A Game Theory Motivated Approach to Analyzing Modularity in Automotive Systems
(2019-05)This paper examines the effect of integrated and modular design on consumers and manufacturers and seeks to determine if there is an optimal design that benefits both. Some consumers perceive the automotive industry to ... -
GAMMATONE AND MFCC FEATURES IN SPEAKER RECOGNITION
(2014-11)The feature analysis component of an Automated Speaker Recognition (ASR) system plays a crucial role in the overall performance of the system. There are many feature extraction techniques available, but ultimately we ... -
GBANN-V: Genetically Based Artificial Neural Network With Validation for Optimal Feature Selection and Data Mining
(2016-12)In data mining and machine learning systems, highly predictive feature attributes help researchers and data analysts classify the problem space in the most optimal way. In this thesis paper, a feature subset selection ... -
Gene Expression Studies for Analyzing Effects of Space Radiation in Tissues
(2019-07)Human exploration beyond the earth's orbit poses many risks for the crew on these missions. One of the major health risks is exposure to space radiation environment beyond the earth’s magnetic field. The space environment ... -
Generalized Random Measures on Topological Spaces
(2019-05)Our work deals with classes of random measures on σ-compact Hausdorff spaces perturbed by stochastic processes. We render a rigorous construction of the stochastic integral of functions of two variables and show that ... -
Geo-locating UEs Using Multi-output Decision Tree Regressor
(2019-05)Mobile communication networks constantly need to monitor and improve the quality of service and network coverage to their users, and to do so, radio measurements are required. One common method for gathering these ... -
Geological Conditions Required for the Fluvial Erosion of Titan’s Impact Craters
(2016-05)In comparison to other icy satellites, Titan has a small number of impact craters on its surface. Its dense atmosphere screens smaller impactors from the surface, but this alone does not account for the lack of impact ... -
GEOMETRY DRIVEN PROBABILISTIC MODELS FOR SHAPE MATCHING, CLASSIFICATION AND RETRIEVAL
(2017-07)Emulating human vision in a computational framework—known as computer vision—is one of the next major research areas being pursued; this emulation of vision can be viewed from a Systems Engineering perspective. The goal ... -
Google Speech Recognition using Embedded System
(2016-04)This thesis will describe the theoretical background and implementation details of Google Speech Recognition using embedded system. AM37x Evaluation Board developed by Texas Instrument is used as a test bed. All major ... -
The Growth, Structure, and Dynamics of Crime in Cities
(2017-12)Crime is ubiquitous in cities but lacks a statistical characterization that could lead to uncovering its underlying mechanisms. Cities are, however, in a constant process of organization making difficult to analyze urban ... -
Hardware-In-The-Loop Testbed for the Dynamics of Spacecraft Rendezvous and Capture
(2019-05)As more satellites are launched into orbit, the amount of space debris objects and defunct satellites in orbit that pose a risk to existing operational space systems is expected to grow. In addition, the risk of collision ... -
Helping College Students to Manage Stress: A Human Centered Smartphone Application for Stress Relief
(2018-05)This dissertation represents a Human Centered Design research to evaluate the perception and handling of stress. To successfully evaluate this research, an iOS smartphone application was developed. This research includes ... -
A Heuristic Method for the Determination of Assembly Network and Line Design for Discrete Manufacturing Processes
(2017-12)This paper presents with a proposed alternative precedence algorithm which is determined by the Solid surfaces of the product design. The representation address in this paper address the manufacturing planning from all ... -
High Fidelity Adaptive Cyber Emulation
(2017-05)While looking for a high-level adaptive traffic generation tool, we came to realize that no such tool exists that can be used for rapid development while being platform agnostic. Having reviewed a wide array of tools to ... -
High Volume Test Automation With Yeager
(2017-12)High Volume Automated Testing is a powerful family of software testing techniques which enable a variety of testing goals, including the discovery of hard-to-reproduce bugs, which can enable new levels of quality assurance ... -
High-level Multi-objective Model for Microgrid Design
(2016-10)Recently, there is vast inclination toward using renewable energy in rural areas away from the main electricity generation plants. Small airports located in rural areas are good candidates to apply sustainable energy for ... -
Holistic Approach for Characterizing the Performance of Wireless Sensor Networks
