Driver Distraction Identification With An Ensemble Of Convolutional Neural Networks, Hesham M. Eraqi, Mohamed Nabil Moustafa

Faculty Journal Articles

The World Health Organization (WHO) reported 1.25 million deaths yearly due to road traffic accidents worldwide and the number has been continuously increasing over the last few years. Nearly fifth of these accidents are caused by distracted drivers. Existing work of distracted driver detection is concerned with a small set of distractions (mostly, cell phone usage). Unreliable ad hoc methods are often used. In this paper, we present the first publicly available dataset for driver distraction identification with more distraction postures than existing alternatives. In addition, we propose a reliable deep learning-based solution that achieves a 90% accuracy. The system …

The Selection Of Parameters In Debris Flow Modeling: A Sensitivity Study Using The Discrete Element Method, Cora Siebert

University Honors Theses

Many studies have examined runout behavior of debris flows on various slopes and in different environments, but few have explicitly modeled their coarse woody debris component. Simulating a coarse-grained debris flow snout including coarse woody debris can be achieved using discrete element modeling. Before modeling the entire system, each parameter that influences the model must be determined and analyzed. Using 5 m resolution IfSAR data from Sitka, Alaska as the control topography, I conducted a sensitivity analysis of the behavior of a single particle as it travels downslope. Parameters of relevance are normal and tangential contact stiffness, viscous damping coefficient, …

Novel Flexible Heteroarotinoid, Sl-1-39, Inhibits Her2-Positive Breast Cancer Cell Proliferation By Promoting Lysosomal Degradation Of Her2., Hongye Zou, Mary B. Sevigny, Shengquan Liu, David T. Madden, Maggie C. Louie

Faculty Publications & Research of the TUC College of Pharmacy

SL-1-39 [1-(4-chloro-3-methylphenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)thiourea] is a new flexible heteroarotinoid (Flex-Het) analog derived from the parental compound, SHetA2, previously shown to inhibit cell growth across multiple cancer types. The current study aims to determine growth inhibitory effects of SL-1-39 across the different subtypes of breast cancer cells and delineate its molecular mechanism. Our results demonstrate that while SL-1-39 blocks cell proliferation of all breast cancer subtypes tested, it has the highest efficacy against HER2+ breast cancer cells. Molecular analyses suggest that SL-1-39 prevents S phase progression of HER2+ breast cancer cells (SKBR3 and MDA-MB-453), which is consistent with reduced expression of key cell-cycle …

Here we have conducted a novel meta-analysis to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in PD microarray datasets comprising 69 PD and 57 control brain samples which is the biggest cohort for such studies to date. Using identified DEGs, we performed pathway, upstream and protein-protein interaction analysis. We …

A Theoretical Model Of Underground Dipole Antennas For Communications In Internet Of Underground Things, Abdul Salam, Mehmet C. Vuran, Xin Dong, Christos Argyropoulos, Suat Irmak

Computer Information Technology Faculty Publications

The realization of Internet of Underground Things (IOUT) relies on the establishment of reliable communication links, where the antenna becomes a major design component due to the significant impacts of soil. In this paper, a theoretical model is developed to capture the impacts of change of soil moisture on the return loss, resonant frequency, and bandwidth of a buried dipole antenna. Experiments are conducted in silty clay loam, sandy, and silt loam soil, to characterize the effects of soil, in an indoor testbed and field testbeds. It is shown that at subsurface burial depths (0.1-0.4m), change in soil moisture impacts …
