    Advancing In-vehicle Gesture Interactions with Adaptive Hand-Recognition and Auditory Displays
    Tabbarah, M.; Cao, Y.; Liu, Y.; Jeon, Myounghoon (ACM, 2021-09-09)
    Competition for visual attention in vehicles has increased with the integration of touch-based interfaces, which has led to an increased crash risk. To mitigate this visual distraction, we designed an in-vehicle gesture-based menu system with different auditory feedback types and hand-recognition systems. We are conducting an experiment using a driving simulator where the participant performs a secondary task of selecting a menu item. Three auditory feedback types are tested in addition to the baseline condition (no audio): auditory icons, earcons, and spearcons. For each type of auditory display, two hand-recognition systems are tested: fixed and adaptive. We expect we can reduce the driver's secondary task workload, while minimizing off-road glances for safety. Our experiment would contribute to the existing literature in multimodal signal processing, confirming the Multiple Resource Theory. It would also present practical design guidelines for auditory-feedback for gesture-based in-vehicle interactions.

    A significant challenge in measurements of neutrino oscillations is reconstructing the incoming neutrino energies. While modern fully-active tracking calorimeters such as liquid argon time projection chambers in principle allow the measurement of all final state particles above some detection threshold, undetected neutrons remain a considerable source of missing energy with little to no data constraining their production rates and kinematics. We present the first demonstration of tagging neutrino-induced neutrons in liquid argon time projection chambers using secondary protons emitted from neutron-argon interactions in the MicroBooNE detector. We describe the method developed to identify neutrino-induced neutrons and demonstrate its performance using neutrons produced in muon-neutrino charged current interactions. The method is validated using a small subset of MicroBooNE’s total dataset. The selection yields a sample with 60 % of selected tracks corresponding to neutron-induced secondary protons. At this purity, the integrated efficiency is 8.4% for neutrons that produce a detectable proton.

    Predicting Solute Transport Through Green Stormwater Infrastructure With Unsteady Transit Time Distribution Theory
    Parker, E. A.; Grant, Stanley B.; Cao, Y.; Rippy, Megan A.; McGuire, Kevin J.; Holden, P. A.; Feraud, M.; Avasarala, S.; Liu, H.; Hung, W. C.; Rugh, M.; Jay, J.; Peng, J.; Shao, S.; Li, D. (2021-02)
    In this study, we explore the use of unsteady transit time distribution (TTD) theory to model solute transport in biofilters, a popular form of nature-based or "green" storm water infrastructure (GSI). TTD theory has the potential to address many unresolved challenges associated with predicting pollutant fate and transport through these systems, including unsteadiness in the water balance (time-varying inflows, outflows, and storage), unsteadiness in pollutant loading, time-dependent reactions, and scale-up to GSI networks and urban catchments. From a solution to the unsteady age conservation equation under uniform sampling, we derive an explicit expression for solute breakthrough during and after one or more storm events. The solution is calibrated and validated with breakthrough data from 17 simulated storms at a field-scale biofilter test facility in Southern California, using bromide as a conservative tracer. TTD theory closely reproduces bromide breakthrough concentrations, provided that lateral exchange with the surrounding soil is accounted for. At any given time, according to theory, more than half of the water in storage is from the most recent storm, while the rest is a mixture of penultimate and earlier storms. Thus, key management endpoints, such as the pollutant treatment credit attributable to GSI, are likely to depend on the evolving age distribution of water stored and released by these systems.
