Modified Particle Filters for Detection of False Data Injection Attacks and State Estimation in Networked Nonlinear Systems by Nargess Sadeghzadeh-Nokhodberiz (16904952)

“…In this paper, it is firstly shown that with the normal SIS PF, the injected false data to the networked systems remains stealthy and therefore it is not possible to reduce the degrading effect of the attack on the estimation. However, with a modification in the proposal pdf, a modified SIS PF is then proposed which guarantees the attack detectability where the attacked measurements are incorporated in the particle generation process and thus the particles are updated and make the attack detectable. …”

Lyapunov Energy Function Based Control Method for Three-Phase UPS Inverters With Output Voltage Feedback Loops by Sertac Bayhan (16388511)

“…The presented paper demonstrates that the traditional Lyapunov-energy-function-based control method not only leads to considerable steady-state error in the output voltage, but also distorts the output voltage waveforms. Therefore, a modification has been performed on the traditional Lyapunov-energy-function-based control by incorporating the output voltage feedback loops in the control variables. …”

Anti-corrosive and oil sensitive coatings based on epoxy/polyaniline/magnetite-clay composites through diazonium interfacial chemistry by Khouloud Jlassi (14152731)

Dynamic multiple node failure recovery in distributed storage systems by Itani, May

“…The contribution of this paper is four-fold: i. we generate an optimized block distribution scheme that minimizes the total system repair cost of all dependent and independent multiple node failure scenarios; ii. we address the practical scenario of having newly arriving blocks and allocate those blocks to existing nodes without any modification to the original on-node block distribution; iii. we consider new-comer nodes and generate an updated optimized block distribution; iv. we consider optimized storage and recovery of blocks with varying priority using variable fractional repetition codes. …”

Association Between Hypothyroidism and Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Case-Control Study in the United States by Hassan, Manal M.

“…Restricted analyses among hepatitis virus–negative subjects, nondrinkers, nondiabetics, nonsmokers, and nonobese individuals indicated a significant association between hypothyroidism and HCC, with an approximate two-fold to three-fold increased risk of HCC development. We observed risk modification among women with diabetes mellitus (OR = 9.4; 95% CI = 2.7-32.7) and chronic hepatitis virus infection (OR = 31.2; 95% CI = 6.3-153.2). …”
