A comparison of the effects of varied bandwidth specular and diffusive reflections on the precedence effect
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-08) -
A comparison of the quality of light distribution in different diamond models
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-05)We created visualizations to show both single photons traveling through the scene and many photons in a single scene. Different colors were used to differentiate photon wavelengths or to show the number of bounces a photon ... -

A contact model for geometrically accurate treatment of polytopes in simulation
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-12)I herein present a formulation of non-penetration constraints between pairs of bodies which accounts for all possible combinations of active contact. This is the first formulation that accurately models the body geometries ... -
A contemporary assessment of the lateral silicon-germanium bipolar transistor
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-05)The goal of this research is to develop a design environment that can enable the creation of digital circuitry for the proposed technology. -
A context-sensitive security type system for Java
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-05)This thesis presents the theoretical framework for A context-sensitive security type system for Java programs. The primary contribution is JSec, a two-stage protocol that prepares a program containing sensitive data to ... -
A contract based approach to collision avoidance for UAVs
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-08)Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) are becoming widespread and making them autonomous is the next big milestone. To control UAVs, a Guidance-Navigation-Controller (GNC) architecture is commonly used. The UAV subsystems may ... -
A convergent tangential approximation procedure for a decomposable nonlinear system
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1975-06)A procedure is developed to solve a concave decomposable system. The general structure is treated in the same way as the classical Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition and Benders' partitioning procedures. Nonlinearities are permitted ... -
A decision model for allocation of funds to family planning clinics
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1977-05)The purposes of this research are (1) to develop a decision model for this type of fund allocation and (2) to investigate the usefulness of linear programming as a means for the problem's formulation and solution. The goals ... -
A decision-directed rapid estimation of states for systems subject to unknown input sequences
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1975-12)Sufficient conditions for convergence of standard Kalman filter estimating the states of a system subject to unknown inputs have been postulated and proved; and the limit of signal to noise ratio under which the proposed ... -
A decision-making framework for dynamic control of electroactive patterning on next generation architectural glazing
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2010-08) -
A density of states calculation in disordered alloys by a generalized coherent-potential approximation
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1976-09)The coherent-potential approximation (CPA) of Soven has proven to be a very effective tool in solving the problem of a disordered binary alloy for the electronic density of states. It is generally considered to be the best ... -
A discrete-continuous approximation model for optimal facility location in disaster response logistics
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-12)Disaster preparedness efforts regarding the location and prepositioning of relief supplies are becoming much more crucial than ever before. After major disasters and catastrophic events, local distribution is challenging ... -
A discrete-event simulation tool for resource constrained networks
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-12)Resource Constrained Networks (RCN) have become a hot topic in recent years, they includes Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANET) and Delay-Tolerant Networks (DTN). Security is one of the major ... -
A distributed octree structure and algorithms for parallel mesh generation
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1998-12)An octree is a hierarchical data structure which is used to recursively subdivide a cubic universe into finer resolution levels. Octrees are an effective means to control element sizes which meet apriori mesh size ... -
