Cross-modal soundscape mapping
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-12)We cannot `measure' the soundscape any more than we can `measure' the ocean, the city, or the wilderness. Being comprised of myriad complex elements, conditions and relationships between sound sources and sound perceivers, ... -
Crossflow filtration of natural organic matter (NOM), polysaccharides and silica colloids : transport, fouling and mixture effects
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2007-12) -
Crossflow membrane filtration of biological suspensions for protein recovery
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-05) -
Crossmodal equivalences : multisensory composition and the induction of non-ordinary experience
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-08)This dissertation is concerned with the relationship between multisensory installation art and non-ordinary experiences—a term used throughout this work to denote modes of consciousness entailing significant alterations ... -
Crypto-retro-Marxist faux documentation
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-05) -
Cryptographic security in wireless networks via physical layer properties

Crystal growth, optical properties and thermal expansion of the ZrSe₂-ZrSe₂ system
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1977-05)The mass flux versus pressure curve for the ZrS₂-iodine system is in agreement with H. Schafer's model. The flux curve reveals the three pressure regions in which the transport rate is controlled by the rate of the ... -
Crystal orientation effects on implantation of low-energy hydrogen, helium and hydrogen/helium mixtures in plasma-facing tungsten surfaces
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-12)The development of plasma-facing materials (PFM) is one of the major challenges in realizing fusion reactors. Materials deployed in PFMs must be capable of withstanding the high-flux of low-energy hydrogen and helium ions ... -
CT metal artifact reduction with machine learning and photon-counting techniques
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-12)X-ray computed tomography (CT) is a mainstay in medical imaging, playing major roles in disease diagnosis, injury evaluation, treatment planning, and response assessment. Metal implants, such as a dental filling, artificial ... -
Cubesat dynamics and attitude control : Kane’s method, LQR, and Kalman filtering
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-08)This goal of this thesis is to bring together several relevant techniques and methods commonly used in Spacecraft Attitude Control Engineering for the purpose of designing and simulating a complete CubeSat Attitude Control ... -
CUDA-accelerated HD-ODETLAP: a high dimensional geospatial data compression framework
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2011-08) -
CUDA-Accelerated ODETLAP : a parallel lossy compression implementation for multidimensional data
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-08)This thesis presents an efficient ODETLAP implementation for the compression of gridded, multidimensional data. As vast quantities of data are collected for geographic information systems, compression allows for the storage ... -
Cultural diversity as computational diversity : software development for ethnocomputing
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-05)This thesis examines the demands that these cultural simulations put upon the software. Intuitively it is assumed that the math and computing for Native American designs would have to be the same as that of African designs, ... -
Current security issues with IPv4 and emerging security issues with IPv6
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-05)This discussion aims to explain existing security issues within the internet protocol and emerging security issues with the latest version of internet protocol, IPv6. The internet protocol will be extensively discussed in ... -
Cutinase in organic media : preparing immobilized cutinase, studies of catalyst solvent tolerance, thermal stability, and structure-function relationship in enantioselective transesterifications
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-05)Chapter 4 summarizes the major findings of this dissertation and points out several interesting perspectives for future research. Advanced immobilization techniques can be applied to the immobilization of cutinases to ... -
Cutinases, efficient polyester hydrolases: design, biophysical and biochemical characterizations
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-08)Cutinases are esterases secreted by phytopathogenic fungi to break down cutin (biopolyester coating found on leaves and fruits) giving them access to interior plant tissues. They also are powerful hydrolases that can cleave ... -
Cutting models for bio-composites
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-05)On the soft composite front, the cutting of single ply-reinforced hydrogels is investigated in a sensor-rich testbed comprising of both a load-cell, a submerged hydrophone, and a digital camera. The mapping between the ... -
