The Double-Mode Cepheid V371 Persei Redux, Edward G. Schmidt
The Double-Mode Cepheid V371 Persei Redux, Edward G. Schmidt
Edward Schmidt Publications
A metallicity of [Fe/H] = –0.05 to –0.40 was derived from four spectra of the peculiar beat Cepheid V371 Per. This conflicts with previous estimates ranging from –0.7 to –1.0 based on the period ratio. It is suggested that the discrepancy may be resolved by assuming near solar metallicity but a low mass. This is in accord with a suggestion by Sandage and Tammann that the AHB3 (or BL Her) stars are Population I analogs of short-period type II Cepheids. Further pulsational modeling is needed to clarify the status of this star and to understand the AHB3 stars.

An Automated Grader For Short Answer Responses, Sami Saqer
An Automated Grader For Short Answer Responses, Sami Saqer
Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science Honors Projects
Computers routinely grade multiple-choice questions by simply matching them to an answer key. Can they effectively score essay exams? This report examines an automated technique for grading short answer responses, using a grading system I have constructed. This system assigns a grade to an student answer based on its similarity to a model answer provided by an instructor. Similarity is measured using 1) the semantic similarity between isolated words, and 2) the similarity between the order of those words. The performance of the system was evaluated by scoring actual exam questions and comparing the computer-assigned grades to those given by …
Measuring Balkanization In Wikipedia, Colin Welch
Measuring Balkanization In Wikipedia, Colin Welch
Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science Honors Projects
Modern society has become increasingly balkanized, or ideologically polarized and socially fragmented. Political parties interact with each other over divisive issues by using polarizing rhetoric. Internet users create small, opinionated communities like dKosapedia and Conservapedia, Wikipedia-like websites written from positions of left-leaning and right-leaning bias. Even Wikipedia may not be immune to balkanization. As a free encyclopedia written by users from an unbiased point of view, it is in the interest of the general public to keep Wikipedia as free of balkanization and polarization as possible. If Wikipedia authors are free to express their conflicting points of view, the quality …

Cs 740: Algorithms, Complexity And The Theory Of Computability, Pascal Hitzler
Computer Science & Engineering Syllabi
What does it mean to say that some computational problem is intrinsically more difficult than some other problem? How can I claim that I have found a good algorithmic solution? The study of these questions gives rise to an area of Theoretical Computer Science called Complexity Theory, which is based on a systematic and thorough formal study of the complexity of problems with respect to their algorithmic solvability, using Turing machines as main conceptual tool. In this class, we will understand how problem and algorithmic complexity is measured, and discuss some of the main complexity classes arising from this study. …

Web 2.0 has changed the way we share and keep up with information. We communicate through social media platforms and make the information we exchange to a large extent publicly available. Linked Open Data (LOD) follows the same paradigm of sharing information but also makes it machine accessible. LOD provides an abundance of structured information albeit in a less formally rigorous form than would be desirable for Semantic Web applications. Nevertheless, most of the LOD assertions are community reviewed and we can rely on their accuracy to a large extent. In this work we want to follow the Web 2.0 …

Regional Scarcity, Andrew Funk
Regional Scarcity, Andrew Funk
Water Resources Professional Project Reports
The foreseeable vulnerability of regional water supplies in the Lower 48 to shortages from over stressed basins is made worse by anticipated water resource impacts from climate change. Essentially, regional water scarcity will differ depending on state and local supply and demand portfolios and variability of climate. Since U.S. water supply vulnerabilities are regionally uneven, the strategic water use efficiency response needs to be regional as well. Regionally mandatory water use efficiency should replace the outdated paradigm of voluntary measures currently employed piecemeal and unevenly within state borders, which ignore regional watershed hydrology. Mandating the efficient use of regional water …

Charge Diffusion In The Field-Free Region Of Charge-Coupled Devices, Ralf Widenhorn, Alexander Weber-Bargioni, Morley M. Blouke, Albert J. Bae, Erik Bodegom
Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations
The potential well in back-illuminated charge-coupled devices (CCDs) does not reach all the way to the back surface. Hence, light that is absorbed in the field-free region generates electrons that can diffuse into neighboring pixels and thus decreases the spatial resolution of the sensor. We present data for the charge diffusion from a near point source by measuring the response of a back-illuminated CCD to light emitted from a submicron diameter glass fiber tip. The diffusion of electrons into neighboring pixels is analyzed for different wavelengths of light ranging from 430 to 780 nm. To find out how the charge …

The Green Revolution Of The 1960'S And Its Impact On Small Farmers In India, Kathryn Sebby
The Green Revolution Of The 1960'S And Its Impact On Small Farmers In India, Kathryn Sebby
Department of Environmental Studies: Undergraduate Student Theses
The Green Revolution was initiated in the 1960’s to address the issue of malnutrition in the developing world. The technology of the Green Revolution involved bio-engineered seeds that worked in conjunction with chemical fertilizers and heavy irrigation to increase crop yields. The technology was readily adopted in many stated in India and for some was a great success. However, there were many farmers who could not afford the inputs necessary to participate in the Green Revolution and gaps between social classes widened as wealthy farmers got wealthier and poor farmers lagged behind. This paper discusses how small farmers were affected …
