  • Development and Implementation of JetNet : A Decentralized Wireless Sensing Protocol

    Creator:
    Goins, Justin B.
    Abstract:
    Modern sensor network applications are often implemented wirelessly in order to lessen installation costs and reduce deployment times. Unfortunately, these wireless sensor network (WSN) nodes must often rely on batteries or energy harvesting techniques in order to sustain their operation and supply the power needed to maintain communication within the...

  • Determination of magnetoelastic parameters in magnetic thin films from FMR spectra

    Creator:
    Masood, Khalid I.
    Abstract:
    The ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) phenomenon serves as a sensitive probe of the effective internal fields in a magnetic material. FMR spectroscopy has consequently become a well-established technique, extensively employed in assessing material properties such as magnetic anisotropy, Landé g-factor, damping parameter, and the magnetoelastic constants of magnetic materials. Determining these...

  • Computing Resource Usage as a Factor of Student Success

    Creator:
    Moissinac, Béatrice
    Abstract:
    Learning Analytics and other branches of Educational Research such as Computing Education Research (CER) implicitly assume that students, especially college students, have no barriers to access learning platforms or software packages. This assumption may be attributed to such pervasive beliefs such as "everyone has a device", or "everyone can access...

  • Nucleation Inhibiting Mechanisms in Atomic Layer Deposition of Nanolaminates

    Creator:
    Witsell, Shane Mike’ele Williama
    Abstract:
    Nucleation in atomic layer deposition (ALD) determines how many cycles are required to initiate growth and to form a continuous film. Nucleation has been exploited for the formation of nanoparticles, catalysts, and for area-selective ALD. Although sometimes overlooked or misrepresented in ALD reports, nucleation is also critical for multicomponent ALD...

  • Computing Substation Fragility as a Function of Seismic Component Failure

    Creator:
    Stark, William D.
    Abstract:
    The electrical grid of the Western Interconnection is vulnerable to earthquake damage, especially large-magnitude megathrust events, due to the unique seismic profile of the region. However, the size of the Western Interconnection makes it difficult to model seismic failure in electrical substations to the level of detail necessary to improve...

  • High-Dimensional Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback

    Creator:
    Curran, William
    Abstract:
    State-of-the-art personal robots need to perform complex manipulation tasks to be viable in complex scenarios. However, many of these robots, like the PR2, use manipulators with high degrees of freedom. High degrees of freedom are desirable from a functionality standpoint, but make the learning task more difficult by adding a...

  • A peer-to-peer communication system based on Walsh-Hadamard codes for fading environments

    Creator:
    Moranvil, William
    Abstract:
    High data rate transmission has become an important challenge in today digital communication systems. One of the most difficult problems faced by engineers is to transmit data at sufficiently high rates through fading channels. This is the main motivation for the research presented herein. In this thesis, we investigate a...

  • Amorphous multi-component metals as electrode materials

    Creator:
    Cowell, E. William
    Abstract:
    The objective of this thesis is to provide an initial demonstration of two-terminal and three-terminal electronic devices employing amorphous multi-component metallic film (AMMF) electrodes. Such a demonstration is successfully achieved in the fabrication of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) diode and hot electron transistor (HETs) structures employing ZrCuAlNi AMMF electrodes. The ultra-smooth surface...

  • From multitarget tracking to event recognition in videos

    Creator:
    Brendel, William
    Abstract:
    This dissertation addresses two fundamental problems in computer vision—namely, multitarget tracking and event recognition in videos. These problems are challenging because uncertainty may arise from a host of sources, including motion blur, occlusions, and dynamic cluttered backgrounds. We show that these challenges can be successfully addressed by using a multiscale,...

  • Applications of Magnetic Materials in Soft Robotics

    Creator:
    Davis, William M.
    Abstract:
    Magnetic materials can be used in modern soft robotics as a method for external stimulus actuation and motion control. By combining aspects of biology and mechanics, devices are fabricated to create a structure capable of complex movement. Applications that these devices are subject to can be broken down into four...
