Ever since the tragic events of the 9/11 attacks in New York, global infrastructures
have suffered significant damage caused by acts of terrorism, military strikes, and
accidental explosions. Coastal regions and critical ...
Sonomyography is an emerging technique that uses ultrasound to detect muscle
deformation and is being explored as a real-time alternative to surface electromyography
for deriving control signals from functional activity. ...
There are many marine applications for 3D reconstruction ranging from the analysis of coastal erosion and bathymetric mapping using LiDAR to assisting in the structural health assessment of ships using photogrammetrically ...
This research examines the differences in the way large and small organizations approach
software development to better understanding if small organizations should attempt
to model large organizations’ practices. Practices ...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has recently surged in the last few years, facilitating revolutionary
state-of-the-art solutions in healthcare, banking, data & business analytics, transportation,
retail, and much more. The ...
Shaders are useful in real time graphics and high performance computing applications
as they specify computation to be run in parallel on the GPU. In the community, these
shaders are often described in mathematical syntax ...
Virtual Reality (VR) game development techniques are relatively new in relation to conventional
2-dimensional (2D) content. Although there has been significant research conducted in this new
field, more work is still ...
When geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) are placed in the subsoil to be used as hydraulic barriers in waste containment facilities such as landfills, the in-field hydration driven by differences in suction is an important ...
Critical infrastructures systems are governed by several sectors working together to maintain social,
economic, and environmental well-being. Their cyber-physical interdependencies, on the other hand,
influence their ...
Internet of Things (IoT) wireless network is expected to connect billions of IoT
devices in the next period of modern technologies. This is because IoT applications have
more and more applicability in various fields, ...
This paper revisits a longstanding problem of interest concerning the distributed control
of an epidemic process on human contact networks. Due to the stochastic nature and
combinatorial complexity of the problem, Finding ...
Visualization of the ocular motor system is an innovative technique to examine the underlying causes of different ocular disorders. Creating three-dimensional (3D) ocular models, including the extraocular muscles and other ...
Currently, the process of deploying machine learning models in production can leak
information about the model such as model parameters. This leakage of information is
problematic because it opens the door to a plethora ...
This thesis explores the use of pseudo-random frequency hopping for added security in
the 5G New Radio specification. Frequency hopping makes it more difficult for an attacker
to intercept, detect, or jam a wireless ...
Adaptive beamformers (ABFs) use a spatial sample covariance matrix (SCM) that is estimated from data snapshots, i.e., temporal samples from each sensor, to mitigate directional interference and attenuate uncorrelated noise. ...
With the increasing amount of mobile data and the demand for high data rates, current 2.4GHz/5GHz wireless local area networks (WLANs) are facing the problem of limited capacity. Millimeter-wave (mmWave) networks with ...
Urban floods generated by heavy and short-duration rainfall are a major concern in urban areas due to their potential socioeconomic impacts and threat to life. Moreover, such threats are expected to continue with increasing ...
Engineers implement structural health monitoring and nondestructive evaluation techniques to effectively assess the status and safety of civil infrastructure. In addition to the financial cost, the logistical burden involved ...
The construction industry has consistently held one of the highest injury rates among all sectors and failure to recognize hazards due to poor selective attention, cognitive overload, and distractibility have been identified ...
Cyber-physical systems fueled by NextG are rapidly adopted to sense, compute, control, and network the underlying physical system. However, components in different domains have different processing, network bandwidth, ...
