Multimaterial Fiber Sensors for Physical Measurements
Polymer fiber sensors have been extensively explored over the past few decades for biomedical, structural health monitoring, and environmental monitoring applications. Their low melting point and well-established processing methods make them easily integrable with other materials, such as metals, …

Investigation of Chicago Air Pollution and Meteorological Influence on Pollution Development: Physical Measurements and Multivariate Statistical Analyses
<p>The goal of this project was to evaluate air pollutants and meteorology in Chicago, Illinois during summers 2010, 2011, and 2012. Sixty-six collection days of air pollutant and meteorological data were completed at the Loyola University Chicago sampling station atop Mertz Hall. Trace gases, …

Effects of collagen content, fiber alignment, storage and heating on cooking characteristics, dimensional changes and microstructure of restructured beef
… in proximate composition, salt content, pH and physical measurements but different in total collagen were manufactured and stored for either 40, 85 or 130 days before cooking by broiling or roasting. HC steaks tended to require less time for heat to penetrate than LC steaks. Collagen levels did …

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance of Platinum Catalysts: The Discovery of The Surface Resonance
… peaks. Using lineshape and relaxation time measurements coupled with other physical measurements, we can associate a low field peak in the lineshape structure with a single layer of platinum nuclei on the surface of the platinum particles, bonded to adsorbed atoms.

Physical specifications and measurements of the MIT Graphite Exponential Pile
… similar to that of the MGEP. Having a physical reactor to which these analytical solutions can be easily compared can highlight where the assumptions of the equations break down. In addition, introducing Monte-Carlo simulation allows for a more rigorous investigation into the …

Rhythmic Layering: The Baladi Project
… through the translation of Arabic music into physical measurement as well as less tangible attributes that shaped the final design. There was an attempt to find a link between dance and architecture. Both dance and architecture can be physical representations of something less tangible. In the …

Predicting Progression of Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Steatotic Liver Disease
… to train our models, incorporating demographics, physical measurements, lab results, and doctor notes. As a result of this project, we our best model was an XGBoost classifier with an AUROC of 0.800 with random forest at a similar performance of 0.786. However, all of our models had low AUPRC and …

Deep learning with physical and power-spectral priors for robust image inversion
… to recover unknown objects of interest from physical measurements. Deep learning has been used in computational imaging, typically in the supervised mode and in an End-to-End fashion. However, treating the machine learning algorithm as a mere black-box is not the most efficient, as the …
