Machine Learning Approaches for Disease State Classification from Neuroimaging Data 

Wang, Peng (2013-05-01)
Automated recognition and classification of brain diseases are of tremendous value to society. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a diverse spectrum disorder whose clinical diagnosis is based on behavior. ...

Machine Learning Based Approach Using Electromyography to Predict Joint Angles of the Knee 

Coker, Jordan (2020-07-13)
In order for an active exoskeleton and its user to achieve synchronous motion, the intended motion of the user needs to be detected with enough lead-time to process and move the exoskeleton accordingly. This must also ...

MACHINE LEARNING BASED MINERAL CHARACTERIZATION FROM PORE TO CORE SCALE AND IMPLICATIONS FOR GEOCHEMICAL REACTIVITY 

Asadi, Parisa (2022-11-29)
Geological formations have great potential for large-scale carbon sequestration to reduce the net rate of increase in atmospheric CO2. In these systems, CO2 is injected into formations and mineralized through geochemical ...

Machine learning-based additive manufacturing process optimization and quality prediction with photomicrography and tomography 

Ye, Jiafeng (2023-08-03)  ETD File Embargoed
Process optimization and quality prediction are essential for promoting manufacturing quality and improving product reliability in Additive manufacturing (AM). However, the complex multi-physics processes of AM, involving ...

A Machine Vision and Sensing System for Braid Defect Detection, Diagnosis and Prevention During Manufacture 

Branscomb, David (2007-12-15)
The mechanical properties of braids are often quite convenient for achieving the high performance levels expected of composite materials. A favorable attribute of a braided structure is the ability for the design engineer ...

MACN: Map-Aided Cooperative Inertial Navigation 

Cofield, Robert (2020-05-18)
This thesis presents an inertial navigation system (INS) that leverages the global positioning system (GPS) and a sparse road network database to cooperatively localize ground vehicles within close proximity to one another. ...

Macro-propagation of native cane (Arundinaria spp.) in central Kentucky and restoration out-plantings in western Tennessee and southern Alabama. 

Conley, Rachel (2015-07-23)
Canebrakes, monodominant stands of native bamboo (Arundinaria spp.; hereafter cane), are a critically endangered ecosystem in the Southeastern United States. Canebrakes have declined to <2% of their former range from ...

Macrophage CXCR7: A Potential New Target for Atherosclerosis 

Ma, Wanshu (2013-07-15)
Objective—The discovery of CXCR7 as a new receptor for SDF-1 places many previously described SDF-1 functions attributed to CXCR4 in question, though whether CXCR7 acts as a signaling or “decoy” receptor has been in debate. ...

Magma evolution and processes of the Ashi Volcano, NW Tibet, China: Sr isotope studies of plagioclase crystals 

Speetjens, Sara (2018-04-27)
The Ashi Volcano is a member of the Ashikule Volcanic Field (AVF) and is located on the northwestern margin of the Tibetan Plateau. The Ashi Volcano draws much attention from volcanologists due to its recent eruptions in ...

Magmatic Processes and Conditions of Ashikule Volcanic Cluster, NW Tibetan Plateau 

Speetjens, Sara (2023-11-21)  ETD File Embargoed
Although magmatism at mid-ocean ridges and subduction zones are reasonably well understood, our understanding of magmatic processes beneath thick continental plateaus is lacking. On the northwestern Tibetan Plateau, the ...
