Realtime Physically Plausible Global Illumination Using Scalable Spherical Harmonics Hierarchies
Global illumination that is based on physically based reflectance models using unbiased statistical path tracing methods remains the best way to simulate a realistic image, but only a few types of simple scenes can be ... -
GAUSSIAN PROCESS REGRESSION APPLIED TO TWINNING ENERGIES OF MAGNESIUM
Magnesium is one of the structural materials that has a high strength to density ratio. One common problem magnesium alloys exhibit is low ductility. The underlying reason for low ductility in most magnesium alloys is that ... -
Authentication of legitimate users of smartphones based on app usage sequences
Nowadays, it is hard to understand society without smartphones. People may own one or even more of these devices and use them regularly. Consequently, such a trend brings up many security issues, initial authentication ... -
Wireless Approach for Determining Stress and Temperature in Lithium Batteries With SAW Sensors
A wireless approach for the purpose of stress and temperature measurement in Lithium Batteries has been proposed in this thesis using Surface Acoustic Wave Sensors. Initially, the charging and discharging behavior of the ... -
Modeling Grain Boundary anisotropy-driven Microstructural Evolution with Arbitrary Grain Orientation and adaptive mesh refinement
The development of new technology requires new materials with designed properties for high performance applications. This next generation of materials must be lighter, stronger and with the rest of their properties well ... -
Elements of a Quantum Virtual Machine and GPU Implementation of Black-Sholes Equation
The Quantum Virtual Machine is a wavefunction simulation of unitary evolution with classical control flow and shared quantum classical memory. The quantum gate can perform all necessary basic operations of the quantum ... -
A Machine Learning Model for Elite Athletes
Abstract In this research we have used different machine learning algorithms to predict the performance of the elite athletes riding bicycles. The study of measuring the performance of the athletes is based on different ... -
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Severity Prediction on Web-based Trauma Recovery Treatments Through Electrodermal Activity Measurements
Recent studies have shown evidences regarding trauma recovery through web-based interventions. Currently, a widespread protocol is to assess trauma severity by answering the PTSD Checklist (PCL) questionnaire, which requires ... -
ENHANCED PHYSICS-BASED REDUCED-ORDER MODEL OF NON-FARADAIC ELECTRICAL DOUBLE-LAYER CAPACITOR DYNAMICS
This thesis builds upon the work of Dr. Al Mundy and furthers the development of physicsbased reduced-order models of electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), by extending the operating range over which the models are ... -
Finite Blocklength Secrecy Coding
Coding for physical layer security is typically evaluated as blocklengths approach infinity using information theoretic measures. This thesis presents techniques to quantify secrecy guarantees of finite blocklength wiretap ... -
Towards Automating Big Texts Security Classification
The U.S Government has been the target of cyber-attacks from all over the world. Former President Obama accused the Russian government of leaking emails to WikiLeaks and declared that the U.S. might be forced to respond. ... -
CAPITALIZING ON THE SECURITY POTENTIAL OF SOFTWARE DEFINED NETWORKING BY PROVIDING A NETWORK CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENT
The unauthorized access or theft of sensitive, personal information is becoming a weekly news item. The illegal dissemination of proprietary information to media outlets or competitors costs industry untold millions in ... -
Hybrid Cloud Federated Identity Architecture Supporting Mission Critical First Responders
Disaster response operations continue to suffer from poor information sharing across the responding organizations. This recurring trend results in degraded operations and potential loss of life and property. Emerging ... -
MODEL PREDICTIVE CONTROL IMPLEMENTATIONS FOR MANAGEMENT OF LITHIUM-ION BATTERY CELLS AND PACKS USING REDUCED-ORDER ELECTROCHEMICAL MODELS
This dissertation presents a novel application of model predictive control (MPC) and ex- tended Kalman filter (EKF) to the problem of managing lithium-ion cell performance us- ing reduced-order physics-based electrochemical ... -
SECURE, FAST, AND EFFICIENT HANDOFF PROTOCOLS FOR WIRELESS MESH NETWORKS
In 2011, the IEEE 802.11s for wireless mesh networks (WMN) was introduced to provide the specifications and necessary changes to the MAC layer protocols which extend the network capabilities in establishing multi-hop and ... -
EVALUATING SHORT-WAVE INFRARED IMAGES ON A CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK
Machine learning algorithms, both neural networks and non neural networks, have been tested against RGB facial images for years. Their success is dependent on clearly distinguishable cropped faces. Poor lighting and distance ... -
PRELIMINARY EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS FOR CHARGE DRAG IN A SIMULATED LOW EARTH ORBIT ENVIRONMENT
Interest in the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) environment is growing in the science community as well as in the private sector. The number of spacecraft launched in these altitudes (150 – 700 km) keeps growing, and this region is ... -
Characterization and Comparison of Lithium Niobate and Quartz Surface Acoustic Wave Devices
Sensors became the very important part of our technological life now a day. Its accuracy and reliability became the matter of success or failure, death or life. That’s why we all are trying to make these sensors as accurate ... -
