Ideas for rent: an overview of markets for technology
No full textThis article surveys some of the recent literature on technology markets, and summarizes its main issues and insights. We structure our analysis in three parts: the supply and demand of technology; the factors that condition the formation and growth of technology markets; industry structure and dynamic issues. In addition, we summarize some of the studies that have tried to document the size and growth of these markets. We find that the literature has focused mainly on the supply of technology, but several other aspects of these markets remain under-studied, including the demand for external technology, the role of uncertainty in technology markets, and the dynamic interaction between industry structure and the market for technology. Understanding these will illuminate whether markets for technology will continue to grow or remained confined to pockets of the economy. Copyright 2010 The Author 2010.

Metrics for analytics and visualization of big data with applications to activity recognition
Get PDFActivity recognition systems detect the hidden actions of an agent from sensor measurements made on the agents' actions and the environmental conditions. For such systems, metrics are important for both performance evaluation and visualization purposes. In this thesis, such metrics are developed and illustrated. For human activity recognition datasets, a reporting structure is described to visualize the metrics in a systematic manner. The other contribution of this thesis is to describe a visualization tool for estimating the orientation (attitude) of a rigid body from streaming motion sensor (accelerometer and gyroscope) data. A feedback particle filter (FPF) is implemented algorithmically to solve the estimation problem.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2018-05-01The student, Rohan Arora, accepted the attached license on 2016-04-25 at 10:47.The student, Rohan Arora, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2016-04-25 at 10:48.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2016-04-27 at 15:05.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #9459 on 2016-07-07 at 14:17:57Made available in DSpace on 2016-07-07T21:18:02Z (GMT).

First generation Asian immigrants and mental health treatment
No full textAny first generation immigrant has a hard time assimilating to life in a new country, and this holds true for the Asian population and their mental health (Arora et al., 2020). This project focused on what impacts mental health of first generation Asian immigrants.Research presentationFaculty Mentor: Dr. Kathy Andrese
Off-Grid Energy Technologies used in Rural Areas of India
Get PDFEnergy scenario in India is changing with a greater pace. Growth rate of villages has increased, likewise their energy demand. With the awareness of the decreasing natural resources, non conventional energy resources are gaining lots of interest in sparsely separated areas. The rural areas of India are having the huge scarcity of energy because of limited energy resources and Grid connectivity is not feasible due to economic factors and geographical situations. So we require to establish the off grid system for the benefit of the mass. Off-grid System’s commissioning and operation done as indigenous unit, and free from grid related problems like frequency and voltage regulations and they provides flexible operation because their emphasis is on extraction of energy and conversion into useful work. This paper discusses the potential use of off-grid energy technologies as an alternative for grid extension. Off-grid Energy systems provide the solutions to the basic energy needs in the rural areas of India. These indigenously build plants are not connected to any electrical utility and can be connected with the micro grid for the better reliable operation. Due to small size their demand and load management would be easy. Off-grid system utilizes the solar thermal radiation, wind energy, geothermal energy, tidal wave, Biomass etc. There is numerous numbers of applications where we can use this energy and decrease the dependence on conventional grid.</jats:p
Towards automated classification of fine-art painting style: a comparative study
No full textThis thesis presents a comparative study of different classification methodologies for the task of fine-art genre classification. The problem of painting classification involves classifying new unknown paintings among different art genres. Two-level comparative study is performed for this classification problem. The first level reviews the performance of discriminative vs. generative models while the second level touches the features aspect of the paintings and compares Semantic-level features vs low-level and intermediate-level features present in the painting. Three models are studied and compared, namely - 1) A Discriminative model using a Bag-of-Words (BoW) approach; 2) A Generative model using BoW; 3) Discriminative model using Semantic-level features. Various experiments and techniques like Bag of Words model, Topic models and Classeme features are employed to get insights into potential of these automatic classification techniques for painting styles.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Ravneet Singh Aror
