Beacon Aided Robotics for Martian Cave Mapping
(2020-08)At present, lava tubes on the Moon and Mars have been left wholly unexplored. There are many aspects of subterranean exploration that pose additional challenges over surface exploration, and one of these issues is in ... -
Benthic Foraminiferal Distributions in a Shallow Subtropical Estuary and the Influence of Environmental Factors
(2016-12)Benthic foraminiferal communities are potentially useful tools for assessing and monitoring estuarine ecosystems and as bioindicators of water quality and pollution. To evaluate this indicator for the Indian River Lagoon ... -
A Bio-inspired Classification System for Cyber-Physical-Human Identity Resolution
(2020-05)The Internet has created a need for understanding complex technology and identities today. Cybercrime can take years to solve, and a systematic design may aid in more rapid resolution. Classification of identities involves ... -
Bioprinting of 3D Perfusable Structures Using an Extrusion-Based System
(2019-06-14)Bioprinting is a technique of creating 3D cell laden structures by accurately dispensing biomaterial to form complex synthetic tissue. Bioprinting is a process of additive manufacturing where the cell functionality and ... -
A Blockchain Approach for Negotiating Trust in IoT
(2020-05)“The internet is no longer a web that we connect to. Instead, its a computerized, networked, and interconnected world that we live in. This is the future, and what were calling the Internet of Things.”- Bruce Schneier, ... -
Blockchain For Educational Certificate Distribution
