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 ... -
Representation and generation of terrain using mathematical modeling
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-12) -
Resilience enhancement of mutualistic networks
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-12)There are two methods we tried to improve the resilience of these networks, either adding one or deleting one species from the network. We found that when trying to improve network resilience there is always a cost and ... -
Resonance region capture cross section measurements in iron and tantalum using a new C6D6 detector array
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-12)The measurement of accurate and precise neutron capture cross section data in the keV resonance region has historically been challenging due to the heavy dominance of neutron scattering in this energy region. Because capture ... -
Resonant column and torsional shear testing to evaluate soil properties deposited using dry pluviation and hydraulic fill
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-05) -
Revisiting the architectural folly in the age of the Anthropocene
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-05)Based on the significant environmental impact of buildings and our constant exposure to the built environment, architects have the opportunity--and privilege--not only to expose the conditions of the current ecological ... -
Robot manipulators intelligent motion and force control
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-05)Typically for industrial robots, users have no access to motor torque control. Instead, a robotmay be controlled by an external position or velocity command interface. This outer-loop external interface facilitates ... -
Robust news veracity detection
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-05)Second, we learn from news source behavior and relationships. In this approach, we explore content sharing behavior by both mainstream and alternative news sources. Specifically, we construct content sharing networks from ... -
Room acoustics investigations of beamforming performance using coprime linear microphone arrays
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-08)In this work beam patterns are simulated for a range of single frequencies, as well as for arbitrary bands of frequencies. Three coprime microphone arrays are built with different lengths and sub-array spacings. Two ...
