End-To-End Learning Utilizing Temporal Information For Vision- Based Autonomous Driving, Dapeng Guo
End-To-End Learning Utilizing Temporal Information For Vision- Based Autonomous Driving, Dapeng Guo
Master's Projects
End-to-End learning models trained with conditional imitation learning (CIL) have demonstrated their capabilities in driving autonomously in dynamic environments. The performance of such models however is limited as most of them fail to utilize the temporal information, which resides in a sequence of observations. In this work, we explore the use of temporal information with a recurrent network to improve driving performance. We propose a model that combines a pre-trained, deeper convolutional neural network to better capture image features with a long short-term memory network to better explore temporal information. Experimental results indicate that the proposed model achieves performance gain …

The availability of new radioactive ion beams has broadened the study of nuclear reactions and nuclear structure. The main mechanism to produce the secondary beams is the fragmentation of the projectile. An alternative method for the production of the exotic nuclei is the multinucleon transfer. We measured production cross section for the B, C, N and O isotopes in the reaction18O + Ta and the beam energy at 10 MeV/nucleon. The cross sections were obtained by integrating the momentum distributions of the isotopes. It was shown that in deep inelastic processes the production yields of different isotopes could …

Determination Of The Response Function Of The Nai Detector For Γ-Quanta With An Energy Of 4.43 Mev, Formed During Inelastic Scattering Of Neutrons With An Energy Of 14.1 Mev On Carbon Nuclei, S. B. Dabylova, Yu. N. Kopach, S. K. Sakhiyev, D. N. Grozdanov, N. A. Fedorov
Eurasian Journal of Physics and Functional Materials
The work is devoted to determining the response function of the detector NaI(Tl) for γ-quanta with energy of 4.43 MeV, formed during inelastic scattering of neutrons with energy of 14.1 MeV on the nuclei 12 C. In gamma spectrometry, output pulses are recorded, the amplitudes of which are proportional to the energy lost in the detection medium by incident photons. One of the main tasks of radiation detection is to restore radiation characteristics from signals measured at the outputs of detectors. For this, it is necessary to know, first of all, the general characteristics of detectors as converters of radiation …
Investigation Of The Applicability Of Post-Irradiation Annealing To Reduce The Degree Of Disorder In Aln Ceramic To Proton Irradiation, A. L. Kozlovskiy
Investigation Of The Applicability Of Post-Irradiation Annealing To Reduce The Degree Of Disorder In Aln Ceramic To Proton Irradiation, A. L. Kozlovskiy
Eurasian Journal of Physics and Functional Materials
The work presents study results of the applicability of high-temperature heat treatment (500-700°C) of nitride ceramics irradiated with protons with an energy of 1.5 MeV and a dose of 10 16 cm ��2 . It was found that heat treatment for 60 minutes at a temperature of 700°C allows us to significantly reduce the density of radiation-induced defects and distortions in ceramics structure due to partial annihilation and relaxation of point defects. Dependences of changes in the strength and mechanical characteristics of ceramics on the temperature of post-irradiation annealing are shown. Based on the data obtained, a conclusion was made …
Study Of The Influence Of The Phase Composition And Crystal Structure Of Fexni100-X Nanostructures On The Efficiency Of Using Lithium Ion Batteries As Anode Materials, D. B. Borgekov, N. A. Hlebnikov, D. I. Shlimas, A. L. Kozlovskiy
Study Of The Influence Of The Phase Composition And Crystal Structure Of Fexni100-X Nanostructures On The Efficiency Of Using Lithium Ion Batteries As Anode Materials, D. B. Borgekov, N. A. Hlebnikov, D. I. Shlimas, A. L. Kozlovskiy
Eurasian Journal of Physics and Functional Materials
The results of the efficiency of using Fe x Ni 100��x nanotubes as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries have been obtained. In the course of research, it was found that an increase in the concentration of nickel in the structure to 40 and 60 at.% leads to a sharp increase in the resource number of cycles by more than two times in comparison with iron nanotubes. Such a difference in the resource lifetime is due to the higher stability of Fe x Ni 100��x nanotubes with a nickel concentration of more than 40 at.% to destruction, as well as resistance …

Influence Of Electrolytic-Plasma Hardening Modes On Structure And Hardness Of 0.34cr-1ni-Mo-Fe Steel, B. K. Rakhadilov, Z. A. Satbayeva, R. S. Kozhanova, D. R. Baizhan, M. K. Rakhadilov, G. B. Botabayeva
Eurasian Journal of Physics and Functional Materials
The article presents the results of studying the process of electrolytic-plasma hardening of 0.34Cr-1NiMo- Fe steel by surface hardening, as well as the results of the current-voltage characteristics of the cathodic electrolytic-plasma process depending on the composition of the electrolyte. Temperature-time and special modes of electrolytic-plasma hardening of steel 0.34Cr-1Ni-Mo-Fe were determined. The optimal composition of the electrolyte for electrolytic-plasma hardening has been determined, providing a relatively high heating rate and high hardness of the steel surface. It has been determined that after the electrolytic-plasma hardening, the microhardness of 34KhN1M steel increases 2.9 times due to the formation of fine …
Modeling Intra-Annual Variation In Coral Extension Rate Using Multiproxy Geochemical Records From Pacific Corals, Jessie Mccraw
Modeling Intra-Annual Variation In Coral Extension Rate Using Multiproxy Geochemical Records From Pacific Corals, Jessie Mccraw
Theses - ALL
The relationship between coral growth and environmental parameters is not straightforward, and few studies have explored intra-annual changes in extension rate. Variations in the magnitude and timing of intra-annual extension could be influenced by various environmental parameters such as sea surface temperature (SST), light and nutrient availability, turbidity or salinity stress, as well as by inter-annual climate variations such as the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). In this study we use SST proxy data from Porites spp. corals to model intra-annual growth using an iterative numerical model comparing growth and temperature sine functions to measured Sr/Ca data to find the best …

Gravity Waves, Na Lidar, Yafang Guo, Alan Z. Liu
Publications
Vertical energy transports due to dissipating gravity waves in the mesopause region (85–100 km) are analyzed using over 400 h of observational data obtained from a narrow-band sodium wind-temperature lidar located at Andes Lidar Observatory (ALO), Cerro Pachón (30.25°S, 70.73°W), Chile. Sensible heat flux is directly estimated using measured temperature and vertical wind; energy flux is estimated from the vertical wavenumber and frequency spectra of temperature perturbations; and enthalpy flux is derived based on its relationship with sensible heat and energy fluxes. Sensible heat flux is mostly downward throughout the region. Enthalpy flux exhibits an annual oscillation with maximum downward …
Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning For Walkers, Inhee Park
Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning For Walkers, Inhee Park
Master's Projects
This project was motivated by seeking an AI method towards Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), that is, more similar to learning behavior of human-beings. As of today, Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) is the most closer to the AGI compared to other machine learning methods. To better understand the DRL, we compares and contrasts to other related methods: Deep Learning, Dynamic Programming and Game Theory.
We apply one of state-of-art DRL algorithms, called Proximal Policy Op- timization (PPO) to the robot walkers locomotion, as a simple yet challenging environment, inherently continuous and high-dimensional state/action space.
The end goal of this project is …

As governments and private companies alike race to achieve the vision of a smart city — where artificial intelligence (AI) technology is used to enable self-driving cars, cashier-less shopping experiences and connected home devices from thermostats to robot vacuum cleaners — advancements are being made in both software and hardware to enable increasingly real-time, accurate inference at the edge. One hardware solution adopted for this purpose is the LiDAR sensor, which utilizes infrared lasers to accurately detect and map its surroundings in 3D. On the software side, developers have turned to artificial neural networks to make predictions and recommendations with …
Detecting Deepfakes With Deep Learning, Eric C. Tjon
Detecting Deepfakes With Deep Learning, Eric C. Tjon
Master's Projects
Advances in generative models and manipulation techniques have given rise to digitally altered videos known as deepfakes. These videos are difficult to identify for both humans and machines. Typical detection methods exploit various imperfections in deepfake videos, such as inconsistent posing and visual artifacts. In this paper, we propose a pipeline with two distinct pathways for examining individual frames and video clips. The image pathway contains a novel architecture called Eff-YNet capable of both segmenting and detecting frames from deepfake videos. It consists of a U-Net with a classification branch and an EfficientNet B4 encoder. The video pathway implements a …

Natural And Synthetic Ligand-Binding Induce Different Pilin Assemblies In Vitro And Control P. Aeruginosa Bioactivities In Vivo, And Development Of Bacterial-Motility Enabled Binding Assays, Arizza Chiara Siwa Ibañez
Dissertations - ALL
Proteins found on bacterial cells surfaces are capable of sensing and transducing signals from the environment to elicit a biological response. Fibrous appendages formed by assembly of pilin proteins on P. aeruginosa are surface proteins that are necessary for host colonization, adhesion on abiotic surfaces, controlling motilities, formation of biofilm, horizontal gene transfer and virulence production of the bacterium. Upon contact with stimuli, pili appendages extend and retract on the cell surface, driven by the assembly and disassembly of pili at inner membrane of the bacteria cells. The dynamic response of this protein assembly is likely caused by a conformational …

Faculty Authored Articles
We use Van Allen Probes (Radiation Belt Storm Probes A and B, henceforth RBSP-A and RBSP-B) and GOES-13 and GOES-15 (henceforth G-13 and G-15) multipoint magnetic field, electric field, plasma, and energetic particle observations to study the spatial, temporal, and spectral characteristics of compressional Pc5 pulsations observed during the recovery phase of a strong geomagnetic storm on 1 January 2016. From ∼ 19:00 to 23:02 UT, successive magnetospheric compressions enhanced the peak-to-peak amplitudes of Pc5 waves with 4.5'6.0 mHz frequencies from 0' 2 to 10'15 nT at both RBSP-A and RBSP-B, particularly in the prenoon magnetosphere. Poloidal Pc4 pulsations with …

The SuperCam instrument suite provides the Mars 2020 rover, Perseverance, with a number of versatile remote-sensing techniques that can be used at long distance as well as within the robotic-arm workspace. These include laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), remote time-resolved Raman and luminescence spectroscopies, and visible and infrared (VISIR; separately referred to as VIS and IR) reflectance spectroscopy. A remote micro-imager (RMI) provides high-resolution color context imaging, and a microphone can be used as a stand-alone tool for environmental studies or to determine physical properties of rocks and soils from shock waves of laser-produced plasmas. SuperCam is built in three parts: …

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works
The detection of CF+ in interstellar clouds potentially allows astronomers to infer the elemental fluorine abundance and the ionization fraction in ultraviolet-illuminated molecular gas. Because local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) conditions are hardly fulfilled in the interstellar medium (ISM), the accurate determination of the CF+ abundance requires one to model its non-LTE excitation via both radiative and collisional processes. Here, we report quantum calculations of rate coefficients for the rotational excitation of CF+ in collisions with para- and ortho-H2 (for temperatures up to 150 K). As an application, we present non-LTE excitation models that reveal population inversion …

Understanding ecosystem carbon-cycling responses to atmospheric CO2 enrichment is critical to preserve biodiversity and maintain vital ecosystem services in grasslands impacted by global change. We conducted an 8-y experiment enriching CO2 concentrations from preindustrial to midtwenty-first century levels on grassland plant communities on upland, lowland, and alluvial soils. CO2 enrichment increased the CO2 efflux from soils to atmosphere in amounts depending on whether the dominant limitation was CO2 or feedbacks (net positive or negative) from soil moisture and plant species turnover. These findings highlight how multiple concurrent limitations, not single limitations in sequence, regulate the …

Scalable approaches for uncertainty quantification are necessary for characterizing prediction confidence in large‐scale subsurface flow simulations with uncertain permeability. To this end we explore a multilevel Monte Carlo approach for estimating posterior moments of a particular quantity of interest, where we employ an element‐agglomerated algebraic multigrid (AMG) technique to generate the hierarchy of coarse spaces with guaranteed approximation properties for both the generation of spatially correlated random fields and the forward simulation of Darcy's law to model subsurface flow. In both these components (sampling and forward solves), we exploit solvers that rely on state‐of‐the‐art scalable AMG. To showcase the applicability …
Image Spam Classification With Deep Neural Networks, Ajay Pal Singh, Katerina Potika
Image Spam Classification With Deep Neural Networks, Ajay Pal Singh, Katerina Potika
Faculty Publications, Computer Science
Image classification is a fundamental problem of computer vision and pattern recognition. We focus on images that contain spam. Spam is unwanted bulk content, and image spam is unwanted content embedded inside the images. Image spam potentially creates a threat to the credibility of any email-based communication system. While a lot of machine learning techniques are successful in detecting textual based spam, this is not the case for image spams, which can easily evade these textual-spam detection systems. In our work, we explore and evaluate four deep learning techniques that detect image spams. First, we train deep neural networks using …

School of Earth & Environment Departmental Research
Carbonaceous chondrite meteorites record the earliest stages of Solar System geo-logical activities and provide insight into their parent bodies' histories. Some carbonaceous chondrites are volumetrically dominated by hydrated minerals, providing evidence for low temperature and pressure aqueous alteration1. Others are dominated by anhydrous minerals and textures that indicate high temperature metamorphism in the absence of aqueous fluids1. Evidence of hydrous metamorphism at intermediate pressures and temperatures in carbonaceous chondrite parent bodies has been virtually absent. Here we show that an ungrouped, aqueously altered carbonaceous chondrite fragment (numbered 202) from the Almahata Sitta (AhS) meteorite contains an assemblage of minerals, including …

What Is Nonlocal In Counterfactual Quantum Communication?, Yakir Aharonov, Daniel Rohrlich
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
We revisit the “counterfactual quantum communication” of Salih et al. [1], who claim that an observer “Bob” can send one bit of information to a second observer “Alice” without any physical particle traveling between them. We show that a locally conserved, massless current—specifically, a current of modular angular momentum, Lz mod 2ℏ—carries the one bit of information. We integrate the flux of Lz mod 2ℏ from Bob to Alice and show that it equals one of the two eigenvalues of Lz mod 2ℏ, either 0 or ℏ, thus precisely accounting for the one bit of information he sends her.We previously …

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications and Presentations
We present time-of-arrival (TOA) measurements and timing models of 47 millisecond pulsars observed from 2004 to 2017 at the Arecibo Observatory and the Green Bank Telescope by the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav). The observing cadence was three to four weeks for most pulsars over most of this time span, with weekly observations of six sources. These data were collected for use in low-frequency gravitational wave searches and for other astrophysical purposes. We detail our observational methods and present a set of TOA measurements, based on "narrowband" analysis, in which many TOAs are calculated within narrow radio-frequency …

Findfur: A Tool For Predicting Furin Cleavage Sites Of Viral Envelope Substrates, Christine Gu
Master's Projects
Most biologically active proteins of eukaryotic cells are initially synthesized in the secretory pathway as inactive precursors and require proteolytic processing to become functionally active. This process is performed by a specialized family of endogenous enzymes known as proproteases convertases (PCs). Within this family of proteases, the most notorious and well-research is furin. Found ubiquitously throughout the human body, typical furin substrates are cleaved at sites composed of paired basic amino acids, specifically at the consensus sequence, R-X-[K/R]-R↓. Furin is often exploited by many pathogens, such as enveloped viruses, for proteolytic processing and maturation of their proteins. Glycoproteins of enveloped …

A Water Budget And Solute Flux Budget For Waimea River Watershed, Kauai, Hi, U.S.A., Joseph Harold Tolworthy
Theses and Dissertations
Waimea Canyon is a deep V-shaped canyon on the island of Kauai, Hawaii in which the Waimea River and its tributaries flow. The shape and size of the canyon are noteworthy and unusual compared to its contemporary canyons on the Hawaiian Islands which are usually U-shaped or flat bottomed. This could be because there is significantly more physical erosion in Waimea Canyon compared to others. A water budget was created using ArcGIS Pro and data from the University of Hawaii’s rainfall and evapotranspiration atlases, as well as from the United States Geological Survey’s stream gage data. A mass flux was …
