School efficiency rankings in Minnesota
(University of Wisconsin--Whitewater, 2017-08)This paper examines the difference between school level performance rankings for Minnesota public schools for the 2013-2014 school year based on Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment passage rate and econometrically estimated ... -
A simple, space-efficient algorithm for detecting start and stop codons in DNA
(University of Wisconsin - Whitewater, 2021-04)The brute force algorithm for string matching has a worst-case execution complexity of O(MN), where N is the length of the entire string and M is the length of the substring to be matched. The efficiency of brute-force ... -
Small/medium market models of newspaper and broadcasting convergence in the midwest
(2006-11-10)There is a large body of research on a recent movement in the news media referred to as convergence. This practice of sharing resources between media organizations takes many forms and is found in major markets. Research ... -
Solving non-decomposable objectives using linear programming layers in general machine learning models : SVMs and deep neural networks
(University of Wisconsin - Whitewater, 2021-05)Many domain specific machine learning tasks require more fine tuning with respect to nondecomposable metrics to be effective. In many applications such as medical diagnosis and fraud detection, traditional loss measures ... -
Study of the difference in coverage of the Israeli operation in Gaza (December, 2008 to January, 2009) in the New York Times and BBC
(2010)Coverage of the Middle East by western media is often an issue of argument. The most controversial is how this media cover the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. While media defend itself by claiming the balanced, objective ... -
Sub-linear algorithms for shortest unique substring and maximal unique matches
(University of Wisconsin--Whitewater, 2019-12)Living in an era where we produce quintillions of data on a daily basis means that there are many intriguing (possibly unrevealed) facts behind them. Some of the data that exists in large quantities is encountered in ... -
Superresolution recurrent convolutional neural networks for learning with multi-resolution whole slide images
(University of Wisconsin--Whitewater, 2018-11)A recurrent convolutional neural network is supervised machine learning way to process images that has both properties of convolutional and recurrent networks. We propose Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based approach ... -
Survivor and other reality T.V. gameshows: the uses and gratifications perspective on a reality sub-genre
(2006-05-03)Ever since the 1930s when different forms of media such as film, radio, and print became a main source/influence of how people obtained information and were entertained, media theorists have questioned the effects of the ... -
Technology integration through staff development
(2008-08-07)How does staff development in education insure that all learners meet the intended learning outcomes? At the time of this study most staff development for teachers was designed to get as many learners as possible familiar ... -
Toward a practical model of postmodern public relations
(2008-07-31)Although there has emerged in the past 10 to15 years a significant body of scholarly literature on the application of postmodern perspectives to the field of public relations, very little has been offered in the way of ... -
Trust formation in global, virtual partnerships : Russia and the United States examined
(2004-12-14)This study looks at trust formation within intercultural, virtual partnerships and how, or if, trust formation is different when all communication takes place via the Internet. Two cross-cultural communication classes were ... -
Uncertainty reduction and game communication : how does uncertainty reduction theory come into play?
(University of Wisconsin--Whitewater, 2015-12)The goal of this study was to test whether uncertainty reduction theory could be applied to a game environment by examining how players used the information seeking strategies of the theory: passive, active, interactive, ... -
Using signature method and deep learning based long short term memory model on time series physiological data to predict sepsis
(University of Wisconsin - Whitewater, 2023-12)Sepsis is a serious medical condition where the body’s immune system reacts to an infection potentially causing organ failure and death. Globally , sepsis affects over 30 million people annually , resulting in around 6 ... -
Using the transtheoretical model to predict intercultural willingness to communicate
(2009-07-21)Using the Transtheoretical Model to Predict Intercultural Willingness to Communicate The past several decades have led to an increased awareness by Americans of the necessity of interacting with the rest of the world. ... -
Web-based amateur critical reviews in comparison to traditional television counterparts
(University of Wisconsin--Whitewater, 2015-12)Since 1907 film criticism has been a part of the mass media. In the 1970s film criticism made a leap from the pages of the local newspaper to television programming in the form of Sneak Previews hosted by Gene Siskel and ... -
Wisconsin Brownfield Cleanup and Remediation Program: an assessment of economic and fiscal impacts
(2016)This paper uses Hedonic Analysis to identify the unobserved economic and fiscal impacts that Wisconsin’s various state funded brownfield remediation programs have on the surrounding communities. Literature suggests that ...
