Enhanced Visual Navigation for Mobile Robots 

West, Brian (2014-05-02)
Navigation solely by vision has been a goal in robotics for many years. It is desirable for a robot to plan and navigate the same way we do naturally as humans; however computation speed, changing illumination, complex ...

Enhancement and Defense of GPS Navigation Using Signal Processing Techniques 

Carson, Nathaniel (2018-02-14)
In this thesis methods of spoo ng prevention are developed to detect, identify, and mitigate an attack against both networked and standalone GPS receivers. A network based detection algorithm is introduced which combines ...

Enhancement and Redevelopment of the Regional Lake Water Quality Model with Applications 

Tasnim, Bushra (2020-08-17)
Water quality is a serious issue in most of the world in the 21st century. Many lakes are impaired with Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs). To provide better lake management and restoration, modeling of lakes is of utmost importance. ...

Enhancement in NaCl aerosol filtration in a filter media through the use of porous fibers with multiscale, multidomain porosities: Unveiling novel filtration mechanisms governed by capillary and thermodynamic forces. 

Poudyal, Amulya (2024-05-01)  ETD File Embargoed
Studying NaCl aerosol filtration holds significant importance for several reasons. It is commonly used as a standard challenge aerosol for testing air filter media because it resembles properties of many airborne particles. ...

Enhancement of Nutrient and Organic Removal from Poultry Litter Using Anaerobic Digestion and Subsequent Algal Growth 

Bankston, Elizabeth (2019-07-12)
Research has indicated anaerobically digesting poultry litter can recover energy and reduce pathogen concentrations, which can be used as a nutrient rich media to support algal growth and simultaneously further treat the ...

Enhancement of Seed Germination and Seedling Growth of Lenten rose 

Moore, Laura (2008-08-15)
The purpose of these studies was to develop methods to increase germination percentage, shorten germination time, provide more synchronous germination, and result in more efficient seed propagation techniques for Lenten ...

Enhancement, Modulation and Electrophysiological Characterization of Murine Olfactory Neurons to Odorant Stimulation in Vitro 

Viswaprakash, Nilmini (2006-05-15)
The objectives of this study is to electrophysiologically characterize cultured olfactory epithelium (OE) and to compare with that of rapidly isolated OE; to establish the Gai involvement in the modulation of adenylyl ...

Enhancing Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis: Investigating Aspect Term Extraction and Annotation Schemes 

Taylor, Gabrielle (2023-08-03)  ETD File Embargoed
We live in an age where there is constantly an increasing need for detailed information. From the company that needs to know what their users are feeling and thinking about their product to another crisis like a global ...

Enhancing Bioanalytical Assays with Photocleavable DNA Strands and Valve-Based Microfluidics 

Bresler Bezerra, Andresa (2024-04-30)  ETD File Embargoed
The detection and quantification of biomarkers, especially in the early stages of diseases, play a crucial role in developing new therapeutics and increasing treatment effectiveness. Hence it is a vital part of advancing ...

Enhancing Brand Loyalty through Brand Experience: Application of Online Flow Theory 

Shim, Soo In (2012-03-29)
Companies strive to increase loyalty to their brand by providing their customers with positive brand-related experiences. However, no published work has investigated how consumers become absorbed in shopping a brand’s ...

Enhancing Children's Shape and Space Ability with Sensory Play 

Wang, Wei (2021-08-04)  ETD File Embargoed
Some people can't imagine what a space will look like after a renovation is finished, can't read a map, or quickly get lost in an unfamiliar place. Some students in high school and middle school have terrible performances ...

Enhancing Expression of Recombinant Hemoproteins: Progress Toward Understanding Structure/Function and Therapeutic Application 

Varnado, Cornelius (2006-08-15)
Nature has developed ways to control the essential need to activate oxygen. Hemoproteins perform this task using iron in a prosthetic group (e.g., iron-protoporphyrin-IX or heme). The environment surrounding the heme iron ...

Enhancing Flash Lifetime in Secondary Storage 

Wang, Chengjun (2011-08-04)
