Exploiting Sparsity in Amplify-and-Forward Broadband Multiple Relay Selection
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019-05-01)Cooperative communication has attracted significant attention in the last decade due to its ability to increase the spatial diversity order with only single-antenna nodes. However, most of the techniques in the literature ... -
Exploiting the CRISPR/Cas9 PAM Constraint for Single-Nucleotide Resolution Interventions
(2016-01-20)CRISPR/Cas9 is an enabling RNA-guided technology for genome targeting and engineering. An acute DNA binding constraint of the Cas9 protein is the Protospacer Adjacent Motif (PAM). Here we demonstrate that the PAM requirement ... -
Exploration of Podcast Corpora, Summarization, and Search
(2020-11-17)Podcasts have emerged as an increasingly ubiquitous form of media. This new medium carries several idiosyncrasies, such as multiple speakers, varying audio quality, oscillating topics, (etc.). As podcast consumption grows, ... -
Exploring Determinants for Recruitment and Retention of Family Doctors for rural Practice in Vietnam: Lessons from a Discrete Choice Experiment
(2017-12)In Vietnam, health professional shortage in rural and remote areas is a widely acknowledged problem. Policies promulgated up to now have had very little impact on correcting the critical geographical imbalance of health ... -
Exploring Medical Cyberlearning for Work at the Human/Technology Frontier with the Mixed-Reality Emotive Virtual Human System Platform
This paper describes the Mixed-Reality Emotive Virtual Human System Platform - a machine for cyberlearning at the human/technology frontier. Our initial use case is for medical school students practicing patient interviewing ... -
Exploring the Link between Low-Rank Coal Derived Organic Compounds in the Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer and Incidence of Kidney Disease in East Texas
(2017-12)Low-rank coal contains a myriad of organic compounds but little is known about the impact of these toxic compounds on human health when they are mobilized into groundwater and consumed. Ingestion of coal-tainted water has ... -
Exploring the Non-Linear Relationship between Alcohol Consumption and Depression in an Elderly Population in Gangneung: The Gangneung Health Study
(Yonsei University, 2015-02-09)Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine a J-shaped relationship between alcohol consumption and depression among the elderly in South Korea.; Materials and Methods: Cross-section data were drawn from a community-based ... -
Exponentially Stabilizing Controllers for Multi-Contact 3d Bipedal Locomotion
Models of bipedal walking are hybrid with continuous-time phases representing the Lagrangian stance dynamics and discrete-time transitions representing the impact of the swing leg with the walking surface. The design of ... -
Expressive Speech-Driven Lip Movements with Multitask Learning
The orofacial area conveys a range of information, including speech articulation and emotions. These two factors add constraints to the facial movements, creating non-trivial integrations and interplays. To generate more ... -

Extending and Implementing the Self-Calibration of Intrinsic Alignments of Galaxies to Current and Future Weak Lensing Surveys
(2018-05)This dissertation is about extending and applying the self-calibration method for mitigation of intrinsic alignments (IAs) of galaxies. These IA correlations are due to galaxy formation earlier processes that act as a ... -
Extending Battery System Operation via Adaptive Reconfiguration
(Assoc Computing Machinery, 2019-01-16)Large-scale battery packs are commonly used in applications such as electric vehicles (EVs) and smart grids. Traditionally, to provide stable voltage to the loads, voltage regulators are used to convert battery packs' ... -
Extensional and Accretionary Tectonics of Western North America: Examples from the Southern Walker Lane and Northwestern Washington State
(2018-12)In this work, I combine two studies which examine tectonics within the western North American Cordillera. The first study focuses on transtensional tectonics and displacement transfer within the eastern California shear ... -
Extensions of Semiparametric Single Index Models
(2017-12)In the recent decades, researchers have made tremendous progress in the study of nonparametric and semiparametric models. Among them, the semiparametric single-index model is intensively studied due to its simplicity and ... -
Extinction Learning Paired with Vagus Nerve Stimulation Enhances Behavioral Outcomes and Drives Plasticity in Extinction Networks
(2018-12)Extinction learning is integral to the treatment of substance use disorder (SUD), and anxiety and trauma related disorders such as phobia, generalized anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These disorders ... -
Extracellular Phosphorylation of a Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Controls Synaptic Localization of NMDA Receptors and Regulates Pathological Pain
Extracellular phosphorylation of proteins was suggested in the late 1800s when it was demonstrated that casein contains phosphate. More recently, extracellular kinases that phosphorylate extracellular serine, threonine, ... -
Extractive Meeting Summarization Through Speaker Zone Detection
In this paper we investigate the role of discourse analysis in extractive meeting summarization task. Specifically our proposed method comprises of two distinct steps. First we use a meeting segmentation algorithm in order ... -
