Unveiling the structure of barred galaxies at 3.6 mu;m with the spitzer survey of stellar structure in galaxies (S4G). I. Disk breaks
(2014-01-28)We have performed two-dimensional multicomponent decomposition of 144 local barred spiral galaxies using 3.6 μm images from the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies. Our model fit includes up to four components ... -
Uplink Throughput Prediction and Device Geolocation in Cellular Communication System Using Machine Learning Methodology
(2021-05)Continuously increasing the number of interconnecting devices, cloud services, and social media usage require enormous amounts of mobile data. Due to the rapid increase in cellular data demand, accurate cellular ... -
An upper and lower solution approach for a generalized Thomas–Fermi theory of neutral atoms
(2002-04)An upper and lower solution theory for boundary value problems modeled from the Thomas-Fermi equation, was presented. The approach was subjected to a boundary condition corresponding to the neutral atom with Bohr radius. ... -
Upsilon production cross section in pp collisions at √s=7TeV
(2011-06-15)The Υ(1S), Υ(2S), and Υ(3S) production cross sections in proton-proton collisions at √s=7TeV are measured using a data sample collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.1±0.3pb ... -
Upward electrical discharges observed above Tropical Depression Dorian
(2015-01-21)Observation of upward electrical discharges from thunderstorms has been sporadically reported in the scientific literature. According to their terminal altitudes, they are classified as starters (20-30km), jets (40-50km) ... -
URC UAV
The UAV will provide aerial assistance for Team Olympus throughout the Mars Society 2015 University Rover Challenge. Assistance includes carrying tools, identifying optimal travel path, and locating objects. This project ... -
Use of Garmin Autopilot Envelope Protection System for Simplified Vehicle Operations in General Aviation
(2020-05)The general aviation industry suffers from high rates of fatalities and accidents occurring due to loss of control while in flight. This thesis research aims to implement a simple yet effective simplified vehicle operations ... -
Use of ground penetrating radar for determination of water table depth and subsurface soil characteristics at Kennedy Space Center
(2013-10-24)Sustainable use and management of natural resources require strategic responses using non-destructive tools to provide spatial and temporal data for decision making. Experiments conducted at John F. Kennedy Space Center ... -
Use of short-pulse laser for optical tomography of tissues
(2001-06-04)This paper analyzes the short pulse laser propagation through tissues for development of a time-resolved optical tomography system for detection of tumors and inhomogeneities in tissues. Traditional method for analyzing ... -
USE OF STEMS OF EMERGENT PLANTS FOR OVIPOSITION BY THE FLORIDA APPLESNAIL, POMACEA PALUDOSA, AND IMPLICATIONS FOR MARSH MANAGEMENT
(1996)This field study examined the distribution among emergent plant stems of egg clutches deposited by the amphibious Florida applesnail in four types of marsh in east central Florida. Clutch density was highest along the edge ... -

Using a Personalized Machine Learning Approach to Detect Stolen Phones
(2015-12)With the increasing number of smartphone penetration, mining smartphone data that make smartphone smarter became a top research area, there are a lot of event data which we can use to predict behavior or detect anomalies. ... -
Using a reply path and handshaking protocol to allow for incentives with mix-net servers
(2004-11-30)Sending a message to a destination anonymously so that the destination cannot figure out who the originator was, and ensuring that the message reaches the destination untampered with, can be a difficult problem. Chaum's ... -
Using Dispersive Raman Spectroscopy to Assess Remodeling in Vascular Constructs used in Tissue Engineering
(2018-05)Tissue engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) are a promising alternative to surgery for the treatment of thrombotic occlusion of small diameter (< 6 mm) arteries. It is important that TEVG composition prevent compliance ... -
Using Disruptive Coloration and Ultraviolet Light to Prevent Barnacle Settlement
(2020-08)Biofouling or the accumulation of unwanted micro and macro organisms is problematic for the shipping industry. Barnacles are one of the most abundant fouling organisms and their settlement on ship hulls can result in costly ... -
Using observations of distant quasars to constrain quantum gravity
(2011-11-23)Aims. The small-scale nature of spacetime can be tested with observations of distant quasars. We comment on a recent paper by Tamburini et al. (2011, A&A, 533, A71) which claims that Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations ... -
Using Variations of Shape and Appearance in Alignment Methods for Classifying Human Actions
(2014-11)In this dissertation, we address the problem of recognizing human-action from videos. The recognition aims at recovering action information from the image sequences using different features such as variations of the human ... -
