The Effects Of Environmental Factors On Tsunami Propagation And Inundation: A Comparison Of Earth With Other Planetary Bodies, Austin Halstead Jan 2024

The Effects Of Environmental Factors On Tsunami Propagation And Inundation: A Comparison Of Earth With Other Planetary Bodies, Austin Halstead

All Master's Theses

Tsunamis are a universal hazard in any environment with oceans or lakes. Having a firm understanding of them is essential because of this. However, the vast number of tsunami studies have been solely on Earth, despite the growing evidence of oceans and lakes being on, or having once existed on, other planets and moons. In this study, I investigated tsunami behavior in non-Earth environments by testing the effects of varying viscosity and gravity. I conducted simulations using GeoClaw, Flow3D®, and VolcFlow on established tsunami benchmarks to identify consistent patterns in tsunami flow patterns and inundation. The results show …

Monotone Ordinal Expert Knowledge Acquisition For Explanation Of Machine Learning Models, Harlow Huber Jan 2024

Monotone Ordinal Expert Knowledge Acquisition For Explanation Of Machine Learning Models, Harlow Huber

All Master's Theses

There are significant difficulties for the acceptance of black-box Machine Learning (ML) models by subject matter experts (SMEs) despite significant achievements of many black-box models. A promising way to address this problem is by building a trustable, qualitative, interpretable models for the task based on SME knowledge. Such qualitative models can work as qualitative explainers of black-box models or as sanity checks for them. For instance, the expert model can expect that two cases belong to different classes, but the black box model predicts that they are in the same class. In this thesis, qualitative models operate with ordinal attributes, …

Tip-Induced Nanoscale Domain Engineering In X-Cut Lithium Niobate On Insulator, Jianan Ma, Ningchong Zheng, Pengcheng Chen, Xiaoyi Xu, Yunzhi Zhu, Yuefeng Nie, Shining Zhu, Min Xiao, Yong Zhang

Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations

Nanodomain engineering in lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) is critical to realize advanced photonic circuits. Here, we investigate the tip-induced nanodomain formation in x-cut LNOI. The effective electric field exhibits a mirror symmetry, which can be divided into preceding and sequential halves according to the tip movement. Under our configuration, the preceding electric field plays a decisive role rather than the sequential one as in previous reports. The mechanism is attributed to the screening field formed by the preceding field counteracting the effect of the subsequent one. In experiment, we successfully fabricate nanodomain dots, lines, and periodic arrays. Our …

Low-cost biosensors that can rapidly and widely detect viruses are critical for faster diagnosis and treatment decision-making, especially for infections. The commonly used field-effect transistor is sensitive to the biomarker's detection but struggles with precise detection, particularly of nontargets such as ions and proteins. To overcome this limitation, we developed a field-effect transistor biosensor design based on MXene-graphene materials to increase the accuracy and sensitivity of virus detection. Based on the hybridization process between two complementary DNA strands, single-stranded nucleic acids were immobilized on the sensing surface via 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and glutaraldehyde to capture the nucleic acids of the target virus. …

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can capture pictures of road conditions in all directions and from different angles by carrying high-definition cameras, which helps gather relevant road data more effectively. However, due to their limited energy capacity, drones face challenges in performing related tasks for an extended period. Therefore, a crucial concern is how to plan the path of UAVs and minimize energy consumption. To address this problem, we propose a multi-agent deep deterministic policy gradient based (MADDPG) algorithm for UAV path planning (MAUP). Considering the energy consumption and memory usage of MAUP, we have conducted optimizations to reduce consumption on …

Domain Name System (DNS) tunneling is a well-known cyber-attack that allows data exfiltration - the attackers exploit this tunnel to extract sensitive information from the system. Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) attackers encapsulate malicious traffic in a DNS connection to elude security mechanisms such as Intrusion Detection System (IDS). Although different techniques have been implemented to detect these targeted attacks, their rise induces a threat to Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). The DNS over HTTPS (DoH) tunnel detection is a challenge because the encrypted data prevents an analysis of DNS traffic content. In this paper, we present a novel detection system that identifies …

The adoption of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) has sparked considerable interest across diverse industries, including public transportation, underground mining, and agriculture sectors. However, CAVs' reliance on sensor readings makes them vulnerable to significant threats. Manipulating these readings can compromise CAV network security, posing serious risks for malicious activities. Although several anomaly detection (AD) approaches for CAV networks are proposed, they often fail to: i) detect multiple anomalies in specific sensor(s) with high accuracy or F1 score, and ii) identify the specific sensor being attacked. In response, this paper proposes a novel framework tailored to CAV networks, called CAV-AD, for …

Freyr⁺: Harvesting Idle Resources In Serverless Computing Via Deep Reinforcement Learning, Hanfei Yu, Hao Wang, Jian Li, Xu Yuan, Seung Jong Park

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

Serverless computing has revolutionized online service development and deployment with ease-to-use operations, auto-scaling, fine-grained resource allocation, and pay-as-you-go pricing. However, a gap remains in configuring serverless functions - the actual resource consumption may vary due to function types, dependencies, and input data sizes, thus mismatching the static resource configuration by users. Dynamic resource consumption against static configuration may lead to either poor function execution performance or low utilization. This paper proposes Freyr+, a novel resource manager (RM) that dynamically harvests idle resources from over-provisioned functions to accelerate under-provisioned functions for serverless platforms. Freyr+ monitors each function's resource utilization in real-time …

In the medical multi-modal frameworks, the alignment of cross-modality features presents a significant challenge. However, existing works have learned features that are implicitly aligned from the data, without considering the explicit relationships in the medical context. This data-reliance may lead to low generalization of the learned alignment relationships. In this work, we propose the Eye-gaze Guided Multi-modal Alignment (EGMA) framework to harness eye-gaze data for better alignment of medical visual and textual features. We explore the natural auxiliary role of radiologists' eye-gaze data in aligning medical images and text and introduce a novel approach by using eye-gaze data, collected synchronously …

Unsafe Events Detection In Smart Water Meter Infrastructure Via Noise-Resilient Learning, Ayanfeoluwa Oluyomi, Sahar Abedzadeh, Shameek Bhattacharjee, Sajal K. Das

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

Residential smart water meters (SWMs) collect real-time water consumption data, enabling automated billing and peak period forecasting. The presence of unsafe events is typically detected via deviations from the benign profile of water usage. However, profiling the benign behavior is non-trivial for large-scale SWM networks because once deployed, the collected data already contain those events, biasing the benign profile. To address this challenge, we propose a real-time data-driven unsafe event detection framework for city-scale SWM networks that automatically learns the profile of benign behavior of water usage. Specifically, we first propose an optimal clustering of SWMs based on the recognition …
