New techniques for clustering, selection of number of histogram bins, and estimation of quantiles of pairwise distances
(2011-12)
The emulation of Gestalt Laws was required for a proposed knowledge-based inference driven vision system. Emulating the Proximity gestalt law required a clustering technique that worked without: (a) the need for any input ...
X-ray diffraction analysis of residual stress in zirconia dental composites
(2012-12)
Dental restoration ceramic is a complex system to be characterized. Beside its essential biocompatibility, and pleasant appearance, it requires being mechanically strong in a catastrophic loading environment. Any design ...
Nanoscale carbon fiber-matrix interphase characterization with atomic force microscopy indentation
(2014-05)
At the region between fiber and matrix in a composite there is a region called interphase region, which basically has different properties than bulk matrix and fiber. This region is responsible for the loads transfer from ...
Improved hydronic loop system solution algorithm with a zone-coupled horizontal ground heat exchanger model for whole building energy simulation
(2013-05)
Whole building energy simulation is a simulation platform which includes any number of aspects of a building. These tools are generally capable of simulating zones, air systems, hydronic systems, electric generation systems, ...
Modeling of standing column wells in ground source heat pump systems
(2004-12)
The need for alternative low-cost energy sources has given rise to the development of ground source heat pump systems for residential and commercial heating and cooling applications. Standing column wells can be used as ...
Improved saliency mechanism for computer vision
(2013-07)
The objective of this project is to find an efficient biologically plausible model for the bottom-up saliency mechanism of the human vision system (HVS) and employ it in computer vision applications. In practice, analyzing ...
Fabrication of fine grained SiC and SiC-exfoliated graphene nanocomposites using spark plasma sintering of polymer derived SiC
(2014-07)
In spite of excellent thermo-mechanical properties of silicon carbide (SiC), its application is limited due to its inherent brittle nature. Inclusion of a high strength and high modulus second phase can potentially improve ...
