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 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 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 ... -
Value Based Methodology to Evaluate Sensors for Bridge Structural Health Monitoring Systems
(2016-08-24)Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems have become important tools in the transportation industry to help monitor the behavior and health of civil structures. Today, there is a real concern about the health of bridges ... -
VISION-BASED NAVIGATION FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC FORMATION FLIGHT
(2018-12)The concept of using Satellite Formation Flight (SFF) reveals various benefits for a space mission. However, relying on a consumable actuation system to maintain a desired relative position and orientation between flying ... -
Vulnerability Model of Residential Structures Subject to Hurricane Induced Wind, Surge and Inundation
(2017-09)Annualized hurricane-related losses to the built environment in the United States are in the billions of dollars. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, in 2010 39% of the United States population, ... -
Wind-Driven Setup, Roughness, and Drag over a Depth- and Fetch-Limited Coastal Estuary
(2018-12)The understanding of the momentum exchange across the air-sea interface is critical to accurately model and forecast wind speed, wave properties, setup, and circulation. This is particularly true for a restricted estuary, ... -
X-rays from Magnetic B-type Stars
(2018-07)Recent surveys have found that ∼10% of massive stars host strong, mostly dipolar magnetic fields with strengths on the order of a kilogauss. The prominent idea describing the interaction between the stellar winds and the ...
