Penn State High Tunnel Extension Program

ii THE PENN STATE

Assessing parental beliefs in early childhood is significant because of its ability toproperly understand parenting as an adaptational process along with child development.Sigel and McGillicuddy-De Lisi (2002) stated, “What parents believe about parenting isrelated to their own parenting and to virtually every aspect of children’s developmentalaccomplishments.” The purpose of th...

The Penn State Full-scale Schlieren System

A very large schlieren optical system (2.3x2.9m field-of-view) and its applications in thermal airflow visualization, high-speed imaging of shock waves, and full-scale equipment studies are described. In order to have such a large field-of-view this is a lens-and-grid-type schlieren system using a very large grid as a light source, as first described at the 7 ISFV. It is currently the largest i...

Coordination Annotation Extension in the Penn Tree Bank

Coordination is an important and common syntactic construction which is not handled well by state of the art parsers. Coordinations in the Penn Treebank are missing internal structure in many cases, do not include explicit marking of the conjuncts and contain various errors and inconsistencies. In this work, we initiated manual annotation process for solving these issues. We identify the differ...

Roles of Program Extension

A formal and effective approach to the extension of the computational behaviour of logic programs is presented. The approach builds upon the following concepts. The extension of computational behaviour is modelled by semantics-preserving program transformations. Several basic roles involved in such transformations are identified. Every transformation defined solely in terms of the basic roles w...
