Calibration of the RapidScat Microwave Brightness Temperature
(2019-05)NASA RapidScat is the first satellite scatterometer that flown in non-Sun-synchronous orbit. Its unique orbit enabled collocated measurements with multiple satellite remote-sensing instruments that usually fly in ... -
The Capacitated Transfer Point Covering Problem (TPCP): Expanding Delivery Network Coverage with Minimal Resources
(2018-05)Retail delivery services have begun using unmanned systems in attempts to reduce the time from a customer’s order to when the product arrives at its intended destination. Utilizing these systems are beneficial to both ... -
Cardiovascular Intelligence: Novel quantitative cardiology, deep learning and machine learning models to predict clinical outcomes
(2021-05)Arterial compliance has been recognized as a critical parameter in governing pulsatile flow dynamics. It has traditionally been assumed constant throughout the cardiac cycle. Its computation has been based either on the ... -
Categorizing “Muck” in the Indian River Lagoon, Florida, Based on Chemical, Physical and Biological Characteristics
(2016-12)During the past six decades, the thickness and areal extent of muck sediments have continually increased in the Indian River Lagoon (IRL), Florida. These sediments are anoxic, store and release nutrients, and destroy ... -
Cathodically Protected Steel Mesh as an Environmentally Friendly Material for Oyster Reef Restoration
(2021-05)Plastic mesh is widely used in oyster reef restoration efforts worldwide, including the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) estuary in Florida. Plastic degrades overtime, releasing microplastics and nanoplastics particles into the ... -
Censoring Private Information from Network Packet Traces
(2019-05)Censoring Mechanism of Network packet traces has been studied in this paper which corresponds to the issue of client information security during network connectivity pinging. Typically when client checks its connectivity ... -
CFD Analysis of Resistance Characteristics of High-Speed Displacement Hull Forms fitted with Hull Vane®
(2017-05)Improving the performance and resistance of a high-speed monohull forms has been of interest to Naval Architects for several decades. A considerable amount of research has been carried out in this area by using stern ... -
CFD Analysis of Resistance for Stepless and Stepped Planing Hulls
(2018-05)It is the endeavour of naval architects to design hull forms with the least amount of power consumption. In this respect, Naval Architects have been obsessed with the design of various hull forms optimized for a particular ... -
CFD Investigation of Resistance of High-Speed Trimaran Hull Forms
(2015-07)Although catamarans continue to increase in size and application with bigger and better designs than the present generation, trimaran and multi-hull forms for high-speed operation are a recent phenomenon due to speed of ... -
Characterization and Modeling of Upward Lightning at the Gaisberg Tower
(2021-07)The majority of cloud-to-ground lightning is downward. Upward lightning rarely occurs; less than 1% of cloud-to-ground lightning is upward. Upward lightning differs from its downward counterpart in how it is initiated. ... -
Characterization of Cataclysmic Variables and White Dwarfs in the Kepler Field
(2015-05)We present long baseline Kepler photometry and ground-based Hale 200" spectroscopy of five known white dwarfs, five newly identified white dwarfs, and a cataclysmic variable, V523 Lyr. Analysis of the photometric and ... -
Characterization of RF Signal Propagation for Wireless Sensor Network Deployed in Mountainous Environment
(2019-05)Wireless sensor network (WSN) nodes, in mountainous forests, report real-time data to base stations concerning events, in which researchers and decision makers are interested in. A thorough research reveals the deficiency of ... -
Characterization of Sinusoidal Vibration Induced Fluid Motion in Spherical Elastomeric Diaphragm Tanks
(2014-07)Elastomeric diaphragm tanks are commonly used in spacecraft applications to incite positive expulsion of hydrazine monopropellant. The diaphragm exhibits low flexural rigidity, causing it to easily fold under its own weight ... -
Characterization of Written Text Using Data and Network Science
(2020-05)The success of humans cannot be attributed to language, but it is certainly true that language and humans are inseparable. Since the first language appeared, we have seen that language continually evolving over space and ... -
Characterizing the Demographic Effects Relative to Race, Gender, and Skin Tone on the Accuracy of Deep Convolutional Neural Network Based Face Recognition Systems
(2021-05)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 ... -
Chemical Forms of Nitrogen in Runoff from Diverse Florida Watersheds
(2016-12)Watershed use along the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) on the central east coast of Florida has changed drastically during the past century, bringing with it declining water quality, eutrophication, hypoxia and fish kills. ... -
