In this paper we present a way to build a low-cost, highly immersive virtual reality environment for engineering and construction applications. Furthermore, we present a method to simplify and partly automate the process of reusing digital building models, which are already used in construction, to...

Students collected their own diet data, assembled those data in talk and poster form and presented their work at a university departmental talk and a local ecological research symposium. Students also met and socialized with scientists in a range of fields in order to increase exposure to possible...
data: generalized additive models, boosted regression trees, and lasso regression. Each submodel was fit using fivefold cross-validation to avoid overfitting and the out-of-sample predictions from across the five folds were compiled into a single comprehensive set of predictions from that model. ...
