Modeling Salient Object-Object Interactions to Generate Textual Descriptions for Natural Images
(East Carolina University, 2012)In this thesis we consider the problem of automatically generating textual descriptions of images which is useful in many applications. For example, searching and retrieving visual data in overwhelming number of images and ... -
Modeling Site Suitability of Living Shorelines in the Albemarle-Pamlico Estuarine System
(East Carolina University, 2013)Shoreline erosion and associated land loss are major concerns for coastal land owners and resource managers. Traditional methods of shoreline stabilization using permanent, hard structures can have adverse environmental ... -
Modeling survival in colon cancer: a methodological review
(East Carolina University, 2007-02-12)The Cox proportional hazards model is the most widely used model for survival analysis because of its simplicity. The fundamental assumption in this model is the proportionality of the hazard function. When this condition ... -
Modeling Tsunami Waves Using Q-Advanced Waves in 2-D
(East Carolina University, 2015-12-15)A two-dimensional numerical approximation for modeling tsunamis is developed. New q-advanced functions are used to model the forcing due to an earthquake. These results are used to model the Japanese tsunami of 2011, and ... -
MODELING WETLAND RESPONSE TO FUTURE SEA-LEVEL RISE IN THE PAMLICO AND CROATAN SOUNDS, NORTH CAROLINA
(East Carolina University, 2012)Coastal habitats are among the world's most vulnerable environments to climate change and are highly sensitive to the impacts of future SLR. During the course of this century sea-level rise (SLR) enhanced by global climate ... -
MODELLING [sic] AND SIMULATION OF JAMMING ATTACKS IN WLAN
(East Carolina University, 2012)Wireless local area networks (WLAN) are one of the most widely used technologies in our daily lives. Instead of being limited to the range of wired equipment, users can communicate freely. However, since wireless networks ... -
The Moderating Effect of Employee Political Skill on the Link between Perceptions of a Victimizing Work Environment and Job Performance
(2017-05-30)Research has generally revealed only a weak link, if any at all, between victimization- related experiences and job performance. Drawing on the commonly used conservation of resources perspective, we argue that such ... -
The Moderating Effects of Academic and Social Success on Delinquency
(East Carolina University, 2015)This study used longitudinal data taken from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kindergarten to examine the moderating effects of academic and social success on the relationship between risk factors and the outcome ... -
The moderating effects of religiosity on the relationship between stressful life events and delinquent behavior
(East Carolina University, 2008)Previous research has shown that many forms of strain are positively related to delinquency. Evidence also suggests that religiosity buffers the effects of strain on offending, but this issue requires further research. ... -
