Shades of Fine
The following is a collection of personal essays that re-create and reflect on select events that occurred in my life between the ages of eighteen and twenty-four.

Fine-grained cryptography
Fine-grained cryptography is the study of cryptographic objects that are required to be secure only against adversaries that are moderately more powerful than the honest parties. This weakening in security requirements opens up possibilities for meaningful cryptographic constructions in various …

Fine Coal Dewatering
Fine coal constitutes a relatively small portion of a product stream in a coal cleaning plant. However, its processing cost is approximately three times higher than the cost of processing coarse coal. Therefore, many coal companies chose to discard the fines to refuse ponds, causing a loss of …

Fine-grained visual comparisons
… decision. In this thesis, I explore the task of fine-grained visual comparisons, or relative attributes. Given two images, we want to predict which exhibits a particular visual attribute more than the other. Specifically, I explore the scenario where the images exhibit subtle -- thus fine-grained …

It's a Fine Line
<p>My YA novel, <em>It's a Fine Line</em>, is the first of a three-part series about three African American teens living in metro Atlanta. The speaker makes every effort within his power to maintain the friendship as they begin to embark on and pursue interests that seem to divide the relationship …

Fine-grained artworks classification
… new architecture is evaluated on the challenging fine-grained artist and year classification. We also propose a regularization method that penalizes correlations of convolutional feature maps. With the decorrelation regularization, we further improve the classification accuracy of the proposed …

Fine-grained painting classification
… to classifying an object. This makes the task of fine-grained classification of paintings even harder. In this thesis, we evaluate the classification of paintings into its various styles, genres, artists and formulate the problem of dating paintings as a classification problem. We experiment with …

Fine-tuning generative models
… Instead, we propose various methods of fine-tuning pre-trained generative models to achieve these goals, and evaluate these methods quantitatively on few-shot classification and interpretability tasks.

Lightless Mornings: A Fine Legacy
<p><em>Lightless Mornings: A Fine Legacy</em> represents a personal interrogation and historical account of my great-great -great grandfather, W.D. McCurdy’s use of forced labor in his coalmines and cotton plantations in the Black Belt region of Alabama during the late 19th and early 20th …

Fine Particulate Matter, Neuropathologies, & Dementia
Neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related dementias (ADRD), affect over 47 million people worldwide, and this number is anticipated to reach 131.5 million by 2050. Because no medication successfully reverses the course of dementia, researchers are focusing …

Combustion of fine magnesium particles
… and understand combustion dynamics for fine Mg powders. Spherical, micron-sized magnesium particles were introduced in an air-acetylene flame using a custom-made screw feeder. Particles were observed to burn in laminar flames as well as in the flames with turbulence induced by a swirling …

Generalizing fine-grained message aggregation
The divergence of application behavior from optimal network usage leads to performance bottlenecks induced by communication. Communication performances are known to worsen when dealing with large quantities of small messages, due to the overhead of envelopes and going through the communication …

Being Human: Fine-Tuning Moral Naturalism
… of theory in morality, cannot accommodate the fineness of morally good deeds. Turning to the work of writers in the Wittgensteinian tradition I show how ethics is dependent on a sense of the human condition, rather than on a theory of human nature. In other words, to explain the fineness of …

Rate Effects in Fine Grained Soils
The strain rate dependent behaviour of fine grained soils is an important aspect of geotechnical engineering. During dynamic or rapid events such as earthquakes and rapid pile testing, a fine grained soil will display significantly different behaviour than may be observed over the long life span of …

Time dependence in fine-particle systems
… a non interacting ensemble of Stoner-Wohlfarth fine particles has been investigated. The particles typically represent the elongated single domain ferromagnetic particles that have widespread application in the magnetic recording industry. The particle ensemble considered exhibits both …

Spin dynamics of fine magnetic particles
A computer model of fine magnetic particles has been developed based on the Landau-Lifshitz equation. It is a dynamic model which allows the detailed behaviour of the magnetic moments during magnetisation changes to be investigated. The model was initially used to study gyroremanent magnetisation …
