Component-based modeling for Android application testing
(2017-04-01)The rising popularity of Android and the component-based structure of its apps have motivated the need for automated model-based testing techniques on Android plat- form. Prior researches have primarily focused on the ... -
Computational and laboratory investigations of a model of blood droplet flight for forensic applications
(2012-09-01)We present a three-dimensional, forward model of blood droplets in ight. The proposed model is based on a set of ordinary di erential equations (ODEs) incorporating viscous drag and gravitational forces. We validate the ... -
Computational and laboratory investigations of a model of blood droplet flight for forensic applications
(2014-01-01)Game developers strive to maximize immersion and engagement, to emotionally involve the audience in their material. One technique used to increase engagement is the development of new technologies, such as Stereoscopic ... -
Computational methods for medical image registration
(2021-04-01)A significant amount of research has been dedicated to the improvement of techniques in the field of medical image analysis. Imaging modalities have been improved and new acquisition methods have been introduced to reveal ... -
Computational studies of semiflexible polymer translocation in nanopore systems
(2019-08-01)The translocation of double stranded DNA (dsDNA) through nanopore systems is a field with rich physics and many promising technological applications. Double stranded DNA is not fully flexible, and the translocation dynamics ... -
Conductive Si doped metal oxide fuel cell catalyst supports: understanding the role of Si content
(2021-08-01)Current proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) catalysts commonly use platinum supported on carbon (Pt/C) which is susceptible to corrosion, thus a highly conductive and stable Ti3O5 doped by Si (TOS) conductive metal ... -
The conjugation and evaluation of hydrophobic small molecules to trazole-linked siRNAs
(2014-08-01)According to the Human Development Index, it is estimated that all cancer cases will rise from 12.7 million cases in 2008 to 22.2 million by 2030. Traditional therapies, including surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, ... -
Convection in a differentially heated rotating spherical shell of Boussinesq fluid with radiative forcing
(2012-12-01)In this study we investigate the flow of a Boussinesq fluid contained in a rotating, differentially heated spherical shell. Previous work, on the spherical shell of Boussinesq fluid, differentially heated the shell by ... -
CORE: a framework for the automatic repair of concurrency bugs
(2015-01-01)Desktop computers now contain 2, 4 or even 8 processors. To benefit from them programs must be written to work in parallel. If writing good code is hard, writing good parallel code is much harder. Parallelization adds ... -
Critical InfoVis: Exploring the Politics of Visualization
(ACM, 2013-04-27)As information visualization is increasingly used to raise awareness about social issues, difficult questions arise about the power of visualization. So far the research community has not given sufficient thought to how ... -
Data curation with ontology functional dependences
(2017-04-01)Poor data quality has become a pervasive issue due to the increasing complexity and size of modern datasets. Functional dependencies have been used in existing cleaning solutions to model syntactic equivalence. They are ... -
Deep learning approach to discontinuity-preserving image registration
(2020-05-01)Image registration is an indispensable tool in medical image analysis. Traditionally, registration algorithms are aimed at aligning image pairs using regularizers to impose smoothness restrictions on unknown deformation ... -
A deep learning approach to focal cortical dysplasia segmentation in children with medically intractable epilepsy
(2021-08-01)Paediatric epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders and has major impact on the cognition and quality of life of children. Focal Cortical Dysplasia (FCD) is one of the most common causes of medically ... -
Depletant induced attractions in red blood cells
(2018-10-01)Red blood cells suspended in plasma are able to aggregate into linearly stacked rouleau. The aggregations can form complex clusters and branching networks which cause complications in various pathological cases. The self ... -
Depletion induced bundling of rod-like colloids and simulations of triple helix bundles
(2023-06-01)We ran molecular dynamics simulations of rod-like colloids acting under depletion forces. In these simulations, we found bundling of the rods above a given strength of the depletion force. We then analyzed the bundle ... -
Design and evaluation of a novel convolutional neural network for short-term vehicle multi-traffic prediction
(2019-08-01)Short-term vehicle traffic forecasting is about predicting how traffic indicators are going to be in the near future. The main traffic parameters are: traffic volume, traffic speed, and congestion state. In this thesis, ... -
Design and implementation of the crypto-assistant: an eclipse plugin for usable password-based column level encryption based on hiberate and jasypt
(2013-03-01)The lack of encryption of data at rest or in motion is one of the top 10 database vulnerabilities according to team SHATTER [72]. In the quest to improve the security landscape, we identify an opportunity area: two tools ... -
