On Planar Embeddings of the Knaster V Lambda-Continuum 

Ozbolt, Joseph (2020-07-21)
A\v nusi\'c, Bruin, and \v Cin\v c have asked in \cite{Anusic2} which hereditarily decomposable chainable continua (HDCC) have uncountably many mutually inequivalent planar embeddings. It was noted, as per the embedding ...

On Secure Media Streaming with Path Diversity in MANETs 

Chen, Lei (2007-08-15)
To provide reliable and secure media streaming is quite challenging in the environment of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) in which wireless signals are exposed in air and the quality of media streaming is degraded by ...

On the Adversarial Robustness of Machine Learning Models on Multi-Graph Scenarios 

Zhang, Zijie (2023-07-27)
In this work, we study the the task of graph matching under several scenarios in an adversarial context. Despite achieving remarkable performance, deep learning based graph matching still suffers from harassment caused by ...

On the Classification of Intermediate Range Missiles During Launch 

Eckert, Jordan (2020-05-13)
This thesis explores the comparisons and contrasts of different statistical method approaches to a missile system classification which is sufficiently rapid to be suitable for use during engagement. It is meant to extend ...

On the Conjugacy Theorems of Cartan and Borel Subalgebras 

Thompson, Mary Clair (2010-04-09)
We study the conjugacy theorems of Cartan subalgebras and Borel subalgebras of general Lie algebras. We present a history of the problem, along with two proofs of the theorems which stay completely within the realm of ...

On the Countable Dense Homogeneity of Euclidean Spaces 

Gay, Randall (2015-04-20)
A countable dense homogeneous space, in a general sense, is a topological space in which any two countable dense subsets of the space are "dispersed" the same way. In this thesis, we will show that some very well-known ...

On the derivation algebras of parabolic Lie algebras with applications to zero product determined algebras 

Brice, Daniel (2014-07-11)
This dissertation builds upon and extends previous work completed by the author and his advisor in [5]. A Lie algebra g is said to be zero product determined if for each bilinear map φ: g × g → V that satisfies φ(x, y) = ...

On the Design, Synthesis, and Radiation Effect Prevention of a 6U Deep Space CubeSat 

Halvorson, Michael (2020-11-24)
The Alabama Space Grant Consortium initiated a workforce development program across seven universities to build a 6U CubeSat with an astrophysics payload. The science mission, an investigation on the efficacy of augmented ...

On the development of a Neural Radiance Field technique for tomographic reconstruction applied to flow diagnostics 

Kelly, Dustin (2024-04-25)
In this work, a novel neural implicit representation tomography algorithm based on Neural Radiance Fields is developed and demonstrated for 3D flow diagnostics. Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) originate from the computer ...

On the Development of a Volumetric Velocimetry Technique using Multiple Plenoptic Cameras 

Fahringer, Timothy Jr (2018-08-29)
Plenoptic PIV was recently introduced as a viable three-dimensional, three-component velocimetry technique based on light field cameras. One of the main benefits of this technique is its single camera configuration allowing ...

On the existence of even and k-divisible-matchings 

Moore, Emilia (2008-05-15)
The concept of an an even matching was first introduced by Billington and Hoffman. They were used to find gregarious 4-cycle decompositions of $K_{8t(a),b}$ with a and b odd. Their paper contains even matchings of type ...

On the Growth of Polynomials and Entire Functions of Exponential Type 

Harden, Lisa (2004-12-15)
Concerning the growth of a polynomial and its derivative, the following inequalities are well known as Bernstein Inequalities. max(|z|=R) |p(z)| <= max(|z|=1) |p(z)|R^n, for R >= 1, (1) max(|z|=1) |p0(z)| <= max(|z|=1) ...

On the Independence Number of Some Hypergraph 

Yang, Zechun (2018-07-10)
For integers 1 =< m < n and a prime p (we require 2 =< m when p = 2), a subset I(p^n; p^m) ={0,...,p^n-1} is described which contains no pm-term cyclic arithmetic progression modulo p^n, and which is maximal among subsets ...

On the influence of landscape-scale factors on stream ecosystems and macroinvertebrate assemblages in the southeastern USA: an examination of alternative statistical methods and case studies. 

Schneid, Brad (2015-07-23)
The influence of land cover on stream ecosystems has increasingly been the focus of research in a variety of fields, including ecology, hydrology, and engineering. Human-altered land cover can increase overland storm ...

On The Lattice Boltzmann Method: Implementation and Applications 

Jin, Kang (2008-12-15)
We studied the development and different types of the Lattice Boltzmann method. We gave several implementations. Then we presented two moving boundary treatments for the Lattice Boltzmann method, the second one is new. We ...

On the Machine Illusion 

Gong, Zhitao (2019-10-14)
In this work, we empirically study an emerging problem in the machine learning community, i.e., the adversarial samples. Specifically, we focus on the discussion within the realm of neural networks. The existence of ...

On The Number of Cylinders Touching a Sphere 

Yardimci, Osman (2019-06-14)
The kissing number problem is a packing problem in geometry where one has to fi nd the maximum number of congruent non-overlapping copies of a given body so that they can be arranged each touching a common copy. The ...

On the Relationship between Criminal History and Racial Discrimination in Labor Markets: Evidence from the Field 

Griffin, Joshua (2013-07-23)
It has been shown in the literature that any contact at all with the criminal justice system presents an individual with a significant challenge in obtaining employment. It has also been shown that African-Americans are ...
