The Impact of Tsunamigenic Earthquake on the Southeast Coast of Taiwan

Lien, Cheng-chia 17 January 2012 (has links)
The main topic of this research is the impact to the tsunami-inundated area of the southeast coast of Taiwan caused by earthquakes. According to regression relationship (G-R relation) between the earthquake magnitude and frequency proposed by Gutenberg and Richter (1944), the expected number of tsunamigenic earthquake is estimated. Using the linear shallow water equations of COMCOT (COrnell Multigrid COupled Tsunami model), the propagation of tsunami in the ocean is simulated, and the reciprocal Green's function was applied to save the computing time of COMCOT model. Then, the seismic solution parameters are substituted to acquire a water level distribution of tsunami. Solitary waves of different wave height are used to compute the range and the probability of tsunami inundation at the southeast coast of Taiwan.

Investigating student experiences with GitHub and Stack Overflow: an exploratory study

Bhasin, Trishala 29 July 2021 (has links)
Programmers who want to improve their skills and background in software development rely heavily on developer social platforms such as GitHub and Stack Overflow to enhance their learning. Stack Overflow provides answers to questions they have about languages or library skills they wish to acquire, while contributing to open-source projects hosted on sites like GitHub gives them valuable experience. Students also use these platforms during their education: most will rely heavily on Stack Overflow at some point in their schooling, while many can benefit from contributing to GitHub projects to build their expertise and professional portfolios. We already know from previous research that developers face barriers participating on these platforms, and therefore we may expect that at least some students will experience similar or possibly even bigger barriers. This research describes a semi-structured interview study followed by a survey with university students to explore how they use the GitHub and Stack Overflow platforms. I identified the benefits the students report from using these tools and the barriers they face. I have concluded with some preliminary recommendations on how to reduce the hurdles students may face with these and other developer social platforms, and I have also suggested future work to mitigate these roadblocks. / Graduate

Is there support for unattended visual phenomenal consciousness? : A systematic review

Fogelquist, Jennifer, Nilsdotter Swartswe, Johanna January 2023 (has links)
The phenomenal experience of our visual perception, what it is like to be in that state, is something that we might take for granted. However, looking closer at the neural correlates of visual processing in relation to phenomenal experience we recognize that it is a complex issue. Whether our subjective experience of our visual representation of the world is attached to cognitive functions, like working memory and attention, or whether some sort of richness overflows such functions, is an ongoing debate within cognitive neuroscience. Advocates for overflow argue that phenomenal experience is the result of activity in posterior occipito-temporo-parietal areas and is independent of attention, while those within the non-overflow position mean that for phenomenal awareness to arise activity in higher-level areas like the prefrontal lobe is needed. Finding evidence for unattended visual phenomenal consciousness without access consciousness would support the overflow position since it could indicate phenomenal experience as independent of attention. In addition to this debate, researchers need to keep in mind what methods are being used to measure phenomenal experience, since several biases potentially follow studies using introspective measures. Through this systematic review, a search string provided empirical studies based on fMRI that investigated unconscious and conscious visual processing. The results of this review show little or weak evidence for unattended visual phenomenal consciousness and do not seem to overflow cognitive functions.

Implementing a Lambda Architecture to perform real-time updates

Gudipati, Pramod Kumar January 1900 (has links)
Master of Science / Department of Computing and Information Sciences / William Hsu / The Lambda Architecture is the new paradigm for big data, that helps in data processing with a balance on throughput, latency and fault-tolerance. There exists no single tool that provides a complete solution in terms of better accuracy, low latency and high throughput. This initiated the idea to use a set of tools and techniques to build a complete big data system. The Lambda Architecture defines a set of layers to fit in a set of tools and techniques rightly for building a complete big data system: Speed Layer, Serving Layer, Batch Layer. Each layer satisfies a set of properties and builds upon the functionality provided by the layers beneath it. The Batch layer is the place where the master dataset is stored, which is an immutable and append-only set of raw data. Also, batch layer pre-computes results using a distributed processing system like Hadoop, Apache Spark that can handle large quantities of data. The Speed Layer captures new data coming in real time and processes it. The Serving Layer contains a parallel processing query engine, which takes results from both Batch and Speed layers and responds to queries in real time with low latency. Stack Overflow is a Question & Answer forum with a huge user community, millions of posts with a rapid growth over the years. This project demonstrates The Lambda Architecture by constructing a data pipeline, to add a new “Recommended Questions” section in Stack Overflow user profile and update the questions suggested in real time. Also, various statistics such as trending tags, user performance numbers such as UpVotes, DownVotes are shown in user dashboard by querying through batch processing layer.

Vertedor de superfície e escoamento sob comportas. / Spillway and draining under floodgates.

Arauz, Ivan Juncioni de 12 August 2005 (has links)
Os vertedores são estruturas hidráulicas construídas para controlar o nível d’água do reservatório, permitindo a passagem das vazões escoadas com a máxima eficiência possível sem provocar problemas à estrutura. Para atingir este objetivo, as condições de aproximação do escoamento à estrutura e a forma geométrica do perfil vertente são muito importantes. O controle da soleira por comportas provoca uma mudança significativa nas condições de escoamento sobre o perfil vertente. O posicionamento e a forma da comporta tem forte influência no comportamento do coeficiente de vazão e nas pressões sobre a soleira. A formação de vórtice é um fenômeno indesejável que pode ocorrer quando a operação da comporta é parcial, prejudicando a capacidade de vazão e provocando vibrações na estrutura. Este trabalho apresenta uma abordagem teórica sobre o assunto vertedor de superfície e escoamento sob comportas, apresentando resultados de diferentes estudos para melhor compreensão do funcionamento do vertedor. / Spillways are hydraulic structures constructed to control the water level of the reservoir, allowing the overflows with the maximum possible efficiency without provoking problems to the structure. The approach flow pattern to the structure and the geometric form of the spillway profile are basic importance. The control of the spillway by the floodgates modifies the draining conditions. The positioning and the form of the gate have strong influence in the behavior of the discharge coefficient and the pressures on the surface profile. A vortex formation is an undesirable phenomenon that it can occur when the operation of the floodgate is partial, reducing the discharge coefficient and produce vibrations in structure. This work presents a theoretical approach about flow over spillway and under of the partial opening of the floodgate, presenting results of different studies for better understanding the function of the spillway.

A Behavior-Driven Recommendation System for Stack Overflow Posts

Greco, Chase D 01 January 2018 (has links)
Developers are often tasked with maintaining complex systems. Regardless of prior experience, there will inevitably be times in which they must interact with parts of the system with which they are unfamiliar. In such cases, recommendation systems may serve as a valuable tool to assist the developer in implementing a solution. Many recommendation systems in software engineering utilize the Stack Overflow knowledge-base as the basis of forming their recommendations. Traditionally, these systems have relied on the developer to explicitly invoke them, typically in the form of specifying a query. However, there may be cases in which the developer is in need of a recommendation but unaware that their need exists. A new class of recommendation systems deemed Behavior-Driven Recommendation Systems for Software Engineering seeks to address this issue by relying on developer behavior to determine when a recommendation is needed, and once such a determination is made, formulate a search query based on the software engineering task context. This thesis presents one such system, StackInTheFlow, a plug-in integrating into the IntelliJ family of Java IDEs. StackInTheFlow allows the user to intervi act with it as a traditional recommendation system, manually specifying queries and browsing returned Stack Overflow posts. However, it also provides facilities for detecting when the developer is in need of a recommendation, defined when the developer has encountered an error messages or a difficulty detection model based on indicators of developer progress is fired. Once such a determination has been made, a query formulation model constructed based on a periodic data dump of Stack Overflow posts will automatically form a query from the software engineering task context extracted from source code currently open within the IDE. StackInTheFlow also provides mechanisms to personalize, over time, the results displayed to a specific set of Stack Overflow tags based on the results previously selected by the user. The effectiveness of these mechanisms are examined and results based the collection of anonymous user logs and a small scale study are presented. Based on the results of these evaluations, it was found that some of the queries issued by the tool are effective, however there are limitations regarding the extraction of the appropriate context of the software engineering task yet to overcome.
