Speeding up Adaboost object detection with motion segmentation and Haar feature acceleration
A key challenge in a surveillance system is the object detection task. Object detection in general is a non-trivial problem. A sub-problem within the broader context of object detection which many researchers focus on is face detection. Numerous techniques have been proposed for face detection. One …

A Framework for Identifying Roadway Characteristics Affecting Speeding-Related Crashes in Rural Areas
Speeding is a major concern on all roadways and is a leading factor in traffic fatalities and serious injuries. Rural roadways are often disproportionately impacted by these traffic crashes and fatalities, despite the lower traffic volumes and populations. It is important to address this speeding …

Speeding into Action: The Influence of Paramilitary Culture on Disaster Response Organizations in the 2010 Haiti Earthquake
This dissertation examines the influence of paramilitary professional cultural attributes on the speed at which disaster response organizations (DROs) recognize, respond, organize, and take action in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. Three agencies are examined: the U.S. Coast Guard, the …

Speeding up high-order algorithms in computational fluid and kinetic dynamics: based on characteristics tracing and low-rank structures
Many physical phenomena can be described by nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). Yet, analytic solutions are oftentimes unavailable, and lab experiments can be time consuming and expensive; thus motivating the need for numerical solutions. Constructing low-storage, efficient and robust …

Speeding the uptake of electric vehicles in Australia: social attitudes to electric vehicle purchase and recommendations for government intervention to address market failures
Personal motorised transport overwhelmingly relies on oil based fuels that generate significant global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, thus contributing to global warming and exacerbating climate change. Recent models of electric vehicles (EVs) are suitable alternatives to conventional internal …

Speeding up solar disinfection : effects of hydrogen peroxide, temperature, and copper plus ascorbate on the photoinactivation of E. coli in Charles River water
Sunlight efficiently disinfects drinking water in plastic bottles over two days, but simple additives may show promise for reducing this time to several hours. This study found that adding up to 500 [micro]M hydrogen peroxide accelerates the room-temperature inactivation of E. coli K12 by sunlight …
