Time Capsule to Mars (TC2M)
TC2M is a nationwide, student-led mission tasked with the design, transport and landing of a time capsule on the surface of Mars. The Florida Institute of Technology team is tasked with conducting the systems engineering ... -
Time Capsule to Mars: Systems Engineering and Launch Operations
To perform the systems engineering tasks and the Assembly, Test, and Launch Operations required to send theTC2M cubesats into space. To coordinate and manage the systems requirements, interfaces, and overall design models ... -
Time evolution of terrestrial gamma ray flashes
(2008-03-18)We present a study of the time evolution of TGFs observed by both RHESSI and BATSE and compare the data with Monte Carlo simulations of relativistic runaway electron avalanches that record the time of flight for individual ... -
Time Sensitive Functionals of Marked Random Measures in Real Time
(2018-10)In this dissertation, we study marked random measures that model stochastic networks (under attacks), status of queueing systems during vacation modes, responses to cancer treatments (such as chemotherapy and radiation), ... -
Time Series Classification using Covariance Descriptors
(2016-12)This thesis presents a novel framework for time series classification that leverages the geometric structure of covariance matrices when labeling signals. Our method maps each signal to a new multivariate localized feature ... -
Time series energy production in smoothed particle hydrodynamics accretion disks: Superhumps in the AM Canum venaticorum stars
(1998-10-10)The energy production time series of our purely hydrodynamic accretion disk simulations display remarkable similarities with the observed light curves of dwarf novae superhumps in general and the AM CVn stars in particular. ... -
TIMING AND CONSEQUENCES OF PLEISTOCENE MEGAFAUNAL POPULATION COLLAPSE IN SOUTH AMERICA
(2017-05)A key question for ecologists and paleontologists studying the extinction of the Pleistocene megafauna is: what caused the extinction of these animals? Was the extinction of megafauna caused solely by human-hunting ... -
Timing and locations of reef fish spawning off the southeastern United States
(2017-03-06)Managed reef fish in the Atlantic Ocean of the southeastern United States (SEUS) support a multi-billion dollar industry. There is a broad interest in locating and protecting spawning fish from harvest, to enhance productivity ... -
Timing of substorm related auroral oscillations
(2009-05-29)Previous studies have shown that auroral luminosity oscillations are often associated with substorms. Here we examine photometer data for the magnetospheric substorm on April 1, 2000 (expansive phase onset at 0525 UT) to ... -
Timing Properties of Active Galactic Nuclei
(2021-04-28)Timing properties of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are investigated primarily using archival data from the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) satellite collected between 1996 and 2011. The main emphasis is to search for ... -
Tip of the red giant branch distances to NGC 4214, UGC 685, and UGC 5456
(2002-03)We have used WFPC2 VRI observations to calculate the distances to three nearby galaxies, NGC 4214, UGC 685, and UGC 5456, using the tip of the red giant branch method. Our values for NGC 4214 (2.94 ± 0.18 Mpc) and UGC 685 ... -
Tobacco and E-cigarette Use in Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorders
(2019-01)While there has been an extensive amount of research on tobacco use in children and adolescents, very little has been conducted in children with developmental delays, particularly Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). ... -
Together We Can An Analysis of Barriers to Women in Leadership and the Unique Challenges Facing Women of Color
(2020-08)The purpose of this study is to examine and develop a scale on the current challenges facing women in leadership while giving special attention to the unique challenges facing women of color in leadership. The current study ... -
The Tolerance of Benthic Infauna to Fine-Grained Organic Rich Sediments in a Shallow Subtropical Estuary
(2016-12)Fine-grained organic-rich sediments (FGORS) from anthropogenic impacts are a growing concern for bays and estuaries around the world. This study explores the relationships between infaunal community diversity and species’ ... -
TOMCAT ROV and Mobile Operation Center
The objective of the TOMCAT Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) is to assist in underwater archeological missions featuring wide range of maneuverability, live feed at the surface, and a claw able to cut cable or rope in ... -
Tornado and Hurricane Hazards: Reconnaissance, Structural Analysis and Vulnerability Modeling
(2018-07)This thesis is composed of three main projects which are directly linked to wind engineering. Hazards such as tornadoes and hurricanes are natural disasters which causes human and economic losses. First, the study consists ... -
Toward the Development of a Practitioner-Friendly Delay Tolerance Assessment and Treatment for Typically-Developing Children
(2020-05)Delay discounting is the decrease in the value of a reinforcer as a function of the delay to the delivery of the reinforcer. Individuals who exhibit steep delay discounting are commonly referred to as ‘impulsive’ and are ... -
Towards a Usable-Security Engineering Framework for Enhancing Software Development
(2015-05)Computer systems are fundamental tools for almost every single process in life. People from all over the globe use computer systems for an unlimited number of purposes. Consequently, a close relationship between people ... -
Towards Enhanced Security for Automotive Operating Systems
(2018-12)Modern automotive infotainment systems are represented by highly complex components with broad functionality and network capabilities. As a result, they are becoming more exposed to the outer world, thus turning into ...
