Sparse Representation and Learning for Discriminative EEG Source Imaging
(2018-05-07)
As a direct measurement modality of neural electrical firing patterns, electroencephalogram (EEG) has a much higher temporal resolution up to millisecond compared to positron emission topography (PET) and functional magnetic ...
Electrical Resistivity Imaging for Identifying Critical Sulfate Concentration Zones Along Highways
(SAGE, 2023-05-15)
Assessing sulfate concentration levels and their distributions within road alignments is crucial for the design of highway projects. Sulfate minerals in soils react with calcium-based additives, leading to sulfate-induced ...
POLICY ENTREPRENEURS, NARRATIVES, AND POLICY CHANGE
(2017-08-21)
The goal of this dissertation is to uncover how policy entrepreneurs use narratives to influence policy change. Prior studies have attributed scientific evidence to policy change and neglected narratives as an attributing ...
NANOSILICA BASED 3D PRINTED SCAFFOLD FACILITATE OSTEOBLAST MINERAL FORMATION
(2017-08-24)
Bone has the ability to heal fractures so long as the size of the fracture is sufficiently small. If the defect is large or of critical size, a filling material or graft will be needed to help bone union. Among all the ...
AG NANO-DENDRITIC THREE-DIMENSIONAL (3D) SURFACE-ENHANCED RAMAN SCATTERING (SERS) SUBSTRATE FOR IN-SITU LIQUID MEDIA DETECTION
(2017-08-30)
Continuous monitoring of certain environmental pollutants, biological species, chemical species, and explosives are of utmost importance in recent times. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) provides most promising ...
Simple Weight Modules of the Lie Algebra of Vector Fields of C2
(2017-08-14)
Classification of the weight modules of the Lie algebra Wn of vector fields on C n has been a long-standing problem in the area of representation theory. In this thesis, a classification of all simple weight modules of W2 ...
Essays on Donation and Helping Behavior
(2017-08-10)
In 2015, individual donations were at a $264.58 billion high, accounting for about 72% of overall donations. The proportion of individual donations coming from crowdfunding has had a steep, increasing pattern. In 2015, for ...
PERSON IDENTIFICATION AND ANOMALY DETECTION USING GAIT PARAMETERS EXTRACTED FROM TIME SERIES DATA
(2017-05-31)
Gait generally refers to the style of walk and is influenced by a number of parameters and conditions. In particular, chronic and temporary health conditions often influence gait patterns. As such conditions increase with ...
Neural Image and Video Understanding
(2017-08-25)
Even though recent works on neural architectures have shown promising results at tasks like image recognition, object detection, playing Atari games, etc., learning a mapping from a visual space to a language space or vice ...
MATHEMATICAL METHODS FOR VORTEX IDENTIFICATION WITH APPLICATION ON SHOCK WAVE VORTEX RING INTERACTION
(2017-06-08)
Vortices are seen everywhere in nature, from smoke rings to tornadoes. Vortical structures play an essential role in the turbulence dynamics such as turbulence generation, kinetic energy production and dissipation, enhancement ...
