Kernel partial least squares (K-PLS) for scientific data mining
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2007-05) -
Kinetics of sorption of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors fluoxetine and citalopram and applications to a mixed-media wastewater treatment filter
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-05)Fluoxetine and citalopram are among the top five most prescribed antidepressants in the United States. These compounds and other pharmaceuticals are currently discharged in wastewater effluent with no national standards ... -
Knowledge augmented visual learning
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-08)In knowledge evaluation, we propose to systematically assess the benefit of knowledge for a visual learning task. To this end, we first review different criteria to measure the performance of visual learning and then ... -
Knowledge base construction from scientific literature
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-12)Knowledge Bases (KBs) have become a functional utility as a repository of information for both humans and software agents to seek confirmed facts about the world. With the wide-ranging application of KBs, automatically ... -
Knowledge representation in scruffy worlds : an ethnography of semiotic infrastructure design work
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-05)The research presented in this dissertation is based on four years of ethnographic fieldwork with diverse data communities – including the Semantic Web community and the human services informatics community. It is also ... -
Kvasir : explorations in machine learning by seeing
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2007-12) -
Lab-on-a-chip devices with nanophase surface topography for neural electrophysiological applications
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2007-12) -
Laboratory testing to evaluate effects on dynamic properties of mine tailings
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-12)Tailings are a waste product that must be dealt with during any mining operation. Tailings are most commonly deposited into embankments in layers as the mining project progresses. The prospect of using the tailings as a ... -
Lakes responses to regional and global environmental changes
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-08)Freshwater is a vital natural resource currently under threat from multiple anthropogenic stressors. The effects of watershed and atmospheric disturbances often present themselves in lakes, given their deep-lying position ... -
Laminin-5 promotes intracellular signaling pathways resulting in the osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2007-05) -
Land use influences on the nutrient loadings to Lake George, New York
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1970-05) -
Language based shared control of a mobile-manipulator robotic assistant for quadriplegics
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-05)Two control modes are used. For the low-level control, user specified translation motion of the manipulator end-effector determines the combined arm and base motion such that the mobile base movement happens when the ... -
Large eddy simulation of flow over square cylinders with sharp and chamfered corners
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-05)For the sharp cylinder case, LES predictions including forces, Strouhal number, surface pressure coefficient and velocity profiles are compared against experimental datasets as well as previous LES and direct numerical ... -
Large load manipulation and controller design with flexible joint manipulators
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2022-05)Recent years have seen an increased interest in the use of flexible joint robots. This is due to wider use of collaborative and space robots. Flexibility is desired for collaborative robots because the inherent compliance ... -
Large steam turbine-generator end region losses : magnetic field analysis by finite element method
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1974-11) -
Large-scale atomistic computations of the phonons in twisted bilayer graphene
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-08)To help explore new combinations of techniques not available in existing software, a new code is written specialized to meet the unique demands of this problem. Details of the implementation are discussed in depth, ... -
Late quaternary sea-level highstands and deep-ocean circulation variability during the mid-pliocene : implications for future climate change
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-08)In Chapter 3, I reconstruct millennial-scale variability in deep-ocean circulation during the last period in which global temperatures were substantially higher than present for an extended period of time and atmospheric ... -
