Prestressed concrete is used in structures because of its versatility, adaptability, and durability. Durability of prestressed concrete bridges in extremely aggressive environments is of increasing concern because of corrosion of the...
In this work, Side-Channel Attacks (SCAs) are considered as a security metric for the implementation of hybrid cryptosystems utilizing the neural network-based Tree Parity Re-keying Machines (TPM). A virtual study is presented within the...
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are widely used and have an impressive performance in detecting and classifying objects. However, the CNN's performance is sensitive to variations in rotation, position or scaling of the objects to be...
The Search for N* Resonances: Measurement of Differential Cross Sections and Polarization Observables for γp → pω and γp → K0Σ+ Using Circularly-Polarized Photons at CLAS, Jefferson Lab
The study of baryon resonances offers a deeper understanding of the strong interaction, since the dynamics and relevant degrees of freedom hidden within them are reflected by the properties of these states. The baryon resonances have...
Vector-borne diseases account for more than 17% of infectious diseases, causing more than 1 million deaths annually from malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, etc. Diseases once thought to be controlled, have experienced a resurgence. For...
This case study used activity theory to explore how members participate in Wikidata and how they organize their work. This study addresses the need to have greater understanding of knowledge curation work in a large-scale peer-curated...
In undersea remote sensing change detection is the process of detecting changes from pairs of multi-temporal sonar images of the seafloor that are surveyed approximately from the same location. The problem of change detection, subsequent...
Selection of a suitable Ph.D. supervisor is a very important step in a student's career. This dissertation presents a multi-criteria decision support system to assist students in making this choice. The system employs a hybrid method...
This research investigates the combination of lidar and passive polarimetric infrared imaging for object detection and classification. Lidar imaging can characterize reflective properties of a scene and provide high resolution three...
Developers often need additional knowledge to complete some programming tasks, and they oftenseek information online to solve the problem at hand. Fortunately, online resources contain a vast amount of information at the developers’...
The atmosphere and the ocean interact through air-sea heat and momentum fluxes. These fluxes are critical in ocean, atmosphere, and coupled modeling across a broad range of spatial and temporal scales, from large-scale global modeling to...
Extreme heat events impact a wide range of health consequences (McMichael, Woodruff, and Hales 2006; Hondula, Balling, et al. 2015). The United States Center for Disease Control (CDC) defined the most at-risk groups to be: older adults, ...
Computer modeling is extensively used to probe structure and evolution of stars and planets. These computations allow astrophysicists to connect theoretical models of star formation and evolution to astronomical observations. Because...
Recent years have seen developments in lithium-ion capacitor (LIC) technology. However, there has been scant work in mathematical models to predict the performance of LICs. Existing models have focused upon cell degradation over time or...
In recent years, organic solar cells (OSCs) have been attracting much attention due to the ease of processing, low cost, flexibility, and lightweight compared to the traditional inorganic solar cells. Although OSC looks promising, it has...
Computer vision tasks are used in a myriad of applications such as facial and emotion recognition, autonomous driving, visual search, and augmented and virtual reality including virtual tours. In virtual tours, an object detection model...
This dissertation aims to describe the economic importance of developing models to describe dynamic networks. Structure that changes over time is a ubiquitous feature of networks generated by human interaction. Efforts to study these...
