  • EMD based hybrid models in short term traffic speed forecast

    Creator:
    Liu, Lu
    Abstract:
    Short-term freeway traffic speed prediction is essential to improving mobility and safety. It has been a challenging, yet unresolved issue. Traffic speed prediction can be applied to enhance the intelligent freeway traffic management and control for applications as operational and regulation planning. For example, with more reliable traffic speed prediction,...

  • Effects of Anthropogenic Stressors on Seagrass and Coral Microbiomes

    Creator:
    Wang, Lu
    Abstract:
    Seagrasses and coral reefs play important roles in nutrient cycling, coastal protection, and maintaining marine biodiversity. However, these coastal marine organisms are declining globally due to anthropogenic stressors, such as rising ocean temperatures, ocean acidification, and eutrophication. These organisms live in close association with their microbiomes, which can be beneficial...

  • Nonparametric Estimation of Additive Models with Shape Constraints

    Creator:
    Wang, Lu
    Abstract:
    Monotone additive models are useful in estimating productivity curves or analyzing disease risk where the predictors are known to have monotonic effects on the response. Existing literature mainly focuses on univariate monotone smoothing. Available methods for the estimation of monotone additive models are either difficult to interpret or have no...

  • An Agent-Based Simulation for Emergency Warning Dissemination in a Multiplex Social Network

    Creator:
    Koll, Charles D.
    Abstract:
    The variety of natural disasters provide different sets of characteristics and properties with unique challenges. One significant difference between hazard types is prewarning lead time, the amount of time individuals have from a potential warning to the disaster occurring. Rapid onset disasters may not provide an official warning about a...

  • Investigation of Infrared Absorption of Carbon Dioxide in Metal–Organic Framework Material

    Creator:
    Li, Shiwen
    Abstract:
    Due to the advantages of the high surface area and high porosity, Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) materials are widely used in gas storage. As a typical MOF material, Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 (Zif-8) has high selectivity and adsorption capability of carbon dioxide (CO2). In this thesis, we investigated the infrared absorption of...

  • Stochastic Characterization of Highway Capacity and Its Applications

    Creator:
    Dong, Shangjia
    Abstract:
    Highway capacity has traditionally been treated as deterministic. In reality, however, capacity can vary from time to time and location to location due to inclement weather, various driving behavior, traffic incident, bottleneck and workzone. This thesis aims to characterize the stochastic variations of highway capacity, and explore its applications. The...

  • Decentralized Multiagent Coordination for Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Routing in Congested Networks

    Creator:
    Mostafizi, Alireza
    Abstract:
    In 2017, the cost of congestion in the United States was around 305 billion dollars, and city-dwellers, on average, lost 1400 dollars while sitting 42 hours in traffic jams. Aiming for better mobility and more efficient utilization of the transportation network, emerging connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) technologies and their...

  • Efficient VLSI architectures for MIMO and cryptography systems

    Creator:
    Li, Qingwei
    Abstract:
    Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems have recently been considered as one of the most significant technology breakthroughs for modern wireless communications, due to the higher spectral efficiency and improved link reliability. The sphere decoding algorithm (SDA) has been widely used for maximum likelihood (ML) detection in MIMO systems. It is...

  • Networked Multi-agent Modeling of Connected Vehicles in Mixed Traffic Environment: A Decentralized Consensus Approach

    Creator:
    Wahid, Merih
    Abstract:
    Transportation systems are facing safety and operational challenges with a cost of billions of dollars annually in lost production time and wasted fuel. Infrastructure expansion, previously held as a panacea to most transportation challenges has lost its appeal due to financial, land-use and environmental constraints. Interest is surging in intelligent...

  • Optofluidic Sensing from Inkjet-Printed Droplets on Diatom Biosilica

    Creator:
    Xi, Yuting
    Abstract:
    We explored an optofluidic sensing mechanism from inkjet-printed droplets on diatom biosilica using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Our study revealed a new biosensing strategy that combines the microscopic fluidic flow induced by the droplet evaporation and the photonic crystal effects of diatom frustules, which can provide an ultra-sensitive, cost-effective biosensing...
