Acknowledgements First and foremost, I thank my advisor, Prof. Michael Langston. I thank him for his guidance and unwavering support, and for the many, m a n y things I have learned under his advisorship. I am grateful to the Navy for the Augmentation Award for Science and Engineering Technology (AASERT), and to Prof. Langston for awarding me the privilege of being its recipient. I thank Profs....

I am submitting herewith a thesis written by Scott Edward Fields entitled " Hardware Design and Implementation of Role-Based Cryptography. " I have examined the final electronic copy of this thesis for form and content and recommend that it be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science, with a major in Computer Engineering. (Original signatures are o...

Abstract: The earthquake events have been widely analyzed using a statistical approach. Therefore, the sole purpose of this research is clustering and risk analysis based on combination machine learning statistics. learning, conducted by Mini Batch K-Means K-Medoids, validated Davies-Bouldin index method to cluster. Furthermore, statistics approach maximum likelihood estimate b-value a-value ev...

Facial composite images are often used in the criminal investigation process to facilitate the identification of an offender. Research generally shows that the effectiveness of various composite systems in generating accurate facial representations is low, however these findings do not reflect a number of newly developed computerized systems. This study investigated the prevalence of composite ...

In 2021 there were at least 45,060 deaf children in England (CRIDE, 2021) and 78 per cent mainstream educational settings. It is highly likely, therefore, that many people working these settings will some point meet a child. Any level of hearing loss can have an impact on children, not only terms their communication language development but also social emotional development. Deafness be tempora...

Studies with adults suggest that implicit preferences favoring White versus Black individuals can be reduced through exposure to positive Black exemplars. However, it remains unclear whether developmental differences exist in the capacity for these biases to be changed. In the current study we examined whether White and Asian children’s implicit racial bias would be reduced following exposure t...

This paper presents the results of a scalable approach to build hierarchical clustering from space-time series. The goal is to reduce the complexity in terms of space and time. The approach explores data sampling pre-processing techniques to reduce the numerosity of the data. The experiment indicates it is needed the development of more efficient strategies than the naive selection of samples (...
