ScholarWorks@UMBC, a part of MD-SOAR (The Maryland Shared Open Access Repository), collects, preserves, and provides public access to the scholarly output of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). Community members can upload research products for rapid dissemination, global visibility and impact, and long-term preservation.
You can use ScholarWork@UMBC to share and preserve a wide range of research products, such as articles, papers, books, and technical reports. To get started, review our short guide to submitting, here.
All UMBC academic and administrative departments are eligible to have their own unique page set up in the repository for their materials. Departments that don't yet have their own page can contact call 410-455-3021 or e-mail scholarworks-group@umbc.edu to get a page set up.

Efficient Distributed Admission and Revocation using Blockchain for Cooperative ITS
(IEEE, 2018)Cooperative Intelligent Transportation System (C-ITS) enables inter-networking of vehicles for alerts exchanging in order to improve road safety. While this technology is about to enter the market in the upcoming years, ... -
Recent trends in machine learning for human activity recognition—A survey
(Wiley, 2018)There has been an upsurge recently in investigating machine learning techniques for Activity Recognition (AR) problems as that have been very effective in extracting and learn-ing knowledge from the activity datasets. The ... -
Engineering a Simplified 0-Bit Consistent Weighted Sampling
(Arxiv, 2018)The Min-Hashing approach to sketching has become an important tool in data analysis, search, and classification. To apply it to real-valued datasets, the ICWS algorithm has become a seminal approach that is widely used, ... -
High fat diet and leptin promote tumor progression by inducing myeloid-derived suppressor cells
(Wiley, 2018)Obesity is a risk factor for cancer incidence and cancer mortality. The association of obesity and cancer is attributed to multiple factors, but the tightest linkage is with the chronic, low‐grade inflammation that accompanies ... -
Polarization-filtering and polarization-maintaining low-loss negative curvature fibers
(Optical Society of America, 2018)We propose a polarization-filtering and polarization-maintaining negative curvature fiber in which two nested resonant tubes are added to a standard negative curvature fiber with one ring of tubes. The coupling between the ... -
CD3xPDL1 bi-specific T cell engager (BiTE) simultaneously activates T cells and NKT cells, kills PDL1⁺ tumor cells, and extends the survival of tumor-bearing humanized mice
(Oncotarget, 2017)Bi-specific T cell engagers (BiTEs) activate T cells through CD3 and target activated T cells to tumor-expressed antigens. BiTEs have shown therapeutic efficacy in patients with liquid tumors; however, they do not benefit ... -
Retrieval of aerosol properties and water-leaving reflectance from multi-angular polarimetric measurements over coastal waters
(The Optical Society, 2018)Ocean color remote sensing is an important tool to monitor water quality and biogeochemical conditions of ocean. Atmospheric correction, which obtains water-leaving radiance from the total radiance measured by satellite-borne ... -
Soluble CD80 Protein Delays Tumor Growth and Promotes Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes
(American Association of Cancer Research, 2018-01)Tumor cells use various immune-suppressive strategies to overcome antitumor immunity. One such method is tumor expression of programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1), which triggers apoptotic death or anergy upon binding programmed ... -
The Conservation Ideological State Apparatus
(Conservation & Society, 2018)This article considers Louis Althusser's theory of the ideological state apparatuses (ISAs) for advancing political ecology scholarship on the functioning of the state in violent environments. I reflect on a series of ... -
Minimal dissipation in processes far from equilibrium
(2018)central goal of thermodynamics is to identify optimal processes during which the least amount of energy is dissipated into the environment. Generally, even for simple systems, such as the parametric harmonic oscillator, ... -
Cinderella Story? It’s True for U.M.B.C. in Academics, Too

Effects of delay fading and signals on self‐control choices by children
The current study is a systematic replication and extension of work by Schweitzer & Sulzer‐Azaroff (1988). The effects of delay fading alone and in combination with signals on choices between larger, delayed reinforcers ... -
MULTIGRID PRECONDITIONERS FOR THE NEWTON-KRYLOV METHOD IN THE OPTIMAL CONTROL OF THE STATIONARY NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS
(2018)In this work we construct multigrid preconditioners to be used in the Newton-Krylov method for a distributed optimal control problem constrained by the stationary Navier-Stokes equations. These preconditioners are shown ... -
An IR Sounding-Based Analysis of the Saharan Air Layer in North Africa
(2018)• Evaluated AIRS SAL detection potential given porous radiosonde network (2002–2016) • AIRS vs AIRS/AMSU WML detection rates within 5% • WML: Potent seasonal cycle, best resolved by AIRS • SAL Frequency: Well-matched ... -
ATP and Odor Mixture Activate TRPM5-Expressing Microvillous Cells and Potentially Induce Acetylcholine Release to Enhance Supporting Cell Endocytosis in Mouse Main Olfactory Epithelium
(Frontier, 2018)The main olfactory epithelium (MOE) functions to detect odor molecules, provide an epithelial surface barrier, and remove xenobiotics from inhaled air. Mechanisms coordinating the activities of different cell types within ... -
Maryland Computing Education Expansion: From Grassroots to the MCCE
(ACM, 2018)Over the past five years, computing education initiatives in Maryland have expanded to include pre-K through college with a focus on broadening participation among female and minority students. A grassroots movement has ... -
A Model for Increasing Gender Diversity in Technology
(ACM, 2018)At our university, women are a minority in all computing and engineering majors. This situation is mirrored at other universities nationwide, as well as in technical industries. Stereotype threat, the risk of confirming ... -
Carrier Dynamics, Optical Gain, and Lasing with Colloidal Quantum Wells
(ACS Publicaions, 2018)The most recent class of semiconductor nanocrystal to be synthesized colloidally is the quantum well, in which carriers are confined quantum mechanically in only one dimension. Electrons and holes in colloidal quantum wells ... -
Enhancing spatial query results using semantics and multiplex networks
(HETERONAM, 2018)Geographic information retrieval (GIR) research mainly focuses on finding relevant geographic artifacts along one layer, although answers to queries should preferably include artifacts across multiple layers.This paper ... -
Revisiting Critical GIS
(Sage, 2015)The article looks into the critical geographic information science (GIS) in approaching questions both emerging and enduring around the intersection of the spatial and the digital. It offers trading zones for discussion ...
