  • Evaluation of UWB techniques for indoor position locationing

    Creator:
    Chou, Tai Chian
    Abstract:
    Time of Arrival (TOA) is a popular technique used for geolocation. This thesis evaluates the use of TOA techniques indoors. The accuracy of measuring distances using TOA is dependent on the bandwidth of the system and the multipath conditions between the receiver and transmitter. System bandwidth has a significant effect...

  • Walking tree methods for biological string matching

    Creator:
    Hsu, Tai C.
    Abstract:
    Approximate string matching is commonly used to align genetic sequences (DNA or RNA) to determine their shared characteristics. In contrast with the standard dynamic programming methods which use local edit distance models, the Walking Tree heuristic method was created to handle non-local changes, e.g., translocations, inversions, and duplications, altogether and...

  • An automated web crawl methodology to analyze the online privacy landscape

    Creator:
    Sarkar, Chandan
    Abstract:
    Protecting end-users privacy and building trust are the two most important factors needed to support the growth of ecommerce. The increased dependence on the Internet for a wide variety of daily transactions causes a corresponding loss in privacy for many users, as virtually all websites collect data from users directly...

  • Topological analysis, visualization, and design of vector fields on surfaces

    Creator:
    Chen, Guoning
    Abstract:
    Analysis, visualization, and design of vector fields on surfaces have a wide variety of major applications in both scientific visualization and computer graphics. On the one hand, analysis and visualization of vector fields provide critical insights to the flow data produced from simulation or experiments of various engineering processes. On...

  • Al-In-Sn-O thin-film transistors

    Creator:
    Stewart, Kevin A.
    Abstract:
    The aim of the research undertaken for this thesis was to develop a new high-performance amorphous oxide semiconductor (AOS) for use as a channel layer in a thin-film transistor (TFT). AOS TFTs offer higher electron mobility than the established amorphous silicon based technology. A new channel material comprised of aluminum...

  • Efficient Algorithms for Robust Spatiotemporal Data Analysis

    Creator:
    Moore, Travis W.
    Abstract:
    Many large-scale data analysis applications involve data that can vary over both time and space. Often the primary goal of analyzing spatiotemporal data is identifying trends, movements, and sudden changes with respect to time, location, or both. This can include a variety of applications in economics (housing prices, unemployment, job...

  • A Blockchains-Enabled Protocol for Distributed IoT Resource Sharing On-Demand

    Creator:
    Al-kalbani, Mohamed A.
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, we propose a Blockchain-based distributed protocol for enabling deployment of dynamic, on-demand IoT networks. Specifically, the proposed protocol leverages Blockchain technology to: (i) enable distributed and secure authentication, registration, and management of IoT devices; (ii) provide fast discovery of IoT resources and scalable and secure instantiation of...

  • A tool for visualizing sequence alignments and associating annotations

    Creator:
    Zhang, Wenpeng
    Abstract:
    Alignment of genomic sequences from different species is becoming an increasingly powerful method in biology, and is being used for many purposes. The result of sequence alignments is a list of pairs of matched locations between the pattern string and the text string. However, without any proper visualization tools to...

  • On surrogate supervision multi-view learning

    Creator:
    Jin, Gaole
    Abstract:
    Data can be represented in multiple views. Traditional multi-view learning methods (i.e., co-training, multi-task learning) focus on improving learning performance using information from the auxiliary view, although information from the target view is sufficient for learning task. However, this work addresses a semi-supervised case of multi-view learning, the surrogate supervision...

  • End-user programming tool for analyzing food composition data from Automated Multiple-Pass Method (AMPM) food surveys and building a comprehensive food profile

    Creator:
    Vijay, Catharina
    Abstract:
    Surveys are often used in health studies to collect data about participants for scientific research. An increasing number of health scientists are turning to online data collection methods because they are less costly and can reach a large diverse population quickly. Online surveys also make it easy to track and...
