In this work we present a thread-based approach for analyzing synchronous collaborative math problem solving activities. Thread information is shown to be an important resource for analyzing collaborative activities, especially for conducting sequential analysis of interaction among participants of a small group. We propose a computational model based on thread information which allows us to identify patterns of interaction and their sequential organization in computer-supported collaborative environments. This approach enables us to understand important features of collaborative math problem solving in a chat environment and to envisage several useful implications for educational and design purposes.

Rigorous Analysis of Double-Negative Materials with the Multilevel Fast Multipole Algorithm
Ergül, Özgür Salih (2012-02-01)
We present rigorous analysis of double-negative materials (DNMs) with surface integral equations and the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). Accuracy and efficiency of numerical solutions are investigated when DNMs are formulated with two recently developed formulations, i.e., the combined tangential formulation (CTF) and the electric and magnetic current combined-field integral equation (JMCHE). Simulation results on canonical objects are consistent with previous results in the literature on ordin...
Exact decomposition algorithms for nonlinear location and hub location problems
Gündoğdu, Emine; Gürel, Sinan; Department of Industrial Engineering (2018)
Developing exact solution algorithms to solve difficult optimization problems is one of the most important subjects in the operations research literature. In this dissertation, we develop Benders decomposition based exact solution algorithms (BDTAs) for handling nonlinearity in three selected nonlinear integer location/hub location problems. The first and second problem include nonlinear capacity constraints, while in the last problem, both objective function and the capacity constraints are nonlinear. In o...
Pattern recognition in bistable networks
VLADIMIR, CHINAROV; Halıcı, Uğur; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (1999-04-08)
Present study concerns the problem of learning, pattern recognition and computational abilities of a homogeneous network composed from coupled bistable units. An efficient learning algorithm is developed. New possibilities for pattern recognition may be realized due to the developed technique that permits a reconstruction of a dynamical system using the distributions of its attractors. In both cases the updating procedure for the coupling matrix uses the minimization of least-mean-square errors between the ...
Middle school students' use of problem-solving steps and their strategies in solving word problems
Alkan, C. Sinan; Akyüz, Didem; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2019)
The aim of the present study was to investigate the middle school students’ use of problem solving steps and their use of the strategies in the process of solution of Problem-Solving questions related to topics of numbers generally. The data was gathered in the fall semester of the 2017-2018 academic year. The study sample included 116 (29 fifth graders, 29 sixth graders, 25 seventh graders, and 33 eighth graders) middle school students in Konya, Turkey. Different Problem Solving Achievement tests were used...
