Partitioning-Guided K-Means for Effective Empty Cluster Resolution in Extreme Model Compression

Creator:: Huang, Tianhong
Abstract:: Compactness in deep learning can be critical to a model’s viability in low-resource applications, and a common approach to extreme model compression is quantization. We consider Iterative Product Quantization (iPQ) with Quant-Noise [Fan et al., 2020] to be state-of-the-art in this area, but this quantization framework suffers from preventable inference...

Comparative Aquatic Toxicology of Pesticides and Plastics Using the Model Estuarine Fish, Inland Silverside

Creator:: Hutton, Sara J.
Abstract:: Based on current trends both pesticide and plastic production are expected to continue to rise in the coming decade. A growing global population coupled with the effects of climate change are the main drivers of increased pesticide use. Throughout this dissertation pesticides refer to herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides. Plastic production...

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) Exposure Trends, and Evidence of Adverse Health Effects in Infants and Children from Prenatal/Early-Life PAH Exposure

Creator:: Hudson-Hanley, Barbara A.
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are complex mixtures that form when organic matter is burned. Humans are primarily exposed to PAHs via air pollution from incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass, such a motor vehicle exhaust, cigarette smoke, wood smoke, or industrial emissions; or via ingestion of PAHs bound to...

Mining Landsat Time-series Imagery to Understand Spatiotemporal Dynamics of the Urban Landscape: A Perspective from Local Climate Zone Mapping

Creator:: Xu, Chunxue
Abstract:: We live on an Urban Planet. The current unprecedented urbanization is accompanied by intensive land cover transition and demographic shifts from rural to urban livelihoods. Cities serve as cultural, economic, political centers that facilitate wealth creation and innovation of the society, sustaining human from multi-dimensions with large ecological footprints far...

Environmental Metal Exposures and Effects on Maternal and Child Health in Bangladesh

Creator:: Andrews, Faye V.
Abstract:: Bangladesh is a developing country with burdens of environmental pollution and disparities in maternal and child health. Arsenic, manganese, and lead are pervasive environmental contaminants throughout Bangladesh with major exposures through drinking water and ambient pollution. Chronic exposures to arsenic, manganese, and lead in sensitive populations such as pregnant women,...

Investigating the Impact of Temperature and Air Quality on Human Health in At-Risk Populations

Creator:: Evoy, Richard E.
Abstract:: Climate change is causing people around the world to experience extreme temperature and air pollution events such as wildfires more frequently, and for longer periods of time. Extreme heat events have been widely associated with an increased risk of emergency room visits, occupational heat-related injuries and illnesses, and mortality overall...

A Distributed Scheme for Accelerating and Scaling PSPNet

Creator:: Krishna, Ajay
Abstract:: Advances in deep learning based image processing have led to their adoption for a wide range of applications, and in tow with these developments is a dramatic increase in the availability of high quality datasets. With this comes the need to accelerate and scale deep learning applications in order to...

Shifting Rural Quantification Towards Study of Health Disparities: Applications in Statistical and Spatial Analysis of Rural Colorectal Cancer

Creator:: Buchalter, Robert Blake
Abstract:: Quantitative measurement of the urban-rural continuum for examination of U.S. rural health disparities is a relatively new research area, where only a handful of studies have investigated health disparities using quantitative rural measures and even fewer have attempted to integrate health variables within said measures. Most U.S. rural health disparity...

The Identification of Common Environmental and Demographic Associations for Tick-Borne Disease Risk and Surveillance Efforts in the United States

Creator:: Ashraf, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: Ixodes scapularis (e.g. blacklegged tick) is a hard-bodied tick considered endemic to certain regions within the United States. This species is considered a primary vector of Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi), anaplasmosis (Anaplasma phagocytophilum) and babesiosis (Babesia microti). Each of these tick-borne diseases represent a growing health concern within the nation...

Community Risk Factors for Post-Hurricane Disease

Creator:: Hultberg, Kate
Abstract:: This thesis explores interrelationships between the geographical impact of recent hurricanes, rates of giardiasis and cryptosporidiosis in impacted communities, and effects of hurricanes on local water infrastructure systems. I obtained quantitative data on geographical hurricane attributes, demographic characteristics of populations struck by hurricanes, and confirmed cases of giardiasis and cryptosporidiosis...
