GPS navigation systems and applications have transformed the way drivers get to their destination. With the guidance of a computer-generated voice, users can receive turn-by-turn directions without the dangerous distraction ...
-
(2014-01-22)Arctic rivers are the dominant pathways for the transport of terrestrial dissolved organic carbon to the Arctic Ocean, but knowledge of sources, transformations and transfer of organic carbon and nitrogen in Arctic river ...
-
(2013-03-24)Microencapsulation of cells is a technique in which cells are enclosed in microscopic spheroids of a desired substance, with applications in many fields, such as biomedical engineering. In this study, a microfluidic approach ...
-
(2015-09-22)Numerical simulation of seismic wave propagation is widely employed to characterize petroleum reservoirs and complex geological structures. Conventional numerical wave equation simulation methods can become prohibitively ...
-
(2021-05-04)Gravimetry, the measurement of slight variations in gravitational acceleration, can be used to infer density distributions and structures in the crust of a planetary body. The vast majority of studies on bodies other than ...
-
Currently, research is being conducted on single tone sound transduction within the auditory portion of the inner ear, the cochlea [1]. The study of cochlear mechanics in large rodents has provided important insight into ...
-
(2014-10-06)Estimating the post mortem interval of human remains is extremely important in death scene investigations. Currently, the rate of decomposition is gaged by a number of techniques, such as insect development, a function in ...
-
(2011-04-27)Recently, researchers have investigated the implementation of accurate high order time discretization techniques in large-scale nonlinear multiphysics simulations using Implicit Runge-Kutta (IRK) methods. For a given time ...
-
Infrastructure degradation is becoming a wide-reaching problem in the United States, and there is a need to determine ways to intelligently distribute taxpayer money when addressing the issues. This paper investigates the ...
-
(2020-05-22)Over the past few years, students have become increasingly unmotivated to read their assigned textbooks as an accompaniment to classroom lectures and activities. Reading the textbook is known to improve comprehension and ...
-
(2013-10-07)In this research thesis, we implement Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques and polynomial-chaos expansion based techniques for states and parameters estimation in hidden Markov models (HMM). Our goal is to estimate the ...
