Real Time Motion Control For Natural Human Robot Interaction
(Electrical Engineering, 2014-03-12)
In this thesis, we present the research work performed with various robots including Android PKD, Zeno and the Atlas robot. The main focus of this thesis is to develop algorithms for vision based natural human robot ...
Improving Cooling Efficiency Of Servers By Replacing Smaller Chassis Enclosed Fans With Larger Rack-mount Fans
(Mechanical Engineering, 2014-03-12)
As a common practice in the data center industry, chassis fans are used to direct air flow independent from neighboring servers. However, these fans are less efficient compared to larger rack level counterparts and also ...
An IC design for wireless batteryless multi-sensing platform for biomedical applications
(2014-09-17)
This work proposed an integrated circuit (IC) design that provides the required functionality for a wireless, batteryless implant. For biomedical applications, the physiological signals can be detected if the parameter of ...
Ecological Correlates Associated With The Academic Achievement Of African American Youth
(Social Work, 2014-09-17)
There has long been an achievement gap between African American youth and their European counterparts. This phenomenon has constantly been studied and continues to be a concern in not only the education arena, but also ...
Leachate Recirculation Modeling Using Vertical Wells In Bioreactor Landfills
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-09-17)
Municipal solid waste (MSW) is made up of household and commercial waste. Total MSW generated in USA in 2009 was 243 million tons and 54.3% of this waste generation was landfilled (EPA, 2009). MSW buried in landfills ...
Investigating Student Engagement In Mathematical Conversation: Teacher Questions Eliciting Student Responses
(Education, 2014-07-14)
Mathematics educators advocate that K-12 teachers should create classrooms where students are engaged in conversation about mathematical ideas. However to achieve these goals, it is important that teachers understand how ...
A Refined Approach To Identifying And Quantifying Clay And Non -clay Minerals In Expansive Soils
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-07-14)
Expansive soils exhibit substantial swelling and shrinkage due to moisture fluctuations. Predicting this volume change behavior of expansive soils has been a major challenge to the engineers in the past few years. One of ...
Characterization Of Tantalum Nitride Thin Films By Magnetron Sputtering
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2014-07-14)
Tantalum Nitride is chemically inert, oxidation resistant and hard. TaN finds its application as a protective coating on steel due to their excellent wear properties. It has become a very promising diffusion barrier material ...
A Multimodality DLP® Imaging System For Clinical Surgery
(Biomedical Engineering, 2014-09-17)
With 1.38 million new cases and 450,000 deaths worldwide due to breast cancer, there is a clear need for safe and complete surgical intervention for the treatment of breast cancer. Imaging solutions have been created and ...
Guided-mode Resonance Devices: Omnidirectional Reflectors, Wideband Absorbers, Sensors And Narrowband Filters
(Electrical Engineering, 2014-03-10)
In this thesis, a series of guided-mode resonance (GMR) devices are developed and optimized in the optical spectral region. Some of these devices are designed by inverse algorithms such as genetic algorithm and particle ...
