I see seas of blue (and red garnets too) : investigations into the subduction and metamorphism of the eclogite and blueschists of the Greek Cyclades
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-12)Overall, these findings are consistent with the recent identification of overstepped garnet nucleation on the island of Sifnos. Taken together, these studies suggest that all metamorphic petrology research reliant on ... -
I'm not the president but I play her on YouTube : public address online in Clinton's 2008 Democratic primary campaign
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2010-08) -
Idealized models of insect olfaction
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-08)When a locust detects an odor, the stimulus triggers a specific sequence of network dynamics of the neurons in its antennal lobe. The odor response begins with a series of synchronous oscillations, followed by a short ... -
Identification and analysis of kinetically stable proteins in human plasma and red blood cells
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-05)Structural analysis of the thirteen kinetically stable proteins revealed common features among them. Understanding the structural basis of protein kinetic stability could allow prediction of this property from three ... -
Identification and analysis of protein aggregation inhibitors
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-08) -
Identification and characterization of the two C. elegans Asf1 histone chaperone homologs
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2007-08) -
Identification and characterization of xenobiotic-degrading microorganisms for application to the field of bioremediation
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2011-05) -
Identification and iterative learning control for building systems : a data-driven approach
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-05)For simulation and system analysis, we model a multi-zone building as a lumped-parameter thermal resistance-capacitance network. This model is used to perform simulations and to study the inherent passivity in multi-zone ... -
Identifying agency : the construction of rhetorical agency in Foxfire
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2007-08) -
Identifying and addressing the error sources in diffuse optical tomography
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2007-12) -
Identifying and quantifying kinetic stability in proteins via electrophoresis
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2010-05) -
Identifying expertise : data exploration in Tetris
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-12)The identification of expertise in a complex task is trivial when all data is in after the fact. To achieve a better understanding of the nature of expertise my first goal, in this work, is to identify the behaviors most ... -
Identifying humpback whale flukes by sequence matching of trailing edge curvature
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-05)To our knowledge, this is the first method that can achieve this level of accuracy on humpback fluke identification without extensive manual effort at inference time. -
Identifying individual animals using ranking, verification, and connectivity
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-08)In this thesis we address the problem of identifying individual animals using images in the context of assisting an ecologist in performing a population census. We are motivated by events like the "Great Zebra Count" where ... -
Identifying kinetically stable proteins via D2D SDS-PAGE
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-05) -
Identifying significant safety factors and leading indicators in shipping organizations with oil tanker operations
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2007-05) -
Identity centered design : the liberating of the post-discretionary user
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2022-08)The intersection of critical creative practices and HCI was explored in an effort to create a design framework for developing material speculations in the form of communication tools that evoke critical reflection. In an ... -
Ignition delay measurements for n-dodecane/N2/air mixtures at high pressures
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-12)Ignition delay time measurements have been made in reflected shock experiments for n-dodecane at conditions relevant to diesel engines and those specifically found in the Engine Combustion Network Spray A experiments. The ... -
Image correlation across multiple image modalities and local spatial distortions
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-08)This thesis presents two techniques for correlating the pixels in two images of the same or similar subjects under various change conditions. The first technique is a new modality invariant keypoint descriptor that attempts ... -
Image processing assisted voltage overscaling for energy efficient IC realization of motion estimation
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2007-12)
