A Targeted Study On The Match Between Cybersecurity Higher Education Offerings And Workforce Needs, Diane Murphy, Nektaria Tryfona, Andrew M. Marshall Apr 2023

A Targeted Study On The Match Between Cybersecurity Higher Education Offerings And Workforce Needs, Diane Murphy, Nektaria Tryfona, Andrew M. Marshall

Virginia Journal of Science

The Cybersecurity Workforce Gap is a call to action on a two-fold problem: the worldwide shortage of qualified cybersecurity workers and the need to develop a growing highly-knowledgeable, agile, well-trained cybersecurity workforce. This paper presents a methodological approach to achieve this goal in the Northern Virginia area. The area is characterized by an abundance of cyber-related industries, government agencies, and large businesses with high demand of skilled cybersecurity workers; at the same time, academic institutions offer cutting edge education and training access to highly capable students. Central to this methodology is the collaboration between local academia and industry and it …

Quantum Computing And Its Applications In Healthcare, Vu Giang

OUR Journal: ODU Undergraduate Research Journal

This paper serves as a review of the state of quantum computing and its application in healthcare. The various avenues for how quantum computing can be applied to healthcare is discussed here along with the conversation about the limitations of the technology. With more and more efforts put into the development of these computers, its future is promising with the endeavors of furthering healthcare and various other industries.


An Adaptive Algorithm For `The Secretary Problem': Alternate Proof Of The Divergence Of A Maximizer Sequence, Andrew Benfante, Xiang Xu Jan 2023

An Adaptive Algorithm For `The Secretary Problem': Alternate Proof Of The Divergence Of A Maximizer Sequence, Andrew Benfante, Xiang Xu

OUR Journal: ODU Undergraduate Research Journal

This paper presents an alternate proof of the divergence of the unique maximizer sequence {π‘₯βˆ— 𝑛} of a function sequence {𝐹𝑛(π‘₯)} that is derived from an adaptive algorithm based on the now classic optimal stopping problem, known by many names but here β€˜the secretary problem’. The alternate proof uses a result established by Nguyen, Xu, and Zhao (n.d.) regarding the uniqueness of maximizer points of a generalized function sequence {π‘†πœ‡,𝜎 𝑛 } and relies on the strict monotonicity of 𝐹𝑛(π‘₯) as 𝑛 increases in order to show divergence of {π‘₯βˆ— 𝑛}. Towards this, limits of the exponentiated Gaussian CDF are …


Covid-19 Crowd Detection, Mustafa Ibrahim, Aly M. Zeineldin, Yameen Khan, Ayman Elmesalami, Soad Ibrahim Jan 2023

Object detection was introduced by researchers for face detection. Researchers explain how the detected face is divided into minor frames to be recognized by the algorithm. Due to COVID-19 and government regulations, many people face problems going to shopping centers and shop safely. It has been very hard for both the government and the people to manage social distancing. In our study, we developed a system using Raspberry Pi-4 that will detect the distance between people along with counting the number of distance and mask violations. An error message will appear on the screen in red, showing the total number …
