The Maritime Continent (MC) is the largest archipelago located between the Indian and western Pacific Oceans. The MC is surrounded by warm seas surface temperatures that leads to deep convection, which is also modulated ...

Glint in satellite reflectance images contaminates pixels making it difficult to ascertain what lies beneath the water surface. An algorithm was created to correct glint contaminated pixels using a nearest neighbor non-glint ...

During egg activation in all species, the critical mechanism to restart the zygote metabolism and prevent polyspermy is an intracellular Ca2+ increase. The signaling molecules, including the receptors on the sperm and egg, ...

Whether the Andean ecosystem is resilient against future climate change remains unclear. A 2018 IPCC special report identified that warming more than 1.5ºC above pre-industrial temperatures by the year 2100 would be a major ...

Automated face recognition (AFR) is an important tool used in national security and public safety operations. Numerous cases exist in which AFR was successfully used to search large repositories containing millions of ...

The study of energy consumption in buildings is an important area of research given the large share of building sector in the worldwide energy usage. The energy consumption of buildings has a high impact on carbon emissions, ...

Biomimetic composite scaffolds comprising of bioactive ceramic-based materials incorporated within a polymeric framework have shown considerable promise for use in bone tissue engineering (BTE) applications. Although ...

Researchers at the Florida Institute of Technology (FIT) have developed the wireless sensor network system for the field measurement of hurricane wind and pressure on residential structures. A new version of the system is ...

This thesis integrates fundamental concepts from conventional statistics with the more explanatory, algorithmic, and computational techniques offered by machine learning to predict early mortality risk of surgical patients. ...
