Academic placement in high school classes is an important decision that can have long-term effects on student success. Research indicates that students most often remain in high or low tracks year after year. However, the precision of placements relative to real achievement disp…
Lernaeocera branchialis (L., 1767) is a parasitic copepod that parasitises a range of gadoids by anchoring in the proximity of the branchial chamber of its host, deriving nutrition from the blood of its host and causing serious pathogenic effects. This study investigates the tax…
In the field of wireless network security there exist many scenarios that require the network administrator to carefully consider the best course of action, to be taken against an unauthorized user. In these cases it is important to have real time information, such as the locati…
In this research, hyperspectral and terahertz (THz) imaging were used for segmentation and detection of desired objects. In the hyperspectral part of the research, the performance of hyperspectral image classifying algorithms were tested and enhanced by parameter modification an…
Hysteresis nonlinearity is found in many control system applications such as piezo-actuated nanopositioners. The positioner is represented as a linear system preceded by hysteresis. This hysteresis nonlinearity is usually modeled by operators in order to simulate their effects i…
Females are underrepresented in all levels of physics, while a simultaneous need exists to increase the physical science workforce pipeline. A review of current literature found exposure to more advanced pSTEM courses might influence students to pursue those career-fields, howev…
