Planning and evaluation of federated queries on the web
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-05)To demonstrate the practicality of this federated query planning framework, we present results of empirical evaluation of the framework components over a real-world dataset of bibliographic data. These results show that ... -
Plastics without petroleum: History and politics of 'green' plastics in the United States
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-12)Research in science and technology studies (STS) indicates that social structures shape perceptions of problems, condition viable solutions, and limit the diversity of stakeholders and ideas present in the social construction ... -

Practicing plant-human solidarity : critical ecosocial art, phytocentric pedagogy, and the lawn (re)disturbance laboratory
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-12)Using a plant-led methodology guided by vegetal beings commonly known as weeds, in this dissertation I provide an artistic and scholarly analysis of a field of artistic practice I am defining as critical ecosocial art ... -
Predicting cascade size distribution on one-dimensional geographic networks
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-08)We make rather specific assumptions about the distribution of agents across the geographic map and the likelihood of any pair of them being adjacent. We assume that the agents are nearly evenly spaced across the network. ... -
Predicting change points in multivariate time series data
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-05)Time series data produced by a dynamic system may contain multiple states characterized by distinct patterns. Predicting the phase transitions between them is critical for many important applications including automatic ... -
Preliminary implementation of HIBP for HSX based upon electric field effects
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-05) -
Preparation for flight test of a finite cylinder instrumented with synthetic jet actuators
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-08)The interaction of synthetic jet actuators with the flow field of a finite circular cylinder was experimentally investigated utilizing surface pressure measurements and stereoscopic particle image velocimetry. The effect ... -
Privacy and quality of service aware edge network design
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2022-05)As the network infrastructure grows increasingly more capable of supporting large throughput, other factors such as privacy and latency remain increasingly important in network design. In this thesis, we target two trade-offs: ... -
Privacy-aware urban traffic modeling using mobile sensing data
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-08)The results reveal that in addition to ensuring an acceptable level of privacy, the released datasets from the privacy-aware system can also be applied to urban traffic applications with satisfactory performance. Albeit ... -
Probabilistic acousto-ultrasonic active-sensing structural health monitoring based on gaussian process and stochastic time series models
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-08)In the context of engineering structures, structural safety, maintenance and life-cycle management processes are a major factor in sustainability. In particular, the aerospace industry is one that depends heavily on ... -
Probabilistic models for phylogenetic classification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex genotyping data
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-05)The model and algorithms presented in this thesis use spoligotype and MIRU data combined from multiple heterogeneous data sources labeled by different experts to provide a model that is able to classify MTBC isolates into ...
