Waveguides for acoustic power and communication channels
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-08)Channels that extend axially along a length of pipe were simulated extensively using frequency-domain finite element analysis. Channels using a wedge shaped intermediary between the transducers and the pipe wall were the ... -

WEATHERED
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-05)WEATHERED is a means to give back and say thanks to all who have helped me through life and offer similar aid to anyone willing to listen. Presented within the CRAIVE Lab at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's Technology ... -
Web semantics for sensory augmentation
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-12)Such a system would need to respect the conditions under which the integration of cues will occur, which is a real-time problem as well as a problem of machine perception and semantic reasoning or querying. The applicable ... -
WebSig : a digital signature framework for the web
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-08)WebSig is a digital signature scheme for the web that uses Resource Description Framework (RDF) graphs to express its documents, document metadata, and sig- nature data in a way that leverages existing trustable digital ... -
Weighting statistics for estimation in a multistatic sensor radar configuration
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-12)For the second and third topics this thesis then focuses on radar imaging with respect to two subjects related to weighting data from different receivers. The received signal is made up of a weighted sum of the signals ... -
“What feels good in the mouth and sounds right to the ear” : an examination of the practice of reading aloud during revision
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2010-08) -
Whole cell segmentation for the quantification of molecular biomarkers in histopathology samples from multiplex immunostaining and multi-spectral imaging
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2010-05) -
Why a heterotrimer? Elucidating the evolutionary persistence of kinesin-2 through the characterization of its mechanochemical cycle.
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-05)Molecular motors play important in many critical cellular functions. Here I describe three molecular motor families: DNA polymerase, Myosin and Kinesin. Each motor has developed a unique approach to increasing their time ... -
Wide-field macroscopic fluorescence lifetime imaging for pre-clinical assessment of targeted drug delivery
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-08)This study optimized our wide-field MFLI FRET imaging for preclinical applications by selecting the best near-infrared (NIR) FRET pair and implementing reflectance imaging geometry. Comparison of five NIR FRET pairs using ... -
Wildland urban interface (WUI) building design and site considerations
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-05)The spate of recent wildfire activity in the western United States (and significant property losses) has drawn attention to what ecologists have said for years about increasing temperatures and longer periods of drought: ... -

WindowTree: explicit congestion notification and route labeling for congestion control in content centric networks
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-05)Content Centric Networking has gained in popularity in recent years as a novel networking paradigm based on the idea of named content. Individual chunks of data are given routable names and can be cached throughout the ... -
WNx and MoNx layers: elastic properties and crystal structure
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-08)MoNx layers, 689-980 nm thick, were deposited on 1-inch diameter oxidized-Si(111) substrates by reactive magnetron sputtering. X-ray diffraction scans show only cubic MoNx peaks for 600-900 °C with a predominantly 002 ... -
