DATA DRIVEN TOOL WEAR ANALYSIS THROUGH FEATURE SELECTION FROM PROCESS SIGNALS
(2025-12-15)With the increasing adoption of data-driven techniques in manufacturing, industries are leveraging advanced analytics and machine learning to enhance process efficiency and reliability. One critical area where these ... -
Data-Augmented Motion Planning and Predictive Control for Robotic Jumping on Highly Dynamical Terrains
(2025-05-08)Model-based controllers have shown strong performance in a wide range of robotic systems, from relatively simple platforms such as drones and unicycle cars to more complex systems such as quadrupedal and bipedal robots. ... -
The Democratic Party and the gubernatorial election of 1876 in South Carolina.
(1968)Contents include: the background of reconstruction and the beginning of democratic reorganization, the struggle to reorganize the democratic party, democratic campaign tactics, and the election and the dual government. -
DEMOGRAPHIC, BEHAVIORAL, AND MOTIVATIONAL VARIATION AMONG ANGLERS IN URBAN AND RURAL RECREATIONAL FISHERIES
(2026-05-06)Recreational fisheries are increasingly recognized as social–ecological systems, yet variation in angler characteristics across fishing modes and locations remains poorly understood. Using creel survey data from Wisconsin, ... -
Description and analysis of artifacts from Rosenbaum Rockshelter, Dane County, Wisconsin
(1977)Work includes: site information (location, description, and excavation), artifact description, and discussion of cultural stratigraphy. -
The Design and Analysis of CRU Lifting and Placement Systems for Project Dune
(2025-08-21)The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is an international collaboration investigating neutrino physics. One of the key objectives is to understand the start of the universe. What causes asymmetry to occur between ... -
The Design and Development of Compact Toroid Injection System to Study Reconnection Dynamics in MST
(2024-08-23)This thesis details the design and development of an experimental setup to investigate compact toroid (CT) dynamics in tokamak plasmas, specifically on the MST device. The research aims to better understand how a CT traverses ... -
Design and Development of Structures, Installation Tools, Installation Procedures, and Models for the Vertical Drift Detector of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment
(2025-05-09)The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment’s (DUNE) goal is to measure the oscillation of neutrinos between their three flavor states. The measurement is performed by generating, selecting, and measuring a known flavor of ... -
DESIGN AND EXPERIMENTAL VALIDATION OF FORCED-AIR RECIRCULATING FURNACES FOR THERMAL INACTIVATION OF SHELL EGGS CONTAMINATED WITH HIGHLY PATHOGENIC AVIAN INFLUENZA
(2026-05-07)Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreaks present significant challenges for industrial table egg farms. Specifically for this work, the recovery process requires these facilities to dispose of the shell eggs ... -
DESIGN OF A WIRELESS TEMPERATURE DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM FOR MONITORING EGG TEMPERATURES DURING THERMAL INACTIVATION OF THE HPAI VIRUS
(2026-05-08)For shell egg production facilities, disposing of palletized egg products contaminated with highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) presents logistical and resource related challenges. Previous research has demonstrated ... -
DETERMINING THERMAL PROPERTIES FROM VISUAL IDENTIFICATION OF DRILL CUTTINGS AND THE LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT OF A DISTRICT-SCALE GEOTHERMAL EXCHANGE SYSTEM
(2024-12-20)Geothermal exchange systems consist of underground HDPE piping that is used to pump an exchanger fluid into the ground to either extract heat from or expel heat into the ground. When properly designed, geothermal exchange ...
