Firearm Detection Using Wrist Worn Tri-Axis Accelerometer Signals
Gunshot detection traditionally has been a task performed with acoustic signal processing. While this type of detection can give cities, civil services and training institutes a method to identify specific locations of ... -
Stability of cnoidal wave frequency combs in microresonators
(OSA Publishing, 2018)We determine the regions in the parameter space of microresonators where cnoidal waves (Turing rolls) are stable. Solitons are included as a special limit. We identify conditions to efficiently obtain broadband frequency combs. -
Design and experimental results of the 1-T Bitter Electromagnet Testing Apparatus (BETA)
(AIP, 2018-05)The Bitter Electromagnet Testing Apparatus (BETA) is a 1-Tesla (T) technical prototype of the 10 T Adjustable Long Pulsed High-Field Apparatus. BETA’s final design specifications are highlighted in this paper which include ... -
How Do We Talk Ourselves Into These Things? Challenges with Adoption of Biometric Authentication for Expert and Non-Expert Users
(ACM, 2018)Biometric authentication offers promise for mobile security, but its adoption can be controversial, both from a usability and security perspective. We describe a preliminary study, comparing recollections of biometric ... -
Towards Supporting Mobile Device Users Facing Severely Constraining Situational Impairments
(ACM, 2018)A subset of “Situationally Induced Impairments and Disabilities” (SIID), termed “Severely Constraining Situational Impairments” (SCSI), was explored at the user task and motivational level, to better understand the challenges ... -
Kapton Polyimide-Based EEG Microelectrode Array and Interfaces for Mice Brainwave Recordings and Analysis
(SPIE, 2018)There is a rise in the study of functional connectivity among various cortical regions and investigations to uncover causal links between a stimulus and the corresponding neural dynamics through electrophysiological imaging ... -
Multimodal Data Fusion: An Overview of Methods, Challenges and Prospects
(IEEE, 2015)In various disciplines, information about the same phenomenon can be acquired from different types of detectors, at different conditions, in multiple experiments or subjects, among others. We use the term “modality” for ... -
Application of Graph Theory to Assess Static and Dynamic Brain Connectivity: Approaches for Building Brain Graphs
(IEEE, 2018)Abstract: Human brain connectivity is complex. Graph-theory-based analysis has become a powerful and popular approach for analyzing brain imaging data, largely because of its potential to quantitatively illuminate the ... -
Automatically Infer Human Traits and Behavior from Social Media Data
(2018)Given the complexity of human minds and their behavioral flexibility, it requires sophisticated data analysis to sift through a large amount of human behavioral evidence to model human minds and to predict human behavior. ... -
Enhanced biochars can match activated carbon performance in sediments with high native bioavailability and low final porewater PCB concentrations
(Elsevier, 2018)A bench scale study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of in situ amendments to reduce the bioavailability of pollutants in sediments from a site impacted with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic ... -
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, ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Simulation of multi-pulse coaxial helicity injection in the Sustained Spheromak Physics Experiment
(AIP Publishing, 2017)Nonlinear, numerical computation with the NIMROD code is used to explore magnetic self-organization during multi-pulse coaxial helicity injection in the Sustained Spheromak Physics eXperiment. We describe multiple distinct ... -
Improving the recombinant human erythropoietin glycosylationusing microsome supplementation in CHO cell-free system
(Wiley, 2018)Cell-Free Protein Synthesis (CFPS) offers many advantages for the production of recombinant therapeutic proteins using the HO cell-free system. However, many complex proteins are still difficult to express using this method. ...
