Sequential test allocation for estimating software reliability with associated cost
We use a sequential method to allocate software test cases among partitions of a software to minimize the expected loss incurred by the Bayes estimator of the overall software reliability. The Bayesian approach allows us ...
Use of Biomechanical Motion Analysis and Pelvic Surgery Simulator for the Prevention of Surgical Errors in Mid-urethral Sling Anti-Incontinence Surgery
(2023)
More than 200 million surgeries are performed annually worldwide in which preventable complications occur in up to 22 percent of these surgeries, with permanent disability rates between 0.4 - 0.8 percent. Resident surgeons ...
Efficient sequential designs with asymptotic second-order lower bound of Bayes risk for estimating product of means
(2019)
In order to estimate the reliability of sequentially designed procedures under the Bayesian framework with conjugate priors, a sharp lower bound for the Bayes risk has been derived. Chapter 1 and 2 introduce the background ...
Examination of postoperative outcomes following elective colorectal surgery
(2023)
While a considerable amount of progress has been made on reducing poor postoperative outcomes following elective colon resection, including the design of a colectomy-specific Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program, ...
A Mathematical Modelling Approach to Analyze the Dynamics of Math Anxiety
(2022)
The main objective of this study is to develop a mathematical modeling framework for a deeper understanding of dynamics of math anxiety as a contagious process. Borrowing from theories of the spread of infectious disease, ...
Comparative Investigation of LIBS Spectra and Crater Morphology During Laser Ablation of Eutectic BiSn Alloys
(2022)
Laser-based methods such as pulsed laser deposition (PLD) that are used for fabricating structural and functional materials are ripe for dramatic improvement. However, because laser–material interactions are dependent on ...
Development of an advanced Hybrid (U)RANS/LES turbulence models using Scale Adaptive Simulation (SAS) method
(2022)
Turbulence is a ubiquitous phenomenon occurring in most practical fluid flows. The accurate prediction of turbulent flows is evident in optimizing and developing highly efficient modern fluid systems. Several turbulence ...
Measuring Level of Degradation in Power Semiconductor Devices using Emerging Techniques
(2021)
High thermal and electrical stress, over a period of time tends to deteriorate the health of power electronic switches. Being a key element in any high-power converter systems, power switches such as insulated-gate bipolar ...
Moving Mesh Finite Element Method for Time Dependent Convection-Diffusion Problems
(2021)
The moving mesh finite element method (MM-FEM) has been a significant force in numerically approximating solutions to differential equations that otherwise exhibit spurious, artificial oscillations. This is especially true ...
Multi-hazard resilience assessment of river-crossing bridges
(2021)
Bridge structures are required to possess high reliability and robustness against the concurrent effect of extreme loads and environmental attacks. To achieve such interrelated goals, it is necessary to assess the system ...
Convolutional Neural Networks for Early Diagnosing of Breast Cancer
(2022)
Due to the high demand for mammograms, radiologists are swamped with many patients' mammograms. Radiologists' workload has increased dramatically over the last 15 years during on-call hours. This rise is due to an increase ...
DFT study of electronic structure and mechanical properties of clay minerals, and using large-scale supercell modeling for solvated montmorillonite
(2024)
Clay mineral materials have attracted attention due to their many properties and applications. The applications of clay minerals are closely linked to their structure and composition. Here, we studied the electronic structure ...
