Designing Networked Handheld Devices To Enhance School Learning
We begin by discussing a simple but important factor: networked handhelds can allow a 1:1 student: device ratio for the first time, enabling ready-at-hand access to technology throughout the school…

Proactive Behavior of a Personal Assistive Agent
Our model for proactive assistance employs a meta-level layer to identify potentially helpful actions and determine when it is appropriate to perform them. We conclude by identifying technical challenges in…

Can A Technology-Enhanced Curriculum Improve Student Learning Of Important Mathematics?
This project investigated the scale-up of an innovative integration of technology, curriculum, and teacher professional development aimed at improving mathematics instruction in grades 7 and 8.

Microstructure foundations of high carrier mobility in polymers
We combine complementary microstructure measurements including polarized absorption spectroscopies (infrared, visible, and X-ray), scanning probe techniques, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) to investigate the microstructure details of polymer semiconductors for organic…

Comparing theory and hypotheses to electric force microscope data: are we thinking about injection, trapping, and transport correctly in organic electronic materials?
In this talk we will show that ultrasensitive cantilevers can likewise measure the local charge diffusion constant via the effect of the associated electric field fluctuations on cantilever frequency and…

Deductive Biocomputing
We describe a deduction-based approach to biocomputation that semiautomatically combines knowledge, software, and data to satisfy goals expressed in a high-level biological language.

NAP and WCCN: Comparison of Approaches Using MLLR-SVM Speaker Verification System
We compare two recently proposed techniques, within class covariance normalization (WCCN) [1] and nuisance attribute projection (NAP) [2], for intersession variability compensation in speaker verification.

Statistical Sentence Extraction for Information Distillation
In this paper, we present a statistical sentence extraction approach for distillation. Basically, we frame this task as a classification problem, where each candidate sentence in documents is classified as…

Designing For Design Learning
This paper highlights the need for a science of design to address the needs of technology design learners.

On-The-Move Independently Moving Target Detection
This paper describes a system for automatically detecting potential targets (that pop-up or move into view) and to cue the operator to potential threats. We present a 3D approach for…

Analysis of Morph-Based Speech Recognition and the Modeling of Out-of-Vocabulary Words Across Languages
We analyze subword-based language models (LMs) in large-vocabulary continuous speech recognition across four “morphologically rich” languages: Finnish, Estonian, Turkish, and Egyptian Colloquial Arabic.

Reliability of Adult Retrospective Recall of Lifetime Tobacco Use
The present analyses examined the test–retest reliability of retrospective tobacco use measures, including details of first use, circumstances of first use, and initial subjective reactions.
