  • 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...

  • Effects of Marijuana on Risky Decision-Making in Young Adult College Students

    Creator:
    Casey, Jorie L.
    Abstract:
    Marijuana (MJ) is a widely used illicit substance among adolescents and young adults. Frequent MJ use has been associated with impairments in cognitive flexibility and inhibition, both of which play important roles in decision-making. However, the impact of frequent MJ on decision-making performance is mixed and not well understood. The...

  • The effects of disruption propagation and mitigation strategies on a distribution supply chain system

    Creator:
    Hsu, Samantha
    Abstract:
    Supply chain disruptions and their propagating effects often result in negative impacts on supply chain performance, reduced profit, and an overall decrease in supply chain health. To mitigate these risks, it is important to understand the behavior of specific disruptions and to identify mitigation strategies that would be the most...

  • Chronic Toxicological Effects in Daphnia magna from Exposure to PMMA Nanoplastics

    Creator:
    Brown, Hans
    Abstract:
    Plastic pollution is an ever-increasing environmental threat. As large-scale plastics break down to form nanoscale plastics, it is essential to investigate their effects on freshwater ecosystems. With many plastic nanoparticle (NP) studies favoring the effects of common polystyrene (PS) plastics, a gap is formed for other common plastic types like...

    Wong, Ryan
    Abstract:
    Instance segmentation, the classification and localization of objects in an image, is a problem in cellular biophysics due to the physiological relevance of cell morphology. Particularly, cancer cells migrate in tissue space by changing their body shape similarly to how humans extend their limbs to swim through water. Monitoring such...
