Graduate Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation focuses on advancing carotid artery analysis through a series of visualizations and deep learning tools for calcified plaque assessment and related biomedical imaging tasks. Accurate plaque evaluation is essential, but current workflows depend on slow, clinician-dependent manual review. To address these limitations, this work introduces the CACTAS framework, a set of tools and methods that enable fast and reliable plaque segmentation for clinicians.

The first study, the CACTAS-Tool, provides a web-based labeling tool that enables clinicians to label plaque directly in three dimensions through a streamlined one-click interface. This tool significantly reduces the effort required to generate high-quality …

Does Patient History Influence Capsular Contracture? An Exploratory Analysis With Machine Learning, Thomas M. Johnstone, Daniel Najafali, Jennifer K. Shaw, Justin M. Camacho, Chancellor Johnstone, Rahim S. Nazerali, Gordon K. Lee

Faculty Publications

Background: Capsular contracture (CC) is a frequent and distressing complication of breast augmentation and reconstruction. Although numerous patient-, surgical-, and implant-related risk factors have been proposed, reliable population-level predictors remain inconsistent across studies. This study evaluates whether administrative medical history, as encoded by ICD and CPT codes, contains sufficient predictive signal to identify patients at risk for CC using machine learning. Methods: Patients were queried from the MerativeTM MarketScan® Research Databases from 2003 to 2017 with CPT codes for implant-based breast reconstruction and augmentation. ICD codes were then used to identify all events and conditions of a patient’s history. Hyperparameter-tuned …

Generation Z And The Ai Misinformation Paradox: Understanding A New Digital Vulnerability, Cecilia Cooley, Elizabeth Sperber

DU Undergraduate Research Journal Archive

This paper asks: How and why is Generation Z more vulnerable to AI-generated misinformation and disinformation than older generations? Using a comparative review of recent empirical studies, survey data, and meta-analyses from 2019–2025, this paper synthesizes research on Gen Z’s exposure to and interaction with AI-produced content across social media platforms. Although it is commonly assumed that Gen Z ’s technological exposure and fluency make them better equipped to recognize false information, findings show the opposite: Gen Z is consistently outperformed by older cohorts in detecting AI-generated falsehoods. This vulnerability stems from three intersecting factors: (1) the sheer volume of …

Optimal-Cost Construction Of Shallow Cuttings For 3-D Dominance Ranges In The I/O-Model, Yakov Nekrich, Saladi Rahul

Michigan Tech Publications

Shallow cuttings are a fundamental tool in computational geometry and spatial databases for solving offline and online range searching problems. For a set P of N points in 3-D, at SODA’14, Afshani and Tsakalidis designed an optimal O(N log2 N) time algorithm that constructs shallow cuttings for 3-D dominance ranges in internal memory. Even though shallow cuttings are used in the I/O-model to design space and query efficient range searching data structures, an efficient construction of them is not known till now. In this paper, we design an optimal-cost algorithm to construct shallow cuttings for 3-D dominance ranges. The number …

High-Throughput Robotic Ethanol Inhibition Assays For Engineered Thermophilic Biofuel Strains, Kevin He, Daniel Olson, Marybeth Maloney, Anthony Lanahan

Wetterhahn Science Symposium Posters

Ethanol stress assays are commonly used to evaluate microbial tolerance, metabolic adaptation, and fermentation performance. However, manual liquid handling introduces variability across replicate wells and small-volume pipetting steps, limiting reproducibility and throughput. This study developed an automated OT-2 robotic workflow to generate replicated ethanol concentration gradients for high-throughput inhibition assays in engineered thermophilic biofuel strains. Kinetic plate-reader measurements were used to quantify ethanol-dependent growth responses under anaerobic fermentation conditions. The reasearch question is: How do engineered thermophilic biofuel strains differ in ethanol-dependent growth inhibition under anaerobic fermentation conditions, and can automated robotic assays improve the reproducibility of these measurements? Can …

Classes Of Analytic Functions Defined By Salagean Derivative Operator Associated With Neutrosophic Generalized Poisson Distribution, Soliu O. Opeyemi Okunola, Olushola Adeyemo, Sayo A. Abidemi Gbangbala, Folorunso I. Isola Akinwale

Neutrosophic Systems with Applications

This study introduces and analyses new subclasses of analytic functions by applying the Salagean derivative operator to the Neutrosophic Generalized Poisson Distribution (NGPD) series. We develop a model where the mean parameter is treated as an interval or set to account for indeterminacy in complex systems. By employing Stirling numbers of the second kind and decreasing factorials, we derive necessary and sufficient coefficient inequalities and inclusion relations for these new subclasses. Numerical results and graphical illustrations demonstrate the sensitivity of these functions to orientation and the neutrosophic parameter, providing a framework for applications in fields like medical imaging and network …

Optimization Of A Multi-Item Supply Chain Model With Shortages Under Parametric Type-2 Interval Environments, Sourav Kumar Kumar Giri, Totan Garai, Sahidul Islam, Haridas Mondal, Shariful Alam

Neutrosophic Systems with Applications

Modern supply chain systems frequently operate in environments where demand, costs and inventory-related parameters are uncertain and difficult to estimate accurately. These uncertainties become more critical in multi-objective decision-making situations, where decision makers must simultaneously balance several conflicting goals. Conventional optimization techniques often fail to represent the ambiguity and vagueness present in practical decision environments. To overcome these limitations, this study develops a multi-item supply chain model for a single supplier and a single buyer by incorporating Type-2 interval representations into the modelling framework. The proposed approach introduces a structured set of arithmetic operations for Type-2 intervals to manage uncertain …

Enhanced Population Mean Estimation Using An Exponential Estimator With Known Medians Of Dual Auxiliary Variables Within A Neutrosophic Approach: Applications In Agricultural Yield Prediction, Anchal Yadav, Mukesh Kumar

Neutrosophic Systems with Applications

In classical statistical theory, estimation of population parameters is generally carried out under the assumption that all observed data are precise, complete, and free from ambiguity. However, in many practical and real-world situations, data often deviate from these ideal conditions and instead appear in vague, uncertain, or interval-valued forms. Such imperfections reduce the effectiveness of traditional estimation techniques and motivate the development of more flexible and robust methodologies. To address these challenges, several improved estimators, particularly neutrosophic ratio-type estimators and their advanced extensions, have been proposed in recent literature. In this study, a new estimator known as the two auxiliary …

On Some Properties Of Generalised Regular Anti-Topological Space, Bhimraj Basumatary, Gugu Narzary, Jeevan Krishna Khaklary

Neutrosophic Systems with Applications

This article studies Regular Anti-open sets and Generalised Regular Anti-open sets within a topological framework, addressing the limited development of anti-open structures in generalised topology. We introduce Regular Anti-open sets and establish their fundamental properties. The study is extended by defining Generalised Regular Anti-open sets, providing a broader and more flexible class of sets. Furthermore, the notions of GR-interior and GR-closure are introduced and analyzed, and their essential properties are obtained. The results contribute to a clearer understanding of generalized anti-open structures and provide a basis for further research in topology.

A Goal Programming Approach For Finding The Best Compromise Solution Of Multiobjective Linear Programming Under Neutrosophic Environment, Sultan S. Alodhaibi, Hamiden Abd El- Wahed Khalifa

Neutrosophic Systems with Applications

Decision problems often involve multiple objectives that conflict, making simultaneous optimization impossible. These problems require trade-offs to achieve a solution that balances the competing goals. In this paper, the detailed discussion that is related to linear programming (SVTrNFMOLP) with single valued trapezoidal neutrosophic numbers is made. Furthermore, this study deals with all the related parameters and discussion. As rank function and due to its definition, the SVTrNFMOLP is transformed in the crisp MOLP. It is noticed that goal programming is best to get the best compromise solution. The advantages of the proposed approach are: The use of Tr allows the …

Effects Of Coulomb Collisions On The Structures Of Fast Magnetosonic Shocks, Bo Farnell

Physics and Astronomy Undergraduate Senior Theses

We present fully kinetic particle-in-cell simulations demonstrating qualitative effects of binary Coulomb collisions on fast magnetosonic shocks. We find that with a sufficiently high collisional frequency, shock rippling and reformation can be inhibited, creating stationary, laminar shocks. We see that collisions rapidly bring the reflected population into equilibrium with the upstream population, adding credibility to existing theories that the separation of these two populations create these dynamical behaviors around the shock transition region. We also see that Ohmic heating from Coulomb collisions can suppress instabilities.

All Works

Epilepsy is a persistent neurological disorder that affects over 50 million people worldwide, with nearly one-third of patients remaining unresponsive to conventional therapeutic treatments. This study introduces a progressively adaptive seizure prediction framework designed to enhance early detection and clinical decision-making. The proposed model employs a deep learning strategy grounded in continual learning (CL) principles, using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in combination with knowledge distillation techniques. This enables the model to assimilate new data while retaining previously learned information. The approach was evaluated on the publicly available Bonn University EEG dataset, following a sequential learning process in which each successive …

Finding A Way Out Of The Filter Bubble: The Confusion Of A Heavy Social Media User, Longwen Miao

Masters Theses

This thesis studies how algorithmic recommendation systems reshape visual perception, aesthetic judgment, and the construction of selfhood within contemporary digital culture.

Everything begins with the experience of repeatedly encountering algorithmically recommended content on everyday digital platforms. On these platforms, images, sounds, and social interactions are continuously selected, repeated, and reorganized by predictive systems, forming an environment in which perception is constantly structured and adjusted.

From this observation, the research raises two central questions: how do algorithmic recommendation systems reshape visual perception, aesthetic judgment, and self-recognition, and how might these systems be intervened in or made perceptible through artistic practice? Within …

Journal of System Simulation

To address the issue of low efficiency in generating traditional army tactical combat simulation scenarios, an automated generation method based on large language models is proposed. The large language model invokes a semantic segmentation algorithm to parse and restructure the combat scenario, forming semantic modules. Utilizing a multi-agent collaborative framework based on the model contextual protocol, the large language model drives each agent to extract simulation elements from the corresponding semantic modules, constructing a knowledge graph of scenario elements. Using this knowledge graph as a retrieval medium, the method employs a dense retrieval algorithm to achieve precise matching between simulation …

Journal of System Simulation

In view of the problem that the controller inputs in actual engineering systems are vulnerable to the constraints of dynamical saturation and delayed dynamical saturation, which makes it difficult for the topology identification of complex dynamical networks to adapt to real physical scenarios, a topology identification method based on the drive-response mechanism was proposed. A response network with the same dynamical characteristics and node scale as the original network was constructed, and the dynamical equation of synchronization error between the drive-response networks was established. A controller with dynamical saturation and delayed dynamical saturation and a topology identifier were designed, and …

Journal of System Simulation

To address the challenges of performance degradation, high pilot overhead, and high computational complexity in traditi onal channel estimation methods for integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) assisted MIMO-OFDM systems when radar sensing information contains errors, this paper proposes a robust two-stage sparse channel estimation framework designed to be tolerant of sensing errors. In the first stage, a residual energy weighted simultaneous orthogonal matching pursuit (REW-SOMP) algorithm is designed. Leveraging locally adaptive dictionary expansion and a residual- weighted path selection mechanism, it accurately captures communication-associated paths even under sensing errors. The second stage introduces an adaptive penalty factor alternating direction method …

To address the problems of great difficulty in intelligent decision-making and insufficient dynamism in task planning caused by the complex adversarial environment and strong uncertainty in wargaming tasks, this paper proposed a hierarchical Agent collaborative decision-making framework based on large and small model synergy.Through a multi-level structure, the hierarchical decoupling and dynamic coordination of battlefield tasks were achieved. A memory management module was constructed, and a query optimization mechanism driven by large language models was introduced to dynamically perceive the decision-making process and query intent, completing the semantic reconstruction and context completion of raw queries. A time-driven two-stage task …

Ultra-Short-Term Photovoltaic Power Prediction Based On Improved Patchtst Considering Data Drift, Huawei Mei, Penghui Yang, Yang Yu

Journal of System Simulation

Existing PV power prediction methods often suffer from limited accuracy and robustness due to three key shortcomings: relying on single-point mapping that cannot fully extract local temporal patterns; inadequate exploration of the global temporal dependencies in PV output, and failure to account for prevalent data drift phenomena. To overcome these limitations,an improved patch time series transformer (PatchTST) based approach is proposed for ultra-short-term PV power prediction. The methodology applies rough set theory for feature dimensionality reduction, effectively preserving critical decision information by analyzing both feature-label relationships and inter-feature correlations. An enhanced PatchTST model with a modified channel-independent mechanism extracts …

Sos Effectiveness Evaluation Method Based On Fuzzy Functional Dependency Network Analysis, Hongjia Su, Cheng Zhang, Fei Liu

Journal of System Simulation

Functional dependency network analysis (FDNA) enables modeling functional dependencies among equipment in a system of systems (SoS) and then computing the whole SoS effectiveness based on the effectiveness of each equipment, thus overcoming the deficiency of traditional SoS effectiveness evaluation based on tree-like index systems. However, critical parameters such as strength/criticality of dependency in this methodology currently rely on subjective empirical assignments, where the deviations resulting from subjectivity may compromise the accuracy of effectiveness evaluation. To address this limitation, this paper proposes a fuzzy FDNA (FFDNA)-based SoS effectiveness evaluation method. This method constructs a functional dependency network (FDN) model …

Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning Method For Wargame Simulation Based On Suboptimal Demonstration Guidance, Zicong Zhou, Junjie Zeng, Yue Hu, Zhengqiu Zhu, Quanjun Yin

Journal of System Simulation

To address issues such as fixed behavior patterns and insufficient adaptability in complex adversarial environments exhibited by traditional wargame agent decision-making models, this paper proposes a multi-agent reinforcement learning method based on suboptimal demonstrations (MARLSD). The proposed method integrates reward relabeling with a self-imitation learning mechanism, effectively improving the training efficiency of multi-agent reinforcement learning algorithms in environments with large state-action spaces and sparse rewards, even when only a small number of suboptimal demonstrations are available, while encouraging agents to explore better strategies. Experimental results show that, compared with baselines such as QMIX and MAGAIL, MARLSD significantly improves performance and …
