  • Learning-based Techniques for Fast and Robust Motion Planning

    Creator:
    Chow, Scott
    Abstract:
    Motion planning is a cornerstone of autonomous robots, enabling robots to safely and efficiently perform tasks such as package delivery, infrastructure inspection, and manipulation. However, as the field of robotics matures, robotic systems are being developed that (1) are challenging to analytically model, (2) require computationally expensive model-based controllers, and...

  • Characteristics of soil organic matter in two forest soils

    Creator:
    Crow, Susan E.
    Abstract:
    Soil organic matter (SOM) is the terrestrial biosphere's largest pool of organic carbon (C) and is an integral part of C cycling globally. Soil organic matter composition typically can be traced directly back to the type of detrital inputs; however, the stabilization of SOM results as a combination of chemical...

  • Assessing Exposures and Simplifying Complex Mixtures of SVOCs for Hazard Characterization using Alternative Model Systems

    Creator:
    Rivera, Brianna N.
    Abstract:
    Throughout their lifetime individuals are exposed to complex mixtures of chemicals. The study of chemical mixtures is an internationally recognized research priority, but seemingly complex challenge. To reduce the intricacy of studying mixtures, researchers have identified different prioritization methods based on exposure or the toxicity of chemicals. However, understanding the...
