Data structures and algorithms are important foundation topics in computer science education. However, they are often complex and hard to understand. As a result, educational tools, such as algorithm visualization systems, ...

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers urban stormwater runoff as the only major growing source of water pollution across many parts of the United States today. The need for investments in stormwater ...

Nearly all cellular processes involve proteins structurally rearranging to accommodate molecular partners. The energy landscape underscores the inherent nature of proteins as dynamic molecules interconverting between ...

When geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) are placed in the subsoil to be used as hydraulic barriers in waste containment facilities such as landfills, the in-field hydration driven by differences in suction is an important ...

Spam, phishing, and fraud detection are security applications that impact most people. Challenges for building spam, phishing, and fraud detection models include difficulty in obtaining annotated data, increased computational ...

One of the major reason for chip failures is on chip variability. In order to prevent failures due to on chip variability, the variability need to be margined in physical design by providing voltage guard band. One of the ...

Stroke is the third leading cause of death in USA and second leading cause worldwide. Current diagnosis of stroke involves ultrasound duplex Doppler examination of the carotid arteries, which gives information on the ...

Cognitive radio is a novel approach for better utilization of the scarce, already packed but highly underutilized radio spectrum. To this end, environment-aware unlicensed secondary wireless devices are envisioned to ...

This thesis presents a study on structural modeling of reinforced concrete (RC) columns subjected to underwater explosions (UNDEX). With the heightened tensions stemming from warfare as well as accidents such as gas ...

The covariance matrix for a sensor array observing a stationary space-time process is determined by the individual sensor element locations, the directional response and noise of those elements, and the spatial spectrum ...
