    • The Guilt of the Symbol: Who Learns What in a Didactic Trial? 
      Kilpatrick, Sarah
      This goal of this thesis is to present a correlation between the didactic war trials of two men following the demise of Nazi Germany, and the ability of society to meet a prescribed list of learning outcomes for the trials. ...
    • Guns and Grades 
      Bornman, Katherine Christophers
      Laws protecting the right to carry a concealed handgun on college campuses have been passed in eleven states to date, March 25, 2017, and additional states are considering similar legislation. A primary intent of these ...
    • Habitat-Lab Quadruped Embodied AI Research 
      Steinhauser, Scott
      With the rise of reinforcement learning, a number of physics engines and frameworks have been used to simulate virtual environments. Additionally, various benchmarks have been popularized in order to assess the ability of ...
    • Hacking the Brain: Opportunities in Soft Wireless Bioelectronics 
      Wilcox, Stephanie A (2018-04-24)
      Traditional techniques used to determine neuron activity in cognitive function, such as penetrating or surface-mounted electrodes, severely limit the comprehensive study of the brain. Such methods confound thermal effects, ...
    • Hand Detection and Body Language Recognition Using YOLO 
      Ananthanarayan, Aashish
      Neural Networks play an important role in real-time object detection. Several types of networks are being developed in order to perform such detections at a faster pace. One such neural network that can prove useful is the ...
    • Hand Held Neutron Detector Development for Physics and Security Applications 
      Baker, William; Campbell, Caitlin E (2013-10-04)
      The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) uses silicon and germanium detectors in the search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMP), a candidate for dark matter. Although these detectors are heavily protected with ...
    • Haptic Interactive Deformable Models 
      Riyaj Ahamed, Shafeeq I (2015-10-06)
      Haptic devices are devices that emulate the sense of touch through a force feedback mechanism that enables users to physically interact with virtual objects. This supplementary element of interaction allows users to ...
    • HapticDive: An Intuitive Warning System for Underwater Users 
      Santani, Sneha; Escalante-Trevino, Leslie
      All divers—regardless of skill or activity—are constantly at risk of decompression sickness; mild symptoms can often go ignored, and can also be deadly if left untreated. Currently, divers receive training and carry a dive ...
    • HaptiGo Tactile Navigation System 
      Regmi, Sarin (2012-04-22)
      Tactile navigation systems employ the use of ones sense of touch with haptic feedback to communicate directions. This type of navigation presents a potentially faster and more accurate mode of navigation than preexisting ...
    • Harnessing Certainty to Speed Task-Allocation Algorithms for Multi-Robot Systems 
      Irvin, Denise A
      Some problems are best solved by systems of multiple robots, in which each robot is assigned one task. A multi-robot system can, upon the start of a series of tasks, compute the optimal task allocation for best performance ...
    • Harvest and Isolate Skeletal Muscle Satellite Cells from Mice 
      Nguyen, Branden
      Skeletal muscle tissue exhibits many plastic properties, changing its size or function in response to a variety of stressors. This adaptability is due, in part, to satellite cells, a type of multipotent adult stem cell ...
    • Harvesting Ultra-Low Power Wireless Signals in the GHz Range 
      Galloway, Ethan; Rizzi, Giuseppe
      We present methods for harvesting wireless energy as low as -30 dBm (1uW) from the 2.4 GHz frequency range (e.g. WiFi signals) with discrete components. We have constructed a proof-of-concept device which is capable of ...
