A Knowledge Base and Question Answering System Based on Loglan and English
(2011-03-31)
One of the "holy grails" of computational linguistics has been to have a machine carry out a conversation, and to have some idea of what it is talking about. Loglan's machine grammar was a first attempt to carry out such ...
Knowledge Integration in Software Teams: An Analysis of Team, Project, and IT-Related Issues
(2006-12-15)
Contemporary organizations are increasingly depending on team-based structures to strategically consolidate their dispersed knowledge resources. Team members possess diverse knowledge resources, and these have to be combined ...
Knowledge is Power: PCIT Benefits Families Despite Early Termination
(2024-11-20)
Attrition in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an ongoing issue encountered by clinicians. However, evidence suggests that families who attend some PCIT sessions, but ultimately terminate before completion of the ...
Knowledge Management in Construction using Building Information Modeling (BIM)
(2014-08-01)
Knowledge is generated in all the phases of a construction project during its lifecycle. It is stored in multiple formats (pdf, dwg, ifc, etc.) and is present at multiple locations (pdfs, cds, RFIs, etc.) in a project ...
Knowledge, Perception, and Practice of TIC by Pediatric SLPs Employed in Medical Settings
(2024-04-23)
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the knowledge and practice of trauma informed care (TIC) within a sample population of SLPs who work in medical settings with pediatric patients. This survey also evaluated ...
Koreabama: Exploring the Recent Social and Landscape Impacts of South Korean Migration Trends and Patterns in the Rural South
(2014-04-25)
Korean immigration to the United States has been changing over the last few decades. Historically, Korean immigrants have been characterized by the stereotype of female Koreans seeking marriage to male American military ...
L2 Auditory Processing of Three Spanish Dialects. Comprehensibility and its Relationship with Accentedness and Familiarity.
(2022-04-26)
The purpose of this thesis is to explore the impact on comprehensibility judgments – the difficulty that listeners perceive they have in understanding an utterance – in the auditory processing of three dialects of Spanish ...
La nueva literatura piquetera: incursión en la semilla del cambio
(2014-05-29)
El capítulo I se centra en Jorge Luis Borges. Se profundiza en las ideas del autor como padre del boom con respecto a la espiralidad y la eternidad observadas tanto en su poesía como en su prosa con la finalidad de exponer ...
A lab study comparing several faking measures under a simulated selection context
(2015-07-24)
Industrial and organizational psychologists have long been aware that faking is a concern in the personnel selection practices. In high-stakes selection context, applicants can be highly motivated to fake good on personality ...
Laboratory and Field Characterization of Additive-Modified Asphalt Concrete Mixtures
(2023-11-27)
There is a need for a more rapid system of evaluation and implementation for new and existing
asphalt additives, especially due to the prohibitive cost of full-scale performance evaluations. To
help to meet this need, ...
Laboratory and Field Measurements of Moisture Content and Bulk Electrical Conductivity of Subgrade and Base Course Materials
(2023-08-04)
Moisture content can impact the resilient modulus of pavement base course and subgrade layers. Given its influence on the post-inundation resilient moduli of the coastal pavement and base course and subgrade layers, it is ...
Laboratory and Field Testing of Precast, Three Sided Arch Culverts
(2012-05-10)
The use of precast, three-sided arch culverts has become fairly popular for new short-span bridges and bridge replacements due to their rapid construction time, aesthetic appeal, and minimal impact to the waterway, but ...
Laboratory and Life Cycle Assessment of Bio-Based Rejuvenator for Cold Central Plant Recycled Asphalt Mixtures
