Energy Efficient Machine Learning-Based Classification of ECG Heartbeat Types
(2018-12-05)To meet the accuracy, latency and energy efficiency requirements during real-time collection and analysis of health data, a distributed edge computing environment is the answer, combined with 5G speeds and modern computing ... -
Energy Performance Study of Heating, Cooling, and Hot Water System Integrated with Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage in Different U.S. Climate Zones
(2020-07-30)An energy performance study of a novel solar thermal-powered heating, cooling, and hot water system, integrated with a latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) system and applied in cities in different climate zones (or ... -
Enforcing Christian Nationalism: Examining the Link Between Group Identity and Punitive Attitudes in the United States
(2016-12-16)I explore how the convergence of one’s religious and national identities influences levels of authoritarian attitudes towards crime and deviance using data from the second wave of the Baylor Religion survey. Drawing on ... -
Enhanced Assessments of Tornado Locations and Damage Using Geospatial Technologies
(2024-05-10)Tornado climatologies represent an important tool for understanding the genesis, behavior, and dissipation of tornados and tornadic storms. The current tornado record is imperfect, but nevertheless useful. I undertook a ... -
ENHANCEMENT OF ZEOLITE CATALYZED REACTIONS FROM WATER CLUSTERS AND BRONSTED SITE PROXIMITY
(2018)Zeolites offer many benefits as a catalyst. The adjustable acid sites in zeolites and its well-defined pore structure allows for a fine-tuning of the catalytic performance. The activity and selectivity of several reactions ... -
Enhancing Multi-purpose mmwave System And W-band Antenna In Package Calibration And Measurements
(2024-05-10)The millimeter-wave (mmWave) scanner is a system built a few years ago by the phased array antenna research and development group (PAARD) in the Advanced Radar Research Center (ARRC) with the purpose of measuring, ... -
Enhancing Performance and Reducing Emissions in Natural Gas Aspirated Engines through Machine Learning Algorithm
(2023-12-15)In an era where the global energy landscape is increasingly defined by the dual imperatives of efficiency and sustainability, the natural gas sector stands at a crucial juncture. The engines powering this sector, especially ... -
The Enigmatic Quaternary Shell Bed Deposits of Lake Tanganyika, Tanzania: Linking Anthropogenic Land-Use with Nearshore Sedimentation
(2017-05)Extensive deposits of carbonate shell-rich sediments in the nearshore environment (< 30 m water depth) of Lake Tanganyika, Africa, form a unique and important habitat for a diversity of endemic crabs, fish, sponges, and ... -
Environmental Conditions Producing Thunderstorms with Anomalous Vertical Polarity of Charge Structure
(2018-05)Electric field soundings and Lightning Mapping Arrays have confirmed the existence of thunderstorms with vertical charge structure that is inverted from the usual polarity. This inverted charge structure can be described ... -
Epizoic Diatom Assemblages on Freshwater Turtles
(2016-05)Although freshwater turtles and their epibiotic hosts are a good model for studying epibiotic interactions (including basking, the effects of turtle species, and geographic variation), information on diatom-turtle relationships ... -
Errors in Creative Problem-Solving: Identify, Deliberate, and Remediate
(2018)It is often assumed creative performance is error free. Even a cursory inspection of eminent, creative, individuals indicates errors permeate creative efforts. In the present effort, we examine the impact of error management ... -
Espacios de violencia y estéticas de lo fantástico en la narrativa de Samanta Schweblin
(2019-05)A la escritora argentina Samanta Schweblin (Buenos Aires, 1978) se le señala insistentemente de ser una escritora de literatura fantástica. En la presente tesis, leo la narrativa de Schweblin en un esfuerzo de descubrir ... -
ESTABLISHMENT OF A RARE RIPARIAN TREE, ALNUS MARITIMA
(2016-12-16)Alnus maritima is a rare, riparian tree species showing no recruitment from seeds. We conducted studies to identify factors potentially limiting establishment. First, we surveyed current known populations to determine ... -
ESTIMATING BRITTLENESS USING SEISMIC DATA IN AN UNCONVENTIONAL SHALE RESERVOIR, FORT WORTH BASIN, NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS
(2017-05-13)Brittleness within unconventional shale plays is a major component in reservoir stimulation. Mineralogy measured in nearby wells estimates brittleness and can be correlated to elastic parameters measured in well logs ... -
Estimating Wave Reduction by Floating-Wetland Breakwaters Using Small-Scale Physical Models
(2020)Wind-induced waves can cause significant erosion on lake shorelines. One solution to this problem is to absorb the waves before they reach the shoreline. Floating breakwaters have been used to reduce waves, but provide ... -
Estimation of Critical Torque Using Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation of the Quadriceps in Humans
(2017-05-12)Critical torque (CT) is an integrative measure/concept that represents the “critical” or upper boundary of steady-state work that can be performed without leading to exhaustive fatigue. While this concept has been observed ... -
Estimation of Relative Permeability in Nanoporous Samples and Modeling of Pressure Transient Response in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs
(2017-12-15)Relative permeability and irreducible saturations of organic-rich shale samples from various formations from different maturity windows are estimated by processing the low-pressure nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements. ... -
