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 ...

To our knowledge, this is the first method that can achieve this level of accuracy on humpback fluke identification without extensive manual effort at inference time.

The intersection of critical creative practices and HCI was explored in an effort to create a design framework for developing material speculations in the form of communication tools that evoke critical reflection. In an ...

This thesis presents two techniques for correlating the pixels in two images of the same or similar subjects under various change conditions. The first technique is a new modality invariant keypoint descriptor that attempts ...

Small-signal interaction between the power grid and converter-based generators is an issue that will become ever more present with the introduction of additional renewable generation year after year. A proven tool to ...

The transactor model is an extension of the actor model designed to tolerate failures in distributed systems. Transactors can provide guarantees about consistency of a distributed system’s state in the face of message loss ...

CFD simulations were then undertaken for a rotor with reflex camber on the inboard sections of the blades. Two modified blade geometries were derived from the geometry of the X2 blade, one with a larger chord, greater ...

Improvements in negative prompt temperature feedback are proposed by developing a tailored thermal resistance in the nuclear fuel. In the event of a large reactivity insertion, the thermal resistance allows for a faster ...
