Supervised machine learning has become a powerful method of creating predictions and classifying labeled data sets. the ability to analyze and classify data is a powerful tool used in applications spanning almost every industry. the most popular class . . .

Ancient authigenic dolomites (e.g., concretions) have been studied extensively in order to determine formation conditions and characterize shallow diagenetic environments. the formation of these dolomites is commonly attributed to the anaerobic microb . . .

An Ultrasonic Powder Consolidation (UPC) is an additive manufacturing technique that utilizes high-frequency vibrations to consolidate micro/nano powder materials to fully dense and near to net-shaped parts. Experimental studies have shown that UPC pr . . .

Bone tissue is typically stored frozen (cryopreservation) for bone grafts or tissue investigation. Whole osteocytic bone, bone with osteocytes, is resistant to the damaging effects of cryopreservation. Anosteocytic bone, bone without osteocytes, is p . . .

In this thesis, the concept of neural networks, a form of machine learning, is applied to network intrusion detection to compare the performance of shallow and deep neural networks. Neural networks provide a robust method of machine learning that can . . .

Standing meditation (SM) is the fundamental component of Tai Chi Chuan (TCC)—a complex neuromotor exercise found to be associated with many health benefits including improved mindfulness and fall reduction in older adults (OA). PROBLEM: Despite its im . . .

Immigrants face many psychosocial stressors when leaving their culture of origin and acclimating to a new host culture. Ethnic minorities have less positive attitudes about mental health, even though they may actually be a population that should seek . . .
