RF-Based Indoor Localization Around Corners
… practical solution for localizing people around corners. Optical solutions try to track hidden people through their visible shadows on the floor or a sidewall, but they can easily fail depending on the ambient light and the environment. More recent work has considered the use of radio frequency …

Ethnographic descriptions of English corners in Shanghai
… exchange information. The limitations with the corners were firstly the lack of fluent and accurate English speakers and secondly the low level of English language competency to which the learners had access in a society that demonstrates massive modernization

Stokes flows near boundaries: bacteria, corners, and pumps
… by problems in biological physics occurring near corners, we derive the asymptotic behaviour for the Stokeslet (a flow due to a point force at low Reynolds number) both near and far from a corner geometry by using complex analysis on a known double integral solution for corner flows. We analyse …

Diffraction by Building Corners at 28 Ghz: Measurements and Modeling
This thesis presents the results of a 28 GHz continuous-wave (CW) diffraction measurement campaign in the Washington, DC area. It describes the measurement approach including information on equipment and testing methods. Also described are the various parameters that affected the diffraction loss. …

Numerical methods for viscous fluid flows in sectors, cones, and domains with corners
… sectors, cones, and finite 2D domains with corners. The focus of the research was on the flow regimes near the corner, far from the corner (in case of sectors and cones), and in the transition zones. Efficient computational methods were developed for these problems. Examples of flows were …

Extreme imaging via physical model inversion : seeing around corners and imaging black holes
… the size of the Earth, and seeing around corners. For the first imaging problem, this thesis investigates ways to reconstruct images and video from a sparse telescope array distributed around the globe. Additionally, it presents a number of evaluation techniques developed to rigorously …

Detection of dynamic obstacles out of the line of sight for autonomous vehicles to increase safety based on shadows
Moving obstacles occluded by corners are a potential source for collisions in mobile robotics applications such as autonomous vehicles. In this work, we address the problem of anticipating such potential collisions by proposing a vision-based detection algorithm for obstacles which are outside of a …

Similarity Solutions for the Two-Dimensional Diffusion–Advection Equation in Sharp-Corner Geometries
… Low-Reynolds-number flow patterns near sharp corners, including Moffatt eddies, have been studied extensively in the past. Here, we focus on the effect of Moffatt eddies on concentration profiles near sharp corners. The Lie symmetry method is applied to the 2D diffusion-advection equation to …
