Let X ∈ R n×d be a data matrix of rank ρ, representing n points in R d . The linear support vector machine constructs a hyperplane separator that maximizes the 1-norm soft margin. We develop a new oblivious dimension ...

In an ever-evolving digital world, the onset of the Internet of Things leads to a new problem in secure communications. Embedded devices may lack the computational power to generate high entropy random numbers for cryptographic ...

This thesis addresses "smart rooms", living and working spaces that intelligently react to the presence and behavior of their occupants. Smart rooms require sensors and algorithms that enable real-time occupancy detection, ...

Two composite material systems were evaluated: industry standard woven carbon fiber reinforcement with low viscosity infusion epoxy matrix and woven cellulose fiber with a high bio-content, recyclable epoxy resin matrix. ...

Finally, from a fundamental standpoint, we find that screening a few hundred protein-peptide interactions is not only advantageous for affinity ligand design, but can also provide significant preliminary insights for ...

In this work, we employed metabolic engineering and systems biology to improve the yields of plant polyketide resveratrol in E. coli by redirecting carbon flux into the heterologous pathway. Further, we attempted to generate ...
