Discovering 'Tough Love' Interventions Despite Dropout

This paper reports an application to educational intervention of Principal Stratification, a statistical method for estimating the effect of a treatment even when there are different rates of dropout in experimental and control conditions. We consider the potential value for using principal stratification to identify “Tough Love Interventions” – interventions that have a large effect but also i...

New Directions at NASA Ames Research Center

H uman beings are quintessentially explorers and builders. From the earliest times, we have wanted to know what is out there and have built machines to take us there, or to be our guides and ambassadors.

Tough times call for tough decisions.

Progress Report - Year # 2 Automated Extraction of Flow Features NASA

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are routinely performed as part of the design process of most fluid handling devices. In order to efficiently and effectively use the results of a CFD simulation, visualization tools are often used. These tools are used in all stages of the CFD simulation including pre-processing, interim-processing, and post-processing, to interpret the results. E...
