Möbius is an extensible modeling environment used to validate the reliability, availability, security, and performance of computer systems. It provides graphical editors through which users can construct system models or ...

Fat-water separation is a classical problem for in vivo magnetic resonance imaging, with multiple applications both in cases where the aim is the removal of fat signal, as well as in cases where the fat signal itself is ...

This thesis addresses the problem of detecting human emotional expressions by computer from the voice and facial motions of the user. The computer is equipped with a microphone to listen to the user's voice, and a video ...

As the use of the Internet evolves, more and more applications require quality of service constraints such as end-to-end delay requirements, in addition to throughput guarantees. We have developed a framework for rate and ...

Since the advent of the Kinect camera, depth videos have become easily accessible to consumers and researchers, allowing a variety of complex classification tasks to be done more accurately and easily than with RGB videos. ...

This dissertation focuses on efficiently forming reduced-order models for large, linear dynamic systems. Projections onto unions of Krylov subspaces lead to a class of reduced-order models known as rational interpolants. ...

In many speech applications, a single talker is captured in the presence of background noise using a multi-microphone array. Without knowledge of the array geometry, talker location, or the room response, many traditional ...

Firstly, a novel fabrication strategy combining a nano-replica molding technique and a horizontal dipping technique has been demonstrated for the fabrication of solid state organic distributed feedback laser (DFB) biosensors. ...

Cellular metabolism plays a critical role in human health and homeostasis and is implicated in a large number of pathological conditions. While clinical imaging tools have emerged to probe metabolism at the tissue and organ ...

The automation of highways as part of the IVHS program is seen as a way to alleviate congestion on urban highways. This thesis discusses the concept of lane assignment in the context of automated highway systems (AHS). ...
