Objects & Reflections
(2020-12-01)This piece is a reflection of Human Rights broken down into basic geometric shapes. The piece focuses on the contrast between light and dark, yin and yang, and the value of everything in between. Using sound and visuals ... -
On a paired-t confidence interval based ranking and selection method
(Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Flexible Automation & Intelligent Manufacturing, 2014)Simulation optimization is a widely used methodology for complex stochastic system design. Though the simulation provides a flexible tool for model building, the optimization process could be very challenging due to the ... -
On Clustering to Minimize the Sum of Radii
(SIAM Journal on Computing;41(1), 2012-01-05)Let P be a set of n points in the plane. Consider the problem of finding k disks, each centered at a point in P, whose union covers P with the objective of minimizing the sum of the radii of the disks. We present an exact ... -
On Isolating Points Using Unit Disks
(Journal of Computational Geometry;Vol. 7 No. 1, 2016)Given a set of points in the plane and a set of disks which separate the points, we consider the problem of selecting a minimum size subset of the disks such that any path between any pair of points is intersected by at ... -
On the Application of K-User MIMO for 6G Enhanced Mobile Broadband
(11/2/2020)This paper presents a high-throughput wireless access framework for future 6G networks. This framework, known as K-User MIMO, facilitates all-to-all communication between K access points and K mobile devices. For such a ... -
On the Boundary Value Problems of Hadamard Fractional Differential Equations of Variable Order via Kuratowski MNC Technique
(Mathematics;9(10), 2021-05-17)In this manuscript, we examine both the existence and the stability of solutions of the boundary value problems of Hadamard-type fractional differential equations of variable order. New outcomes are obtained in this paper ... -
On the Detection of Low-Rate Denial of Service Attacks at Transport and Application Layers
(2021-08-30)Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks aim to deplete the network bandwidth and computing resources of targeted victims. Low-rate DDoS attacks exploit protocol features such as the transmission control protocol (TCP) ... -
On the Finite-Time Boundedness and Finite-Time Stability of Caputo-Type Fractional Order Neural Networks with Time Delay and Uncertain Terms
(2022-06-30)This study investigates the problem of finite-time boundedness of a class of neural networks of Caputo fractional order with time delay and uncertain terms. New sufficient conditions are established by constructing ... -
On the Mechanism Controlling the Relative Orientation of Graphene Bi-Layers
(2022-04-02)We have measured the relative orientation of rotated graphene bi-layers (RGBs) deposited by chemical vapor deposition and found that there are spontaneously occurring preferred orientations. Measurements were performed ... -
On the Origin of the Conformationally Non-Interconvertable Isomers of Bisphenyldirhodium(III) Caprolactamate
(Journal of the Mexican Chemical Society;, 2009)A plausible explanation for the unprecedented formation of two conformational isomers of bisphenyldirhodium(III) caprolactamate is presented. The presence of acetic acid during the coupling process leading to the formation ... -
On the Postmodern Condition
(The UTSA Journal of Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Work;Volume 7, 2020-12)As a cultural movement, Postmodernism begun to solidify itself since the 1970s. Despite what some may say of its necessarily unstructured nature, coherent reflection about it is useful. While there is a growing literature ... -
On the Seismic Evaluation of Steel Frames Laterally Braced with Perforated Steel Plate Shear Walls Considering Semi-Rigid Connections
(2022-09-11)Steel plate shear walls usually do not satisfy the strong-column weak-beam design criteria, leading to larger column sections. On the other hand, rigid frame structures are typically constructed in low-rise to mid-rise ... -
On the Solutions of a Quadratic Integral Equation of the Urysohn Type of Fractional Variable Order
(2022-06-27)In this manuscript we introduce a quadratic integral equation of the Urysohn type of fractional variable order. The existence and uniqueness of solutions of the proposed fractional model are studied by transforming it ... -
On the Stability with Respect to H-Manifolds for Cohen–Grossberg-Type Bidirectional Associative Memory Neural Networks with Variable Impulsive Perturbations and Time-Varying Delays
(3/3/2020)The present paper is devoted to Bidirectional Associative Memory (BAM) Cohen–Grossberg-type impulsive neural networks with time-varying delays. Instead of impulsive discontinuities at fixed moments of time, we consider ... -
On the use of course evaluations for purposes of faculty personnel decisions
(Business Research Yearbook;Volume 19, Issue 2, 2012)Many universities utilize student teaching evaluations even though their validity is hotly contested in the research. This study examines publicly available data of all sections of courses evaluated in a program at a ... -
One Small Change That Could Fix the World
(2021-03-18)This spark page is a reflection on the need for educating children about their rights and roles in society. -
One-Step Deadbeat Control of a 5-Link Biped Using Data-Driven Nonlinear Approximation of the Step-to-Step Dynamics
(11/4/2020)For bipedal robots to walk over complex and constrained environments (e.g., narrow walkways, stepping stones), they have to meet precise control objectives of speed and foot placement at every single step. This control ... -
