  • Studies on the recovery of concentrate pear essence from ripe Bartlett pears

    Creator:
    Miaw, Mei-chen
    Abstract:
    Previously, it has not been possible to obtain a concentrated ripe Bartlett pear essence. From studies of Bartlett pear aroma characteristics, it was found that methyl and ethyl decadienoates are the components contributing to the characteristic ripe Bartlett pear aroma. It was also found that only perfume-like aroma products, lacking...

  • Development of a Novel Device to Measure the Viscosity of High Temperature Molten Salts

    Creator:
    Blyther, Joshua D.
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a novel design for a rheometer style viscometer by implementing high temperature and inert atmospheric requirements on the device. The goals of this device are to measure the viscosity of high temperature molten salts, which are corrosive and extremely hydroscopic. It also aims to be able to...

  • Applying Deep Learning in Street View Imagery for Environmental Health Research

    Creator:
    Zhang, Yifang
    Abstract:
    Urban green space is associated with multiple physical and mental health outcomes. Several benefits of green space, such as stress reduction and attention restoration, are dependent on visual perception of green space exposures. However, traditional green space exposure measures do not capture street-level exposures. In this project, we apply deep...

  • Machine Learning for Architectural Design Space Exploration and Resource Control

    Creator:
    Penney, Drew D.
    Abstract:
    Machine learning has enabled significant advancements in diverse fields, yet, with a few exceptions, has had limited impact on computer architecture. Recent work, however, has begun to explore broader application to design, optimization, and simulation. Notably, machine-learning-based strategies often surpass prior state-of-the-art analytical, heuristic, and human-expert approaches. This thesis first...

  • Guarantees and requirements : implementation and complexity analysis of a new model of types for declarative visual programming languages

    Creator:
    Chen, Roger Ding-Fu
    Abstract:
    Djang et al. [1998] introduced a new model of types for declarative visual programming languages (VPLs). Implicit static typing is used in their type model, in order to eliminate the programming mechanisms associated with type declarations, provide immediate visual feedback with respect to type errors and guarantee type safe programs....

  • Towards Deep Learning Model Portability for Domain-Agnostic Device Fingerprinting

    Creator:
    Gaskin, Jared
    Abstract:
    In recent years, RF (Radio Frequency) device fingerprinting using deep learning has emerged as a method of identifying devices solely by their RF transmissions. Conventional approaches to this type of device fingerprinting are not portable to different domains. That is, if a model for this purpose is trained on data...

  • Spatial analysis of potato canopy nitrogen content using remotely sensed reflectance measurements

    Creator:
    Stangel, David E.
    Abstract:
    This study sought to explore the relationship between spatial scale and canopy chemistry through the use of remotely sensed videography data and total nitrogen content of potato petioles. A range of broad band spectral indices were employed along with standard red and green wavelengths to define an optimum scale or...

  • Graph Imitation Learning for Optimal Joint Beamforming and Antenna Selection

    Creator:
    Shrestha, Sagar
    Abstract:
    Transmit beamforming is an important technique employed to improve efficiency and signal quality in wireless communication systems by steering signals towards their in- tended users. It often arises jointly with the antenna selection problem due to various reasons, such as limited number of radio frequency (RF) chains and energy/resource effi-...

  • Development of a Paper-Based Whole Blood Phenylalanine Assay for PKU Diagnosis and Monitoring in Low Resource Settings

    Creator:
    Robinson, Robert Tyler
    Abstract:
    Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a genetic inborn metabolic disorder which inhibits the functional production of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH). It currently affects one in 15,000 Americans and is the most common amino acid metabolism error found in newborns. Individuals affected with PKU are incapable of metabolizing the amino acid, phenylalanine...

  • Signal Enhancement in Lateral Flow Tests for Infant HIV Diagnosis

    Creator:
    Rodriguez, Michael A.
    Abstract:
    Paper-based assays for HIV diagnosis are cheap, portable, and require little to no skilled training, electricity, or expensive equipment to perform successfully. However, there is a need for tests with lower limits of detection (LOD) for diagnosing infection at the earliest stages. Effective labeling to increase signal-to-noise ratio is critical...
