Isolation and partial characterization of three acetylcholine-gated chloride channels in Haemonchus contortus
(2017-01-01)Haemonchus contortus is a parasitic nematode infecting ruminants causing anemia and poor health due to the parasite’s blood-feeding nature. The ability to manage infection has been confounded by the rapid development of ... -
Isolation and partial characterization of three members of the GGR-1 family in the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus
(2019-08-01)Haemonchus contortus is a blood sucking parasitic nematode that infects ruminant animals. These parasites are of significant economic importance as they are estimated to cost the agricultural industry billions of dollars ... -
Java lock contention antipatterns and their detection within Java code
(2023-04-01)Java Based Multithreaded programs are used in a wide variety of applications and consequently many developers are required to create code designed for synchronized environments. However, finding problems in synchronized ... -
Joint channel pairing and power allocation optimization in two-way multichannel relaying.
(2014-08-01)We consider two-way amplify-and-forward relaying in a multichannel system with two end nodes and a single relay, using a two-slot multi-access broadcast (MABC) as well as time-division broadcast (TDBC) relaying strategies. ... -
Joint optimization of transmit beamforming and base station cache allocation in multi-cell C-RAN
(2021-11-01)Cloud radio access network (C-RAN) with wireless backhaul has been considered as a possible solution for small cell deployment. Limited capacity of wireless backhaul encourages people to equip the base stations (BSs) with ... -
Joint position estimation, packet routing and sleep scheduling in wireless sensor networks
(2017-08-01)Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is an important research field in Computer Science with applications that span multiple domains. Due to the limitation of sensor nodes, network lifetime is a critical issue that needs to be ... -
Joint relay beamforming and transceiver processing in multiuser relay network
(2016-08-01)In this thesis, we focus on joint relay beamforming and transceiver processing in multiuser relay network. First of all, we consider the scenario in which multiple source-to-destination (S-D) pairs intend to communicate ... -
Joint spatial and layer attention for convolutional networks
(2019-05-01)In this work, we propose a novel approach that learns to sequentially attend to different Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) layers (i.e., “what” feature abstraction to attend to) and different spatial locations of the ... -
Joint uplink-downlink beamforming in multi-antenna relaying schemes
(2009-11-01)The thesis examines the problem of joint receive and transmit beamforming for a wireless network which consists of one relay node equipped with multiple antennas. The transmitter and the receiver are single antenna ... -
Jointly optimal pre- and post-channel equalization and distributed beamforming in asynchronous bi-directional relay networks
(2015-09-01)We consider an asynchronous two-way relay network, consisting of two transceivers and multiple relays, where due to the propagation delays of different transceiver-relay paths being different, inter-symbol- interference ... -
JoVA-hinge: joint variational autoencoders for personalized recommendation with implicit feedback
(2020-12-01)Recently, Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) have shown remarkable performance in collaborative filtering (CF) with implicit feedback. These existing recommendation models learn user representations to reconstruct or predict ... -
Key performance indicators modeling for optimized microgrid configuration
(2015-11-01)Distribution system is so vulnerable to failures. These failures can be the result of natural or manmade threats. Blackouts are one of the distribution systems failures. Many people can be affected by blackouts. Therefore, ... -
Kill switch design pattern for microservice architectures on internet of things devices
(2020-12-01)Containers and virtual machines are being adopted to develop embedded Linux Internet-of-Things applications. Consumer Internet-of-Things devices have been notoriously insecure due to loss of continued software support. To ... -
Kinetics and transport phenomena in the chemical decomposition of copper oxychloride in the thermochemical Cu-CI Cycle
(2012-04-01)The thermochemical copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) cycle for hydrogen production includes three chemical reactions of hydrolysis, decomposition and electrolysis. The decomposition of copper oxychloride establishes the high-temperature ... -
Lateral stability analysis and MPC tracking control for articulated heavy vehicles
(2022-10-01)Articulated heavy vehicles (AHVs) exhibit poor maneuverability during curved-path negotiations and low lateral stability under high-speed evasive maneuvers, which may lead to unstable motion modes, e.g., trailer-sway and ... -
Laterality effects in sub-clinical neck pain examined in goal-directed upper limb aiming movements
(2020-09-01)Subclinical neck pain (SCNP) is defined as recurrent pain and stiffness in the neck for which individuals have not yet sought treatment. Prior studies have shown that individuals with SCNP have altered cerebellar processing. ... -
Leadership based multi-objective optimization with applications in energy systems.
(2013-12-01)Multi-objective optimization metaheuristics (MOMs) are powerful methods for solving complex optimization problems but can require a large number of function evaluations to find optimal solutions. Thus, an efficient ... -
Leakage-corrected discontinuity factors for a second-generation Th-Pu pressure-tube SCWR.
