Braunegg, David Jerome

To use a world model, a mobile robot must be able to determine its own position in the world. To support truly autonomous navigation, I present MARVEL, a system that builds and maintains its own models of world locations and uses these models to recognize its world position from stereo vision input. MARVEL is designed to be robust with respect to input errors and to respond to a gradually changing world by updating its world location models. I present results from real-world tests of the system ...

This thesis presents a descriptive and a functional analysis of the ecology of an island host-parasite system consisting of the Polynesian rat, Rattus exulans (Peale) and its gut helminths. The results, which include an historical perspective, are presented in the form of 7 papers or sections. Each of these examines a particular aspect of this host-parasite relationship. A review of the origin and an update of the theorised dispersal of this rat from Southeast Asia to New Zealand is given in the...

This study investigates the interplay of naturally occurring pro- and antioxidants during deep-fat frying. The study has significance to the food industry because knowledge of these interactions are important for maintaining the sensory and nutritional quality of fried food. Antioxidant protection was observed in an oil blend of sunflower, olive and butteroil when used for potato frying, reflecting the presence of butteroil. Fractionation of butteroil and incorporation of these fractions into he...

Wetlands were an important component of the northeastern landscape. This investigation of early postglacial land use and ecology is focused on Robbins Swamp, the largest freshwater wetland in Connecticut; of the more than 500 archaeological sites found in its vicinity, 37 contain Paleoindian and/or Early Archaic components. The study is based on two models of long-term land use, with changes in site distribution identified through two related variables: geographic focus and recurrence in site lo...

This thesis presents a simulation of a laser imaging system for automated vehicle guidance and space servicing tasks. Data generated by this system are used to command a robot navigating in an unconstrained natural terrain. A computer graphics simulation program which emulates laser range scanners was developed and used for generating the required range images in this research. This simulation eliminates the need for an expensive laser scanner for developing laser data processing algorithms. Bec...

A distributed method for mobile robot navigation, spatial learning, and path planning is presented. It is implemented on a sonar-based physical robot, Toto, consisting of three competence layers: 1) Low-level navigation: a collection of reflex-like rules resulting in emergent boundary-tracing. 2) Landmark detection: dynamically extracts landmarks from the robot's motion. 3) Map learning: constructs a distributed map of landmarks. The parallel implementation allows for localization in constan...

This thesis develops a quantitative cladistic approach to panbiogeography. Algorithms for constructing and comparing area cladograms are developed and implemented in a computer program. Examples of the use of this software are described. The principle results of this thesis are: (1) The description of algorithms for implementing Nelson and Platnick's (1981) methods for constructing area cladograms. These algorithms have been incorporated into a computer program. (2) Zandee and Roos' (198...

The eggs and larvae of the New Zealand snapper Pagrus auratus are pelagic with early buoyancy provided by dilute body fluids. The swimbladder begins to develop on the third day after hatch from a dorsal evagination of the gut tube. Communication w1h the gut is lost on about the tenth day following pneumatic inflation at around day eight. At this age the gas gland system appears fully functional and capable of secreting gas. By the age of settlement at around 30 days the swimbladder is a fully fu...

Lumbar disc disease, specifically herniated lumbar disc, is responsible for considerable activity limitation, disability and impairment. Biomechanical and experimental studies have shown various compression loads and torsional forces to be related to herniated disc; however, epidemiologic studies of risk factors for herniated disc are limited, focusing primarily on occupational activities. This research examines the role of non-occupational activities as potential risk factors for herniated disc...

This study assessed the political acceptability and efficacy of a theoretical policy for the restructuring of the delivery of vocational education in the North Shore area of Massachusetts. The theoretical policy, proposed by the author, was analyzed and assessed employing Wergin's (1976) Open Systems Model. The researcher found Wergin's (1976) Model to be particularly useful in assessing the political issues surrounding policy formation. Data for the study were collected from a survey of...
