Hyperspectral Coastal Image Analysis Toolbox (HyCIAT) enhancement: Subsurface linear unmixing and object detection by means of regularization
(2017)
This work presents an enhancement to the Hyperspectral Coastal Image Analysis Toolbox (HyCIAT). HyCIAT is a graphic interface developed in MATLAB, for the estimation of water optical properties, bathymetry and bottom ...
Evaluation of centerline rumble strips implementation in Puerto Rico: PR-114 case study
(2017)
A research study completed in 2016 by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), showed that 51% of the 32,675-motor vehicle traffic crash fatalities reported in 2014 occurred on the rural road network in ...
Estimation of Lidar backscatter gap, and aerosol size distribution using Artificial Neural Network Algorithms
(2017)
This work presents the design and implementation of two Artificial Neural Network (ANN) algorithms to (1) estimate data-gap in Lidar 1064 nm, and (2) determine and plot Aerosol Size Distribution (ASD) based on four available ...
Development of a lean accounting model for the assembly of temperature sensors for biomedical applications
(2017)
This project focused on the relationship between lean manufacturing and lean accounting. The objective was to develop a lean accounting conceptual model for a production line based on lean techniques but running under ...
Request for proposal of a public private partnership for the operation of Hotel Parador Hacienda Gripiñas in Jayuya
(2017)
This applied investigation envisions the creation of a public-private partnership between an autonomous municipality in Puerto Rico and a private entity through the issuance of a Request for Proposal (RFP). The main objective ...
Flipped Classroom: An alternative teaching method for introductory statistics courses
(2017-05)
From a passive student to an active student. From a teacher-centered education to a student-centered education. The inverted class or flipped classroom is a new teaching method in which, in one of its versions, technology ...
Development of a vehicle crash prediction model based on driver characteristics and traffic violations history
(2017)
Transportation systems should be designed to move people and goods in an efficient and safe manner. Safety on roads and highways can be measured in terms of the number of traffic crashes that occur in a time period. Although ...
Analysis and load rating of Reinforced Concrete Box Culverts (RCBC) without plans using reinforcement index to estimate their steel reinforcements
(2017)
This study considers the analysis and load rating of reinforced concrete box culverts (RCBC) without structural plans using an inferred procedure based on the reinforcement index to estimate the type and location of the ...
Hydrological and sediment study of the Quebrada de Oro watershed: UPR – Mayagüez stormwater management alternatives
(2017)
It has been suspected that during the recent decades, rainfall events have increased their intensity and frequency due to atmospheric changes. Because of these changes, regional levels of society have suffered significant ...
