Intelligens handlar om förmågan att förstå, lösa problem, planera, tänka abstrakt, bearbeta information, tillgodogöra sig ny kunskap, samt förmågan att anpassa sig till sin miljö. Tidigare studier visar att kvällsmänniskor har högre IQ än morgonmänniskor. En orsak är att intelligenta personer är mer progressiva. Studier visar också att det inte finns könsskillnader i IQ. I denna studie undersöks om det finns ett samband mellan intelligens och dygnsrytm, samt mellan intelligens och faktiska sovtider. Ett annat syfte med denna undersökning var att undersöka om det finns skillnader i intelligens mellan män och kvinnor. Experimentet bistod av 250 deltagare, varav 151 kvinnor och 99 män i åldrarna 15-60. Ravens Standard Progressive Matrices användes för att mäta deltagarnas IQ. Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) användes för att ta reda på deltagarnas dygnsrytm, och deltagarnas faktiska sovtider skrevs i timme och minut. Resultaten visade att kvällsmänniskor har i genomsnitt högre IQ än morgonmänniskor. Ett samband mellan deltagarnas faktiska sovtider och IQ fanns inte. Vidare visade resultaten att det inte finns någon skillnad i IQ mellan män och kvinnor.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the work reported in this thesis was to investigate intelligence and reading ability at school age in a population based sample of children who failed to thrive in the first two years of life. Weights for an annual cohort of term infants, retrieved from clinic records, were compared with weight expected conditional upon early weight. Those with weights in the lowest 5% in two or more age bands (3, 6, 9, 12 and 18 months) were identified as cases (n =136). Cases were stratified by age, sex and deprivation level of their area of residence at eighteen months of age, and the same number of controls selected from each stratum. Two controls were later omitted as they were found to have been born preterm (< 37 weeks). Between ages 7 and 9 years 79% of cases and 82% of controls were traced and studied. Height, head circumference and weight were measured, and an IQ and reading test administered. Information about socio-economic status, family structure and medical history was gathered during a home visit. The mother's height was measured, the father's being reported by the mothers, and the mother's IQ tested. All testing was carried out blind to the child’s case or control status. The child's medical records were retrieved where admission to a hospital or outpatient clinic was reported and the conditions diagnosed were coded blind for their probable effects on cognitive outcomes or growth. At eight years of age mothers in the case group reported more feeding problems in infancy and more organic conditions. Cases were shorter, lighter, thinner and had a smaller head circumference than controls. These anthropometric differences were all statistically significant and remained so after allowing for parental stature. There were no statistically significant differences in IQ and reading ability either before or after adjusting for maternal IQ, organic condition or the few covariates found to differ between the groups.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Large close range environmental reflections or poor isolation between the transmit and receive paths of an FMCW radar can overload the receiver. The In phase and Quadrature phase (IQ) Reflected Power Canceller (RPC) provides a solution to the problem by cancelling any close range reflections. In this study a procedure to optimise the design of an RPC is developed and the performance limits of a practical RPC is investigated in depth. There are four focus areas in the evaluation and design of the IQ Reflected Power Canceller. First, an analysis was performed on a theoretical IQ Reflected Power Canceller, which provided insight into how the system functioned and made it possible to identify practical application issues that would arise during the design. The next focus area was the IQ Reflected Power Canceller’s dynamic range. Equations, based on the power and noise characteristics of each component in the canceller, were derived. From these equations, a system, with an optimised dynamic range, could be developed. Next, the IQ Reflected Power Canceller’s feedback loop stability was investigated. The canceller is an active negative feedback control system but, in order to obtain the negative feedback, the feedback signal has to be phase shifted by 180 degrees to the phase of the input signal. An analysis of the canceller’s RF phase contribution resulted in an equation that can be used to manage the nett RF phase in the feedback loop. The evaluation model of the IQ Reflected Power Canceller produced favourable results. The tests performed on the system included measuring the level of cancellation that can be achieved, whether the dynamic range corresponds to the predicted values and the amount of RF phase error that can be introduced in the feedback path while maintaining a stable system. The IQ Reflected Power Canceller was found to perform well in the evaluation. It provided a cancellation of more than 45 dB for close range reflections and the canceller remained stable across a wide range of RF centre frequencies (1 GHz). This means that the FMCW radar’s frequency modulation bandwidth will not be limited because of the IQ Reflected Power Canceller. The evaluation clearly showed that the modulator in the feedback loop is the critical element that determines the dynamic range of the radar with an RPC.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Onvoldoende isolasie tussen die sender en ontvanger van ’n Frekwensie Gemoduleerde Kontinu Golf radar, sowel as groot weerkaatsings vanaf voorwerpe in die omgewing van die radar, veroorsaak dat die ontvanger versadig. Hierdie beperking veroorsaak dat die radar ’n verminderde dinamiese bereik het, en daarmee ook dat die radar se maksimum teiken-afstand verminder word. Die IQ Gereflekteerde Drywingskanselleerder kan as ’n oplossing gebruik word teen hierdie ongewenste refleksies. Hierdie navorsing poog om ’n kanselleerder te evalueer met die eind doel gestel daarop om ’n praktiese stelsel aanmekaar te sit. Die kanselleerder word geëvalueer deur na vier fokus areas te kyk. Eerstens word ’n ideale model opgestel, wat ’n beter begrip van die kanselleerder bewerkstellig. Uit hierdie ideale model, is daar praktiese oorwegings wat die kanselleerder affekteer, geïdentifiseer. Ten einde die dinamiese bereik van die radar ontvanger te verbeter, word ’n metode afgelei wat gebruik word om die kanselleerder se dinamiese bereik te optimeer. Hierdie metode neem die maksimum drywingsbeperkinge van die komponente in die kanselleerder in ag. Die kanselleerder is ’n aktiewe terugvoer beheerstelsel, en aangesien ’n sommeerder in die terugvoer lus gebruik word, moet die fase deur die lus met 180 grade geskuif word om sodoende ’n kansellerende sein by die ontvangde sein te tel. Die RF fase foute in die kanselleerder word geanaliseer deur ’n nie-ideale model van die kanselleerder op te stel. Hierdie nie-ideale model maak dit moontlik om die effek van ’n RF fase fout op die kanselleerder se stabiliteit te ondersoek. ’n Praktiese kanselleerder is ontwerp uit die inligting wat versamel is gedurende die evaluasie, en ’n werkende stelsel is aanmekaar gesit. Met hierdie praktiese kanselleerder is die hoeveelheid drywing-onderdrukking wat bereik kan word, gemeet. Die dinamiese bereik van die kanselleerder is ook bepaal en vergelyk met die teoreties berekende waardes. Die aannames oor die effek van die RF fase fout in die kanselleerder, is bevestig deur metings te neem. Goeie resultate is met die kanselleerder behaal. ’n Kansellasie van meer as 45 dB is gemeet vir naby-geleë refleksies. Die kanselleerder het ook stabiel gebly oor ’n wye band van senter-frekwensies (1 GHz). Dus sal die Frekwensie Gemoduleerde Kontinu Golf radar se modulasie bandwydte nie beperk word as gevolg van die kanselleerder nie. Uit die evaluasie is daar gevind dat die modulator die kritieke element in the kanselleerder se terugvoer lus is, dus bepaal die modulator die dinamiese bereik van die radar met ’n kanselleerder.

Full textAbstract:
IQ-tester har blitt brukt i en årrekke til å teste hvor intelligente mennesker er. Selv om det lenge har vært et mål å gjøre datamaskiner intelligente finnes det ingen lignende test for å sammenligne hvor langt utviklingen har kommet innen kunstig intelligens. Vi ønsker derfor å bruke IQ-tester laget for mennesker til å finne ut hvor godt en datamaskin løser slike oppgaver. Hvor bra en datamaskin gjør det på en IQ-test er dermed et mål for hvor kunstig intelligent denne er. Ved å kjøre en lignende test igjen om noen år vil man kunne se hvordan utviklingen har vært innenfor de områdene som testen dekker. IQ-tester inneholder svært varierte oppgaver innen områder som logikk, hukommelse og språkferdigheter, og ulike oppgavetyper krever ulike teknikker for å løses. Blant annet viser denne rapporten hvordan genetisk programmering kan brukes til å løse ulike oppgaver innenfor logikk. Denne teknikken er brukt til å løse to oppgavetyper, en der man skal finne det neste tallet i en tallrekke og en der man skal finne den neste figuren i en figurrekke. Kjøringene av implementasjonene viser strålende resultater, og bekrefter dermed at genetisk programmering er velegnet til å løse en del oppgaver som krever gode logiske evner. For en rekke andre oppgaver inneholder rapporten en detaljert beskrivelse av hvordan disse kan løses. Blant annet er kunnskaper om naturlig språk og oppslag i ordbøker viktige elementer.

Full textAbstract:
[Formulae and special characters can only be approximated here. Please see the pdf version of the abstract for an accurate reproduction.] In In-phase/Quadrature (IQ) modulator generating Continuous-Phase-Frequency-Shift-Keying (CPFSK) signals, shortcomings in the implementation of the analogue reconstruction filters result in the loss of the constant envelope property of the output signal. Ripples in the envelope function cause undesirable spreading of the transmitted signal spectrum into adjacent channels when the signal passes through non-linear elements in the transmission path. This results in the failure of the transmitted signal in meeting transmission standards requirements. Therefore, digital techniques compensating for these shortcomings play an important role in enhancing the performance of the IQ modulator. In this thesis, several techniques to compensate for the irregularities in the I and Q channels are presented. The main emphasis is on preserving a constant magnitude and linear phase characteristics in the pass-band of the analogue filters as well as compensating for the imbalances between the I and Q channels. A generic digital pre-compensation model is used, and based on this model, the digital compensation schemes are formulated using control and signal processing techniques. Four digital compensation techniques are proposed and analysed. The first method is based on H2 norm minimization while the second method solves for the pre-compensation filters by posing the problem as one of H∞ optimisation. The third method stems from the well-known principle of Wiener filtering. Note that the digital compensation filters found using these methods are computed off-line. We then proceed by designing adaptive compensation filters that runs on-line and uses the “live” modulator input data to make the necessary measurements and compensations. These adaptive filters are computed based on the well-known Least-Mean-Square (LMS) algorithm. The advantage of using this approach is that the modulator does not require to be taken off-line in the process of calculating the pre-compensation filters and thus will not disrupt the normal operation of the modulator. The compensation performance of all methods is studied analytically using computer simulations and practical experiments. The results indicate that the proposed methods are effective and are able to provide substantial compensation for the shortcomings of the analogue reconstruction filters in the I and Q channels. In addition, the adaptive compensation scheme, implemented on a DSP platform shows that there is significant reduction in side-lobe levels for the compensated signal spectrum.

Analyzing operating systems is a hard problem. Instrumentation can be used to insert analysis code into executions of an operating system. IQ is a dynamic instrumentation framework for instrumenting the whole system. It records executions of an operating system running in a virtual machine and decouples analysis from executions of the operating system. IQ tools can do heavyweight analysis during replays of executions and refine the analysis through continuous replay of the same execution. IQ is a fine granularity framework that provides an API appropriate to instrument operating systems. To our best knowledge, IQ is the first post-analysis framework for instrumenting the whole system.

Full textAbstract:
IQ has been shown to predict life outcomes such as income and education, but to benefit men more than women. Parenthood is in turn known to be partly predicted by variables correlated with IQ, with more educated and well-paid subjects being more probable to become parents. Previous research has found evidence for a “fatherhood premium” for men and a “motherhood penalty” for women, with fathers tending to earn more than comparable non-fathers and mothers in turn earning less than childless women. This study used data from a longitudinal Swedish study to investigate the relationship between IQ, parenthood and income. Results showed that both men and women in the low IQ group had a lower probability of parenthood, men significantly so. A fatherhood premium was found, but it disappeared when controlling for working hours. A more consistent and significant motherhood penalty disfavoring women with children was found in the high IQ group, but this difference could not explain much of the much larger income difference between the genders. Whereas the average hourly wages of all groups of men were higher than those of all groups of women, all groups of women had a higher mean probability of parenthood than all groups of men. Previous research has indicated that some groups seem to “have it all” in the sense of being uniformly well-adjusted, but in this sample it appears to be more of a trade-off with no group being consistently at an advantage on all indices of adjustment.

Full textAbstract:
Neuropsychological assessment in linguistically heterogeneous populations is fraught with numerous challenges, such as lacking or inappropriate normative data or the unavailability of appropriate tests. Accommodating multilingual individuals exacerbates the issue by adding the question of which language(s) to use when assessing multilingual individuals. Different testrelated concepts may be accessible to them via different languages, as their lexicon is spread out over two or more languages. Hence, any monolingual instrument is likely to disadvantage them. The present set of three studies circumvents this question and presents evidence for an inherently multilingual English/Afrikaans/isiXhosa screening tool for intelligence, the Multilingual Vocabulary Test (MVT). I describe the instrument’s development from the pilot study to a psychometric analysis of the final, digitally administered version. For an abbreviated 13-item version, Study 3 (N = 494) shows an internal consistency of = .59 and Study 2 (N = 101) produced significant criterion-related validity values of r = .46 and r = .52 with the KBIT-2 and Shipley-2 VIQ scores respectively. Linear regression analyses show that, while all criterion measures are biased toward E1-speakers, the MVT is largely immune to test-takers’ linguistic background. Thus, the MVT paves the way toward more fairness in cognitive assessments, in general, and provides a promising first step toward addressing one of South African neuropsychologists’ greatest needs—that of a quick and easy-to-administer, yet linguistically fair screening tool for cognitive impairment.

Full textAbstract:
Direct-Down Conversion (DDC) principle based transceiver architectures are of interest to meet the diverse needs of present and future wireless systems. DDC transceivers have a simple structure with fewer analog components and offer low-cost, flexible and multi-standard solutions. However, DDC transceivers have certain circuit impairments affecting their performance in wide-band, high data rate and multi-user systems.
IQ imbalance is one of the problems of DDC transceivers that limits their image rejection capabilities. Compensation techniques for frequency independent IQI arising due to gain and phase mismatches of the mixers in the I/Q paths of the transceiver have been widely discussed in the literature. However for wideband multi-channel transceivers, it is becoming increasingly important to address frequency dependent IQI arising due to mismatches in the analog I/Q lowpass filters.
A hardware-efficient and standard independent digital estimation and compensation technique for frequency dependent IQI is introduced which is also capable of tracking time-varying IQI changes. The technique is blind and adaptive in nature, based on the second order statistical properties of complex random signals such as properness/circularity.
A detailed performance analysis of the introduced technique is executed through computer simulations for various real-time operating scenarios. A novel technique for finding the optimal number of taps required for the adaptive IQI compensation filter is proposed and the performance of this technique is validated. In addition, a metric for the measure of properness is developed and used for error power and step size analysis.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
A great deal is known and has been written about the difficulties that high IQ children can experience in the classroom when their special educational needs are not met. Evidence suggests that these difficulties can result in poor academic performance. This study is different from the research carried out in this field so far in that it expresses an hitherto unheard adult voice. It does so by examining the causes and the long-term effects of academic underachievement, as perceived by high IQ adults, on reflection. A mixed quantitative/qualitative methodological approach was used. 158 members of British Mensa, the High IQ Society, completed one semi-structured open ended questionnaire about their perceptions of the causes and long-term effects of their academic underachievement. A second questionnaire was completed by 50 of the previous sample who had revealed that they had reversed their underachievement in adulthood. This highlighted the differences between their educational experiences as children and as adults. It also revealed the impact that their delayed academic achievement had had on their life trajectory. Out of those 50 participants, ten took part in semi-structured one-to-one interviews which allowed for more in-depth enquiry. The conclusions of the study were that, if not nurtured, an innate ability such as a high IQ can become a disadvantage over time. It suggests that not catering for the special educational needs of high IQ children by not providing the mental stimulation they need is 'intellectual neglect'. Such neglect, like physical and emotional neglect, may affect mental well-being in adulthood. In the study sample, most of the participants' long-term economic and mental health had been negatively affected by their academic underachievement, even when it had been reversed in adulthood. This is an area which seems to have been little researched so far, perhaps because of the difficulty of locating high IQ underachieving adults. Yet, the issues highlighted by the research are of great importance not only to the individuals concerned but also to society. The desired outcomes of this study are that the dissemination of the results will raise awareness amongst educators and policy makers of the potential negative long-term effects of neglecting high IQ children's intellectual needs. It will also provide a platform for further research.

Full textAbstract:
The present study was an attempt to look at the empirical classification of children's learning disabilities based on neuropsychological variables at differing IQ levels. Subjects were divided into four groups based upon Full Scale IQ (i.e., 70-79, 8089, 90-99, 100-110). Subsequent clustering of the test data within each group suggested that while the students in the 70-79 IQ range were represented by a single impaired cluster, each of the other IQ groups had both a moderately impaired cluster and a non-impaired cluster. The study attempted to respond to criticisms of previous research by using a large sample of subjects (N = 928), utilizing a broad range of subjects with a representative sample of abilities, and applying an interpretable structure to the cluster analysis (i.e., neuropsychological variables within IQ levels). The present research further offered a perspective on programming by way of neuropsychological functioning. As such, the results argued for placement procedures for learning disabled children that are apart from those formulas relative to achievement and intelligence.Department of Educational Psychology

Інтелектом називають здібності до цілеспрямованих дій, раціонального мислення і ефективної взаємодії з зовнішнім середовищем (особливо успішне розв'язання труднощів), здібності раціонального пізнання дійсності. Інтелект включає здатність індивіда міркувати, навчатися, пам'ятати, зв'язувати поняття причинним зв'язком і робити висновки (логічно мислити), творити. Ступінь розвитку інтелекту (індекс інтелекту) виміряється за допомогою спеціальних стандартних тестів. Формування інтелекту залежить від будови й функціонування мозку, низки генів і зовнішніх умов (харчування, шкільна освіта, освіта батьків, захворювання в дитинстві тощо). Інтелект знижується при деяких спадкових захворюваннях (фенілкетонурія, синдром Дауна й ін.).

The first aim of this work was to integrate, validate, and document, a digital particle image quantification (Flow-IQ) software package developed in conjunction with and supported by Aeroprobe Corporation. The system is tailored towards experimental fluid mechanics applications. The second aim of this work was to test the performance of DPIV algorithms in wall shear flows, and to test the performance of several particle sizing algorithms for use in spray sizing and average diameter calculation. Several particle sizing algorithms which assume a circular particle profile were tested with DPIV data on spray atomization, including three point Guassian, four point Gaussian, and least squares algorithms. A novel elliptical diameter estimation scheme was developed which does not limit the measurement to circular patterns. The elliptic estimator developed in this work is able to estimate the diameter of a particle with an elliptic shape, and assumes that the particle is axisymmetric about the x or y axis. Two elliptical schemes, the true and averaged elliptical estimators, were developed and compared to the traditional three point Gaussian diameter estimator using theoretical models. If elliptical particles are theoretically used, the elliptical sizing schemes perform drastically better than the traditional scheme, which is limited to diameter measurements in the x-direction. The error of the traditional method in determining the volume of an elliptical particle increases dramatically with the eccentricity. Monte Carlo Simulations were also used to characterize the error associated with wall shear measurements using DPIV. Couette flow artificial images were generated with various shear rates at the wall. DPIV analysis was performed on these images using PIV algorithms developed by other researchers, including the traditional multigrid method, a dynamically-adaptive DPIV scheme, and a control set with no discrete window offset. The error at the wall was calculated for each data set. The dynamically adaptive scheme was found to estimate the velocity near the wall with less error than the no discrete window offset and traditional multigrid algorithms. The shear rate was found to be the main factor in the error in the velocity measurement. In wall shear velocity measurement, the mean (bias) error was an order of magnitude greater than the RMS (random) error. A least squares scheme was used to correct for this bias error with favorable results. The major contribution of this effort stems from providing a novel elliptical particle sizing scheme for use in DPIV, and quantifies the error associated with wall shear measurements using several DPIV algorithms. A test bed and comprehensive user's manual for Flow-IQ v2.2 was also developed in this work.Master of Science

Mestrado em Engenharia Electrónica e TelecomunicaçõesNos últimos anos, a crescente necessidade de largura de banda e a evolução das técnicas de processamento digital de sinal renovaram o interesse pelos sistemas de comunicação ópticos coerentes. O modulador IQ assume-se como um componente chave nestes transmissores, sendo responsável pela conversão de informação do domínio eléctrico para o domínio óptico. Os moduladores Mach-Zehnder que constituem este dispositivo recebem sinais de drive com uma excursão controlada, garantindo a utilização de uma região aproximadamente linear das suas funções transferência e a geração de constelações sem distorções de fase. No entanto, existem vantagens em explorar a extensão completa da característica dos moduladores. Neste contexto, torna-se relevante efectuar um estudo acerca das técnicas de pré-distorção electrónica que permitem corrigir os efeitos das não-linearidades associadas a este método de transmissão. Esta dissertação foca-se no estudo da compensação dos impactos que a característica não-linear do modulador Mach-Zehnder tem nos sistemas de transmissão ópticos coerentes. Após a identificação e desenvolvimento de soluções matemáticas para o problema, realizaram-se vários testes utilizando um simulador integrado em ambiente MATLAB. Um sistema de transmissão coerente utilizando formatos de modulação QAM e os respectivos algoritmos de compensação foram posteriormente implementados em FPGA. Desenvolveram-se também co-simulações que permitiram garantir que o hardware concebido produzia os resultados desejados. Para além disso, realizaram-se vários testes utilizando um modulador IQ disponível no “Laboratório de Óptica” do Instituto de Telecomunicações de Aveiro. O objectivo consistiu em operar o sistema em condições laboratoriais e analisar o desempenho dos algoritmos de compensação em ambiente real.
In recent years, the ever-increasing bandwidth demand and the evolution of digital signal processing techniques renewed the interest for the optical coherent systems. The IQ-Modulator is a key component in optical coherent transmitters, being responsible for the conversion of information from electrical to optical domain. The Mach-Zehnder modulators that compose this device receive driving signals with a controlled excursion, in order to use an approximately linear region of their transfer function and produce constellations without phase distortions. However, there are advantages in exploit the full range of the modulators’ characteristic. In this context, a study about the electronic predistortion techniques required to overcome the nonlinear effects associated to this transmission method becomes relevant. The subject of this dissertation is the compensation of impairments related to the nonlinear characteristic of the Mach-Zehnder Modulator in coherent optical transmission systems. After the identification and development of mathematical solutions for the problem, several tests were made using a simulator that runs in a MATLAB environment. A QAM coherent transmitter system and the compensation algorithm were then implemented in a FPGA platform. Co-simulations were performed in order to prove that the designed hardware was generating correct results. Furthermore, some tests were conducted using an IQ-Modulator available in the “Optics Laboratory” at Telecommunications Institute of Aveiro. The goal was to operate the system under laboratorial conditions and analyze the performance of the compensation algorithm in a real case scenario.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the present doctoral thesis was to examine to what extent personality traits and approaches to learning contribute to academic performance in upper secondary school (high school), after controlling for the well-known fact that general intelligence accounts for a large part of the variance. The general proposition of the thesis is that personality traits are stable dispositions and therefore predispose an individual to behave or act in a specific manner (Costa & McCrae, 1976). Additionally, another important determinant of academic performance is students’ approaches to learning, the way someone studies and makes sense of a particular school subject (Biggs, 1999). Study I examined how personality traits, divided into facets, predict academic performance in different school subjects. The results from several SEM analyses showed that personality, specifically Conscientiousness, has a positive influence on academic performance. In addition, there was a negative relation between Extraversion and academic performance and a positive relation between Neuroticism and academic performance. There were also interesting findings on the facet levels for all traits. The major conclusion of this study is that personality traits, both on the factor level and on the facet level, are important to academic performance in general, but sometimes more specifically to different school subjects. In Study II, the aim was to investigate the unique contribution of learning approaches to academic performance. A second aim was to explore possible gender differences in learning approaches. It was found that learning approaches contributed uniquely to academic performance, over and above personality and general intelligence. Differences between girls and boys were found, both with respect to the use of learning approaches and the consequences of these learning approaches for performance results. Based on a longitudinal design, the aim of Study III was to explore to what extent personality traits predict academic performance. Conscientiousness, Extraversion and Neuroticism were found to predict overall academic performance. Results suggest that personality traits, as measured at the age of 16, can predict academic performance at the age of 19, and more specifically: the grades of conscientious students improved from age 16 to age 19. This study extends previous work by assessing the relationship between the Big Five and academic performance over a three-year period.

Full textAbstract:
The US National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) measures cognitive competences in reading and mathematics of US students (last 2012 survey N = 50,000). The long-term development based on results from 1971 to 2012 allows a prediction of future cognitive trends. For predicting US averages also demographic trends have to be considered. The largest groups’ (White) average of 1978/80 was set at M = 100 and SD = 15 and was used as a benchmark. Based on two past NAEP development periods for 17-year-old students, 1978/80 to 2012 (more optimistic) and 1992 to 2012 (more pessimistic), and demographic projections from the US Census Bureau, cognitive trends until 2060 for the entire age cohort and ethnic groups were estimated. Estimated population averages for 2060 are 103 (optimistic) or 102 (pessimistic). The average rise per decade is dec = 0.76 or 0.45 IQ points. White-Black and White-Hispanic gaps are declining by half, Asian-White gaps treble. The catch-up of minorities (their faster ability growth) contributes around 2 IQ to the general rise of 3 IQ; however, their larger demographic increase reduces the general rise at about the similar amount (-1.4 IQ). Because minorities with faster ability growth also rise in their population proportion the interactive term is positive (around 1 IQ). Consequences for economic and societal development are discussed.

In this bachelor thesis, the possiblity to correct for room acousticsbased on frequency analysis is studied. A software to calculate transferfunctions online was constructed and tested. This was done using a ver-sion of the Maximum Length Sequence method, which is a method thatrequires long sequences for rooms with long reverberation. During theproject, it was noted that zero padding the sequences improved the ac-curacy greatly, it was also noted that the length of the zero pad aectedthe results. The software was tested both in computer simulations andin practice. While testing in practice, it was noted that the system haslimitations on which rooms it would work in. All testsignals were recordedand afterwards, compared to the original recording. The constructed soft-ware showed, that it is possible to correct for unknown transfer functionsusing only frequency analysis, to some extent. Further, it does correct forthe room's transfer function, but it is dicult to say if it this is valid forall rooms and transfer functions.

O objetivo deste projeto foi determinar qual o fator de penalização ótimo e parâmetros de aquisição ideais em estudos clínicos. Foram adquiridas imagens com o fantoma de qualidade NEMA IEC, preenchido com uma concentração radioativa de fundo de 5,40 kBq/mL e as esferas com 24,66 kBq/mL. Foram calculados coeficientes de recuperação (CR) e variabilidade de fundo (VF) nas imagens reconstruídas com o algoritmo Q.Clear (β variável entre 150 e 500). Sessenta doentes realizaram estudos PET/CT com 18F-FDG e foram divididos de acordo com a atividade administrada (2, 3 e 4 MBq/kg). As imagens foram adquiridas em list mode e reconstruídas com 30, 60, 90 e 120 segundos, usando um algoritmo standard (VUE Point HD) e o algoritmo Q.Clear. Foram avaliados SUV máximos das lesões, rácios lesão/fundo e as imagens foram revistas visualmente por 2 observadores. Observou-se que os valores de CR e VF diminuem à medida que o fator β aumenta, especialmente em pequenas estruturas. Os valores de SUV máximo diminuem à medida que o fator β aumenta. Os rácios lesão/fundo são mais elevados com o Q.Clear em relação ao algoritmo standard, sem diferenças estatísticas significativas em todos os conjuntos. A avaliação qualitativa mostrou uma concordância reduzida entre os observadores. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que o algoritmo Q.Clear tem um impacto significativo no contraste e quantificação das lesões. O valor ótimo para o fator de penalização β necessita de ser ajustado de acordo com o tipo de estrutura a ser estudada. xii
The up-to-date GE Healthcare scanner, PET-CT Discovery IQ 4R, provides the highest sensitivity, the largest field of view of the industry and dual energy acquisition channel technology. In addition, the algorithm Q.Clear, controls the noise through the use of a penalization factor (β), that allows an effective convergence and provides more consistent measurements of Standardized Uptake Values (SUV). The aim of this project was to determine the optimum penalization factor β of Q.Clear and ideal acquisition parameters in clinical settings. A NEMA IEC Body Phantom, filled with a background activity of 5,40 kBq/mL and spheres with 24,66 kBq/mL was acquired on a PET-CT Discovery IQ 4R and recovery coefficient (RC) and background variability (BV) were determined for images reconstructed with Q.Clear (β 150-500). Sixty patients performing 18F-FDG PET-CT were divided per administered dose (2, 3 and 4 MBq/Kg). The images were acquired in list mode and reconstructed with 30, 60, 90 and 120 seconds using a standard algorithm (VUE Point HD) and Q.Clear. These were evaluated for lesions SUVmax and lesion/background ratios and qualitatively by 2 observers. It has been observed that RC and BV values decrease as the β value increases, especially for smaller structures. SUVmax values decrease as the β value increases. Lesion contrast ratios are higher with Q. Clear when compared with standard algorithm, but with no statistical significant difference for all image reconstruction sets. Qualitative evaluation shows a small agreement between the scores. Results obtained show that Q.Clear has a significant impact in lesion contrast and quantification. The optimum penalization factor of Q. Clear needs to adjusted according to the type of structure being studied. xiv

Full textAbstract:
Les stations de base de télécommunications contemporaines pour les réseaux GSM / EDGE, WCDMA / HSPA et LTE sont de plus en plus complexes et à forte intensité énergétique. La solution privilégiée est un émetteur véritablement multi-standard. Modernes émetteurs des stations de base sont souvent multi-standard, en ce qu'ils peuvent supporter différentes normes ou de modes air-interface. Cependant, ce n'est pas réalisé par le fonctionnement simultané des normes différentes ou des «modes», mais par des moyens de reconfiguration, qui sont inefficaces et coûteux. Nous envisageons un émetteur entièrement multi-mode pratique capable de supporter simultanément GSM / EDGE, WCDMA / HSPA et LTE transporteurs. L'évolution des normes 3GPP vers un fonctionnement multi-mode est au stade embryonnaire. Pour contribuer à cet effort, notre travail revisite l'architecture traditionnelle de l'émetteur de station de base macro-cellule afin d'analyser et de définir les exigences de performance pour une plate-forme de radio cellulaire multi-standard. Notre analyse et la conception du système identifie également un goulot d'étranglement potentiel dans la chaîne multi-mode proposé, dont l'analyse est présentée. En conséquence, et enfin, nous proposons la conception d'un gain variable analogique modulateur en quadrature qui contourne le goulot d'étranglement, en soulignant la portée pour le développement futur et la validation de ce travail. Ce travail apporte également en avant quelques problèmes au niveau du système et met également en lumière les défis dans le fonctionnement des stations de base multi-standardContemporary telecommunication Base-Stations for GSM/EDGE, WCDMA/HSPA and LTE are increasingly complex and energy intensive. The favoured solution is a truly multi-standard transmitter known as a single Radio Access Network (single-RAN). Modern base station transmitters are often multi-standard, in that they can support different air-interface standards or modes. However, this is achieved not through concurrent operation of the different standards or 'modes', but by means of reconfiguration, which is inefficient and expensive. We envision a practical, fully multi-mode transmitter capable of simultaneously supporting GSM/EDGE, WCDMA/HSPA and LTE carriers. The evolution of 3GPP standards towards multi-mode operation is in the nascent stage. To contribute to this effort, our work revisits the architecture of the traditional macro-cell Base-Station transmitter in order to analyse and define performance requirements for a multi-standard cellular radio platform. Our system analysis and design also identifies a potential bottleneck in the proposed multi-mode chain, for which analysis is presented. Consequently and lastly, we propose the conceptual design of a variable-gain Analog Quadrature Modulator that bypasses the bottleneck, highlighting scope for future development and validation of this work. This work also brings forth some system-level issues and also highlights challenges in the operation of multi-standard Base-Stations. Some of these include multi-mode signal crest-factor reduction, carrier-to-carrier interference mitigation, per-carrier power-control, etc

Full textAbstract:
In order to detect and quantify intellectual impairment current IQ test performance must be compared with an estimate of premorbid intellectual level. One means of obtaining this estimate is to use a current ability measure which meets, as fully as possible, the following three criteria; firstly, the measure should be reliable, secondly, test performance should correlate highly with IQ in the general population, thirdly, test performance should be resistant to the effects of neurological and psychiatric disorder. In the present work, the National Adult Reading Test (NART; Nelson, 1982) was evaluated against these criteria. The NART is a single word, oral reading test and consists of 50 words of irregular pronunciation (eg ache, deny). The results indicated that the NART has high split-half, test-retest and inter-rater reliability. Secondly, the NART has high construct validity as a measure of intelligence (ie it loads highly on g) and predicts a substantial proportion of WAIS IQ variance. Thirdly, NART performance was largely resistant to the effects of neurological and psychiatric disorder. In this last respect it was superior to the Vocabulary subtest of the WAIS, a commonly used, putative premorbid index. An alternative method of estimating premorbid IQ was developed by Wilson et al. (1978) in the US. Using the WAIS standardisation sample, these authors built a multiple regression equation to estimate premorbid WAIS IQ from demographic variables (eg education, occupation). In the present work, demographic regression equations were built to estimate WAIS IQ in the UK population. The results indicated that the demographic approach is applicable in the UK. Demographic variables predicted 50&'37 of WAIS IQ variance. It was also demonstrated that regression equations which combine the NART and demographic variables provide more accurate estimates than either method alone. While the demographic approach is a less powerful predictor of IQ than either the NART or combined method, its compensatory advantage is that the estimates it provides are entirely independent of current cognitive capacity. The clinical utility of premorbid indices was demonstrated by the fact that they improved discrimination between impaired and healthy subjects over the use of current IQ measures alone. To date, UK research on premorbid indices has used WAIS IQ as the criterion variable. The final aim of the present work was to build equations to estimate premorbid WAIS-R IQ. Drawing on the results of earlier work, a revised version of the NART was developed (NART-R). Equations for the estimation of WAIS-R IQ from the NART-R, demographic variables and the combination of these variables are presented.

The present study sought to demonstrate research based evidence that the more time spent in ABA therapy resulted in a an increase in IQ scores for participants. The research also sought to demonstrate that the PEAK Relational Training System can be effective as a treatment package. Previous research has evaluated the direct training protocol of the PEAK Relational Training System. The present study looked to evaluate the generalizing training protocols within the PEAK System, as well as support these previous findings. In Experiment 1 a quasi-experimental design was implemented and both control and treat-ment groups were exposed to testing measures. Results demonstrated greater gains made by the treatment group. Experiment 2 utilized a multiple baseline design across partici-pant and three designated generalized training programs from the PEAK System. Results showed a positive correlation between the PEAK Relational Training System and the par-ticipant’s IQ scores.

En kvalitativ studie har genomförts på tre kampanjbilder från IQ-initiativets satsning “IQ student”. Kampanjbilderna har ett motsvarande tema baserat på att det alltid finns en anledning till att dricka alkohol. Studien har med hjälp av fokusgruppsintervjuer och en intervju med IQ tagit reda på hur IQ vill att studenterna ska tolka bilderna och hur studenterna faktiskt tolkar dem. Studien utgick från teorier som receptionsstudie, semiotik och socialpsykologi. Analysen av resultaten har dessutom ställts upp i förhållande till relevant forskning inom området publika kampanjer och gruppbeteende. Studiens resultat visar bland annat på att IQ vill att studenter ska tänka över sina alkoholvanor och att de på sikt ska minska sin konsumtion av alkohol. Resultatet visar även att studenterna tar till sig budskapet eftersom de kan relatera till det, men tar det sedan inte vidare. Studenterna tycker inte att deras alkoholkonsumtion är ett problem och känner därför inte att det är något de behöver förändra.A qualitative study has been conducted on three campaign images from the company IQ. The campaign is called “IQ student” and the images are based on the same theme, suggesting that students always finds a reason to drink alcohol. We have used focus group interviews and an interview with IQ as our methods to find out how IQ want the students to interpret the images, and also how the student interpret them. The study is based on theories as reception study, semiotics and social psychology. The analysis of the results has also been set in relation to relevant research in the field of public campaigns and group behavior. Our results demonstrate that IQ wants students to think about their alcohol habits and that they want the students to reduce their consumption of alcohol. The result also shows that students embrace the message as they can relate to it, but it does not come any further. The students think that their drinking is not a problem and therefore they don’t want to change anything about their alcohol habits.

Because of the tough competition inthe telecom business there is aconstant push for higher capacity anddata rates and the companies producingthe telecommunications equipment needmore cost effective products to stayahead of competitors. It is thereforeinteresting to evaluate thepossibilities to use unlicensedfrequency bands at higher frequenciesas a complement to the traditionallower frequency bands. This study isfocusing on the 5.8 GHz band, which ismainly used for WLAN applications. Akey component in most transmitter (TX)designs is is the quadraturemodulator, which upconverts theinformation signal to desired carrierfrequency. In this study an attempt toevaluate the commercially availablequadrature modulator ADL5375 at 5.8GHz. An AWR Visual System Simulator(VSS) model based on measurements ofkey parameters of ADL5375 isconstructed. An attempt is made to seewhether a TX design can pass thespecifications set by 3rd GenerationPartnership Project (3GPP) for theLong Term Evolution (LTE) standard. Totest this an LTE signal source wasalso constructed. No certainconclusions can be drawn withoutputting the modulator in a complete(TX) design but the results indicatethat it might be possible to use it ina (TX) design for the 5.8 GHz band.

Full textAbstract:
The effects of lead poisoning have been known for centuries and the deleterious effects of chronic, low to moderate levels of lead exposure on children's cognitive functioning is now well-established (Needleman & Gatsonis, 1990; Schwartz, 1995). Similarly, low and moderate levels of lead exposure early in life have been frequently associated with behavioural disturbances later in life in children and animals. However, few studies have systematically investigated the link between lead-induced deficits in cognitive functioning and lead-induced behavioural disturbances. This project describes a series of studies investigating the effects of lead on auditory processing and attentional behaviour, and their ability to account for the deleterious effects of lead on IQ in children participating in the Port Pirie Cohort study. Capillary blood samples were collected from the children at various ages from birth to 2 years, and annually thereafter until the age of 7. A measure of lifetime PbB was calculated for each child using the geometric mean of all the blood lead samples. This measure of lifetime PbB was used as a continuous explanatory variable in each of the studies described below. A variety of sociodemographic, health, anthropometric, birth and developmental covariates and potential confounders were recorded prospectively and concurrently. Using Needleman et al.'s (1996) analysis protocol, 8 of these covariates were included in all final regression models. Study One: A total of 387 children from Port Pirie, Australia (mean age of 7.7 years) participated in a study of childrens simple auditory processing. Children completed a series of monaural listening tasks across 4 ear/hand conditions. It was hypothesised that auditory reaction time and auditory processing accuracy would be related the lifetime PbB. Analysis revealed no significant associations between lifetime PbB and the reaction time to target words and a small significant association (3.6%) between lifetime PbB and accuracy of target word detection in just one of the four ear/hand conditions. The strongest associations were found between PbB and false responses to distractor words (10.1%, after adjusting for confounders). It was speculated that this pattern of results could be explained via lead effects on other processes such as impairments to impulse control or attentional processes. Study Two: Study Two investigated the effect of lifetime PbB on childrens complex auditory processing. In this study participants completed dichotic listening tasks across 4 different ear/hand conditions. After controlling for potential confounders, lifetime PbB accounted for 6.2% of the variance in the accuracy of target word detection. A weak direct association (3.0% of the adjusted variance) was also found between lifetime PbB and target word reaction time. No significant associations were found between lifetime PbB and the percentage of false responses or the speed of the false responses. Again the pattern of results was suggestive of a deficit in attentional processes such as freedom from distraction and impulse control. Study Three: This study hypothesised that lead-induced impairments to attentional behaviour - similar to those observed in Studies One and Two - would be observed in other contexts. The mothers of 492 cohort children, and teachers of 454 of the children participated in this study. The mean age of children for whom ratings were collected was 7 years and 4 months. Two versions of the Conners Behavior Rating Scale were used to rate the childrens behaviour: The Parent Rating Scale and the Teacher Rating Scale. Lifetime PbB accounted for a significant amount of the variance in Conners Parent Behavior Rating Scale scores. It accounted for 5.9% and 7.3% of the unadjusted variance in the Immature/Inattentive, and Hyperactive/Impulsive scores respectively. After adjusting for covariates, each of these associations remained significant. The associations between lifetime PbB and girls' behaviour scores were much higher (11.2%) than the PbB associations with boys' behaviour scores (4.6%). The unadjusted associations between lifetime PbB and Teacher Rating Scores, although much lower, were also significant and accounted for between 1.2% and 2.4% of the variance in the behaviour scores. However, after controlling for potential covariates these associations were no longer significant. These results indicated that increases in lifetime PbB were associated with higher Hyperactivity/Impulsivity and Immature/Inattention and scores on the Conner's Parent Rating Scale, but not the Conner's Teachers Rating Scale. Study Four: In this study it was hypothesised that a significant association would exist between childrens auditory processing performance and parent and teacher behavioural ratings of inattention and impulsivity. Correlational analysis was conducted on the data from Studies One, Two, and Three, to ascertain if the behavioural patterns as reported by the children's parents and teachers, were associated with the children's performance on the auditory processing tasks. Correlational analysis revealed highly significant correlation coefficients in the direction predicted between auditory processing scores and the Inattention and Hyperactivity/Impulsive scores of the Conner's Parent and Teacher Rating Scales. Study Five: The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which auditory processing and attentional behaviour scores could account for the lead-induced deficits in children's global cognitive abilities. Combining IQ data with data from Studies One, Two, and Three, a hierarchical analysis was conducted with lifetime PbB as the continuous explanatory variable. The analysis entered potential covariates at step 1, behaviour ratings at step 2, auditory processing efficiency in step 3, auditory processing speed in step 4, and lifetime PbB at step 5. The results indicated that when parent and teacher ratings of behaviour and auditory processing efficiency were included in the model, lifetime PbB no longer accounted for a significant proportion of Verbal, Performance or Full-Scale IQ scores. On the other hand, further analyses demonstrated that the significant associations between lifetime PbB and parental behaviour ratings could not be accounted for by including IQ scores as mediating variables in the analytical model. Conclusion: The results of this project provide evidence for the deleterious effect of lead exposure on children's auditory processing performance and parent ratings of behaviour. Further, including these variables in an analysis of the effects of lifetime PbB on IQ served to markedly attenuate direct effect of lead on IQ to the level of non-significance. Taken together the data implicates disturbances to attentional processes (such as impulsivity and inattention) as possible mediators of lead-induced deficits in IQ.
