Predictive modeling has proven to be a valuable tool in process industry to estimate hard-to-measure variables that cannot be measured online. Those variables usually require LAB analysis to be quantified, which is time-consuming and costly. Predictive modeling can be used for both regression and...

Navigating Protective Custody Classification: Examining the Lived Experiences of PC Inmates
DownloadSpring 2019
Classification systems in prisons have consequences in both formal and informal ways for inmates. Protective custody (PC) units are especially unique spaces in which traditionally the most vilified populations – informally often referred to as “skinners, rats, and scaredy cats” – have been...

Social Participation and its Classification for Preschool Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
DownloadFall 2016
Background. Social participation is considered the ultimate aim of rehabilitation, particularly for preschool children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Given the inherent social difficulties of preschool children with ASD, social participation is a relevant and meaningful construct to explore...

Synchronisation and Wavelet Compression for Background Interference Classification in Wireless Environments
DownloadFall 2017
Dense wireless deployment environments are increasingly facing Radio Frequency (RF) spectrum congestion and increased levels of interference. Addressing the interference will require a distributed decision-making application on wireless nodes, that characterize the state of the channel with...
