An experimental investigation of the SOMS green hybrid spin-on micro-filter system
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-05) -
An investigation of the approximate optimal projection reduced-order models for elliptic partial differential equations
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-05)Reduced-order modeling is often utilized in obtaining an approximate solution to a complex high-fidelity system. An essential step in constructing a reduced-order system is to project the original high-fidelity system onto ... -
An investigation on off-hour delivery policy design using optimal incentives and a behavioral micro-simulation approach
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-08) -
Analogical constructivism : the emergence of reasoning through analogy and action schemas
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-05)After a defense of the claim that cognitive structure cannot exist apart from actions (a claim which I refer to as "No-semantically-empty-structure"), I introduce PAGI World, a simulation environment rich enough in possible ... -
Analysis of random equivalence class selection algorithms for K-anonymity and another O(k)-approximation of optimal K-anonymity by cell suppression
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2010-08) -
Analysis of the effects of reduced oxygen atmospheres on the decarburization depths of 300M alloy steel
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2010-08) -
Analysis tools and thin film development for nEXO, XENON1T and the NAPOLEON concept device
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-12)One, as of yet, undiscovered attribute of the neutrino is whether it is a Dirac type fermion (like all the known leptons) or if it is a Majorana fermion. One of the experimentally accessible processes to probe this is the ... -
Analyzing count data with endogenous peering effects : how spatial activities and our connections mutually influence each other?
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-08)Specifically, the proposed model consists of three parts: the first part is a Poisson spatial autoregressive regression model for count data (i.e., small positive integers); the second part characterizes virtual connections ... -
Animal detection for photographic censusing
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-12)Animal population monitoring is hard to do at large scales. It is too logistically demanding to track thousands of animals with invasive tools like ear tagging, and methods like aerial surveys and hand-based counts cannot ... -
Anomaly detection and diagnosis in manufacturing processes : a comprehensive framework
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-08)We call this the two-step neural network algorithm, which is capable of training and predicting on multiple machines. The first step of this algorithm is an unsupervised autoencoder trained to capture the normal behavior ... -
Antikernel: a decentralized secure hardware-software operating system architecture
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-05)Security of monolithic kernels, and even microkernels, relies on a large and complex body of code (including both software and hardware components) being entirely bug-free. Most contemporary operating systems can be ... -
Application and development of microstructured solid-state neutron detectors
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-08)Neutron detectors are useful for a number of applications, including the identification of nuclear weapons, radiation dosimetry, and nuclear reactor monitoring, among others. Microstructured solid-state neutron detectors ... -
Application of the phase field model towards selective laser melting of Inconel 718, through an integrated multiscale framework
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-12)The Selective Laser Melting (SLM) process is a developing additive manufacturing process for metals. This technique allows for very fine details to be produced with minimal post-processing required, and is especially useful ... -
Application of unsupervised learning methods to an author separation task
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-08)As the amount of information stored as text grows, being able to efficiently organize and sort the available information becomes crucial. Supervised learning methods provide a solution for some of these tasks, however they ... -
Applications of Bayesian spectrum representation in acoustics
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-12) -
Approximating covariance matrices using low rank perturbations with applications to accent identification and social network clustering
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2010-08) -
Arcane methods in architectural acoustics
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-12)This document presents a critical examination of the Enlightenment-era European conceptions, misconceptions, fancies, and accomplishments in architectural acoustics. It focuses on specific contributors and their discoveries ... -
Architecting memory systems upon highly scaled error-prone memory technologies
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-08)This thesis presents a series of orthogonal memory system design techniques that leverage the characteristics of various applications to optimize memory fault tolerance in highly scaled memory technologies. This thesis ... -
Art of art of art : an artistic practice with artificial intelligence
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-05)The project described in this document considers the creative possibilities enabled by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies. We consider how these technologies can be used in an artistic ... -
Artificial intelligence to improve blood glucose control for people with type 1 diabetes
