A Formal Framework For Disaster Risk Properties, Shirly Stephen, Mark Schildhauer, Kitty Currier, Pascal Hitzler, Cogan Shimizu, Krzysztof Janowicz, Dean Rehberger Jan 2023

A Formal Framework For Disaster Risk Properties, Shirly Stephen, Mark Schildhauer, Kitty Currier, Pascal Hitzler, Cogan Shimizu, Krzysztof Janowicz, Dean Rehberger

Computer Science and Engineering Faculty Publications

Disaster risk properties (or disaster variables) such as intensity, exposure, severity, vulnerability, resilience, and capacity are significant because they provide essential information for understanding and managing disaster risk and cascading effects. While there are an increasing number of datasets that record these properties based on different criteria, such as regional levels (e.g., community resilience at counties vs. census tracts), thematic levels (e.g., social vulnerability based on race vs. socioeconomic status), or even for different hazard types (e.g., disaster risk for earthquakes vs. hurricanes), we lack a formal model that captures the semantics of these properties, i.e., their interactions with one …

A Pattern For Modeling Computational Observations, Cogan Shimizu, Pascal Hitzler, Charles F. Vardeman Jan 2023

A Pattern For Modeling Computational Observations, Cogan Shimizu, Pascal Hitzler, Charles F. Vardeman

Computer Science and Engineering Faculty Publications

Knowledge graphs (KG) are an established method for heterogeneous data integration and have begun powering complex software agents. However, it is important to understand where the data in the knowledge graph originates, especially within the context of synthetic research agents and other trustworthy AI systems. In this paper, we propose an ontology design pattern for tracking the provenance and context of computational observations, as well as a proposing a supporting, simplified conceptual framework for modeling abstract and concrete versions of the same underlying notion.

People often value the sensual, celebratory, and health aspects of food, but behind this experience exists many other value-laden agricultural production, distribution, manufacturing, and physiological processes that support or undermine a healthy population. The complexity of such processes is evident in both every-day food preparation of recipes and in industrial food manufacturing, packaging and storage. An integrated ontology landscape does not yet exist to cover all the entities at work in this farm to fork journey. It seems necessary to construct such a vision by reusing expert-curated fit-to-purpose ontology subdomains. The challenge is to make this merger be, by analogy, …

Direct Parameter Fitting Of Action Potentials In Skeletal Muscle Cells Which Include Longitudinal Segments, Tyme Suda Jan 2023

Direct Parameter Fitting Of Action Potentials In Skeletal Muscle Cells Which Include Longitudinal Segments, Tyme Suda

Browse all Theses and Dissertations

Excitation of skeletal muscle cells triggers a large voltage spike known as an action potential (AP), leading to muscle contraction. Modeling of an AP is typically done using the method developed by scientists Hodgkin and Huxley (HH). In the HH method, voltage and time gated Na+ and K+ ionic currents are simulated, along with a positive “Leak” ionic current and capacitive current. Due to the complexity and the computational time required for simulation, direct fitting of HH parameters to experimental APs has rarely been attempted. A previous thesis at Wright State performed direct fitting for the case of a single …

Environmental Toxicants And Human B Cells: Insights From Crispr Editing And Genomic Sequencing, Clayton Allex-Buckner Jan 2023

Environmental Toxicants And Human B Cells: Insights From Crispr Editing And Genomic Sequencing, Clayton Allex-Buckner

Browse all Theses and Dissertations

The human immunoglobulin heavy chain gene locus (IGH) has two 3 prime regulatory regions (3’IGHRR), each containing three enhancers (hs3, hs1.2, hs4). In animal models, the 3’IghRR regulates IgH expression and class switch recombination (CSR) to different Ig isotypes. The 3’IGHRR hs1.2 enhancer in humans is polymorphic in that an invariant sequence (IS) can be repeated one to four times in tandem. The hs1.2 polymorphism is of interest due to its association with several human autoimmune disorders and its potential sensitivity to exogenous substances such as 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD or dioxin). In mouse models, TCDD inhibits the hs1.2 enhancer and 3’IghRR …

Data-Driven Strategies For Pain Management In Patients With Sickle Cell Disease, Swati Padhee

Browse all Theses and Dissertations

This research explores data-driven AI techniques to extract insights from relevant medical data for pain management in patients with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). SCD is an inherited red blood cell disorder that can cause a multitude of complications throughout an individual’s life. Most patients with SCD experience repeated, unpredictable episodes of severe pain. Arguably, the most challenging aspect of treating pain episodes in SCD is assessing and interpreting the patient’s pain intensity level due to the subjective nature of pain. In this study, we leverage multiple data-driven AI techniques to improve pain management in patients with SCD. The proposed approaches …

Application Of Genomic Compression Techniques For Efficient Storage Of Captured Network Traffic Packets, James Alfred Loving

CCAC Theses and Dissertations

In cybersecurity, one of most important forensic tools are audit files; they contain a record of cyber events that occur on systems throughout the enterprise. Threats to an enterprise have become one of the top concerns of IT professionals world-wide. Although there are various approaches to detect anomalous insider behavior, these approaches are not always able to detect advanced persistent threats or even exfiltration of sensitive data by insiders. The issue is the volume of network data required to identify this anomalous activity. It has been estimated that an average corporate user creates a minimum of 1.5 MB audit data …

R-Symmetries And Curvature Constraints In A-Twisted Heterotic Landau–Ginzburg Models, Richard S. Garavuso Jan 2023

R-Symmetries And Curvature Constraints In A-Twisted Heterotic Landau–Ginzburg Models, Richard S. Garavuso

Publications and Research

In this paper, we discuss various aspects of a class of A-twisted heterotic Landau–Ginzburg models on a Kähler variety X. We provide a classification of the R-symmetries in these models which allow the A-twist to be implemented, focusing on the case in which the gauge bundle is either a deformation of the tangent bundle of X or a deformation of a sub-bundle of the tangent bundle of X. Some anomaly-free examples are provided. The curvature constraint imposed by supersymmetry in these models when the superpotential is not holomorphic is reviewed. Constraints of this nature have been used to establish properties …

Emotions In Engineering Education (Chapter 8), James L. Huff Ph.D., Johanna Lonngren, Ines Dirieto, Roland Tormey Jan 2023

Emotions In Engineering Education (Chapter 8), James L. Huff Ph.D., Johanna Lonngren, Ines Dirieto, Roland Tormey

Faculty Research and Publications

Contrary to common stereotypes, engineering education and practice are not purely rational activities. Emotions, just like cognition, play important roles in teaching, learning, and professional practice. Today, there is a nascent body of research exploring emotions in engineering education (EEE). However, much of the existing research does not adequately theorize emotions, and the range of theories and methods used is still relatively narrow. With this chapter, we hope to inspire more investigators to conduct EEE research and to explore currently underutilized theories, methods, and research foci. This chapter introduces the reader to the multidisciplinary field of emotion research, then focus …
