(2017-12)Arachidonic acid (AA, 4, Figure 1) is a 20:4 (ω-6) fatty acid with a 20-carbon chain and four cis-double bonds, and the esterified form of AA in phospholipids can be enzymatically liberated by phospholipases (PL) and ... -
A Robot Platform for Intelligent Ground Vehicle Research
(2016-11)This thesis presents a mobile platform developed for further research on the Intellegent Ground Vehicle project which began as a capstone project but without achieving full autonomy. The scope of the current project is ... -
Acceleration, Braking, and Steering Controller for Polaris GEM e2
(2019-05)This paper discusses the design and simulation of lane keeping and velocity controllers for a Polaris GEM e2. The controllers were designed to be implemented in Florida Institute of Technology’s entry for the Intelligent ... -
Advanced Astroinformatics for Variable Star Classification
(2019-04)This project outlines the complete development of a variable star classification algorithm methodology. With the advent of Big-Data in astronomy, professional astronomers are left with the problem of how to manage large ... -
An Advanced context aware operator support system (CAOSS) for chemical plant operation
(2018-05)Analyzing potential causes for recent industrial accidents and production losses highlights that the majority of these incidents are due to human factor failure: operator error, poor decision-making and violations ... -
Advancing Numerical Calculation of Mixed Sized Sediment Transport and Morphology Change
(2019-07)Numerical modeling of sediment transport and morphologic change has become a powerful tool for studying and working in the coastal zone. Numerical calculation can assist in a broad range of projects from regional sediment ... -
Aerodynamic Model of the Piper Warrior II Based on Flight Test Data
(2018-12)Aerodynamic modeling is an important part of aircraft design and of aircraft testing. Generally, this is done through CFD models and Wind Tunnel tests prior to the aircrafts first flight but building the models using ... -
AES Encryption Algorithm using ARM TrustZone Technology
(2016-11)With the huge impact of IoT devices, the security needs are becoming more important than what it had before. Since embedded systems have limited resources, the traditional security solutions are not quite fitting to IoTs ... -
AGE AND GROWTH OF BONEFISH, ALBULA SPECIES AMONG CUBAN HABITATS
(2017-11)Bonefish (Albula spp.) are a prized sportfish among avid anglers worldwide. Two morphologically indistinguishable species of bonefish (Albula vulpes and Albula goreensis) exist in the circumtropical waters of the ... -
Airport Taxiway Traversal and Safety Optimization using Combinatorics
(2019-05)The demand for air travel has increased dramatically in the last decade, putting large strain on airports and their limited resources. Expanding the available resources at an airport is not always an option either due to ... -
Analysis and Classification of 3-D Printed Collagen-Bioglass Matrices for Cellular Growth Utilizing Artificial Neural Networks
(2018-12)Introduction: Recent advances have shown the influence of biomimetic design on modulation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and the role stiffness of it plays in cellular behavior. 2-D models for cellular growth poorly ... -
ANALYSIS OF A FUNCTIONAL HETEROLOGOUS CHROMOSOMAL REPLICATION ORIGIN TRANSPLANT IN E. coli
(2018-04)To ensure that all cells replicate their genomes faithfully before they divide, the initiation step of chromosome replication must be tightly regulated during the cell cycle. In bacteria, new rounds of replication are ... -
Analysis of Angular Momentum in Planetary Systems and Host Stars
(2015-07)The spin angular momentum of single Main Sequence stars has long been shown to follow a primary power law of stellar mass, J ∝ Mα, excluding stars of <2 solar masses. Lower mass stars rotate more slowly with and have ... -
An Analysis of Capital Cost Estimation Techniques for Chemical Processing
(2016-05)This research serves to compare the use of the capital cost estimation software, Aspen Capital Cost Estimator (ACCE), with other capital cost estimating methods specifically the module costing technique outlined by Richard ... -
