(2019-04-02)Department: Civil EngineeringThis dissertation develops a novel approach for fusing information from physics models of different levels of fidelity in the Bayesian estimation of system parameters. In order to balance computational effort and accuracy, ...
-
(2024-03-21)Department: Health Policy & Health Services ResearchLGBTQ+ (including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other-non heterosexual) middle and older age adults have significantly worse health outcomes than their non-SGM counterparts. This includes higher prevalence ...
-
(2003-07-24)Department: Electrical EngineeringOxygen vacancies have long been known to be the dominant intrinsic defect in amorphous SiO2 . They exist, in concentrations dependent on processing conditions, as neutral defects in thermal oxides without usually causing ...
-
(2004-04-08)Department: Electrical EngineeringThe sensory abilities of humanoid robots are progressing every year with the development of advanced and complex sensors. At the same time, humanoid robots are learning to coordinate sensory events in their environments ...
-
(2018-11-21)Department: Biomedical EngineeringThe measurement of functional connectivity within the spine based on detecting resting-state fluctuations in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signals potentially provides a new tool for assessing spinal cord ...
-
(2006-10-17)Department: Computer ScienceAs the multi-robot community strives towards greater autonomy, there is a need for systems that allow robots to autonomously form teams and cooperatively complete assigned missions. The corresponding problem with software ...
-
(2019-07-25)Mammals have two types of photoreceptors, rods and cones. While rods are exceptionally sensitive and mediate vision at very low illumination levels, cones operate in daylight and are responsible for the bulk of visual ...

Multiancestry Genome-Wide Association Study of Lipid Levels Incorporating Gene-Alcohol Interactions (AMERICAN JOURNAL OF EPIDEMIOLOGY, 2019-06)A person's lipid profile is influenced by genetic variants and alcohol consumption, but the contribution of interactions between these exposures has not been studied. We therefore incorporated gene-alcohol interactions ...
-
(BMJ Open, 2019-06)Introduction Delirium is a significant medical complication for hospitalised patients. Up to one-third of delirium episodes are preventable in older inpatients through non-pharmacological strategies that support essential ...

(2022-03-28)Department: ChemistryMass spectrometry-based untargeted metabolomics aims to comprehensively characterize the varied and critical roles of molecular species in biological systems. Due to the complexity of the samples as well as the prevalence ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2003)The axioms used to characterize the generalized Gini social evaluation orderings for one-dimensional distributions are extended to the multidimensional attributes case. A social evaluation ordering is shown to have a ...
-
(2021-03-23)Department: ChemistryMass spectrometry (MS) has been a rapidly growing analytical technique, especially when analyzing complex biological matrices in metabolomics, clinical applications, anti-doping applications, and routine testing analyses. ...
