▼ In recent years, Virtual Reality (VR) technology has reached a point where it is powerful enough to be immersive, yet cheap enough to be commercially available. Both high-end headsets designed for desktop computers and low-cost peripherals for smartphones are seeing increased usage by consumers and developers alike. While there are differences in motion tracking capabilities between various VR devices, locomotion remains a common problem due to space constraints, VR sickness, limited input on low-cost devices, and the need for immersion in VR. Currently, a popular technique for locomotion in VR is teleportation. For headsets with positional tracking, teleportation allows users to navigate beyond the tracking space without a high risk of inducing VR sickness; for devices without positional tracking, teleportation can allow users to move in the virtual world even if the device has limited input options or low computational power. The most common teleportation methods rely on controller input, usually with motion controllers. This kind of input has downsides in that it can lead to arm fatigue, and it is not a viable method for devices without motion controllers or for people who cannot use motion controllers because of a disability or injury. We evaluated four hands-free methods for teleportation and compared their performance with teleportation using motion controllers. Two of the methods - teleporting using a voice command and teleporting by having the user's gaze dwell on the desired destination - had been used previously. The other two methods - teleporting via foot stomp and teleporting via blink - were novel. We performed a study in which users would teleport to waypoints in a VR environment, and the speed and accuracy of their teleportation was recorded and compared between the various methods. The study compared teleportation via controller with the blink, stomp, voice, and dwell methods. Data analysis of our results suggest that the blink and dwell methods have comparable results to controller teleportation and may serve as viable hands-free alternatives. Both methods had comparable accuracy, and blink in particular was well-received by users and did not have a large time increase.

▼ ABSTRACT USING HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES TO LEARN ABOUT LINEAR FUNCTIONS by Chris G. Dell Master of Science in Mathematics Education California State University, Chico Spring 2011 There is a need for lessons that combine rigor and relevance. During the first few years I taught at Enterprise High School, we created of a new course, ???Hands-on Algebra 1,??? for those students with low academic scores in mathematics. The goal of this class was to increase student confidence and develop a deeper understanding of the concepts at the students??? pace by presenting Algebra in a concrete manner. My project was to develop and evaluate five hands-on lessons about linear functions for this course. These lessons used an approach to allow students the opportunity to engage in mathematical reasoning and problem solving. Each of the lessons was embedded in the units about linear functions. The lessons are based on parts of six California Algebra 1 standards (6.0, 8.0, 9.0, 15.0, 17.0 and 18.0), which focus on linear functions and function notation. Each lesson contains a lesson plan outlining the goals, the objectives and the California Algebra 1 Mathematics content standard(s) being taught, notes to the teacher, a timeline, detailed directions, assessment instruments, a list of required manipulatives and appropriate rubrics. The project will be helpful to other teachers who are looking for curriculum resources that have standard-based concrete activities and examples. Prior to the start of the first of three units on linear functions, the teachers involved in the evaluation of the project administered a linear functions assessment. The same assessment was administered again at the end of the third of three units on linear functions. Another analysis involving a student survey and a teacher survey based on interval variables was administered at the end of each hands-on activity. The results of the assessment tools and the hands-on algebra lessons are included in the project. Advisors/Committee Members: Haws, LaDawn (advisor).

▼ Robotics is fast developing as a neoteric branch of engineering. As a vital topic in the field of robotics, robotic hands are widely studied by a variety of institutes and organizations because grasping and manipulation are the fundamental functionalities in application. Robotic hand is expected as flexible and versatile as human hand. However, due to the lack of information and the limitation of structures, plenty of conventional robot hands are far from intelligence. Therefore, assisted techniques are employed to improve the ability of information extraction, particularly the visual assistance. Hand-eye is a kind of visual assisted architecture which is used for detecting objects adapting to the end-effector. Even plenty of researches about the hand-eye robot were conducted, the circumscribed field of view still remains to be a problem. Meanwhile, as the integration level of camera device grows rapidly, a more compact arrangement of the hand-eye device is expected and may solve the field of vision problem. Then the corresponding characteristics and benefits are to be investigated. In this thesis, a multi-fingered robotic hand is developed with stereo cameras on palm which aims at precisely grasping objects and dexterously manipulating. The robotic hand design, stereo vision establishment and grasping theories are primarily concerned. Main issues are investigated and several methods are put forward to apply the stereo visual technology in robotic hand implementations. Firstly, the mechanism and transmission of hand are analyzed and designed to satisfy various requirements. Then, the corresponding closed-loop approach is proposed to control this robotic hand. On the other aspect, the stereo visual assistant is built on palm. To measure the absolute distance of objects, adequate methods of target localization are designed to match varied applying conditions. Moreover, the grasping theories are developed with an emphasis on the contacting stage, and the hand shrinking method is given in accordance with the designed system. Finally, for implementing the grasp with integrated platform, strategies and procedures are formulated, and the comparison is carried out as well. Both analysis and experiments are conducted, and the obtained results verify the methods proposed in this thesis. It shows that the precision of the distance measured by stereo vision system can be higher than 2mm, and the performance of robotic hand grasping meets the requirements in practice. Key words: multi-fingered robotic hand, stereo vision, versatility.

▼ Amputation of the hand implies the loss of the ability to grasp and the ability to "feel". The grasping function can be primitively restored using an active prosthesis. Multiarticulating electrically powered hands have recently made their way to the market and these hands provide enhanced grasping and gripping capabilities. However, these hands provide no direct and conscious sensory feedback to the user and there are ongoing research efforts in providing prosthetic hands with a sense of touch. There is no commercially available system for artificial limbs today that provides the user with conscious sensory feedback. This thesis presents the development and experimental studies of a new concept for providing users of prosthetic hands with a conscious sensory feedback. Previous studies have mostly relied on "sensory substitution" methods where sensory feedback is delivered in a different modality or to a different location on the body. By using modality matched sensory feedback, e.g. if pressure is sensed at a prosthetic finger then pressure is fed back to the amputee, the amputee would not have to learn to interpret the feedback signal (e.g. pressure coded as vibrations). Furthermore, many amputees experience a phantom "hand map" in their residual limb and when specific areas of this map is stimulated, the stimuli is perceived as coming from specific fingers in the amputated hand. By utilizing the phantom "hand map", amputees can be provided with modality matched sensory feedback, delivered to the "correct" body location and activating the correct location in the somatosensory cortex. In several studies, feedback actuators in the form of digital servomotors or airmediated pressure bulbs were used to provide both nonamputees and amputees with sensory feedback. It was shown that amputees can learn to interpret sensory feedback on different locations and that the developed sensory feedback system would not interfere negatively with a myoelectric control system. Furthermore, it was shown that the use of modality matched feedback in a multisite discrimination task yielded better results than modality mismatched sensory feedback. In conclusion, the studies indicate that this new concept for sensory feedback in hand prostheses can be useful in future artificial hands and enhance the sense of body ownership of the prosthesis.

▼ A vision system is an integral component of many autonomous robots. It enables the robot to perform essential tasks such as mapping, localization, or path planning. A vision system also assists with guiding the robot's grasping and manipulation tasks. As an increased demand is placed on service robots to operate in uncontrolled environments, advanced vision systems must be created that can function effectively in visually complex and cluttered settings. This thesis presents the development of segmentation algorithms to assist in online model acquisition for guiding robotic manipulation tasks. Specifically, the focus is placed on localizing door handles to assist in robotic door opening, and on acquiring partial object models to guide robotic grasping. . First, a method for localizing a door handle of unknown geometry based on a proposed 3D segmentation method is presented. Following segmentation, localization is performed by fitting a simple box model to the segmented handle. The proposed method functions without requiring assumptions about the appearance of the handle or the door, and without a geometric model of the handle. Next, an object segmentation algorithm is developed, which combines multiple appearance (intensity and texture) and geometric (depth and curvature) cues. The algorithm is able to segment objects without utilizing any a priori appearance or geometric information in visually complex and cluttered environments. The segmentation method is based on the Conditional Random Fields (CRF) framework, and the graph cuts energy minimization technique. A simple and efficient method for initializing the proposed algorithm which overcomes graph cuts' reliance on user interaction is also developed. Finally, an improved segmentation algorithm is developed which incorporates a distance metric learning (DML) step as a means of weighing various appearance and geometric segmentation cues, allowing the method to better adapt to the available data. The improved method also models the distribution of 3D points in space as a distribution of algebraic distances from an ellipsoid fitted to the object, improving the method's ability to predict which points are likely to belong to the object or the background. Experimental validation of all methods is performed. Each method is evaluated in a realistic setting, utilizing scenarios of various complexities. Experimental results have demonstrated the effectiveness of the handle localization method, and the object segmentation methods. Advisors/Committee Members: Ryerson University (Degree grantor).

▼ Hands-on learning is at the heart of science learning. This study examined increased changes of student content knowledge in biology, particularly biotechnology, after a hands-on biotechnology intervention was implemented into a secondary school. A traditional learning school was selected for a control. Both teachers had participated in a biotechnology professional development program called Project Crawfish. Students from both schools took the same assessment before and after their respective units (biotechnology intervention and genetics unit), and the classroom was the unit of analysis (n=5, n=6, respectively). The assessment was compared as a whole and then divided into five components, eight questions each: DNA extraction/gel electrophoresis, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), DNA sequencing, bioinformatics, and phylogenetics. The pre-tests were compared to establish a baseline between the two schools. The biotechnology intervention school began with a higher pre-test raw score than the traditional learning school. After adjusting for the pre-test scores, each school was analyzed for increases in student content knowledge and then compared to each other for any significant increases between the two schools. When the entire assessment was analyzed, each school had statistically significant increases in student content knowledge (<0.0001 for the biotechnology intervention school and 0.0481 for the traditional learning school). When the schools were compared to each other, a p-value of 0.0543 provided a suggestive relationship that the biotechnology intervention school had a larger increase in student content knowledge. When the assessment was divided into the five components, the traditional learning school had statistically significant increases in student content knowledge in the PCR and DNA sequencing components (0.0459, 0.0043, respectively). The biotechnology intervention school had statistically significant increases in student content knowledge in all five components. However, there were no significant differences in learning between the two schools. Implementing biotechnology through hands-on teaching methods should be considered by secondary science teachers. Further research would scale up this study to include more classrooms.

▼ Historians of the early space age have established a norm whereby President Eisenhower's actions are judged solely as a response to the launch of the Sputnik satellite, and are indicative of a passive, negative presidency. His low-key actions are seen merely as a prelude to the US triumph in space in the 1960s. This study presents an alternative view showing that Eisenhower’s space policy was not a reaction to the heavily-propagandised Soviet satellite launches, or even the effect they caused in the US political and military elites, but the continuation of a strategic track. In so doing, it also contributes to the reassessment of the wider Eisenhower presidency. Having assessed the development of three intersecting discourses: Eisenhower as president; the genesis of the US space programme; and developments in Cold War US reconnaissance, this thesis charts Eisenhower’s influence both on the ICBM and reconnaissance programmes and his support for a non-military approach to the International Geophysical Year. These actions provided the basis for his space policy for the remainder of his presidency. The following chapters show that Sputnik had no impact on the policies already in place and highlight Eisenhower’s pragmatic activism in enabling the implementation of these policies by a carefully-chosen group of expert ‘helping hands’. This study delivers a new interpretation of Eisenhower’s actions. It argues that he was operating on a parallel track that started with the Castle H-bomb tests; developed through the CIA's reconnaissance efforts and was distilled in the Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958. This set a policy for US involvement in outer space that matched Eisenhower’s desire for a balanced budget and fundamental belief in maintaining peace. By challenging the orthodox view, this paper shows that President Eisenhower’s space policy actions were strategic steps that provided a logical next step for both civilian and military space programmes at the completion of the International Geophysical Year.

▼ The ethics of economic sanctions is an issue that has been curiously neglected by philosophers and political theorists. Only a handful of philosophical journal articles and book chapters have ever been published on the subject; yet economic sanctions, as I will show, are significantly morally problematic and their use stands in need of moral justification. The aim of this thesis then is to consider how economic sanctions might be morally justified. Of the few writers who have considered this issue, the majority point to the analogies between economic sanctions and war and use the just war principles (just cause, proportionality etc.) as a framework within which to assess their moral permissibility. I argue that this is a mistake. The just war principles are derived from a set of complex and detailed arguments all planted firmly within the context of war. These arguments contain premises that, whilst they may hold true in the case of war, do not always hold true in the case of economic sanctions. Nevertheless, the rich just war tradition does offer a valuable starting point for theorising about economic sanctions and in the thesis I consider how the wider just war tradition might be brought to bear on the case of economic sanctions, beginning, not with the just war principles, but with the underlying arguments for those principles. In particular, I consider whether economic sanctions can be justified on the grounds that they are a form of self- or other-defence, that they are the ‘lesser evil’ and that they are a form of punishment. I argue that certain types of economic sanctions can be justified on the grounds that they are a form of self- or other- defence and that, in extreme circumstances, certain types of economic sanctions can be justified as the ‘lesser evil’. However, I argue that economic sanctions cannot be justified on the grounds of punishment. I also develop a ‘clean hands’ argument for economic sanctions that is unavailable to the just war theorist; I argue that where the goods and services to be supplied would contribute to human rights violations or other wrongful acts, there is a duty to impose economic sanctions to avoid complicity in this wrongdoing.

This thesis investigates the systems for hands-free mobile communication. In hands-free communication, there are various kinds of disturbances in the microphone reception due to the distance between the source and the receiver. The disturbances are mainly background noise and reverberation. To overcome these problems, this thesis uses two techniques: one is first-order adaptive differential microphone array, referred to as Elko’s beamformer and the other is spectral subtraction using a minimum statistics approach. The two techniques have different approaches in the way they process the signals. In the adaptive beamforming technique, the basic principle of noise suppression is purely based on phase information; based on the obtained phase information the beam is steered to the direction of desired signal and reducing the noise coming from other directions. Spectral subtraction, on the other hand, is a single channel speech enhancement technique typically using omnidirectional microphone, which does not use any phase information to process the signal. The spectral subtraction algorithm estimates the noise spectrum in speech pauses and subtracts it from the noisy speech spectrum to give an enhanced speech output. In this thesis, Elko’s beamformer is realized by combining two omnidirectional microphones to forms back-to-back cardioid. By using adaptive capabilities of the system, the first order microphone null is restricted to rear half plane and it can significantly improve the signal-to-noise ratio in hands-free communication. The other technique involved is spectral subtraction using a minimum statistic approach. This technique ignores the conventional way of approach, which estimates noise based on voice active detection (VAD). The minimum statistic approach is capable of dealing with non-stationary noise signals and requires low computational complexity. In this thesis the two techniques, beamforming and spectral subtraction are combined to give an even better system in terms of noise reduction. The systems individual performance and also combined performance is tested. Though the proposed algorithm shows lacking performance in the case of reverberant environment, but outperforms in case of anechoic environment with the average SNR-I of 19.5 dB and the average PESQ scores of 3.1.Thus, by taking these results into consideration, it can be concluded that the proposed method yield’s improved speech quality in an anechoic environment.
