    摘要: An exemplary airport tug is configured to navigate an airport facility autonomously. The exemplary airport tug may comprise a coupling portion configured to engage with a receiving portion of an aircraft, one or more sensors configured to collect sensor data descriptive of environmental conditions in a vicinity of the airport tug, a memory storing instructions, and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to perform a process comprising: monitoring, based on the sensor data, the environmental conditions in the vicinity of the airport tug; and directing, based on the monitoring of the environmental conditions and while the coupling portion is engaged to the receiving portion, autonomous movement of the airport tug to transport the aircraft from a starting position to a designated delivery position for the aircraft at the airport facility.

    摘要: A method for academic engagement includes parsing answers from questions in a question group from completed questionnaires. Answers are discrete numbers. The method includes determining a transformed scale score as: {acute over (x)}=x−1, determining a POMP score as:




    p
    =


    x


    n





    and mapping a rescaled probability as: {acute over (p)}=δp+0.5(1−δ). δ is a scaling constant between 0.5 and 1. The method includes determining a modified logit as:






    t
    =

    ln


    (


    p



    1
    -

    p




    )



    ,




    determining a mean for the modified logit values and determining a mean rescaled probability for each determined mean as:







    p
    ^



    =



    e

    t




    1
    +

    e

    t





    .





    The method includes determining an estimated standard probability as:







    p
    ^

    =




    p
    ^



    +

    0.5


    (

    δ

    ,




    determining a rescaled transformed scale score as: {circumflex over (x)}=4{circumflex over (p)} and transforming the rescaled transformed scale score to an estimated score: {circumflex over (X)}={circumflex over (x)}+1. The method includes reporting the estimated score {circumflex over (X)} for each question group of the questionnaire group.

    摘要: Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for nanotechnology fabrication in a virtual reality environment. An apparatus includes a simulation module configured to generate a virtual reality environment for simulating a nanotechnology fabrication line. An apparatus includes a task module configured to provide one or more tasks associated with nanotechnology fabrication for a user to complete during a simulation within a virtual reality environment. An apparatus includes an assessment module configured to assess a user's performance while completing one or more tasks during a simulation within a virtual reality environment.
