Team-Based Online Multidisciplinary Education on Big Data + High-Performance Computing + Atmospheric Sciences
(UMBC HPCF, 2020)Given the context of many institutions moving to online instruction due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, we share our experiences of an online team-based multidisciplinary education program on big data + high performance ... -
Theory of Solutions for An Inextensible Cantilever
(2020-05-24)Recent equations of motion for the large deflections of a cantilevered elastic beam are analyzed. In the traditional theory of beam (and plate) large deflections, nonlinear restoring forces are due to the effect of stretching ... -
Throughput studies on an InfiniBand interconnect via all-to-all communications
(Association of Computing Literature (ACM), 2015-04-12)Distributed-memory clusters are the most important type of parallel computer today, and they dominate the TOP500 list. The InfiniBand interconnect is the most popular network for distributed-memory compute clusters. ... -
Time-stepping techniques to enable the simulation of bursting behavior in a physiologically realistic computational islet
(ScienceDirect, 2015-02-14)Physiologically realistic simulations of computational islets of beta cells require the long-time solution of several thousands of coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs), resulting from the combination of several ... -
Tolerance limits under zero‐inflated lognormal and gamma distributions
(Wiley, 2020-05-28)The computation of upper tolerance limits is investigated for the zero‐inflated lognormal distribution and the zero‐inflated gamma distribution, with or without covariates. The methodologies investigated consist of a ... -
Tornado Storm Data Synthesization using Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network: Related Works and Implementation Details
Predicting violent storms and dangerous weather conditions with current models can take a long time due to the immense complexity associated with weather simulation. Machine learning has the potential to classify tornadic ... -
A Unified Approach for Solving Sequential Selection Problems
(2019-05-27)In this paper we develop a unified approach for solving a wide class of sequential selection problems. This class includes, but is not limited to, selection problems with no-information, rank-dependent rewards, and considers ... -

Use of Deep Learning to Classify Compton Camera Based Prompt Gamma Imaging for Proton Radiotherapy
Real-time imaging has potential to greatly increase the effectiveness of proton beam therapy for cancer treatment. One promising method of real-time imaging is the use of a Compton camera to detect prompt gamma rays, which ... -
Using Machine Learning Techniques for Supercell Tornado Prediction with Environmental Sounding Data
Tornadoes pose a forecast challenge to National Weather Service forecasters because of their quick development and potential for life-threatening damage. The use of machine learning in severe weather forecasting has recently ... -
Using Reading Quizzes in STEM Classes—The What, Why, and How
(National Science Teachers Association, 2015)Many active learning pedagogies depend on students' preparing for class in advance. One common method for holding students accountable for this preparation is the use of reading quizzes. When used thoughtfully, reading ... -
Validation of a Model of a Resonant Optothermoacoustic Trace Gas Sensor
(OSA, 2011-06)A model for a resonant optothermoacoustic sensor is validated by comparison with experiments performed with 0.5% acetylene in nitrogen. At low concentrations, the molecular dynamics of the trace gas do not influence the signal. -
Visual Deficits and Dysfunctions Associated with Traumatic Brain Injury: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
(American Academy of Optometry, 2019-05-04)SIGNIFICANCE This study reports prevalence data combined independently for accommodative dysfunction, convergence insufficiency, visual field loss, and visual acuity loss in patients with traumatic brain injury in the ... -
Water Quality Monitoring of Maryland’s Tidal Waterways
(2012)The Chesapeake Bay and its surrounding tributaries are home to over 3,600 species of plants and animals. In order to assess the health of the region, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) monitors various ... -
Weak Solutions for a Poro-elastic Plate System
(2021-03-16)We consider a recent plate model obtained as a scaled limit of the three dimensional Biot system of poro-elasticity. The result is a "2.5" dimensional linear system that couples traditional Euler-Bernoulli plate dynamics ...
