(In)forming : the affordances of digital fabrication in architectural education
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2010-05) -
Increasing the understanding of truck parking behavior in congested urban areas: behavioral data acquisition and analysis with cumulative prospect theory
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-05)Congested urban areas are faced with the difficulty of balancing the needs of their residents, businesses, and goods movements, all of which are competing for coveted real estate and curbside. It is increasingly more ... -
Influence of freestream and forced disturbances on the shear layers of a square prism
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-05)Flow around the square prism, an archetypal bluff body, has applications in all areas of fluid mechanics: vibration, mixing, combustion and noise production to name a few. It also has distinct importance to wind loading ... -
Influence of modal attenuation on shallow water propagation
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-08) -
Influence of vibration and stage construction on the perception of musical performance
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-08) -
Info@War.Mil: nonlinear science and the emergence of information age warfare in the United States Military
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-08) -
Infrared astronomy in science and education
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-08)The science research the lesson followed looks at the interstellar dust cloud DC 314.8-5.1, which is unique because of the cloud's proximity to a B-type star with no known association. This thesis did a survey of the area ... -
Integer optimization for the understanding and disruption of illicit networks
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2022-08)Tools from operations research (OR) have historically been applied to better understand and disrupt illicit trafficking networks. Two such tools are community detection and network interdiction. Community detection has ... -
Integrated computational strategies for the analysis, design and synthesis of chemical and biological systems
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-05) -
Intercepting moving targets: a little foresight helps a lot
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-05) -
Internal models of embodied dynamics: a computational theory of learning in routine interactive behavior
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-05) -
Interrogating mobiles: a story of Nigerian appropriation of the mobile phone
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-08) -
Inversion of rough-surface parameters via polarimetric synthetic aperture radar data
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-12)I apply my method to a set of experimentally collected SAR data, finding reasonable agreement with results reported in the literature. -
Investigating melanopsin contribution to scene brightness perception
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-12)Experiment 1 used a "Green" stimulus composed of LED illumination peaking at 525 nm and 625 nm, and a "Fuchsia" stimulus composed of LEDs peaking at 465 nm and 625 nm. S-cone stimulation from the Green stimulus was only ... -
Investigating temporal effects on truck accident occurrences and severity levels in Manhattan
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-05)This report is a preliminary analysis into, through separate modeling approaches, the accident severity level and crash occurrences per Census tract, temporally divided into the four time blocks in the Best Practice Model: ... -
Investigation into the thermodynamic and molecular basis of protein-ligand interactions in multimodal chromatography
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-08)The drive towards process intensification and the increased complexity of new classes of biological products has catalyzed significant interest in new bioseparation modalities. Multimodal chromatography has been shown to ... -
Investigation of the ion networks in pseudomonas aeruginosa : roles in physiology and pathogenesis
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-12)Growth defects range in intensity, and phenotypic changes vary by mutant, however the results of this characterization point to a greater role for these ion transporters in the regulation of pathogenesis in P. aeruginosa. ... -
Investing in the micro community
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-05)This research uses extrapolation theory to understand how past actions effect the present, and through this lens how decisions made now will effect the future. This paper investigates how this theory informed design decisions ... -
Iterative feedback and feedforward controller tuning for repetitive processes
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-08)Portable ILC addresses the portability problem between different trajectories on the same system, i.e. how can a feedforward control signal be generated from learning from a training trajectory. Portable ILC learns a model ... -
Jointly estimating 3D target shape and motion from radar data
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-12)A novel hybrid 3D radar imaging technique is presented that jointly estimates both target shape and motion using range, range-rate, and phase. This work expands on research done by the author as an intern at MIT Lincoln ...
