Deeptype: A Deep Neural Network Approach To Keyboard-Free Typing, Joshua V. Broekhuijsen

Theses and Dissertations

Textual data entry is an increasingly-important part of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), but there is room for improvement in this domain. First, the keyboard -- a foundational text-entry device -- presents ergonomic challenges in terms of comfort and accuracy for even well-trained typists. Second, touch-screen smartphones -- some of the most ubiquitous mobile devices -- lack the physical space required to implement a full-size physical keyboard, and settle for a reduced input that can be slow and inaccurate. This thesis proposes and examines "DeepType" to begin addressing both of these problems in the form of a fully-virtual keyboard, realized through a …

Hochberg, Marc, Sophia Maier Garcia

Bronx Jewish History Project

Marc Hochberg was born 1949. He grew up with parents, both the children of immigrants, in a six story apartment building on Holland Avenue, off the south side of Pelham Parkway. The area is remembered as 90% Jewish, with one Italian friend from elementary school. He attended Castle Hill Junior High School in Parkchester, which still had few non-white students at the time, and the Bronx High School of Science. When he was in high school his parents moved to Grand Concourse and 165th Street. Bronx Science is remembered as a top education, and he would go to Franklin and …

Neutrosophic Critic Mcdm Methodology For Ranking Factors And Needs Of Customers In Product's Target Demographic In Virtual Reality Metaverse, Ahmed Sleem, Nehal Mostafa, Ibrahim Elhenawy

Neutrosophic Systems with Applications

Affective design has come to place a premium on customer-centric creativity, which ultimately results in the creation of a product tailored to the requirements of a certain demographic. Designing a fresh and original item that appeals to clients remains challenging, despite the abundance of literature on customer-centric creativity and impact product design. This is so because optimizing technological and aesthetical design aspects and variables for a group of consumers is highly complicated, and for the same reasons that it is hard to know a customer's choice, enable the product's functioning, etc. One of the most important parts of creating cutting-edge …

A Representation For Many Player Generalized Divide The Dollar Games, Garrison Greenwood, Daniel Ashlock

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

Divide the dollar is a simplified version of a two player bargaining problem game devised by John Nash. The generalized divide the dollar game has n > 2 players. Evolutionary algorithms can be used to evolve individual players for this generalized game but representation—i.e., a genome plus a move or search operator(s)—must be carefully chosen since it affects the search process. This paper proposes an entirely new representation called a demand matrix. Each individual in the evolving population now represents a collection of n players rather than just an individual player. Players use previous outcomes to decide their choices (bids) in …

Development And Demonstration Of A Wireless Ultraviolet Sensing Network For Dose Monitoring And Operator Safety In Room Disinfection Applications, Michael F. Cullinan, Robert Scott, Joe Linogao, Hannah Bradwell, Leonie Cooper, Conor Mcginn

School of Nursing and Midwifery

The use of mobile ultraviolet-C (UV-C) disinfection devices for the decontamination of surfaces in hospitals and other settings has increased dramatically in recent years. The efficacy of these devices relies on the UV-C dose they deliver to surfaces. This dose is dependent on the room layout, the shadowing, the position of the UV-C source, lamp degradation, humidity and other factors, making it challenging to estimate. Furthermore, since UV-C exposure is regulated, personnel in the room must not be exposed to UV-C doses beyond occupational limits. We proposed a systematic method to monitor the UV-C dose administered to surfaces during a …

Nh Issues: Strong Support For Recreational Marijuana Use & Gun Control In New Hampshire 2/23/2023, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Seven in ten New Hampshire residents support legalizing marijuana for recreational use. Majorities are also in favor of several gun control measures, including a background check and waiting period on all commercial gun sales, as well as a mechanism to prevent those who may be a risk to themselves or others from buying a gun. Very few Granite Staters support moving New Hampshire's state primary to June. State residents say jobs and the economy and housing are the most important problems facing the state and most residents see homelessness as a very or somewhat serious issue.

Wifi-Based Human Activity Recognition Using Attention-Based Bilstm, Amany Elkelany, Robert J. Ross, Susan Mckeever

Conference papers

Recently, significant efforts have been made to explore human activity recognition (HAR) techniques that use information gathered by existing indoor wireless infrastructures through WiFi signals without demanding the monitored subject to carry a dedicated device. The key intuition is that different activities introduce different multi-paths in WiFi signals and generate different patterns in the time series of channel state information (CSI). In this paper, we propose and evaluate a full pipeline for a CSI-based human activity recognition framework for 12 activities in three different spatial environments using two deep learning models: ABiLSTM and CNN-ABiLSTM. Evaluation experiments have demonstrated that the …

Cytotoxic And Genotoxic Effects Of Waterpipe On Oral Health Status: Systematic Review And Meta-Analysis, Ricardo Grillo, Mehdi Khemiss, Yuri S. Da Silva

Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the cytotoxic and genotoxic impacts of waterpipe smoking on oral health. The databases MEDLINE, Cochrane Library and Dimensions were searched to find studies evaluating whether waterpipe smokers exhibited any cytotoxic or genotoxic effects on their oral cells compared to non-smokers, with regard to mouth neoplasms. Particularly, changes in DNA methylation and p53 expression were assessed. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were adopted for the systematic review. Review Manager was utilised for statistical analysis with a significance level at P <0.05. To assess the grades of the included articles, a risk of bias analysis was summarised. A forest plot, including some of the included articles included, was created regarding the different grades. A total of 20 studies were included in this review. The results showed that waterpipe smoking has cytotoxic and genotoxic effects on oral cells, with a risk difference of 0.16. Although the published articles are few in number, all confirm the devastating effects of waterpipe smoking related to the carcinogenicity. Waterpipe smoking is harmful to oral health. It causes a series of detrimental cellular and genetic modifications such as acanthosis, epithelial dysplasia and hyperparakeratosis. In addition, waterpipe smoke contains several carcinogenic compounds. As it releases many harmful organic compounds, waterpipe smoking increases the incidence of oral cancer.

Results: A total of 422 participants (190 males and 232 females) were included in the final analysis. High social relationships demonstrated significant adverse effects (odds ratio …

Radiologic Assessment Of Orbital Dimensions Among Omani Subjects: A Computed Tomography Imaging-Based Study At A Single Tertiary Centre, Eiman Al Ajmi, Marwa Al Subhi, Mallak Al Maamari, Humoud Al Dhuhli, Srinivasa R. Sirasanagandla

Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the orbital dimensions of Omani subjects who had been referred for computed tomography (CT) of the brain at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Muscat, Oman.
