In this thesis, we propose an automated methodology to study the trend of color preferences for male and female subjects of paintings over several hundred years. This study is part of a larger project on understanding how ...

The generative adversarial network (GAN) is a deep learning architecture that learns a generative model by training a later discriminator to best differentiate “fake” examples generated by the generator from the “true” ...

Salinity is a major abiotic stress that impairs physiology and productivity of economically important crops such as common bean. It is an important grain legume and provides 30% of the protein diet in developing countries. ...

Agentstrainedwithdeepreinforcementlearningalgorithmsarecapableofperforming highly complex tasks including locomotion in continuous environments. In order to attain a human-level performance, the next step of research should ...

Fatigue crack propagation behavior of shape memory alloys is investigated using finite elements. Fatigue crack growth rate is numerically determined in terms of effective stress intensity factor range and maximum stress ...

In this work, the transient response of a thick-walled layered spherical shell subjected to radially symmetric loadings is studied using the ray theory. Normal mode solution in the Fourier transform space is expanded into ...

Human Computation aims to solve problems by means of combining the power of human and computer computation. The typical approach is to assign tasks to computers and humans based on what they are better capable of performing. ...

This thesis focuses on the practical implementation of transmitter location estimation algorithms using software de ned radio devices for the purpose of radio environment map construction, which is used to determine primary ...

In the analysis of transverse vibration of beams the classical Euler-Bernoulli theory is insufficient to describe the behaviour of the beam in the higher modes. Including the effect of rotary inertia and shear deflection ...

As the beam energy and event rate in experimental particle physics setups increases, the acquisition and analysis of the data created at the experiments become more complex. In the beginning, counting the recorded events ...
