Probabilistic modeling of planar pushing
… (GP), and the probabilistic modeling of planar pushing by combining input-dependent GPs and GP-SUM. The main advantages of GP-SUM for filtering are that it does not rely on linearizations or unimodal Gaussian approximations of the belief. Moreover, it can be seen as a combination of a …

Various pushing methods on grid graphs
This thesis describes algorithms for determining if a grid of switches can be turned into all-off state from any initial configuration by various methods of activation operation (push). Among these push methods, besides the regular "+" push, "+" push with no center, "X" push, "X" push with no …

Pushing the limits of wireless networks
Wireless networks are everywhere around us and form a big part of our day-to-day lives. In this dissertation, we address the key challenges and opportunities of modern wireless networks. First, perhaps our biggest expectation from modern wireless networks is faster communication speeds. However, …

Pushing with a physics-based model
… lifting is inconvenient or infeasible, because pushing requires fewer contacts and fights against only a fraction of the object's weight. However, pushing results are hard to predict, because the physical parameters that govern the pushing motion are difficult to measure. We derived a …

Pushing the limits of traditional unsupervised learning
Unsupervised learning has important applications in extremely large data settings such as in medical, biological, social, and environmental data. Typically in these settings, copious amounts of data are collected, with the additional burden of high dimensionality and unavailability of class labels. …

Pushing/Pulling Exertions Disturb Trunk Postural Stability
… have investigated the spinal stability during pushing and pulling exertions. Past studies suggest that the spine can be stabilized by paraspinal muscle stiffness as well as reflexes. We hypothesized that the stability of the spine decreases with exertion force and decreases during pushing more …

Pushing the Limits: Testing, Magnetometry and Ontario Lithic Scatters
Lithic scatters, small ephemeral clusters of stone artifacts on cultivated surfaces, lie on the periphery of archaeology. These sites are often too ephemeral to be fully understood through standardized fieldwork methodologies mandated in Ontario CRM archaeology and yet, they are widely regarded as …

The Marquis de Cuevas : pushing the boundaries of self
Chilean dance impresario Marquis George de Cuevas was born Jorge Cuevas Bartholin (1885-1961) and is best remembered as a fashionable socialite of the 1940s and 50s who married heiress Margaret Rockefeller Strong and founded several ballet companies in Europe and America in the wake of the great …

Upconverting nanoparticles: pushing theory and technology towards biomedical applications
Biophotonics faces a significant challenge in developing non-invasive imaging and interrogation techniques with high spatial resolution and penetration depth for precise diagnosis and treatment. These techniques rely on non-ionising radiation and non-toxic contrast agents possessing excellent photo …

Pushing the Limits of RF and Underwater Backscatter Systems
Backscatter communication systems, in both air and water, are great alternatives to traditional communication systems due to their low power requirement. The fact that backscatter systems can communicate at near-zero power makes them desirable for long-term applications such as environmental …

Pushing On: A Grounded Theory Study of Maternal Perinatal Bereavement.
… most of the action in the theory, was named "pushing on" and describes how the women managed to moved beyond the overwhelming pain of the loss and eventually experience transcendence.</p><p>Findings of this study help unify and explain previous research by providing an empirically derived …

Pushing the Limits of Active Data Selection with Gradient Matching
As modern machine learning systems grow in scale, the inefficiencies of training on large, noisy, and imbalanced datasets have become increasingly pronounced—particularly in computer vision, where real-world data often contain labeling errors, occlusions, and redundancy. While large models can …

Low Back Biomechanical Analysis of Isometric Pushing and Pulling Tasks
… and stabilizing control of the spine during pushing and pulling exertions. Past theoretical investigation suggest that co-contraction of the of the paraspinal muscles is necessary to stabilize the spine during pushing exertions. We hypothesized greater levels of co-contraction during pushing …

Ingmar Bergman and Jacques Tati: Pushing the boundaries between sound and silence
Despite suffering from the after-effects of both World Wars and competition with music halls, mime, and theatre, film as a medium still managed to become the most prevalent form of mass entertainment. This could be due to the combination of many art forms, from visual, storytelling, or musical …
