Human kinematic responses to walking and riding camels and horses.
(2020-04-28)
Hippotherapy is a novel and promising therapeutic method. The prevailing rationale for hippotherapy is that the motion of a horse can provide movement patterns that mimic those of walking. The purpose of this study is to ...
Development of an optical cavity-based biosensor for point-of-care diagnostics.
(2020-11-02)
An optical cavity-based biosensor (OCB) has been developed using a differential detection method towards point-of-care (POC) diagnostic applications. The optical cavity consisting of two partially reflective surfaces with ...
On the performance of convolutional neural networks initialized with Gabor filters.
(2021-08-05)
Over the years, image recognition has been gaining popularity due to its various possible usages. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been the classic approach taken on by many researchers because of their capability ...
Faster circuit optimization techniques for full-band and notched waveforms to enable next-generation radar.
(2020-04-14)
As the wireless spectrum becomes increasingly congested, more efficient sharing of the spectrum is desperately needed. In order to coexist, next-generation radars will have to adapt their spectral use in real-time. Two ...
Impact of MHD-E3 on power system equipment and loads.
(2021-03-25)
The detonation of a nuclear weapon in the Earth’s upper atmosphere will cause a variety of electromagnetic disturbances at the Earth’s surface. One of these disturbances – the magnetohydrodynamic late-time or MHD-E3 pulse ...
Deep learning methods in molecule design for drug discovery.
(2020-10-22)
In the recent ten years, Deep Learning has undergone rapid development. It has been proved by countless success in different areas. Computer vision projects apply convolution neural networks to extract images' features. ...
Nondestructive evaluation of out-of-plane wrinkles within woven carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) using ultrasonic detection.
(2021-08-10)
In the automotive and aerospace industries composite materials are heavily utilized as they provide a great strength to weight ratio relative to their metallic counterparts. A drawback is they require complex manufacturing ...
Development of a dynamic human body phantom model for on-body electromagnetic wave propagation and antenna radiation study.
(2020-03-27)
Wireless body area network (WBAN) technology has many valuable applications including long-term, remote health monitoring for the general population, the military, and athletes. A key challenge for practical realization ...
Stochastic computing & stochastic resonance in digital & analog neuromorphic systems.
(2020-11-17)
Stochastic computing is an alternative method to standard deterministic methods. This thesis explores stochastic resonance in a spiking neuron, and leverages the effects it has to implement stochastic computing in an analog ...
Developing industrial strength UVM for academic resesarch and teaching.
(2020-07-30)
The Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) has been getting attention from researchers and the functional verification community for a little over decade. Its flexibility, reusability and reliability features are suitable ...
