This multi-part study examined the relationship between selected variables and recidivism in a large, detained sample (n = 776) of juvenile offenders—most of whom were juvenile sex offenders (JSOs) released after completion ...
Predicting Saltwater Intrusion Effects on Tidal Freshwater Wetlands of the Lower Apalachicola River
(2017-05-04)
Tidal freshwater forested wetlands are found between terrestrial and aquatic zones and are common near the outlets of the coastal rivers (Mitsch and Gosselink 2007). These wetlands are valuable resources due to the ecological ...
Predicting Signal Probabilities Using Neural Networks to Improve Test Point Insertion
(2019-12-18)
This thesis presents an artificial neural network signal probability predictor for VLSI circuits that
considers reconvergent fan-outs. Testability analysis techniques are useful in the insertion of
testpoints to improve ...
PREDICTING THE BREAKING DORMANCY AND THE TRANSITION OF FLORAL BUD PROGRESSION FOR THREE PEACH CULTIVARS (Prunus persica (L.))
(2023-11-09)
Phenological changes have been observed in peaches during the last decades caused by the seasonal variability in climate conditions mainly experienced during dormancy, consequently affecting crop management practices, ...
Predicting the Food Safety and Shelf-Life Implications of Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) Temperature Abuse (TA) on Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Fillets
(2022-07-20)
Maintaining food safety and preventing spoilage are paramount during food distribution. However, in the last segment of the cold chain (Last Mile), less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping practices can lead to cyclic temperature ...
Predicting Time-Dependent Deformations in Prestressed Concrete Girders
(2014-11-05)
A prestressed concrete girder camber prediction program, which utilizes a time-step approach, was improved to a new version including modifications, new features, and the fib Model Code 2010 material prediction model. The ...
Predicting Vocational Interests through an AI-based Chatbot
(2023-07-27)
Emerging research has provided compelling evidence that vocational interests serve as robust predictors of various life and work-related outcomes. However, vocational interests assessment did not see much innovation since ...
Prediction of Adolescent Suicidality: Relative Contribution of Diagnosis, Psychopathy, and Impulsivity
(2006-12-15)
Suicide is a leading cause of death among American youth, and specific subgroups among the general population have been identified as being at particularly high risk for suicidality. The present study sought to assess ...
Prediction of Creep and Shrinkage in the I-59/I-20 Segmental Bridge in Birmingham, Alabama
(2023-11-27)
The objective of this research is to accurately predict concrete creep and shrinkage in the I-59/I-20 segmental bridge in Birmingham, Alabama. Concrete samples were collected on four sampling dates throughout the bridge’s ...
Prediction of Distribution for Total Height and Crown Ratio Using Normal Versus Other Distributions
(2006-12-15)
Relative to the other southern pine species, many aspects of longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) growth are poorly understood due to the lack of detailed studies and modeling efforts. With changes occurring in the ecosystem ...
Prediction of Heating and Ignition Properties of Biomass Dusts Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy
(2014-07-11)
Dusts (i.e. particles of size less than 500 μm) are generated during handling and processing of biomass feedstock. Similar to damages that have been reported from ignition of dusts obtained from industries, ignited biomass ...
Prediction of light scattering by plane parallel media
(2019-07-03)
The primary motivation of this research is to recognize and establish features of particle deposit reflectivity and absorptivity which have potential for remote detection and characterization of the deposit. In order to ...
