Timing of Mask Fitting as a Predictor of Adherence in Children Requiring Non-Invasive Ventilation Therapy
DownloadFall 2024
Introduction: The utilization of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in the pediatric population is becoming increasingly prevalent. NIV is a form of breathing support that employs a mask interface outside the airway. It provides necessary respiratory support that improves patients’ quality of life by...

Tiny Object Detection in Remote Sensing Images: End-to-End Super-Resolution and Object Detection with Deep Learning
DownloadFall 2020
In this thesis, we study the problem of detecting small objects on low-resolution (LR) satellite imagery. Small-object detection is a challenging problem, especially from LR images. To tackle the challenge, we propose a method to generate super-resolution images from low-resolution images and...

TiO2 Nanotube Arrays with Engineered Geometries: Growth, Characterization and Study of Selected Interfaces
DownloadSpring 2016
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a wide band gap, robust, n-type semiconductor whose transformation into vertically-oriented nanotube arrays makes them suitable electron percolation pathways for vectorial charge transfer togerther with high surface area. Growth of self-organized TiO2 nanotube arrays as...
