  • DemoFlow: Low-Cost Flow Cytometry for Increased Access to Medical Diagnostics

    Creator:
    Stole, Kyler M.
    Abstract:
    Flow cytometry is a highly-extensible technology for performing rapid multi-parametric particle analysis. The use of flow cytometry has proliferated with the advent of smaller, intuitive, and more affordable instruments, along with a perpetual increase in research and medical applications. However, the technology is still largely inaccessible due to cost and...

  • EXE, an expert system shell for agricutural applications

    Creator:
    Currans, Kevin
    Abstract:
    This paper discusses the design, construction, and use of a prototype expert system shell, EXE. EXE is non-conventional in that it does not provide a traditional forward or backward chaining inference mechanism. Instead, it allows the domain expert to control the logic flow of the system in a dynamic fashion....

  • An alternative architecture for performing basic computer arithmetical operations

    Creator:
    Djang, Kevin
    Abstract:
    The arithmetic portions of almost all modern processor architectures are of very similar design. We use the term "traditional" to describe this design, the primary characteristics of which are native support for integer and floating-point number types and special disjoint instructions and hardware for each supported type. Decades of refinement...

  • Recurrent Neural Networks for Robotic Control of a Human-Scale Bipedal Robot

    Creator:
    Siekmann, Jonah A.
    Abstract:
    Dynamic bipedal locomotion is among the most difficult and yet relevant problems in modern robotics. While a multitude of classical control methods for bipedal locomotion exist, they are often brittle or limited in capability. In recent years, work in applying reinforcement learning to robotics has lead to superior performance across...

  • Benchmarking Linux Containers and Virtual Machines

    Creator:
    Mittal, Pranjal
    Abstract:
    In data-centers, running multiple isolated workloads while getting the most performance out of available hardware is key. For many years Virtual Machines (VMs) have been an enabler, but native containers which offer isolation similar to virtual machines while reducing overhead costs associated with emulating hardware resources have become an increasingly...

  • A Decade of Linux Kernel Vulnerabilities, their Mitigation and Open Problems

    Creator:
    Raj, Abhilash
    Abstract:
    The aim of this thesis is to study past 10 years of security vulnerabilities reported against Linux Kernel and all existing mitigation techniques that prevent the exploitation of those vulnerabilities. To systematically study the security vulnerabilities, they were categorized into classes and sub-classes based on their type. This thesis first...

  • Probabilistic models for quality control in environmental sensor networks

    Creator:
    Dereszynski, Ethan W.
    Abstract:
    Networks of distributed, remote sensors are providing ecological scientists with a view of our environment that is unprecedented in detail. However, these networks are subject to harsh conditions, which lead to malfunctions in individual sensors and failures in network communications. This behavior manifests as corrupt or missing measurements in the...

  • A probabilistic model for anomaly detection in remote sensor streams

    Creator:
    Dereszynski, Ethan W.
    Abstract:
    Remote sensors are becoming the standard for observing and recording ecological data in the field. Such sensors can record data at fine temporal resolutions, and they can operate under extreme conditions prohibitive to human access. Unfortunately, sensor data streams exhibit many kinds of errors ranging from corrupt communications to partial...

  • Detection and Segmentation of Bird Song in Noisy Environments

    Creator:
    Neal, Lawrence W.
    Abstract:
    Recent work in machine learning concerns the detection and identification of bird species from audio recordings of their vocalizations. Such analysis can yield valuable ecological information concerning the activity and distribution of species in the wild. Current species-identification methods require individual syllables of bird audio as input, but field-collected audio...

  • 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...
