  • Mood-dynamic playlist : interpolating a path of emotions using a KNN algorithm

    Creator:
    Gaur, Shaurya
    Abstract:
    Users curate music playlists based on emotion to focus or relax, so streaming services often create playlists of songs to aid this process. Prior research focuses on generating playlists of a single mood or genre, although a few studies work to construct automatic playlists that transition between the genres of...

  • 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...

  • Inspiring End-user Programming Through Exposure to Multi-platform Computing and Improved Integrated Development Environments

    Creator:
    Beardsley, Dedrie
    Abstract:
    The art of software engineering inherently requires high-level problem solving and perseverance, as programmers and designers wrestle with complex design and implementation challenges in the process of turning loose concepts and ideas into working code. In the current developer ecosystem, engineers are commonly incentivized extrinsically by monetary rewards, approval or...

  • Network coding for sensor networks, distributed storage and video streaming

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Kien Trung
    Abstract:
    The classical store-and-forward routing has and will continue to be the most important routing architecture in many modern packet-switched communication networks. In a packet-switched network, data is sent in the form of discrete packets that traverse hop-by-hop from a source to a destination. At each intermediate hop, the router stores...

  • 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...

  • Consumer perceptions of apparel products in Internet shopping

    Creator:
    Kim, Mi-Jung
    Abstract:
    The purpose of the present study was to determine consumer perceptions of apparel products in Internet shopping. According to the existing literature, four categories of perceptions play primary roles for apparel shopping consumer decisions: apparel appearance, apparel comfort, fabric characteristics, and apparel fit. The present study aimed to observe how...

  • 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...
