The pediatric intensive care unit (ICU) is a complex environment, in which a multidisciplinary team of clinicians (registered nurses, respiratory therapists, and physicians) continually observe and evaluate patient ...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being increasingly used to assist complex decision-making such as financial investing. As most AI systems rely on black-box machine learning models, understanding how to support human ...

One in four older adults (65 years and over) are living with some form of malnutrition. This increases their odds of hospitalization four-fold and is associated with decreased quality of life and increased mortality. In ...

This work is based on Shafer's Dichromatic Reflection Model as applied to color image formation. The color spaces RGB, XYZ, CIELAB, CIELUV, rgb, l1l2l3, and the new h1h2h3 color space are discussed from this perspective. ...

Computational models have been used to examine and estimate various motions and loading conditions of the human body that are otherwise difficult to examine experimentally. To study human musculoskeletal dynamics, biomechanical ...

Drivers aged 65 and older are particularly prone to motor vehicle crashes, with approximately 20% of traffic fatalities occurring at intersections [11]. Intersections appear to be hazardous for drivers in this age group ...

Brain-computer interfaces have the potential to improve the lives of many populations who benefit from neurofeedback. Autism Spectrum Disorder is a condition experienced by many and its deficits are potentially improved ...

3-D ultrasound imaging offers unique opportunities in the field of non destructive testing that cannot be easily found in A-mode and B-mode images. To acquire a 3-D ultrasound image without a mechanically moving transducer, ...

Depth information is one of the most fundamental cues in interpreting the geometric relationship of objects. It enables machines and robots to perceive the world in 3D and allows them to understand the environment far ...

In this thesis, we propose a novel polarimetric system design framework that computationally evaluates a design to solve an optical problem. It does this by explicitly formulating the logical connections and dependencies ...
