Researching Effective Methods for Teaching the Phases of the MoonJones, Heather Patti 06 December 2012 (has links) (PDF)
This study investigated the effectiveness of commonly used instructional methods for teaching the phases of the Moon to fifth and sixth grade students. The instructional methods investigated were the use of diagrams, animations, and models. The effectiveness of each method was tested by measuring students' understanding of Moon phases with a pre and post-assessment after receiving instruction with a specific method or combination of methods. These methods were then evaluated for their ability to help students learn essential concepts, reinforce relevant vocabulary and discourage misconceptions. Results showed that students had better scores with less prevalence of misconception when they were taught using two methods instead of one. Students taught with only computer animations had significantly lower scores and a higher prevalence of misconceptions when compared to the other methods. This may be due to some design errors in the animation used in this study. Even though students taught with only computer animations had significantly lower scores, students taught with computer animations followed by instruction with diagrams had significantly higher scores. Why this combination of instruction was more effective for student learning is a question that requires further research.

Frobenius Brauer CategoriesSamchuck-Schnarch, Saima 16 August 2022 (has links)
Given a symmetric Frobenius superalgebra A equipped with a compatible involution, we define the associated Frobenius Brauer category B(A) and affine Frobenius Brauer category AB(A), generalizing the plain Brauer category B and affine Brauer category AB. We define the orthosymplectic Lie superalgebra osp m|2n(A) and a functor from B(A) to osp m|2n(A)-mod, the category of supermodules over osp m|2n(A). We also define a functor from AB(A) to the endofunctor supercategory of osp m|2n(A)-mod.We prove that these two functors are well-defined and use the former functor to prove a basis result for B(A, δ), a specialized version of B(A). Prior to defining these categories and functors, we provide the background information on super-mathematics and Frobenius superalgebras needed to understand the new results.

Control charts based on residuals for monitoring processes with correlated observationsLu, Chao-Wen 10 November 2005 (has links)
In statistical process control, it is usually assumed that observations on the process output at different times are lID. However, for many processes the observations are correlated and control charts for monitoring these processes have recently received much attention. For monitoring the process level, this study evaluates the properties of control charts, such as the EWMA chart and the CUSUM chart, based on the residuals from the forecast values of an ARMA model. It is assumed that the process mean is a ftrst order autoregressive (AR(l)) model and the observations are the mean plus a random error. Properties of these charts are evaluated using a Markov chain approach or an integral equation approach. The performance of control charts based on the residuals is compared to the performance of control charts based on the original observations. A combined chart using forecasts and residuals as the control statistics as well as a combined chart using the EWMA of observations and the EWMA of residuals as the control statistics are also studied by simulation. It is found that no universally "good" chart exists among all the charts investigated in this study.
In addition, for monitoring the process variance, two kinds of EWMA chart based on residuals are studied and compared. / Ph. D.

Clustering Response-Stressor Relationships in Ecological StudiesGao, Feng 31 July 2008 (has links)
This research is motivated by an issue frequently encountered in water quality monitoring and ecological assessment. One concern for researchers and watershed resource managers is how the biological community in a watershed is affected by human activities. The conventional single model approach based on regression and logistic regression usually fails to adequately model the relationship between biological responses and environmental stressors since the study samples are collected over a large spatial region and the response-stressor relationships are usually weak in this situation. In this dissertation, we propose two alternative modeling approaches to partition the whole region of study into disjoint subregions and model the response-stressor relationships within subregions simultaneously. In our examples, these modeling approaches found stronger relationships within subregions and should help the resource managers improve impairment assessment and decision making.
The first approach is an adjusted Bayesian classification and regression tree (ABCART). It is based on the Bayesian classification and regression tree approach (BCART) and is modified to accommodate spatial partitions in ecological studies. The second approach is a Voronoi diagram based partition approach. This approach uses the Voronoi diagram technique to randomly partition the whole region into subregions with predetermined minimum sample size. The optimal partition/cluster is selected by Monte Carlo simulation. We propose several model selection criteria for optimal partitioning and modeling according to the nature of the study and extend it to multivariate analysis to find the underlying structure of response-stressor relationships. We also propose a multivariate hotspot detection approach (MHDM) to find the region where the response-stressor relationship is the strongest according to an R-square-like criterion. Several sets of ecological data are studied in this dissertation to illustrate the implementation of the above partition modeling approaches. The findings from these studies are consistent with other studies. / Ph. D.
