COMPRESSION ARTIFACT REDUCTION IN HEVC USING ADAPTIVE BILATERAL FILTER
(2016-05-10)
The High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) [8] is the latest video standard developed by Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding (JCT-VC), a group of video coding experts from ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group and ISO/IEC ...
CFD Analysis and Design Optimization of Heat Sink for Oil Immersion Cooling
(2016-05-11)
Air cooling is predominant cooling technique employed in most of the data centers. As the demand for High performance computing (HPC) which deploy large concentration of high-end servers (30 kW to 200 kW per rack) is ...
Tensor Products of a Finite-Dimensional Representation and an Infinite-Dimensional Representation
(2016-05-05)
In this project, we explicitly find the decomposition of the tensor product of a Verma module $Z(\lambda)$ and the standard module ${\mathbb C}^n$ of the Lie algebras $\mathfrak{sl}(n)$, $n=2,3$. The result provides an ...
IMPACT OF WEATHER FACTORS ON GO-AROUND OCCURRENCE
(2016-05-10)
A “go-around” occurs when an aircraft, which is on final approach, aborts it landing due to unsatisfactory conditions. Go-arounds have a significant impact on the capacity of the airports and pose a serious concern at large ...
LEADING BY DESIGN: THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE CAREER OF H. ROWLAND JACKSON
(2016-05-10)
The aim of the study is to explore the landscape architecture career of H. Rowland Jackson, a prominent landscape architect practicing in North Texas, to better understand his professional experiences and achievements. ...
Exergy Analysis of a Pulse Detonation Engine Linear Power Generator
(2016-05-11)
The fuel efficiency of a power generator is a key metric for evaluating its performance. The common engineering practice is to determine the thermal efficiency of the system by applying the conservation of energy also known ...
A Game Theoretic Framework for Temporal and Agent Abstractions in Multiagent Learning
(2016-05-10)
A major challenge in the area of multiagent reinforcement learning is addressing the issue of scale as systems get more and more complex. Systems with multiple agents attempting to explore and learn about the world they ...
WHAT WAS THE MOCKINGBIRD’S SONG? REASSESING TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD THROUGH THE LENS OF GO SET A WATCHMAN
(2016-05-11)
The publication of Go Set a Watchman, a companion piece to Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, problematizes many of the accepted readings of the canonical text. This ‘new’ novel is actually the initial manuscript of the ...
The Design and Control of a Battery-Supercapacitor Hybrid Energy Storage Module for Naval Applications
(2016-05-10)
As the Navy transitions to a more electrical fleet, the electrical architectures must adapt to the changing load profiles. With the introduction of electrical propulsion and new types of electrical energy based weapons, ...
AN ASSESSMENT OF THE USE HAND, DIGITAL AND HYBRID GRAPHICS IN CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE PRACTICE
(2016-05-10)
Visual representation is a critical component of professional landscape architecture practice. The tools that are used for visual representation production are hand, digital and hybrid graphics. This thesis evaluates the ...
