Protein-DNA affinity binding studies using mass spectrometry and optical spectroscopy
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-08) -
Protein-nanoparticle interactions : improving immobilized lytic enzyme activity and surface energy effects
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-05)Spherical, amorphous, and uniformly doped Zn-silica particles with tailored surface energies were synthesized to understand the impact of surface energy on protein adsorption behavior. Particle surface energy increased ... -
Protein-surface interactions in multimodal chromatography: a molecular modeling based investigation
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-12)Finally, the strongest bound faces from the above method were analyzed and it was demonstrated that protein interactions with MM surfaces were always face-specific for all four proteins on the two MM surfaces. It was seen ... -
Proteins under confinement: structure, dynamics and thermodynamics
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2010-05) -
Provability-based semantic interoperability between knowledgebases and databases via translation graphs
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2007-08) -
Proving correctness of actor systems using FIFO communication
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-05)We are developing a hierarchy of theories to reason about actor systems, with the ability to reuse proofs formalized at an abstract level in reasoning about concrete actor programs. Several actor languages, e.g., the ABCL ... -
Proximity, interactions, and communities in social networks : properties and applications
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-12)Social network analysis, in the form of network theory, where nodes are humans and edges are social relationships between humans, have a wide range of applications in information science, political science, social science, ... -
Psychometric AI and story arrangement: progress of a test-based approach towards an achievable artificial intelligence
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2006-12) -
Public acceptability of time-of-day pricing : the New Jersey Turnpike case
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-12)Time of day pricing reduces the traffic on highway network by discouraging its overuse, especially during peak hours. Public acceptability is one of the important barriers for implementing the congestion pricing. The ... -
Purification of antibodies using elastin like polypeptide based affinity precipitation
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-08)With the final aim being the development of a continuous affinity precipitation setup for the purification of mAbs, the first part deals with an improvement to the affinity precipitation process. Optimal conditions for the ... -
Purification of non-mAb biologics : development of integrated purification processes
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-08)The first strategy employed for purification process development consisted of identifying affinity peptides for use as chromatographic ligands to selectively capture desired product directly from cell culture fluid. In ... -
pyVivid ; a concrete framework for mechanized diagrammatic reasoning
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-05)In 2007, the abstract semantic framework of Vivid was introduced by [Arkoudas and Bringsjord, 2009] for the purpose of mechanized heterogeneous natural deduction that combines symbolic and diagrammatic reasoning. We introduce ... -
QSAR/QSPR modeling for development of apatasensor and radio therapy dosimeter and 3D CNNEDPL system for ligand binding surface generation
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-12)Another computational study in dosimetry response was also performed to address deficiencies in current technologies. Existing dosimeters in clinical use in radiation therapy have the drawbacks of high cost, loss of readout ... -
QSAR/QSPR modeling on gene delivery polymers and development of property-encoded protein binding site surface partial comparison method
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-05)The second part of this thesis describes the development of a new cheminformatics method which can be applied in traditional drug discovery studies. The novel idea is based on the concept that binding site/ligand interactions ... -
Quadtree-based data compression using lattice vector quantization
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2010-05) -
Quantification of spatial effects on freight generation and freight trips
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-12)FG/FTG models for Bangladesh were estimated by Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) using multiple explanatory variables including spatial variables. Four different functional forms were used for estimation (linear, logarithmic, ... -
Quantifying machining outputs relevant to the removal of dental caries in human teeth
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-05)Dental caries are a common ailment affecting human teeth. The short supply of locally-trained dentists in developing countries places a socio-economic burden on their communities. A possible solution to this problem is to ... -

Quantifying the degradation of automatic speech recognition for reverberant environments
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-08)In general, automatic speech recognition (ASR) algorithms are designed for use with pure, anechoic signals. Although ASR systems approach a human’s intelligibility for clean signals, it is well acknowledged that a downfall ...
