Human detection and tracking in surveillance videos by Wang, Bing

“…The thesis addresses the following challenging problems of detecting and tracking humans in the presence of occlusions in typical surveillance videos: (1) adaptation of semantic-part-based human detectors to new surveillance video sequence when trained detectors using other video data not performing well on the new video data; (2) tracking of humans with person identification minimizing identification errors over longer tracking periods; and (3) hierarchical spatial and temporal analysis for discriminative tracking of human targets. …”

Two models of dark triad traits and self-regulation dilemma predicting IP theft through self-deception by Yeo, Diana Mui Kheng

“…Using the results of data-driven studies on IP theft and the integrated model of employee theft, I developed two process models, one involving conflict of goals that meet ego needs and the other, conflict of goals that do not serve ego needs. I hypothesized that when motivated by personal goals, Dark Triad traits may moderate the relationship between goal conflict and cognitive and affective self-regulation dilemma, and, self-deception may mediate the relationship between Dark Triad traits, self-regulation dilemma and IP theft. …”

High-speed indoor MIMO visible light communications by Dong, F

“…Moreover, the peak overall data rate of the system with an ADR (676 Mbps) is 56 per cent higher than that with an ABR (434 Mbps), which means that an ADR shows better performance than an ABR when they are in a similar size. The proposed approach efficiently mitigates the crosstalk and improves the data rates in the MIMO system. …”

Space weather radiation effects on geostationary satellite solid-state power amplifiers by Lohmeyer, W. Q., Cahoy, K. L.

“…Five of the 26 anomalies, unfortunately, do not have corresponding science observations (specifically, electron flux data in the LANL data set), so part of this study focuses on the 21 anomalies when science observations were available. Six out of 21 anomalies experienced a high-energy electron flux greater than 1.5 standard deviations above the mean of the log(10) of the flux between 7 and 14days prior to the anomaly. …”
