      Vernon, Joshua A. (2009-06-09)
      This project explores the grain growth characteristics and grain morphology of bulk niobium (Nb) processed by severe plastic deformation (SPD). This report deals with factors affecting grain growth and recrystallization: ...
    • Grain-size distributions of tsunami sediments 
      Spencer, Sarah (2011-08-08)
      Tsunami deposits indicate that suspended load transport is the main mechanism of movement throughout a tsunami event. Recent studies have touched on whether bed load transport is also occurring, but not seen in deposits ...
    • Graph Neural Networks for Computational Chemistry 
      Oztekin, Bora M
      Graph Neural Networks are behind many pharmacological breakthroughs due to their innate ability to learn structural properties of molecules and accelerate high-throughput screening for favorable characteristics that could ...
    • GraphBLAS: Solving Graph Algorithms with Linear Algebra 
      Maldonado Guzman, Julio Cesar
      GraphBLAS is a C library written by Dr. Davis that allows users to easily represent graphs as sparse matrices. GraphBLAS also allows linear algebra operations on its graphs, so that users can develop graph algorithms in ...
    • A Graphical Analysis of the Kalman Filter 
      Remley, Conrad Jay (1982)
      Research has been generated by the desire to make the Global Positioning System (GPS), a highly accurate navigation system using satellites, accessible to the civilian user at reasonable cost. Research up to this point has ...
    • A Graphical User Interface for Composing Parallel Computation in the STAPL Skeleton Library 
      Malkey, Abby M (2015-09-17)
      Parallel programming is a quickly growing field in computer science. It involves splitting the computation among multiple processors to decrease the run time of programs. The computations assigned to a processor can depend ...
