(2019-07-16)
The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to explore a dual-training apprenticeship program in the United States (U.S.) insurance industry through the shared lived experience of adult participants. The ...
Simultaneous Localization Auto-Calibration and Mapping of Ground Vehicles
(2016-06-17)
This dissertation advances the state of the art of sensor auto-calibration by presenting a generic solution and analysis to the 3D sensor auto-calibration problem, as well as to the 2D simultaneous localization and ...
Aerodynamic Analysis of a Morphing Wing Using Vorticity Based Solver
(2019-07-16)
This study addresses an efficient approach to analyzing Variable Camber continuous trailing edge flaps (VCCTEF) wings, which mimics the concept of morphing or shape changing wings. The validation model used in this research ...
Application of Learning Through Play in designing school playgrounds (Preschools to Kindergartens) to aid in children’s development
(2019-07-24)
Children are able to promote their academic learning performance through playing, which
is more effective than traditional learning methods. Hence, suitable designing for school
playgrounds aimed at providing an effective ...
Framework for user sentiment analysis to improve the usability of applications for generation z and young adults
(2019-07-17)
Three studies were conducted to explore machine learning support of novel learning problems. The first was a study of a computer-supported online learning website, which was designed to support teachers improving their ...
Differential Effects of Niacin on Adipose Tissue Inflammation, Hepatic Function, and Gut Microbiota Composition in C57BL/6J and B6129SF2/J Mice
(2019-07-18)
Background. Obesity is associated with adipose tissue inflammation, development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and altered gut microbiota composition. Niacin is beneficial in inhibiting obesity-associated ...
Charting the Volunteering Characteristics of College Students in a Land-Grant University
(2019-12-14)
