Minimizing Classification Energy of Binarized Neural Network Inference for Wearable Devices
(2019-03-25)In this paper, we propose a low-power hardware for efficient deployment of binarized neural networks (BNNs) that have been trained for physiological datasets. BNNs constrain weights and feature-map to 1 bit, can pack in ... -
The Crystal Structure of Klebsiella pneumoniae FeoA Reveals a Site For Protein-Protein Interactions
(2019-01-08)In order to establish infection, pathogenic bacteria must obtain essential nutrients such as iron. Under acidic and/or anaerobic conditions, most bacteria utilize the Feo system in order to acquire ferrous iron (Fe²⁺) from ... -
The SFS Summer Research Study at UMBC: Project-Based Learning Inspires Cybersecurity Students
(2018-11-12)May 30-June 2, 2017, Scholarship for Service (SFS) scholars at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) analyzed the security of a targeted aspect of the UMBC computer systems. During this hands-on study, with ... -
Towards Hiding Adversarial Examples from Network Interpretation
(2018-12-06)Deep networks have been shown to be fooled rather easily using adversarial attack algorithms. Practical methods such as adversarial patches have been shown to be extremely effective in causing misclassification. However, ... -
"Woe is me": Examining Older Adults' Perceptions of Privacy
(ACM, 2019-05-04)We conducted a study of n = 20 older adults to better understand their mental models for what the term 'privacy' means to them in both digital and non-digital contexts. Participants were asked to diagrammatically represent ... -
"Pretty Close to a Must-Have": Balancing Usability Desire and Security Concern in Biometric Adoption
(2019-05-09)We report on a qualitative inquiry among security-expert and non-expert mobile device users about the adoption of biometric authentication using semi-structured interviews(n=38, 19/19 expert/non-expert). Security experts ... -

Effect of coil size on transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) focality
(SPIE, 2019-05-02)In recent years, there is an increasing interest in noninvasive treatments for neurological disorders like Alzheimer and Depression. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is one of the most effective methods used for ... -
Importance of lotus effect on surface sensing
(SPIE, 2019-05-02)Superhydrophobic polymer films are a material of interest for aircraft deicing fluids to achieve the selfcleaning lotus effect. Hydrophobic polymer films were obtained by a solvent selective method composed of hydrophilic ... -
Thermally-induced optical reflection of sound (THORS) for photoacoustic sensing
(SPIE, 2019-05-02)The ability to precisely control and manipulate acoustic waves can be highly limiting in applications and environments where placement of physical barriers for acoustic steering cannot be employed (e.g. tissues, air, etc.) ... -
Effect of processing on morphology of hydroxyapatites: bioactive glasses and crystalline composites
(SPIE, 2019-05-02)Recent studies on multinary oxides for applications as laser hosts and high dielectric capacitors have shown that processing at high temperature provides glassy or crystalline materials based on thermal treatments and ... -
Flexible polyimide based 34-channel electrode arrays for mouse EEG measurement
(SPIE, 2019-05-02)Electroencephalogram (EEG) recording is a widely used method to measure electrical activity in the brain. Rodent EEG brain recording not only is noninvasive but also has the advantages to accomplish full brain monitoring, ... -
Cybersecurity Challenges to American Local Governments
(2017-06-12)In this paper we examine data from the first ever nationwide survey of cybersecurity among American local governments. We are particularly interested in understanding the threats to local government cybersecurity, their ... -
Strong and Weak Scalability Studies for the 2-D Poisson Equation on the Taki 2018 Cluster
(2019)The new 2018 nodes in the cluster taki in the UMBC High Performance Computing Facility contain two 18-core Intel Skylake CPUs and 384 GB of memory per node, connected by an EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) InfiniBand interconnect. ... -
Designing Mobile Interaction Guidelines to Account for Situationally Induced Impairments and Disabilities (SIID) and Severely Constraining Situational Impairments (SCSI)
(2019-04-12)This research investigates the variety and complexity of situational impairment events (SIE) that are being experienced by users of smartphone technology of all abilities. The authors have created a classification system ... -
A comparative study of implicit Jacobian-free Rosenbrock-Wanner, ESDIRK and BDF methods for unsteady flow simulation with high-order flux reconstruction formulations
(2019-04-09)We conduct a comparative study of the Jacobian-free linearly implicit Rosenbrock-Wanner (ROW) methods, the explicit rst stage, singly diagonally implicit Runge-Kutta (ESDIRK) methods, and the second-order backward ... -
Enzyme Modification and Oxidative Crosslinking using Carboxylate-, Phenol-and Catechol-Conjugated 1,8-Naphthalimides
(John Wiley & Sons, 2019-04-16)The ground‐ and excited‐state interactions of β‐alanine, tyrosine and L‐dopa substituted 1,8 naphthalimides (NI‐Ala, NI‐Tyr and NI‐Dopa) with lysozyme and mushroom tyrosinase were evaluated to understand the mechanism of ...
