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 ...
Characterization and transcriptomic profiling of Arabidopsis thaliana under cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor treatment
(2018-08-01)
Cellulose is one of the most important components of plant cell walls for industry and plant development. Screening mutants resistant to chemicals that conditionally inhibit cellulose synthesis, known as cellulose biosynthesis ...
Metabifurcation analysis of a phenomenological ventricular cell model
(2018-08-01)
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in America, and arrhythmia is considered one of the most important precursors of heart attacks. We cannot predict arrhythmia directly; however, it has been shown that cardiac ...
Galo: guided automated learning for query workload re-optimization
(2018-12-01)
Traditional query optimization techniques often fail when logical subtleties in business queries and schemas circumvent them. Query performance problem determination is typically performed manually in consultation with ...
Towards trusted and efficient temporal relational databases
(2018-12-01)
This research is to develop a blockchain based database based on a relational database management system (RDBMS). The database guarantees authenticity of the stored records using immutable and verifiable signatures. The ...
Study of a 2 dimensional aggregation model with non-linear adaptations
(2018-08-01)
In this paper we will explore the impacts on collective animal motion of adding non-linearity to the animals’ turning rate in a 2-dimensional model of aggregation. The model in question was proposed by Fetecau and implements ...
Managing developer interruption
(2018-12-01)
The high frequency of interruptions during cognitively-intense activities can be annoying and detrimental to deadline-driven work, such as software development. When developers are interrupted they not only lose productivity ...
Virtual drilling haptics perception from auditory cues employing low-end haptic devices
(2018-12-01)
Simulation-based training is being widely adopted in medical education because it allows exposing trainees to safe and controlled simulated scenarios otherwise impossible to reproduce in real life. Current advances in ...
A secure and privacy-preserving incentive framework for vehicular cloud
(2018-04-01)
Vehicular Cloud Computing (VCC) plays a critical role in data generation where a large number of vehicles collect various kinds of sensing resources with large-volume features. While the information that should be collected ...
A study of password recall, perceived memorability, and strength using BCIs
(2018-04-01)
Passwords are considered the most common method of authentication and studies are frequently conducted to understand users' password habits. In this thesis, we run two empirical studies that provide information to further ...
