Topic models for image localization
(2013-08-01)
We present a new scheme for partitioning geo-tagged reference image database in an effort
to speed up query image localization while maintaining acceptable localization accuracy. Our
method learns a topic model over the ...
Investigation into smoothed particle hydrodynamics for non-newtonian droplet modelling
(2011-08-01)
Droplet splatter dynamics is an important study in the field of forensics since a crime
event can produce many blood stains. Understanding the origins of the blood stains
from pure observations is very difficult because ...
A parallel adaptive method for pseudo-arclength continuation
(2011-08-01)
We parallelize the pseudo-arclength continuation method for solving nonlinear systems
of equations. Pseudo-arclength continuation is a predictor-corrector method where the
correction step consists of solving a linear system ...
Effect of iron content on electrodeposited Fe-MnOx catalysts for water oxidation
(2018-04-01)
MnOx materials are earth-abundant and known to be efficient catalysts for the water
oxidation reaction (WOR). I present the exploration of an optimal method of cathodically
electrodepositing MnOx catalysts on an FTO ...
Cluster-based target tracking in vehicular ad hoc networks
(2015-01-01)
Recently Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) have drawn the attention of academic and industry researchers due to their potential applications in enabling Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), including safe driving, ...
A novel method of generating Dendritic cells in vitro using the KG-1 cell line and its use as a model for testing effects of lactic acid bacteria
(2011-08-01)
Dendritic cells (DCs) are prime mediators of innate and adaptive immunity. In humans the DC population comprise only 0.1% of all leukocytes, making their isolation and ex vivo manipulation difficult. Since study of DC ...
Characterization of a novel cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor, CBI28, in Gluconacetobacter xylinus
(2010-05-01)
To study the underlying mechanisms for microbial cellulose biosythesis, a novel compound, CBI28, was used as an inhibitor along with classical genetics and EMS mutagenesis. An EZ-Link Biotin Hydrazide Kit was used to create ...
A survey of algebraic algorithms in computerized tomography
(2010-08-01)
X-ray computed tomography (CT) is a medical imaging framework. It takes measured
projections of X-rays through two-dimensional cross-sections of an object from
multiple angles and incorporates algorithms in building a ...
Robust curved road boundary identification using hierarchical clustering.
(2013-11-01)
We develop a new method for automatic curved road boundary detection in images captured by
traffic cameras. The proposed method combines data driven (edge segments) and model based
(2nd degree polynomial models for road ...
Scalable immersive audio for virtual environments
(2018-05-01)
This thesis discusses the history of game sound and how it developed to become increasingly more immersive and realistic by accounting for the spatial aspects of sound. It then compares several 3D sound technologies before ...
