P.A.S.S. (Personnel Activated Security Device)sn
P.A.S.S. is a multistage point-of-entry security device. The purpose is to use multiple methods of identification instead of relying on a single method. All three identification methods must be satisfied to be granted ... -
Pair programming to facilitate the training of newly-hired programmers
(2003-04-07)Pair programming is touted by some software professionals as a style which allows developers to produce superior code in less time, and with fewer defects, than code produced by individuals. However, the acclaim for the ... -
Parallel implementation of high-speed, phase diverse atmospheric turbulence compensation method on a neural network-based architecture
(2008-04-16)Phase diversity imaging methods work well in removing atmospheric turbulence and some system effects from predominantly near-field imaging systems. However, phase diversity approaches can be computationally intensive and ... -
A parametric analysis of microbolometer pixel designs
(2011-09-16)As microbolometer pixel dimensions for infrared imagers continue to decrease, the need for full-wave analysis in the design process is enhanced. Using reflectance as the validation point, an electromagnetic model of a ... -
Parametric and Non-Parametric Regression Models with Applications to Climate Change
(2017-12)In this dissertation we have studied the climate factors that contribute to climate change using univariate and multivariate parametric methods as well as nonparametric models. In this study, we have three major ... -
A Parametric Evaluation of IoT Applications to Freight Transportation Using Model-Based Systems Engineering
(2020-12)Industrial Internet of Things or IIoT consists of computing and communication at the operational edge of a value chain. Applications span manufacturing, energy, and transportation, among others. In the transportation ... -
Parametric interatomic potential for graphene
(2009-02-27)A parametric interatomic potential is constructed for graphene. The potential energy consists of two parts: a bond energy function and a radial interaction energy function. The bond energy function is based on the ... -
Parametric Methods for Analysis of Survival Times with Applications to Organ Transplantation
(2019-05)In this dissertation, we have two main objectives. First, we introduce a hybrid method to model hazard function. Different approaches have been used for modeling survival times including parametric, semi-parametric, and ... -
The Parking Camera Project: Team Sauerkraut
The Parking Camera Project monitors multiple parking lot spaces and displays their availabilities in a mobile application. It uses an embedded system and a camera mounted above the parking lot to routinely capture images ... -
Part (I): Synthesis, Characterization and Antibacterial Activity of Vanadium(V) Complexes with ONS Schiff bases Part (II): Synthesis of 9-CD₃-11-cis-Retinal for the Investigation of the Activation Mechanism of GPCR Rhodopsin by Solid-State ²H NMR Spectroscopy
(2017-05)Vanadium compounds are known to play many roles in both biology and industry, and the biochemical activity of these compounds has led to their increased importance in both biological and medical research. In the present ... -
Partial least-squares regression neural network (PLSNET) with supervised adaptive modular learning
(1996-03-22)We present in this paper an adaptive linear neural network architecture called PLSNET. This network is based on partial least-squares (PLS) regression. The architecture is a modular network with stages that are associated ... -
Partial least-squares: Theoretical issues and engineering applications in signal processing
(1995)In this paper we present partial least-squares (PLS), which is a statistical modeling method used extensively in analytical chemistry for quantitatively analyzing spectroscopic data. Comparisons are made between classical ... -
Passive margin sedimentation on Costa Rica's North Caribbean coastal plain
(1998)Geomorphic, sedimentologic, and stratigraphic data obtained from the north Caribbean region of Costa Rica suggests Rio Colorado is a wave-dominated delta which has formed along a passive continental margin. This coastal ... -
Path optimization for oil probe
(2014-05-05)We discuss a robust method for optimal oil probe path planning inspired by medical imaging. Horizontal wells require three-dimensional steering made possible by the rotary steerable capabilities of the system, which allows ... -
Pattern Based Classification of Chronic Kidney Disease Patients
(2021-05)We apply a pattern-based classification method to identify clinical and genomic features associated with the progression of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). We analyze the African-American Study of Chronic Kidney Disease with ... -
Pattern classification approach to underwater acoustic communications based on the Wigner-Ville distribution
(2000-07-26)This paper describes an approach and preliminary results associated with the use of pattern recognition techniques to identify transmitted information (symbols) in a temporally variant acoustic channel. The method allows ... -
Pedestrian Bridge Design for Babcock Street
Florida Tech is seeking a safer option for students to cross Babcock Street •Most foot traffic occurs near the Landmark Apartment Complex •Origin-Destination Study was done to determine optimum location •Bridge is ... -
Pedestrian Bridge Over Babcock Street
At Sapper Engineering, we strive to design structures that uphold our philosophy of building safe, reliable, and economical futures. After first being approached by Mr. Greg Tsark on behalf of Florida Institute of Technology, ... -
The peer-reviewing game
(2008-11-08)We model a family of peer-reviewing processes as game-theoretic problems. The model helps to understand elements of existing peer-reviewing procedures, and to predict the impact of new mechanisms. The peer-reviewing for ... -
PEGDA Pouches to Prevent Adhesions with in vivo Bioreactor- based Vascular Graft Strategies
(2017-05)Different strategies have been investigated for the fabrication of vascular grafts. Using the peritoneal cavity of the patient as an “in vivo bioreactor” to recruit autologous cells to the implanted vascular conduit is ...
