Impact Of Adaptive Filtering-Based Noise Reduction On The Quality Of F-C Images In Masw, Doğukan Durdağ Nov 2025

Impact Of Adaptive Filtering-Based Noise Reduction On The Quality Of F-C Images In Masw, Doğukan Durdağ

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

This study investigates the effects of adaptive filtering, based on the least mean square algorithm, on the quality of multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) data and frequency-phase velocity (f-c) images. Specifically, the adaptive filtering method aims to decrease the noise and improve the determination of fundamental modes in f-c images. Both sample and field seismic data with varying noise levels were evaluated using adaptive filtering, resulting in significant improvements in f-c image quality. The filtered data displayed a wider frequency range of f-c images, and reduced noise compared to the original noisy data. Based on these findings, adaptive filtering …


Meshed Trees: A Framework For Resilient Network Algorithms And Protocols, Peter Willis Nov 2025

Meshed Trees: A Framework For Resilient Network Algorithms And Protocols, Peter Willis

Theses

The continued growth of computer networks in both size and complexity presents challenges for the control protocols that are tasked with maintaining optimal data-forwarding paths. These protocols commonly rely on shortest-path algorithms to determine where network data should be propagated and how it should be analyzed for inclusion in forwarding tables. However, problems arise during reconvergence, the process in which devices rediscover optimal paths following a network failure. Because control protocols were built decades ago for the networks of that era, the existing shortest-path algorithms utilized were designed for problems before the advent of modern computer networks. This resulted in …

Cells in tissues navigate fibrous environments fundamentally differently than they do on flat substrates, but the establishment of cell forces in physiological fibrous settings remains poorly understood. Although factors such as the stiffness of the extracellular matrix (ECM) are known to drive behaviors, including cell motility on flat nonfibrous substrates, the interplay between fiber architecture and stiffness in fibrous ECM is not known. Here, we find that in fibrous environments, the directionality of mechanical forces overrides ECM stiffness as the primary regulator of contractility in migrating cells. Using an approach combining phase microscopy with deep learning to map forces in …

Grp-0176 A Comparative Analysis Of Traditional Virtual Machines And Micro Virtual Machines, Tasnim Akter Onisha Nov 2025

Grp-0176 A Comparative Analysis Of Traditional Virtual Machines And Micro Virtual Machines, Tasnim Akter Onisha

C-Day Computing Showcase

Virtualization technologies form the backbone of modern cloud and serverless platforms, but the balance between performance efficiency and strong isolation remains a key research challenge. Using a comparative literature based methodology, benchmark data from empirical studies are synthesized and normalized across four metrics: startup latency, memory footprint, isolation strength, and scalability. The findings show that traditional VMs such as KVM and Xen provide robust, formally verified isolation but incur higher boot times and memory usage, whereas Micro VMs like Firecracker and Kata Containers achieve lower latency (often < 125 ms) and smaller memory footprints (5–30 MB) while preserving VM-level isolation. Overall, Micro VMs deliver near container responsiveness with VM-grade security, making them suited for serverless and edge environments. As a future direction, this study highlights the need for scalable, formally verified Micro VM architectures for next-generation cloud systems.


Grp-0165 Reinforcement Learning For Latency-Aware Priority Boosting In Linux Completely Fair Scheduler, Joseph Natter Nov 2025

Grp-0165 Reinforcement Learning For Latency-Aware Priority Boosting In Linux Completely Fair Scheduler, Joseph Natter

C-Day Computing Showcase

Tail latency remains a persistent challenge in Linux’s Completely Fair Scheduler (CFS), particularly when short, latency-sensitive jobs compete with longer ones. Traditional boosting heuristics improve tail latency but require manual tuning and generalize poorly across workloads. This project evaluates whether a reinforcement-learning (RL) controller can dynamically apply priority boosts more effectively than fixed heuristics. Using a discrete-event Python simulator modeled after CFS, this project compares baseline CFS, heuristic boosting, and PPO-based learned boosting under mixed workloads. Results show that while heuristics achieve the lowest absolute latency, RL achieves competitive tail-latency reduction with significantly better fairness and adaptability. A state-space study …
