Automatically identifying, counting, and describing wild animals in camera-trap images with deep learning 

Norouzzadeh, Mohammad Sadegh; Nguyen, Anh; Kosmala, Margaret; Swanson, Alexandra; Palmer, Meredith S.; Packer, Craig; Clune, Jeff (2020-07-27)
Having accurate, detailed, and up-to-date information about the location and behavior of animals in the wild would improve our ability to study and conserve ecosystems. We investigate the ability to automatically, accurately, ...

A Bayesian Approach to Detect the Firms with Material Weakness in Internal Control 

Simsek, Serhat; Bayraktar, Engin; Ragothaman, Srini; Dag, Ali (2019-08-01)
Capturing of relevant patterns in company’s financial data and the implications on the reporting are important for various financial statement users to identify the triggers of the significant deficiencies and material ...

Bearing Capacity 

Elton, David; Elton, Dave (2014-02-06)
The pressure that a foundation unit can impose onto the supporting earth mass without causing overstressing (or shear failure) is the soil's bearing capacity. The three principal modes of soil failure established by the ...

Categorizing Sedimentary Rocks by Origin 

Elton, David; Elton, Dave (2014-02-06)
Using examples, this video tells students what to look for in order to identify rocks.

Characterization of Plenoptic Imaging Systems and Efficient Volumetric Estimation from Plenoptic Data 

Anglin, Paul; Reeves, Stanley J.; Thurow, Brian S. (2015-01-13)
Plenoptic imaging is a rapidly growing field driven by the ever-declining cost of imaging systems and the promise of image focus, perspective, and depth of field manipulation during post-processing. While plenoptic ...

Data for: Comparison of two dielectric sensors in coarse-grained soils of increasing salinity 

Diekmann, Amy; Bowers, Benjamin; Anderson, J. Brian; 0000-0003-1525-4022 (2023-07-12)
Moisture content can impact the resilient modulus of pavement base course and subgrade layers. Given its influence on the post-inundation resilient moduli of the coastal pavement and base course and subgrade layers, it is ...

Discrimination experiments with the U.S. Army's standard metal detector 

Lloyd, Riggs; Chilaka, Sailaja; Leslie, Collins; Lowe, Larry; Weaver, Richard (2022-10-25)
[1] Discrimination experiments with the U. S. Army's standard hand-held metal detector (AN/PSS-12) are described. An appendix describes the functioning of the device as a metal detector, and the body of the paper discusses ...

An efficient auxiliary variable method for quantification of spin density, R2* decay and field inhomogeneity maps in magnetic resonance imaging 

Hu, Chenxi; Reeves, Stanley (2015-04-07)
Quantification of spin density, $R_2^*$ decay and off-resonance frequency maps is very important in some applications of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). To reconstruct these parameter maps, a time-varying model such as ...

The electrostatic characterization of an n-element planar array using the singularity expansion method 

Mooney, J; Riggs, L; Baginski, M; 0000-0002-7044-3152 (2022-09-28)
In this paper, the singularity expansion method (SEM) is used to describe the electrostatic charge distribution on an array of thin linear antennas placed in a uniform electric field. The SEM, which has primarily been used ...

Estimating the Center of Rotation of Tomographic Imaging Systems with Limited Projections 

Zhou, Huanyi; Reeves, Stanley J.; Panizzi, Peter R. (2021-04-02)
For a tomographic imaging system, image reconstruction quality is highly correlated with accurate determination of the true center of rotation (COR) location. A significant center offset error will introduce ringing, ...

Experimental and numerical investigation of saltwater intrusion dynamics in flux-controlled groundwater systems 

Chang, Sun Woo; Clement, T. Prabhakar (2020-08-20)
Sea level rise and reduction of groundwater fluxes due to changes in rainfall patterns are the two major climate change–induced hydrological variables that can severely affect saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers. In ...

Field‐based robotic phenotyping of sorghum plant architecture using stereo vision 

Bao, Yin; Tang, Lie; Breitzman, Matthew; Salas-Fernandez, Maria; Schnable, Patrick; 0000-0002-3548-1823 (2020-02-24)
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is known as a major feedstock for biofuel production. To improve its biomass yield through genetic research, manually measuring yield component traits (e.g. plant height, stem diameter, leaf angle, ...

Forest restoration as a strategy to mitigate climate impacts on wildfire, vegetation, and water in semiarid forests 

O'Donnell, Frances C.; Flatley, William T.; Springer, Abraham E.; Fulé, Peter Z.; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5886-8270 (2020-05-18)
