Radical game design
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-12) -
Random projections for support vector machines
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-12)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 ... -
Randomized algorithms for mining massive matrices: design & implementation at terascale and beyond
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-05)Modern technological advancements and innovation has led to an explosive growth of data in various domains, ranging from physics and biological sciences to economics and social sciences. Research on mathematical libraries ... -
Randomness mergers: combining the quantum and classical worlds
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-12)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 ... -
Range data analysis by free-space modeling and tensor voting
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-12) -
Rate dependence of CaF2 nanorod growth on amorphous substrates
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2011-05) -
Real-time address leak detection on the DynamoRIO platform using dynamic taint analysis
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-05)Address Space Layout Randomization, or ASLR, has long since served as one of the most effective deterrents to successful and, in particular, reliable exploits. However, a successful exploit may bypass ASLR by employing ... -
Real-time recognition of piano performance for controlling variable acoustic systems
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-08)With the increasing popularity of multi-use performance halls, variable acoustic systems are in high demand. User interfaces with presets are often used to switch between various acoustical settings in which users select ... -
Reason and rationality in nuclear deterrence : implementing an approach to nuclear crisis resolution using meta-game theory
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-08)Nuclear deterrence has been an important political goal for decades. It involves a strategy, cooperation and an understanding of the options and rationale of all parties involved. Simulations of these scenarios are very ... -
Recent applications of Nash equilibria.
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2007-12) -
Reclaiming the pieces : Transgender representation in the moving image
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-05) -
Recollecting La Technique : industrial heritage sites and the rhetoric of technology
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-08)Industrial heritage sites are locations that exemplify both public memory and the rhetoric of technology. In this dissertation, I interpret three examples of industrial heritage sites to identify and characterize their ... -
Redox initiated cationic polymerization: reduction of dialkylphenacylsulfonium salts by silanes
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-05) -
Reduced-order modeling of neutron transport by proper generalized decomposition
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2022-08)The numerical simulation of neutron transport within a nuclear reactor—for brevity, reactor physics—is the foundation on which analysts: design new reactors; license existing designs; prolong the licenses of operating ... -
Reducing image classification error and quantifying the contributions of components in a learning pipeline
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-08)In the second part of the Thesis, we try to understand the error contributions from different components of image classification pipelines. In the first work of this part, we are trying to quantify the quality of the ... -
Regenerative Tourism: re-invention of social order through the establishment of a mobile network
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-05) -
Regulation of astrocyte migration occurs in a GEF-Rho GTPase dependent manner : with a discussion of Rho GTPase-effector choice
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-05)I believe that these data indicate that Solo activation of Rac1 and RhoA GTPases induces GTPase-effector preference in a conformationally dependent manner. I propose that particular GEFs binding particular GTPases causes ... -
Relationships of care with pediatric patients requiring long-term care
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-05)Observing care relationships for pediatric patients in long-term care facilities provides important insight into caregiving practices, notions of independence and autonomy, and communication practices. Caregivers may fulfill ... -
Remembering the Iraq War : the rhetoric of public memory and the memory of publics
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-05)In this dissertation, I analyze representations of the Iraq War beginning with texts produced while the war was still in its early stages to gain a sense of how these texts and their underlying discourses were and are ... -
