This report details the development of different structural design building archetypes and other seismic enhancements, the cost estimation process applied to those archetypes, and the economic implications and estimation of differing functional recovery

We describe a quasi-determinstic channel propagation model for human gesture recognition reduced from real-time measurements with our context aware channel sounder, considering four human subjects and 20 distinct body motions, for a total of 120,000
Many engineers use analysis tools to predict behavior or find optimal values for properties of systems built to proposed designs, informing system design work by identifying cases where a design will perform incorrectly or in suboptimal ways. Design and

Harmonizing serology measurements (i.e., rendering them interchangeable) is critical for comparing results across different diagnostics platforms, developing associated reference materials, and thereby informing medical decisions. However, the theoretical
This report presents a comprehensive update to the collection of dwellings used to represent the U.S. housing stock, reflecting changes and trends up to the year 2024. This update aims to ensure the collection remains relevant and accurately mirrors the

Real-time constraint management schemes for timevarying or parameter-varying systems often result in conservative (slow) responses or carry a heavy computational burden. This makes some of the existing solutions less suitable for practical applications

We present empirical models for measured frequency-dependent insertion loss (|S21|) in a prototypical TSV enabled 3D-IC from SEMATECH. The model parameters are determined with a stochastic optimization implementation of the Levenberg-Marquardt method. We
A variety of network modeling problems begin by generating a degree sequence drawn from a given probability distribution. If the randomly generated sequence is not graphic, we give two new approaches for generating a graphic approximation of the sequence
This report presents an approach to verifying executability of system behavior models by treating them as logical constraint problems solved using Alloy Analyzer, a non-proprietary software tool supporting a textual language for logical constraints and
We present an \it ab initio} method for computing vibro-polariton and phonon-polariton spectra of molecules and solids coupled to the photon modes of optical cavities. We demonstrate that if interactions of cavity photon modes with both nuclear and

Millimeter-wave (MmWave) channel characteristics are quite different from sub-6 GHz frequency bands. The major differences include higher path loss and sparser multipath components (MPCs), resulting in more significant time-varying characteristics in
While spiking neuromorphic hardware holds promise for efficient implementations of artificial intelligence, the impact has been limited due in part to a lack of learning algorithms that achieve performance superior to conventional deep learning. One

Monitoring vital signs such as breathing or heart rates as well as other physical movements in complex environments is the basis for many emerging applications spanning from healthcare to autonomous vehicles. Designing Radar systems capable of remotely
We review the current status of efforts to develop and deploy post-quantum cryptography on the Internet. Then we suggest specific ways in which quantum technologies might be used to enhance cybersecurity in the near future and beyond. We focus on two goals

We consider solitonic excitations above the ground state of $F=1$ spin orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensates (SOBECs). The low energy properties of SOBECs in any of the three branches of the single particle dispersion relation can be described by
We simultaneously design the porosity and plane symmetry of self-assembling colloidal films by using isohedral tiles to determine the location and shape of enthalpically interacting surface patches on motifs being functionalized. The symmetries of both the
Community resilience planning is challenging as it involves several large-scale systems with interdependency, populations with diverse socio-economic characteristics, and numerous stakeholders. This study introduces a new optimization model to decrease a

Mobile manipulators, which are robotic systems integrating an automatic or autonomous mobile base with a manipulator, can potentially enhance automation in many industrial and unstructured environments. Namely, large-scale manufacturing processes, typical

The additive manufacturing benchmarking challenge described in this work was aimed at the prediction of average stress–strain properties for tensile specimens that were excised from blocks of non-heat-treated IN625 manufactured by laser powder bed fusion

The quantification of the amount of absorbed light is essential for understanding laser-material interactions and melt pool dynamics in order to minimize defects in additive manufactured metal components. The geometry of a vapor depression, also known as a

We conduct WRF simulations at multiple resolutions down to the "grey zone" (9 km, 3 km, 1 km, 333 m) to examine boundary layer turbulence in three planetary boundary layer (PBL) schemes: the well-established MYNN PBL scheme and the two newest PBL schemes

Accurate channel propagation modeling of foliage is critical to the design and deployment of wireless networks, given its pervasive nature in rural, suburban, and urban environments. Its blockage effects can be particularly devastating at millimeter-wave
Due to the proliferation of computers in all aspects of our lives, the energy and ecological impacts of computing are becoming increasing important. Some of the transformative algorithms of recent years generate huge amounts of carbon dioxide, potentially
