How Noise Thresholds Affect The Information Content Of Stellar Flare Sequences, Elmer C. Rivera, Jay R. Johnson, Jonathan Homan, Simon Wing

Faculty Publications

Systems that exhibit discrete dynamics can be well described and reconstructed by considering the set of time intervals between the discrete events of the system. The Kepler satellite has cataloged light curves for many Sun-like stars, and these light curves show strong bursts in intensity that are associated with stellar flares. The waiting time between these flares describes the fundamental dynamics of the stars and is driven by physical processes, such as flux emergence. While it is rather straightforward to identify large flares, the identification of weaker flares can be challenging because of the presence of noise. A common practice …

Optimized Workplace Risk Mitigation Measures For Sars-Cov-2 In 2022, Peter G Matos, Alexander L Greninger, Julie Mccashin, Christopher Ian Amos

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

596 million SARS-CoV-2 cases have been reported and over 12 billion vaccine doses have been administered. As vaccination rates increase, a gap in knowledge exists regarding appropriate thresholds for escalation and de-escalation of workplace COVID-19 preventative measures. We conducted 133,056 simulation experiments, evaluating the spread of SARS-CoV-2 virus in hypothesized working environments subject to COVID-19 infections from the community. We tested the rates of workplace-acquired infections based on applied isolation strategies, community infection rates, methods and scales of testing, non-pharmaceutical interventions, variant predominance, vaccination coverages, and vaccination efficacies. When 75% of a workforce is vaccinated with a 70% efficacious vaccine …

Simulation Of Occluded Pedestrian Detection Based On Improved Yolo, Nan Xiang, Lu Wang, Chongliu Jia, Yuemou Jian, Xiaoxia Ma

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Aiming at the high missed detection rates and low accuracy of existing YOLO for occlusion and multi-scale pedestrian targets, an improved pedestrian detection algorithm is proposed. YOLO backbone is modified to enhance the capabilities of cross-scale feature extraction. To increase thepedestrian feature fusion capabilities of different scales, a spatial pyramid pooling module and two attention mechanisms are introduced at different positions in front of YOLO layers. Aiming at the detection performance degradation due to the extreme complexity of network module and to improve the model training efficiency, the network structure is pruned according to the actual …

Evacuation Dynamics Research Based On Evolutionary Game Theory, Qiaoru Li, Jinxiu Yan, Xiaoyong Tian, Kun Li, Xia Li

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: In order to study the impact of individual cooperative behavior on the overall pedestrian evacuation efficiency, combined with cellular automata and social force model, the co-evolution of evacuation system dynamics and "cooperative behavior" is studied, and an evacuation dynamics research method based on evolutionary game theory is proposed. The cellular automata model is used as the basic simulation framework, and the social force model is used to represent the psychological repulsion among the practitioners. The evacuation individual strategy is updated through evolutionary game. The simulation results show that when the game gain coefficient exceeds a certain threshold, the …

Efficient Hmm Map Matching Method Using R-Tree And Trajectory Segmentation, Yanjiao Song, Jiayue Zhou, Longhao Wang, Jing Wu, Rui Li, Xiaoping Rui

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: In view of the incapability of traditional methods to efficiently process massive trajectory data, an improved HMM (hidden-Markov model) map matching algorithm is proposed. Spatial index for road networks is established through R-tree spatial index. GPS trajectory data are segmented based on the position change rates of trajectory points. R-tree index is used to quickly determine the candidate road section that sub-trajectories belong to, and the key points of the sub-trajectories instead of the entire sub-trajectories are selected to judge which road the sub-trajectories should be matched with. The map matching of each sub-trajectory is carried out on …

Computation Offloading Strategy Based On Stackelberg Game And Drl, Xianwei Zhou, Qixu Gong, Songsen Yu

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: To achieve the optimal computation offloading strategy for two kinds of MEC users in 5G hybrid private network, Stackelberg game is used to build the model of the competition for MEC server resources of two kinds of users, andthe strategies of complete information game and partially incomplete information game are researched respectively. It is proved that there is only one Nash equilibrium solution in the complete information scenario. In the incomplete information scenario, the environment is modeled as POMDP, and a two-stage deep reinforcement learning(TSDRL) is proposed to obtain the optimal computation offloading strategy. Simulation results show the proposed …

Cool-Clave – An Energy Efficient Autoclave, Indraneel R. Chowdhury, John Summerscales

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

Out-of-autoclave (OOA) manufacturing techniques for composites result in 7 lower fibre volume fractions than for fully compressed laminates. The lower fibre volume 8 fraction produces a higher resin volume fraction which becomes resin-rich volumes (RRV) 9 [1]. Textile reinforcements with clustered fibres and consequent RRV generally have low 10 strength but high in-plane process permeability, whereas the opposite is true for uni-11 formly distributed fibres [1, 2]. The inevitable increase in resin volume fraction of OOA 12 composites often compromises composite performance and leads to relatively higher 13 weight and fuel consumption in transport applications. Retention of autoclave processing 14 …

Antibody Development To Identify Components Of Iis And Mtor Signaling Pathways In Lepidopteran Species, A Set Of Non-Model Insects, Alissa R. Armstrong, Carol Boggs

Faculty Publications

Nutritional stress impacts many insect species that have differing reproductive strategies and life histories, yet it is unclear how nutrient-sensing signaling pathways mediate tissue-specific responses to changes in dietary input. In Drosophila melanogaster , insulin/insulin-like growth factor (IIS) and mTOR-mediated signaling within adipocytes regulates oogenesis. To facilitate comparative study of nutrient-sensing pathway activity in the fat body, we developed antibodies to assess IIS (anti-FOXO) and mTOR signaling (anti-TOR) across three nymphalid species (Lepidoptera). By optimizing whole-mount fat body immunostaining, we find FOXO nuclear enrichment in adult adipocytes, like that observed in Drosophila . Additionally, we show a previously uncharacterized TOR …

Certifiably Employable?: The Effects Of Occupational Regulation On Unemployment Duration, Ilya Kukaev, Edward Timmons

Economics Faculty Working Papers Series

Occupational regulation is a labor market institution that has received a growing amount of attention by researchers. Existing research has explored the effects of occupational regulation on wages and employment. To the best of our knowledge, no existing study has estimated the effect of occupational credentials on unemployment duration in the US. We derive a random search model to explain differences in individual unemployment duration resulting from heterogeneous effects from licenses and certificates. Our model predicts that an occupational credential with a stronger signaling or human capital effect results in a shorter individual unemployment duration. To estimate the effect of …

Automatic Dispersion, Defect, Curing, And Thermal Characteristics Determination Of Polymer Composites Using Micro-Scale Infrared Thermography And Machine Learning Algorithm, Md Ashiqur Rahman, Mirza Masfiqur Rahman, Ali Ashraf

Mechanical Engineering Faculty Publications

Infrared thermography is a non-destructive technique that can be exploited in many fields including polymer composite investigation. Based on emissivity and thermal diffusivity variation; components, defects, and curing state of the composite can be identified. However, manual processing of thermal images that may contain significant artifacts, is prone to erroneous component and property determination. In this study, thermal images of different graphite/graphene-based polymer composites fabricated by hand, planetary, and batch mixing techniques were analyzed through an automatic machine learning model. Filler size, shape, and location can be identified in polymer composites and thus, the dispersion of different samples was quantified …
