Risk Considerations in the Use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in the Construction Industry
(2016-12)
The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the construction industry is swiftly growing worldwide. UAVs
are changing the way construction companies do business. Contractors are increasingly using camera-mounted
UAVs ...
Automated classification of massive scale image data
(East Carolina University, 2016-12-13)
The diffraction image is a useful method to facilitate the representation of tiny entities such as the cell. It provides an efficient way to analyze the 3D morphological features of biological cells. However, the ...
INTELLIGENT MODEL FOR IMAGE-BASED RECOMMENDATION SYSTEM
(East Carolina University, 2016-08-29)
Online shopping has developed in parallel with the Internet, and Recommendation Systems have played a pivotal role in its growth. The recommendations are usually provided in two ways: Content-based Filtering and Collaborative ...
Back-Projective Priming: Toward Efficient 3d Model-based Object Recognition via Preemptive Top-down Constraints
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-25)
This thesis introduces back-projective priming, a computer vision technique that synergistically fuses object recognition and pose estimation by augmenting 3D models with geometric constraints. It also enables the use of ...
Utilizing Brain Activity to Non-Invasively Predict Blood Glucose Levels
(East Carolina University, 2016-12-16)
Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic condition that must be routinely self-monitored to prevent life threatening complications, diabetic coma, and to mitigate long-term complications, such as neuropathy and kidney failure. Despite ...
A framework for mining on Twitter data

Twitter is an online social networking service with more than 300 million users, generating a huge amount of information every day. Twitter's most important characteristic is its ability for users to tweet about events, ...
Teaching Ethics for Construction Management Majored Students: Standalone or Micro-insert? – Globalization and Sustainability Considerations
(2016-06)
Ethical decision-making is central to the practice of construction management. This is no more
evident than in the twenty-first century, when the construction industry must function in very
diverse organizational contexts. ...
Can Steel Slag Be Used as an Aggregate in Concrete and How? A Technical Approach by and Testing and Theoretical Molding
(2016-05)
Steel slag is the molten byproduct from steelmaking operations that is subsequently air-cooled for use. It has been used in cement manufacture and as unbound granular materials in construction. While numerous studies have ...
