Habitat Archipelago : a geofuturist proposal for architecture in the anthropocene
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-05)Nature and technology can be designed symbiotically through architecture. However, this change can only be achieved through the support and subsequent propagation of this idea though culture. Therefore, architecture's ... -
Heat transfer characteristics for flow boiling of R134a in horizontal circular microtubes
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-12) -
Heuristic for multi-variable music state recommendations
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-05)One current challenge in the CAIRA project, which is devoted to the relationship between creativity, logic and spontaneity in musical environments, is to provide logically provable recommendations to a creative agent based ... -
High energy neutron differential scattering measurements for beryllium and molybdenum
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-08) -
High energy reactor neutrinos
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-05)We present the first measurement of a nonzero reactor neutrino flux with energies above 8 MeV. Measurements are taken with the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiments detectors, using the Guangdong Nuclear Power Station as ... -
High Performance NAND flash memory system design
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-08) -
High quality stable solutions in social and communication networks
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-05)Network Formation Games is a rich category of games which studies how a network emerges as an outcome of strategic interaction of self-interested nodes (agents) pursuing their own objectives. The conflicts among node ... -
High-order accurate and stable discretizations of partial differential equations with wave-like solutions
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-05)Finally, numerical interface conditions are developed for an Auxiliary Differential Equation Generalized Dispersion Model (ADE-GDM) form of Maxwell’s equations. Compatibility conditions based on the primal interface ... -
High-order accurate partitioned schemes for conjugate heat transfer with advection-diffusion equations
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2022-07)This thesis presents a high-order accurate partitioned scheme for the solution of conjugate heat transfer (CHT) problems. The scheme is based on special second-order accurate CHAMP (Conjugate Heat transfer Advanced ... -
High-rate ultrasonic data communication through metallic barriers using MIMO-OFDM techniques
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-08)Although recent advances in wireless technologies have enabled high rate communication in the dynamic wireless air channel, these technologies are not effective at communication through metallic enclosures due to Faraday ... -
High-tech worship: digital display technologies and protestant liturgical practice in the U.S.
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-05) -
How to design for impact in games
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-08)In this dissertation, I seek to define strategies designers might use to enhance the effectiveness of their game’s message. To do so, I adopt a rhetorical approach to impact that recognizes identification between the ... -
Human endothelial cell response to thromboresistant collagen-mimetic hydrogels
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-08)To address these issues, Browning et al. have developed a composite vascular graft composed of an electrospun mesh that acts as a reinforcing outer layer and a non-thrombogenic inner hydrogel-based layer that promotes ... -
Human guided reach and grasp planner
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-05)Humans are extremely adept at grasping and manipulating a large variety of novel objects. The current state of robotic grasping, though improving, has not approached the level of robustness found in humans. In order to ... -
Human-level natural language understanding : false progress and real challenges
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-12)The field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) focuses on the study of how utterances composed of human-level languages can be understood and generated. Typically, there are considered to be three intertwined levels of ... -
HVDC converters impedance modeling and system stability analysis
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-08)Harmonic linearization is used as the fundamental tool to model the sequence impedances of MMC and LCC as well as the frequency cross-coupling terms. Different from two level-VSC, the steady-state operation of MMC and LCC ... -
Hybrid materials design for SOFC interconnect applications
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-08) -
Hydrodynamic interactions in active and passive matter
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-05)Active matter is present at all biological length scales, from molecular apparatuses interior to cells, to swimming microscopic organisms, to birds, fish, and people. Its properties are varied and its applications diverse, ... -
Hydromagnetic driven waves in dusty interstellar clouds

Hydrophobicity, heat transfer, and momentum transfer at hard and soft aqueous interfaces
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-08)Interfaces also lead to anomalous behavior in heat and momentum transport. Interfaces disrupt local structure and create boundary resistances that manifest in temperature discontinuities and interfacial slip. We explore ...
