Time Series Anomaly Detection Using Generative Adversarial Networks, Shyam Sundar Saravanan
Time Series Anomaly Detection Using Generative Adversarial Networks, Shyam Sundar Saravanan
Masters Theses
"Anomaly detection is widely used in network intrusion detection, autonomous driving, medical diagnosis, credit card frauds, etc. However, several key challenges remain open, such as lack of ground truth labels, presence of complex temporal patterns, and generalizing over different datasets. In this work, we propose TSI-GAN, an unsupervised anomaly detection model for time-series that can learn complex temporal patterns automatically and generalize well, i.e., no need for choosing dataset-specific parameters, making statistical assumptions about underlying data, or changing model architectures. To achieve these goals, we convert each input time-series into a sequence of 2D images using two encoding techniques with …

Code search is an essential task in software development. Developers often search the internet and other code databases for necessary source code snippets to ease the development efforts. Code search techniques also help learn programming as novice programmers or students can quickly retrieve (hopefully good) examples already used in actual software projects. Given the recurrence of the code search activity in software development, there is an increasing interest in the research community. To improve the code search experience, the research community suggests many code search tools and techniques. These tools and techniques leverage several different ideas and claim a better …

Detection And Diagnosis Of Bacterial Pathogens In Blood Using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy, E J. Blanchette, E A. Tracey, A Baughan, G E. Johnson, H Malik, C N. Alionte, I G. Arthur, M E. Pontoni, Steven Rehse
Physics Publications
The ability to rapidly and accurately detect and identify pathogenic bacteria in clinically-obtained blood specimens with laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is evaluated. Samples of blood obtained from five patients in a local hospital were confirmed to be negative for the presence of bacteria by the pathology department and were then tested with LIBS. Specimens of blood were tested as obtained from the hospital with no other alteration as control samples and were also intentionally spiked with known aliquots of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter cloacae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa to simulate blood infections. LIBS spectra were acquired from blood deposited on …

Detection And Diagnosis Of Bacterial Pathogens In Urine Using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy, E J. Blanchette, E A. Tracey, A Baughan, G E. Johnson, H Malik, C N. Alionte, I G. Arthur, M E. Potoni, Steven Rehse
Physics Publications
The presence of bacterial cells from three species has been detected in clinical specimens of human urine using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) by using a partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) of 360 spectra obtained from 12 specimens of infected urine and 239 spectra obtained from eight specimens of sterile urine. Nominally sterile urine specimens obtained from four patients at a local hospital after being screened negative for the presence of bacterial pathogens were spiked with known aliquots of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Enterobacter cloacae to simulate clinical urinary tract infections. Fifteen emission line intensities measured from the LIBS …
Bicategorical Character Theory, Travis Wheeler
Bicategorical Character Theory, Travis Wheeler
Theses and Dissertations--Mathematics
In 2007, Nora Ganter and Mikhail Kapranov defined the categorical trace, which they used to define the categorical character of a 2-representation. In 2008, Kate Ponto defined a shadow functor for bicategories. With the shadow functor, Dr. Ponto defined the bicategorical trace, which is a generalization of the symmetric monoidal trace for bicategories. How are these two notions of trace related to one another? We’ve used bicategorical traces to define a character theory for 2-representations, and the categorical character is an example.
Adams Operations On The Burnside Ring From Power Operations, Lewis Dominguez
Adams Operations On The Burnside Ring From Power Operations, Lewis Dominguez
Theses and Dissertations--Mathematics
Topology furnishes us with many commutative rings associated to finite groups. These include the complex representation ring, the Burnside ring, and the G-equivariant K-theory of a space. Often, these admit additional structure in the form of natural operations on the ring, such as power operations, symmetric powers, and Adams operations. We will discuss two ways of constructing Adams operations. The goal of this work is to understand these in the case of the Burnside ring.
Nonuniform Sampling-Based Breast Cancer Classification, Santiago Posso
Nonuniform Sampling-Based Breast Cancer Classification, Santiago Posso
Theses and Dissertations--Electrical and Computer Engineering
The emergence of deep learning models and their success in visual object recognition have fueled the medical imaging community's interest in integrating these algorithms to improve medical diagnosis. However, natural images, which have been the main focus of deep learning models and mammograms, exhibit fundamental differences. First, breast tissue abnormalities are often smaller than salient objects in natural images. Second, breast images have significantly higher resolutions but are generally heavily downsampled to fit these images to deep learning models. Models that handle high-resolution mammograms require many exams and complex architectures. Additionally, spatially resizing mammograms leads to losing discriminative details essential …

Theses and Dissertations--Electrical and Computer Engineering
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has experienced remarkable success in recent years, solving complex computational problems across various domains, including computer vision, natural language processing, and pattern recognition. Much of this success can be attributed to the advancements in deep learning algorithms and models, particularly Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). In recent times, deep ANNs have achieved unprecedented levels of accuracy, surpassing human capabilities in some cases. However, these deep ANN models come at a significant computational cost, with billions to trillions of parameters. Recent trends indicate that the number of parameters per ANN model will continue to grow exponentially in the foreseeable …

Reinforcement Learning: Applying Low Discrepancy Action Selection To Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient, Aleksandr Svishchev
Reinforcement Learning: Applying Low Discrepancy Action Selection To Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient, Aleksandr Svishchev
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Reinforcement learning (RL) is a subfield of machine learning concerned with agents learning to behave optimally by interacting with an environment. One of the most important topics in RL is how the agent should explore, that is, how to choose actions in order to rate their impact on long-term reward. For example, a simple baseline strategy might be uniformly random action selection. This thesis investigates the heuristic idea that agents will learn faster if they explore by factoring the environment’s state into their decision and intentionally choose actions which are as different as possible from what they have previously observed. …
Exploring The Consistency Of Flow Regimes Within And Among Ecoregions Of The Southeastern United States, Frank Paul Braun Iv
Exploring The Consistency Of Flow Regimes Within And Among Ecoregions Of The Southeastern United States, Frank Paul Braun Iv
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Human manipulation of river systems has long been a known contributor to the loss of freshwater biodiversity. By accounting for environmental causes of hydrologic variation among rivers, we can better understand how ecoregion mediates flow regimes and forecast species that may be at risk. Presumably, natural variation associated with ecoregion boundaries exerts strong influence on flow regimes, and may mediate relationships between other features (e.g., land use, dam operations) and hydrology. However, such between-ecoregion variation is poorly investigated, particularly at fine spatial and temporal scales. I characterized 10 hydrologic metrics, representing the five key dimensions of the flow regime (magnitude, …

Problems In Chemical Graph Theory Related To The Merrifield-Simmons And Hosoya Topological Indices, William B. O'Reilly
Problems In Chemical Graph Theory Related To The Merrifield-Simmons And Hosoya Topological Indices, William B. O'Reilly
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In some sense, chemical graph theory applies graph theory to various physical sciences. This interdisciplinary field has significant applications to structure property relationships, as well as mathematical modeling. In particular, we focus on two important indices widely used in chemical graph theory, the Merrifield-Simmons index and Hosoya index. The Merrifield-Simmons index and the Hosoya index are two well-known topological indices used in mathematical chemistry for characterizing specific properties of chemical compounds. Substantial research has been done on the two indices in terms of enumerative problems and extremal questions. In this thesis, we survey known extremal results and consider the generalized …

Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Modern developments in materials science have led to the increased demand for the ability to control electromagnetic radiation at scales smaller than ever. One of the most important areas of research for controlling the manipulation of electromagnetic radiation, has been the studying of novel optical metamaterials, including the most general and complex form, bianisotropic metamaterials (BAMs). With modern developments in nano- engineering, paired with the advancement of more robust theoretical studies of BAMs, the demand for more novel BAM technologies has increased. With the advent of research of unbounded BAM media, as well as the recent extensions of Mie theory …
A Comparative Analysis Of A Family Of Advanced Iterative Optimization Methods In Nonlinear Regression, Tanmoy Kumar Debnath
A Comparative Analysis Of A Family Of Advanced Iterative Optimization Methods In Nonlinear Regression, Tanmoy Kumar Debnath
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Classical statistical supervised learning optimization techniques like the Gauss-Newton Iterative Method (GNIM), Weighted Gauss-Newton Iterative Method (WGNIM), Reweighted Gauss-Newton Iterative Method (RGNIM), and Levenberg-Marquart (LM) algorithm extend the nonlinear least squares method. The WGNIM improves model fitting by controlling heteroscedasticity in the linear and nonlinear models. A comparative analysis of the GNIM, WGNIM, RGNIM, and LM methods for fitting nonlinear models is presented. A step-wise diagnosis for structural multicollinearity in the reweighted linearized model is investigated via the Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) to determine variance inflation in the sequence of estimators for the model parameters. Under restricted multicollinearity levels in …
Mathematical Modeling Of Coupled Heat And Mass Transfer In Metal-Hydride Hydrogen Storage Systems, Muhammad Hasnain
Mathematical Modeling Of Coupled Heat And Mass Transfer In Metal-Hydride Hydrogen Storage Systems, Muhammad Hasnain
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
As a promising clean energy carrier hydrogen has recently gained significant interest, but its efficient and safe storage is a major challenge. Compared to the gaseous state and liquid state, metal hydrides (MH) offer a potentially more effective storage approach for hydrogen. However, the main challenge in this approach is the low thermal conductivity of the MH bed that leads to low heat transfer and ultimately to higher charging and discharging times. The purpose of this work is to develop an in-house comprehensive heat and mass transfer model for hydrogen sorption in MH reactors to simulate the dynamic behavior of …

Florida Bay, situated at the southern tip of Everglades National Park and underlain by the Miami Limestone formation, is an ecosystem of global significance. Over the past century, the bay has faced threats such as droughts, seagrass mortality, and hypersalinity. Despite various studies and management efforts, the dynamics of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) in the region remain underexplored. Given that SGD plays a significant role in the chemical dynamics of coastal ecosystems, it warrants thorough investigation. This study aims to characterize the spatial and temporal patterns of SGD in Florida Bay by surveying three basins – Rankin, Whipray, and Rabbit …
Chemoselective Reduction Of Dicarboxylic Acids Via Iridium Catalyzed Hydrosilylation, Linda Lallawmsangi
Chemoselective Reduction Of Dicarboxylic Acids Via Iridium Catalyzed Hydrosilylation, Linda Lallawmsangi
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses
Reduction of esters to aldehydes poses a challenge since the resulting aldehydes are often more reactive than the initial esters toward nucleophilic hydride-reducing agents. Although bulky, more controllable reducing agents such as lithium tri-tert-butoxyaluminum hydride or diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL-H) have been developed, they are hazardous, sensitive to moisture and air, needing strict reaction conditions, and unsuitable with a wide range of functional groups. We present the design of an iridium-catalyzed chemoselective hydrosilylation method for dicarboxylic imides, followed by hydrolysis to eliminate the amide and yield aldehydes. This approach offers versatility in general reduction chemistry, holds promise for application …

Investigating Drought Response And Paleoclimate Potential Of A New Network Of White Oak Chronologies In Western Kentucky, Usa, Audrey J. Heichelbech, Maegen L. Rochner, Megan Gibson
Undergraduate Research Events
In Kentucky, historic and paleo-climate data are limited, and current understanding of long-term climate change in the state relies on instrumental data spanning only 1895-present. Proxy data are necessary to extend the temporal and spatial span of climate information. One potential proxy source for Kentucky is tree ring data, but currently, only four such datasets are publicly available on the International Tree Ring Data Bank (ITRDB). Archaeological and archival timber sources may help to fill in this gap. In the 1940s, Florence Hawley-Ellis, the first woman dendrochronologist, collected samples of white oak (Quercus alba L.) from four counties in western …
Novel Time Projection Chamber Techniques With Applications Towards Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay Searches, Nicholas K. Byrnes
Novel Time Projection Chamber Techniques With Applications Towards Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay Searches, Nicholas K. Byrnes
Physics Dissertations
One of the highest priority endeavors in nuclear and particle physics is the search for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay (0νββ). The observation of 0νββ would prove that the neutrino is a Majorana particle i.e. its own antiparticle, offering a mechanism by which the matter-antimatter asymmetry observed in our universe could be explained. This theoretical decay mechanism is only energetically favored in certain neutron-rich isotopes and, if found, would be the rarest decay process ever observed. To compete with the exceedingly long half-life of 0νββ, all contemporary searches are focused on the following detector performance metrics: Increasing the instrumented isotopic mass …

On Graph Decompositions And Designs: Exploring The Hamilton-Waterloo Problem With A Factor Of 6-Cycles And Projective Planes Of Order 16, Zazil Santizo Huerta
Dissertations, Master's Theses and Master's Reports
This dissertation tackles the challenging graph decomposition problem of finding solutions to the uniform case of the Hamilton-Waterloo Problem (HWP). The HWP seeks decompositions of complete graphs into cycles of specific lengths. Here, we focus on cases with a single factor of 6-cycles. The dissertation then delves into the construction of 1-rotational designs, a concept from finite geometry. It explores the connection between these designs and finite projective planes, which are specific geometric structures. Finally, the dissertation proposes a potential link between these seemingly separate areas. It suggests investigating whether 1-rotational designs might hold the key to solving unsolved instances …

Dirichlet Problems In Perforated Domains, Robert Righi
Dirichlet Problems In Perforated Domains, Robert Righi
Theses and Dissertations--Mathematics
We establish W1,p estimates for solutions uε to the Laplace equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions in a bounded C1 domain Ωε, η perforated by small holes in ℝd. The bounding constants will depend explicitly on epsilon and eta, where epsilon is the order of the minimal distance between holes, and eta denotes the ratio between the size of the holes and epsilon. The proof relies on a large-scale Lp estimate for ∇uε, whose proof is divided into two main parts. First, we show that solutions of an intermediate problem for a …

Theses and Dissertations--Mathematics
We consider the Stokes equations in an unbounded domain $\omega_{\epsilon,\eta}$ perforated by small obstacles, where $\epsilon$ represents the minimal distance between obstacles and $\eta$ is the ratio between the obstacle size and $\epsilon$. We are able to obtain uniform $W^{1,q}$ estimates for solutions to the Stokes equations in such domains with bounding constants depending explicitly on $\epsilon$ and $\eta$.
Computational Methods For Oi-Modules, Michael Morrow
Computational Methods For Oi-Modules, Michael Morrow
Theses and Dissertations--Mathematics
Computational commutative algebra has become an increasingly popular area of research. Central to the theory is the notion of a Gröbner basis, which may be thought of as a nonlinear generalization of Gaussian elimination. In 2019, Nagel and Römer introduced FI- and OI-modules over FI- and OI-algebras, which provide a framework for studying sequences of related modules defined over sequences of related polynomial rings. In particular, they laid the foundations of a theory of Gröbner bases for certain classes of OI-modules. In this dissertation we develop an OI-analog of Buchberger's algorithm in order to compute such Gröbner bases, as well …
