotic stripes are the initial condition inside which Arnold diffusion occurs.

Effects of cyclic loading on the mechanical properties and failure of human patellar tendon

description: Patellar tendinopathy is a common overuse injury in sports such as volleyball, basketball, and long-distance running. Microdamage accumulation, in response to repetitive loading of the tendon, plays an important role in the pathophysiology of patellar tendinopathy. This damage presents mechanically as a reduction in Young’s modulus and an increase in residual strain. In this study, 19 human patellar tendon samples underwent cyclic testing in load control until failure, segmented by four ramped tests where digital image correlation (DIC) was used to assess anterior surface strain distributions. Ramped tests were performed prior to cyclic testing and at timepoints corresponding to 10%, 20%, and 30% of cyclic stiffness reduction. Young’s modulus significantly decreased and cyclic energy dissipation significantly increased over the course of cyclic testing. The DIC analysis illustrated a heterogeneous strain distribution, with strain concentrations increasing in magnitude and size over the course of cyclic testing. Peak stress and initial peak strain magnitudes significantly correlated with the number of cycles to failure (r2 = 0.65 and r2 = 0.57, respectively, p < 0.001); however, the rates of peak cyclic strain and modulus loss displayed the highest correlations with the number of cycles to failure (r2 = 96% and r2 = 86%, respectively, p < 0.001). The high correlation between the rates of peak cyclic strain and modulus loss suggest that non-invasive methods to continuously monitor tendon strain may provide meaningful predictions of overuse injury in the patellar tendon.
title: The application of Machine Learning for Early Detection of At -Risk Learners in Massive Open Online Courses
Creators: name: Al-Shabandar, R

description: With the rapid improvement of digital technology, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have emerged as powerful open educational learning platforms. MOOCs have been experiencing increased use and popularity in highly ranked universities in recent years. The opportunity to access high-quality courseware content within such platforms, while eliminating the burden of educational, financial and geographical obstacles has led to a growth in participant numbers. Despite the increasing participation in online courses, the low completion rate has raised major concerns in the literature. Identifying those students who are at-risk of dropping out could be a promising solution in solving the low completion rate in the online setting. Flagging at-risk students could assist the course instructors to bolster the struggling students and provide more learning resources. Although many prior studies have considered the dropout issue in the form of a sequence classification problem, such works only address a limited set of retention factors. They typically consider the learners’ activities as a sequence of weekly intervals, neglecting important learning trajectories. In this PhD thesis, my goal is to investigate retention factors. More specifically, the project seeks to explore the association of motivational trajectories, performance trajectories, engagement levels and latent engagement with the withdrawal rate. To achieve this goal, the first objective is to derive learners’ motivations based on Incentive Motivation theory. The Learning Analytic is utilised to classify student motivation into three main categories; Intrinsically motivated, Extrinsically motivated and Amotivation. Machine learning has been employed to detect the lack of motivation at early stages of the courses. The findings reveal that machine learning provides solutions that are capable of automatically identifying the students’ motivational status according to behaviourism theory. As the second and third objectives, three temporal dropout prediction models are proposed in this research work. The models provide dynamic assessment of the influence of the following factors; motivational trajectories, performance trajectories and latent engagement on students and the subsequent risk of them leaving the course. The models could assist the instructor in delivering more intensive intervention support to at-risk students. Supervised machine learning algorithms have been utilised in each model to identify the students who are in danger of dropping out in a timely manner. The results demonstrate that motivational trajectories and engagement levels are significant factors, which might influence the students’ withdrawal in online settings. On the other hand, the findings indicate that performance trajectories and latent engagement might not prevent students from completing online courses.
