  • Spectroscopic and Structural Characterization of Farnesoid X Receptor Agonists and Antagonists

    Creator:
    Chang, Xiao Lan
    Abstract:
    Farensoid X Receptor (FXR) is a very flavoring protein for the treatment and prevention of the many conditions related to metabolic syndrome. Our experiment explores the binding activities of FXR when introduced to various natural and synthetic ligands. Currently, an initial assay showing the Stern-Volmer relationship of our date supports...

  • 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-...

  • Large Scale Tensor Decomposition Algorithms Using Block-randomized Stochastic Proximal Gradient

    Creator:
    Gao, Cheng
    Abstract:
    We consider the problem of computing the cannonical polyadic decomposition (CPD) for large-scale dense tensors. This work is a combination of alternating least squares and fiber sampling. Data sparsity can be leveraged to handle large tensor CPD, but this route is not feasible for dense data. Inspired by stochastic optimization's...

  • Local Signal Detection on Irregular Domains via Bivariate Spline

    Creator:
    Yang, Miao
    Abstract:
    Local signal detection is useful in many scientific areas such as imaging processing and speech recognition, for extracting meaningful patterns from noisy signals. In this dissertation, we study estimation and local signal detection for spatial data distributed over irregular domains. In particular, we use bivariate splines defined on triangulations to...

  • Variable selection in semi-parametric models

    Creator:
    Jiang, Shuping
    Abstract:
    We consider two semiparametric regression models for data analysis, the stochastic additive model (SAM) for nonlinear time series data and the additive coefficient model (ACM) for randomly sampled data with nonparametric structure. We employ the SCAD-penalized polynomial spline estimation method for estimation and simultaneous variable selection in both models. It...

  • Local Signal Detection on Irregular Domains with Spatially Varying Coefficient Model

    Creator:
    Zhang, Chengzhu
    Abstract:
    In areas such as spatial analysis and time series analysis, it is essential to understand and quantify spatial or temporal heterogeneity. In this dissertation, we focus on a spatially varying coefficient model, in which spatial heterogeneity is accommodated by allowing the regression coefficients to vary in a given spatial domain....

  • Behavior-based mobility prediction for fast handoffs in wireless LANs

    Creator:
    Wanalertlak, Weetit
    Abstract:
    Wireless Networks have been widely adopted into a major part of today's network infrastructure. They have become a popular technology to not only expand the coverage of wired networks but also to interconnect a large wireless network, i.e., wireless mesh networks. As they allow more flexible communication than traditional wired-networks...

  • HiNoVa: A Novel Open-Set Detection Method for Automating RF Device Authentication

    Creator:
    Puppo, Luke
    Abstract:
    New capabilities in wireless network security are now possible through deep learning, which can identify and leverage patterns in radio frequency (RF) data. One area of deep learning, known as open set detection, is focused on detecting data instances from new devices encountered during deployment that were not previously seen...

  • Clothing evaluative criteria : a comparison between hedonic shoppers and utilitarian shoppers

    Creator:
    Yeh, Chun-Lan
    Abstract:
    According to Engel, Blackwell, and Miniard (1993), evaluative criteria is defined as "the standards and specifications used by consumers to compare different products and brands" (p.51). Many studies have investigated factors that might influence the importance of clothing evaluative criteria used by consumers in the decision making process. However, few...

  • Disaggregating Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Health Data: Cardiovascular Health, Neighborhood Factors, and Socioeconomic Disadvantage Among Older Adults

    Creator:
    Đoàn, Lan N.
    Abstract:
    Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality in the United States (US) and research suggests that CVD morbidity and mortality disproportionately impacts Asian American and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) older adults. However, the prevalence on CVD and underlying mechanisms for CVD disparities among disaggregated Asian American...
