Automated Rod Length Measurements on Radiographs and Sonograms in Children with Early Onset Scoliosis
DownloadFall 2024
Early Onset Scoliosis (EOS) is a medical condition that is defined as a lateral curvature of the spine with vertebral rotation in children under age 10. Approximately 2-3% of children worldwide have scoliosis. Surgical intervention is the most effective management to treat these children who have...

Data-Driven Based Methods for Physical Layer Detection and Estimation in 5G and Beyond Wireless Communication Systems
DownloadFall 2023
The fifth-generation (5G) mobile network is growing rapidly and is set to revolutionize the way we communicate, work and live. It offers faster speeds, lower latency, and greater capacity than previous generations of mobile networks. Three main use cases have been defined for fifth-generation...

Unmanned aerial vehicles or UAVs have largely become and continue to be an inseparable part of modern warfare, security and surveillance systems, first aid response, aerial cinematography and many other sectors. Therefore, achieving full autonomy for UAVs and drones would ensure mass mobilization...

Deep Learning-based Forecasting and Energy Management Algorithms for Smart Grid Applications
DownloadFall 2023
With the increasing global problems concerning energy security and climate change, new challenges in social progress and human survival have come to the fore. Requiring no fuel, and being renewable and non-polluting, renewable energy (RE) resources, typically from photovoltaic and wind sources,...
