A dynamic visual analytics framework for complex temporal environments
(2016-08-01)
Introduction: Data streams are produced by sensors that sample an external system at a periodic interval. As the cost of developing sensors continues to fall, an increasing number of data stream acquisition systems have ...
An anomaly detection model utilizing attributes of low powered networks, IEEE 802.15.4e/TSCH and machine learning methods
(2019-12-01)
The rapid growth in sensors, low-power integrated circuits, and wireless communication standards has enabled a new generation of applications based on ultra-low powered wireless sensor networks. These are employed in many ...
Dynamic square patterns in two dimensional neural fields
(2015-07-29)
The goal of this thesis is to study the emergence of spatiotemporal waves in neural field models. Neural field models aim to describe the activity of populations of neurons at a mesoscopic scale, considering averaged ...
A study of password recall, perceived memorability, and strength using BCIs
(2018-04-01)
Passwords are considered the most common method of authentication and studies are frequently conducted to understand users' password habits. In this thesis, we run two empirical studies that provide information to further ...
A framework for privacy-preserving data sharing in smart grid
(2016-01-01)
While smart grid introduces a lot of enhancements to the traditional power grid and improves managing and controlling consumers demands, it also introduces security and privacy issues. Therefore, failure to address them ...
Nanostructured materials for photovoltaics and microwave electronics: methods and applications
(2017-04-01)
Nanoscale particles and thin layers are today used for a variety of applications to make industrial products lighter, stronger or more conductive. This study investigates synthesis, characterization and application of ...
Synthesis and characterization of Pt/TiO2/C composite catalysts for fuel cells prepared using a glucose modifier
(2017-03-01)
Catalysts in the electrodes of polymer exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) serve a critical function in reactions which can be used to generate electrical energy from chemical fuels. Pt nanoparticles are commonly dispersed ...
Examining swim bladder inflation failure as a toxicological endpoint in Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes)
(2017-11-01)
Inadequate swim bladder inflation, while not being lethal itself, can have serious long-term effects on fish populations. Many environmental contaminants can inhibit swim bladder inflation of larval fish. Understanding how ...
The modification of fuel cell-based breath alcohol sensor materials to improve water retention of sensing performance
(2016-03-01)
Fuel cell based breath alcohol sensors (BrASs) are one of the most important tools used by law enforcement today. While these devices are used globally, they all suffer from a common deficiency: reliance on water. The ...
The impact of restricted ration and chemical stressors on Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and American flagfish (Jordanella floridae)
(2017-12-01)
This research aimed to increase the understanding of the impact of multiple factors including both environmental and chemical stressors and their effects on fish survival, growth, and reproduction. Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus ...
