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 ... -

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
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-12)Automatic activity detections and forecasts can allow a controller to prompt for meals and anticipate exercise. To this end, an automatic activity detection framework using a smartwatch and smartphone has been developed. ... -
Assessment of tradeoffs among multiple vehicle classes for urban deliveries

Astrobiological implications of guanosine gels and analysis of abiotic RNA polymerization
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-05)A robust analytical procedure is required in order to study model systems for abiotic RNA polymerization. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) has been used as a ... -
Attitude determination from triaxial ellipsoid of unknown orientation
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-12)Presented is the derivation for the rotation matrix describing the principal axis of a celestial body of unknown attitude relative to a spacecraft of known attitude. Through the use of the lit limb of an ellipsoidal body ... -
Auction design for dynamic spectrum sharing
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-12)Scarcity of the wireless spectrum has become a major problem as a result of the rapid growth in wireless communications. With the proliferation of smart phones and tablets, wireless data more than doubles every year. The ... -
Auditory virtual environment with dynamic room characteristics for music performances
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-08)A room-adaptive system was designed to simulate an electro-acoustic space that changes room characteristics in real-time according to the content of sound. In this specific case, the focus of the sound components is on the ... -
