    Ideas for rent: an overview of markets for technology

    No full text
    This 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

    No full text
    Activity 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 text
    Any 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

    Towards automated classification of fine-art painting style: a comparative study

    No full text
    This 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

    LoRaWAN Class B Multicast Scalability

    No full text
    LoRaWAN has emerged as a popular IoT commu- nications technology. It comes with three classes of operation: A, B, and C. Although many IoT use-cases, like Firmware-over- the-Air updates, require multicast, Class A cannot be used for that purpose. Class C can, but consumes a lot of energy. This leaves Class B. In this paper, we investigate Class B multicast and its scalability properties. Issues like multicast member capacity, beacon blocking, and beacon collisions are highlighted, and several approaches to mitigate them are proposed: (1) “Ping-Slot Relaying,” to allow for more multicast members, (2) a scheduling approach indicating when to best send multicast packets, and (3) “Dynamic Region Formation” to coordinate the sending of beacons over multiple gateways. The proposed solutions do not require any modifications to the LoRaWAN protocol.Virtual/online event due to COVID-19 accepted author manuscriptEmbedded System

    Search for pair-produced heavy fourth-generation bottom-like quarks decaying to bZ and tW in 8,TeV proton-proton collisions with multilepton final states

    No full text
    We present a search for anomalous production of events with three or more isolated leptons produced in proton-proton collisions at 8 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. We analyze 9.2 /fb of data collected by the CMS experiment during the 2012 LHC run. We categorize observed multilepton events into exclusive search channels based on various quantities based on the identity and kinematics of the objects in the events. The search channels are ordered by the amount of expected Standard Model background. Explicit use of requirements such as missing transverse energy or total hadronic energy is avoided. We emphasize data-based estimation of the Standard Model backgrounds, but also use simulation to estimate some of the backgrounds when appropriate. We interpret search results in the context of a model involving the exotic bottom-like quark bprime decaying to two different modes bZ and tW with varying branching ratios. We derive exclusion limits as a function of the bprime mass as well as the branching ratios.Ph. D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Sanjay R. Aror
