1977 : audiovisual excavating and repetition as suspect past impressions in essay filmmaking
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-08)I explore this through an analysis of three of my essay film works. First, I analyze my compilation video work of 80 films from 1977 in the cinematic Golden Age of Porn and retrospective views of it as a lost paradise one ... -
2.5D teleseismic waveform tomography with application to the Tien Shan
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-12)It is demonstrated through examples that the regularized approximate Hessian is particularly effective at focusing backpropagated residuals to their true location. It is observed that full waveform inversion can provide ... -
2D Log-Elastographic methods for tissue shear stiffness reconstruction using a 2D plane strain elastic system
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-12) -
3-D interactions between a finite-span synthetic jet and a cross-flow
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2011-08) -
3D logic-memory integration for high performance embedded system and reconfigurable computing
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2010-12) -
A brief history of topical invention in 20th century United States rhetorical studies
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-08)Although work on topical invention in the last century has neither a single coherent concept nor consistent terminology, it maintains a deep structure in which topics identify the sources for linkages that connect claims ... -
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 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 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 framework for comparison of methods for solving complemetarity problems that arise in multibody dynamics
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-08)Among the simulation software packages in popular use today, there is no entirely satisfactory algorithm to compute the contact impacts with friction, and unbiased comparison and physical validation remain rare. Users with ... -
A framework for joint analysis of electrical impedance tomography and tomosynthesis data in breast cancer detection
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-05) -
A framework for representing and jointly reasoning over linguistic and non-linguistic knowledge
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-12) -
A genome-wide approach to aptamer discovery
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-05)Aptamers are short, single-stranded DNA or RNA oligonucleotides that bind with high specificity and affinity to a target molecule due to their unique, sequence-dependent secondary structure. They have found applications ... -
A high performance system for wireless transmission of power and data through solid metal enclosures
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2011-08) -
A highly parallel automated SFQ circuit design and margin optimization tool applied to a dual rail logic single flux quanta cell library
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-12)In this work circuits will be presented from an initial state where operating margins were optimized to the best of the ability of a more traditional, 1-Dimentional optimization algorithm. Issues with these designs will ... -
A hybrid approach to developing ontology-driven applications : a case study in describing radio spectrum usage policies
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-05)As such, applications need a simple and stable API that abstracts much of the structure, but keeps the strengths of OWL in reasoning or clarity. To meet this need, we utilize a hybrid approach to integrating an ontology ... -
A low-frequency investigation of acoustically coupled spaces using the finite-difference time-domain method
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-08) -
A method for (n,alpha) and (n,p) cross section measurements using a lead slowing-down spectrometer
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-08) -
A methodology to evaluate equity in resource accessibility
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2022-08)Inequalities present in society have been of increased interest in recent years, particularly in the United States. One source of inequality is unequal access to important resources, such as shopping. Recent developments ...
