This thesis explains the creation of S3DComfortZone; a visualization tool integrated into the development pipeline displaying the virtual comfort zones of stereoscopic 3D devices. This tool addresses the need for visualization ...

Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are biopolymers that are used as post-transcriptional gene regulators and as a natural endogenous defense against attack from viruses. These molecules hold a great deal of interest as ...

Extensively growing a set of methodologies to collect, provide, and analyze geoinformation in this decade. While due to the privacy concerns or elevated consideration, only less than half of videos and pictures bring ...

The study of animal aggregations has become a topic of great interest due to its practical applications and theoretical significance. The common occurrence of these aggregations in nature lead to a large variety of models ...

Haemonchus contortus is a blood-feeding parasitic nematode that infects ruminant animals around the world, including those with significant economic importance such as cattle, sheep, and goats. UNC-49 is a GABA-gated ...

Entertainment and emotions play a large part in the area of education and learning, however there is a lack of understanding in both the implementation of game-based learning and how this information changes over time. ...

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 ...

Query optimization is a quintessential element of modern Database Management Systems(DBMSs). Compile-time driven estimates and heuristics aid the compiler in selecting what is deemed the lowest cost Access Plan for a given ...

The exponential increase in bandwidth-sensitive multimedia traffic on the net has given rise to new challenges and services. There is a need to have quality management measures to serve the high needs of efficient transmission ...

A new nonlinear model is proposed for tuneable lasers. Using the generalized nonlinear Schrodinger equation as a starting point, expressions for the transformations undergone by the pulse are derived for each of the five ...
