  • Collaborative Metacognition and Decision Making in a Signal Detection Task

    Creator:
    Duncan-Reid, Jackson
    Abstract:
    When decision makers work collaboratively, their combined performance can exceed the performance of even the best group member working alone. However, despite the potential for performance gains when working in a group, collaborating individuals often show poor coordination and losses of motivation, and are generally inefficient at combining their resources...

  • The effect of acquisition and analysis automation failure in a low-fidelity multitasking system

    Creator:
    Secor, William R.
    Abstract:
    Research into the effect of automation on human multitasking performance is primarily focused on Decision Automation (a machine suggesting a certain course of action for a human operator to take) and Action Automation (a machine carrying out a certain course of action on behalf of the human operator) while Acquisition...

  • A high power emulation of a wind farm

    Creator:
    Lalla, Chelsea
    Abstract:
    As more wind farms are connected to the grid, the variable nature of wind energy begins to influence grid stability. Energy storage could help smooth the variable nature of wind energy. Laboratory demonstration and exploration of the interaction between different energy storage devices and wind energy could help improve and...

  • Initial state estimation for a gun launched projectile in a spatially varying magnetic field

    Creator:
    Chawla, Feni
    Abstract:
    Smart weapons promise to provide leap ahead capability with regard to accuracy and engagement range for medium and large caliber projectiles. One of the most critical components of a smart weapon system is its sensor suite that provides position, orientation, and velocity information as the projectile flies down range so...

  • Large-Area Nanoplasmonic Structures for Enhanced Fluorescence-Based Biosensing

    Creator:
    Wang, Yi-Chieh
    Abstract:
    An innovative silver nano-dimple arrays (Ag DAs)-integrated microfluidic device was developed to achieve highly sensitive fluorescence-based nucleic acid detection. The Ag DAs were utilized to produce surface plasmon resonance (SPR) for strong fluorescence enhancement. We systematically investigated the plasmon-enhanced fluorescence by controlling the nanostructure dimension of the Ag DA substrate....

  • Diagramming practices in open source software development

    Creator:
    Chung, Eunyoung
    Abstract:
    Visual information presented in diagrams promotes information processing both in an individual and in collaborative work. Previous literature has identified the role of diagrams in understanding information processing in a variety of disciplines. In software engineering, diagrams are a prevalent method involved in process development: diagrams are used for system...

  • Consumer responses after an unsatisfactory online apparel shopping and return experience: shopping orientation and perceived justice approaches

    Creator:
    Cha, Seunghee
    Abstract:
    Although there has been a rapid growth in online apparel sales and online apparel shopping during the last several years, consumers still have concerns when they purchase apparel products online (ComScore, 2007; Dunne & Lusch, 2005; ITFacts E-commerce, 2007). From the online apparel shoppers’ perspective, online apparel shopping involves a...

  • A comparative study of AES implementations on ARM processors

    Creator:
    Shamsuddin, Rayees
    Abstract:
    AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), also known as Rijndael, is a symmetric key block cipher adopted as an encryption standard by the US government and used extensively in cryptographic applications worldwide. ARM is the most popular processor core used in embedded applications. This thesis surveys the available public implementations of AES...

  • Assessing mental workload and situation awareness in the evaluation of real-time, critical user interfaces

    Creator:
    Strawn, Jordan J.
    Abstract:
    While there are many ways to evaluate a user interface design, the user's mental workload and situation awareness (SA) are particularly important considerations in the supervisory control of safety-critical systems. Typically, operators of these systems must monitor high-volume, time-sensitive status information. Interface design for this domain can be challenging and...
