Computer Vision Based Deep Learning Models For Cyber Physical Systems, Muhammad Monjurul Karim

Masters Theses

“Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) are complex systems that integrate physical systems with their counterpart cyber components to form a close loop solution. Due to the ability of deep learning in providing sensor data-based models for analyzing physical systems, it has received increased interest in the CPS community in recent years. However, developing vision data-based deep learning models for CPSs remains critical since the models heavily rely on intensive, tedious efforts of humans to annotate training data. Besides, most of the models have a high tradeoff between quality and computational cost. This research studies deep learning algorithms to achieve affordable and upgradable …


Characterization Of A Plasma Source Simulating Solar Wind Plasma In A Vacuum Chamber, Blake Anthony Folta Jan 2020

Characterization Of A Plasma Source Simulating Solar Wind Plasma In A Vacuum Chamber, Blake Anthony Folta

Masters Theses

"The United States has set an aggressive time line to not only return to the Moon, but also to establish a sustained human presence. In the Apollo missions dust was a significant factor, but the duration of those missions was short so dust and surface charging were problems, but they did not pose an immediate threat. For a long-term mission, these problems instead become incredibly detrimental. Because of this, research needs to be conducted to investigate these phenomena so that mitigation techniques can be developed and tested. To this end, this thesis serves to demonstrate the Gas and Plasma Dynamics …

The Role Of Tectonic Inheritance, Plate-Reorganization, And Magma Flare-Ups In The Evolution Of The Sevier Orogeny, J. Daniel Quick

Masters Theses

"The temporal and spatial distribution of strain associated with the Sevier Orogeny in western North America is significantly different in the southern end of the belt, at the latitude of Las Vegas, than further to the north at the latitude of Salt Lake City. Until this study, reasons for these differences were speculative as a lack of thrust kinematic data in the intervening region hindered along strike correlation across the belt. A crystallization age of 100.18 ± 14 0.04 Ma was determined for zircons extracted from a recently recognized ash fall tuff near the base of the synorogenic Iron Springs …


The Application Of Machine Learning Models In The Concussion Diagnosis Process, Sujit Subhash Jan 2020

The Application Of Machine Learning Models In The Concussion Diagnosis Process, Sujit Subhash

Masters Theses

“Concussions represent a growing health concern and are challenging to diagnose and manage. Roughly four million concussions are diagnosed every year in the United States. Although research into the application of advanced metrics such as neuroimages and blood biomarkers has shown promise, they are yet to be implemented at a clinical level due to cost and reliability concerns. Therefore, concussion diagnosis is still reliant on clinical evaluations of symptoms, balance, and neurocognitive status and function. The lack of a universal threshold on these assessments makes the diagnosis process entirely reliant on a physician’s interpretation of these assessment scores. This study …

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

Neutrosophic theory has representatives on all continents and, therefore, it can be said to be a universal theory. On the other hand, according to the three volumes of “The Encyclopedia of Neutrosophic Researchers” (2016, 2018, 2019), plus numerous others not yet included in Encyclopedia book series, about 1200 researchers from 73 countries have applied both the neutrosophic theory and method. Neutrosophic theory was founded by Professor Florentin Smarandache in 1998; it constitutes further generalization of fuzzy and intuitionistic fuzzy theories. The key distinction between the neutrosophic set/logic and other types of sets/logics lies in the introduction of the degree of …

A Review On Superluminal Physics And Superluminal Communication In Light Of The Neutrosophic Logic Perspective, Victor Christianto, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

In a recent paper, we describe a model of quantum communication based on combining consciousness experiment and entanglement, which can serve as impetus to stop 5G-network-caused diseases. Therefore, in this paper we consider superluminal physics and superluminal communication as a bridge or intermediate way between subluminal physics and action-at-a-distance (AAAD) physics, especially from neutrosophic logic perspective. Although several ways have been proposed to bring such a superluminal communication into reality, such as Telluric wave or Telepathy analog of Horejev and Baburin, here we also review two possibilities: quaternion communication and also quantum communication based on quantum noise. Further research is …


Lattice-Reduction Aided Multiple-Symbol Differential Detection In Two-Way Relay Transmission, Chanfei Wang, Minghua Cao Jan 2020

Lattice-Reduction Aided Multiple-Symbol Differential Detection In Two-Way Relay Transmission, Chanfei Wang, Minghua Cao

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Multiple-symbol differential detection (MSDD) algorithms are proposed in two-way relay transmission (TWRT). Firstly, generalized likelihood ratio test based MSDD (GLRT-MSDD) is proposed in TWRT. Unfortunately, as the number of observation windows increases, the computational complexity of GLRT-MSDD increases exponentially. Hence, this detection in TWRT constitutes a challenging problem. Moreover, we find a way to reformulate the GLRTMSDD model and additionally propose a lattice-reduction aided MSDD (LR-MSDD) model. Performance analysis and simulations show that the proposed LR-MSDD provides bit-error rate performance close to that of GLRT-MSDD with lower complexity in TWRT.

A Fully Batteryless Multiinput Single Inductor Single Output Energy Harvesting Architecture, Ridvan Umaz Jan 2020

A Fully Batteryless Multiinput Single Inductor Single Output Energy Harvesting Architecture, Ridvan Umaz

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Conventional energy architectures that utilize multiple ambient energy sources are initiated either by an external power supply or through the addition of an extra power source (e.g., battery) to the architecture. However, these interventions compromise the goal of a self-sustainable energy harvesting system. Moreover, conventional architectures are not effective in situations where space is limited (e.g., an artificial heart) or when access to this space is difficult (e.g., human implantable devices), due to their large battery size. Thus, conventional energy combiner circuits that use multiple energy sources are not well suited for supplying power to most applications. This paper presents …

An Arbitrary Waveform Magnetic Nanoparticle Relaxometer With An Asymmetricalthree-Section Gradiometric Receive Coil, Can Bariş Top

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have a wide range of clinical applications for imaging, therapy, and biosensing. Superparamagnetic MNPs can be directly visualized with high spatiotemporal resolution using the magnetic particle imaging (MPI) modality. The image resolution of MPI depends on the relaxation properties of the MNPs. Therefore, characterization of MNP response under alternating magnetic field excitation is necessary to predict MPI imaging performance and develop optimized MNPs. Biosensing applications also make use of the change in the relaxation response of MNPs after binding to a target agent. As MNP relaxation properties change with temperature and viscosity, noninvasive probing of these microenvironmental …

Spatiotemporal features have significant importance in human action recognition, as they provide the actor's shape and motion characteristics specific to each action class. This paper presents a new deep spatiotemporal human action representation, the deep temporal motion descriptor (DTMD), which shares the attributes of holistic and deep learned features. To generate the DTMD descriptor, the actor?s silhouettes are gathered into single motion templates by applying motion history images. These motion templates capture the spatiotemporal movements of the actor and compactly represent the human actions using a single 2D template. Then deep convolutional neural networks are used to compute discriminative deep …

This direct approach is novel in the sense that most of the fabricationoriented surface tiling methods introduce additional primitives, such as curve networks in an interactive semiautomatic framework. Our method is based on a remeshing procedure that converts a given quad mesh with arbitrary topology into our desired structure that is ready to be fabricated. The main advantages of establishing auxetic patterns on meshes are the achieved flexibility using cheap inflexible materials as well as less material usage …
