However, as advancements in renewable energy technology continue, adding renewables to one's home or business is becoming more and more beneficial. The prices of renewables such as solar panels and wind turbines has decreased drastically over the past couple decades. This is shifting their use from being not only beneficial to the environment, but to the wallet as well. This research is focused primarily on the monetary perquisites resulting from the use of renewables. That is, how much is the installation cost, how long is the payback period, and how much of a profit may result.","PeriodicalId":368197,"journal":{"name":"SoutheastCon 2017","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130812647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since weathering is a surface phenomenon it can be assessed using surface imaging techniques. The surface roughness of twelve cylindrical limestone specimens from Florida were assessed using analysis of close-range photogrammetry. Dense point clouds produced from the specimens were unwrapped and triangulated using Delaunay triangulation. Outward normal facing vectors were computed for each triangle and the γ-values were assessed. Smooth surfaces had lower average γ-values and lower standard deviations than rough surfaces. Surface roughness could easily be distinguished using lognormal probability density functions based on average and standard deviation of the γ-values. For smooth specimens, histograms of γ-values were similar to the probability density functions. However, for rough specimens the histograms of γ-values were not similar to the probability density functions. The histograms for the roughest specimens showed a bimodal distribution of values with peaks at both the low and high ends of the histograms.","PeriodicalId":368197,"journal":{"name":"SoutheastCon 2017","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115007976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its effects are mostly manifested as hydrological drought. Identifying past droughts and predicting future ones is very vital in limiting their effects. However, the random and nonlinear nature of drought variables makes accurate drought prediction remain a challenging scientific problem. Neural networks have shown great promise over the last two decades in modeling nonlinear time series. But the issue of nonconvex optimization ensues when two or more hidden layers are required for highly complex phenomena. This research looks into the drought prediction problem using deep learning algorithms. We propose a Deep Belief Network consisting of two Restricted Boltzmann Machines for long-term drought prediction using lagged values of Standardized Streamflow Index (SSI) as inputs. The proposed model is applied to predict different time scale drought indices across the Gunnison River Basin located in the Upper Colorado River Basin. The study compares the efficiency of the proposed model to that of traditional approaches such as Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and Support Vector Regression (SVR) for predicting the different time scale drought conditions. The proposed model shows an edge in performance over the traditional methods using Root Mean Square Error and Mean Absolute Error as metrics.","PeriodicalId":368197,"journal":{"name":"SoutheastCon 2017","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121493903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Naturally, to gather the equipment and tools necessary to perform successful localization is not cost effective and time efficient. In order to alleviate such gruesome issues we have developed a localization software system that is able to virtualize real-world indoor localization. The system features its Plug-and-Play ability by being able to accept different inputs within the different components and still function effectively without external intervention. In this paper we present our software and describe the different components that work together. Our goal is to develop a robust and extensible software system that is able to virtualize localization strategies and provide accurate results without the need for real-world testing.","PeriodicalId":368197,"journal":{"name":"SoutheastCon 2017","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116888316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is also completely possible and not uncommon for a user to have more than one online profile or even a completely different anonymous online identity. Sometimes it is needed to unmask the anonymity of certain profiles, or to identify two difference profiles as belonging to the same user. Entity Resolution (ER) is the task of matching two different online profiles potentially from different social networks. Solving ER has a number of benefits, amongst them are enhanced terrorist screening, improved marketing strategies, elimination of duplicate profiles, identification of fake profiles, etc. Our solution compares profiles based on various different attributes such as their usernames, real names, locations, languages and other similar attributes. We developed various string similarity algorithms and used other algorithms from another project to compare profiles, without using training. The system we developed was tested in a needle-in-a-haystack scenario where the system was tasked with matching two profiles that were in a pool of extremely similar profiles.","PeriodicalId":368197,"journal":{"name":"SoutheastCon 2017","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114319385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The challenge of intrusion detection is further complicated because, as advances are made in the ability to detect attacks, similar advances are made by adversaries to thwart those detective measures. Although numerous machine learning algorithms and approaches have proven effective in detecting cyberattacks, these algorithms have limitations, especially in dealing with adversarial environments. This study addresses the problem that there is not an effective machine learning algorithm that minimizes human interaction to train and evolve the learner to adapt to changing cyberattacks and evasive tactics. This research concludes that selective sampling of unlabeled data for classification by a human expert can result in more efficient labeling for large datasets and demonstrates a more resilient approach to machine learning that utilizes active learning to interact with human subject matter experts and that adapts to changing data, thus addressing issues related to data tampering and evasion.","PeriodicalId":368197,"journal":{"name":"SoutheastCon 2017","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131277545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The video's constituent I, P, and B frames are forecast separately to improve model forecasting accuracy. The proposed forecasting model is able to forecast H.265 encoded High-Definition videos with an accuracy exceeding 90%. In addition, using the video bandwidth requirement predictions as grant requests within EPONs improved the efficiency of dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA).

Today's world includes entire industries focused on digital misinformation, whose rumors can spread quickly via social networks such as Facebook not only because of their structure (e.g., clustering) but also because individuals can place an excessively high trust in information originating from their friends. Relaying information from our friends and ignoring or being unaware of other opinions leads to polarized groups, such as liberals or conservatives in a political context. While numerous models of rumor spreads have been proposed, their focus was more often on the conditions to stop/verify one rumor than in accounting for a polarized context. In this paper, we develop a new model of rumor spread with two different susceptibility rates, which can be used to investigate cases in which the population can be sub-divided with respect to one rumor (e.g. based on political opinions or socio-economic factors such as educational attainment). We describe the dynamics of the model using differential equations, and present numerical results regarding the model behavior with respect to key parameters such as the rate with which rumors are forgotten. While our work took into account network features (e.g., average degree), it is of particular interest for future work to examine the interplay between the network structure and the distribution of susceptibility rates.","PeriodicalId":368197,"journal":{"name":"SoutheastCon 2017","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132962603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also present, PolyGen, an automated tool that generates scalable floating point polynomial evaluation units. Polynomial evaluation is used as an application to demonstrate the merits of the RCE framework. Our experiments show that the results obtained executing polynomial evaluation using the RCE framework is significantly faster than executing it on a typical server. While the maximum clock rate of the FPGA board (200 MHz) is an order of magnitude slower than a server (3.4 GHz), we achieve approximately 200× speedup.
