Analysis And Implementation Of Quantum Computing Algorithms, Caroline Fedele, Asai Asaithambi Ph.D Apr 2020

Analysis And Implementation Of Quantum Computing Algorithms, Caroline Fedele, Asai Asaithambi Ph.D

Showcase of Osprey Advancements in Research and Scholarship (SOARS)

In this research, we investigate the relationships between classical and quantum computing, and the superior time complexity and memory allocation proposed theoretically for quantum algorithms. This is accomplished by building quantum circuits to represent algorithms and test in a quantum computer simulation. Classical circuit components have been continually reducing in size to the point where they are now being impacted by quantum properties, resulting in the need to investigate quantum computing. The inherent parallelism of quantum computing also allows us to solve problems for which classical computers are inept. The class of intractable problems in computing where the solution can …

Formula SAE is an international collegiate competition that spans over 300 campuses worldwide. Each year, teams from these campuses design and manufacture a prototype Formula-style race car to compete in various static and dynamic competitions every May in Michigan. Static competitions include engineering design, business presentations, and cost accounting; while Dynamic competitions include Autocross, Acceleration, and Endurance racing events, where the prototype cars from each team race head-to-head in a bid to achieve first place. Of the 300+ campuses that participate in Formula SAE, only 120 are permitted to compete in the Michigan competition each year and The University of …


What Are The Most Important Features On Infant Car Seats To Prevent Injuries: A Systematic Qualitative Review, Andrew Miceli, Donovan Arnold Apr 2020

What Are The Most Important Features On Infant Car Seats To Prevent Injuries: A Systematic Qualitative Review, Andrew Miceli, Donovan Arnold

Background: Pediatric safety continues to be a main topic of scientific research and specifically injuries sustained from accidents in automobile accidents. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been quoted as saying “Motor vehicle crashes continue to be the leading cause of death for children 4 years of age or older.” In the studies analyzed, head impacts were the most frequently injured body region for children occupants seated in a child restraint system. Traumatic brain and skull injuries sustained from these types of accidents were the case studies considered for this literature review due to the high nature of volume …


Automated Extraction Of Crosswalk From High-Resolution Images, Luciano Lalika, Thobias Sando Phd Apr 2020

Automated Extraction Of Crosswalk From High-Resolution Images, Luciano Lalika, Thobias Sando Phd

Intersection geometric data are crucial in addressing various safety and operation issues in roadway intersections. Traditionally, agencies have hire staff to extract geometric information from images visually and manually. Manual data extraction is time-consuming, costly (labor intensive), and prone to errors. This study aims to develop an automated signalized intersection geometric data extraction algorithm based on high-resolution images in order to identify crosswalks, left and right turns, and mid-block crosswalks. Using the computer vision technology, the developed algorithm will be able to extract key intersection geometrics such as intersection width, number of lanes, intersection configuration, the presence of turn lanes, …


Performance Evaluation Of Long Range (Lora) Wireless Rf Technology Blue For The Internet Of Things (Iot) Using Dragino Lora At 915 Mhz, Victor Lopez, Hemani Kaushal, Zornitza Prodanoff Apr 2020

Internet of Things (IoT) is a developing concept that introduces the network of physical sensors which are interconnected to each other. Some sensors are wirelessly connected among themselves and to the internet. Currently, IoT applications demand substantial requirements in terms of Radio Access Network (RAN) such as long-range outdoor coverage, environmental factors, obstructions, interference, power consumption, and many others. Also, the current wireless technologies are not able to satisfy all these requirements simultaneously. Therefore, there is no single wireless standard that would predominate the IoT. However, one relevant wireless radio solution to IoT is known as Long Range Wide Area …
