Moving towards enhancing playtesting reports through data visualization
(2019-08-01)
Playtesting is a key component in the game development process aimed at improving the quality of games through gameplay data collection and identification of design issues. Visualization techniques are currently being ...
Structure guided image restoration : a deep learning approach
(2019-05-01)
Image restoration aims at recovery of degraded images and estimating the original. Over the past few years, computer vision research has been dominated by deep learning techniques in part due to advances in computing ...
Probing the influence of relative humidity and temperature on the sulfonated silica ceramic carbon electrode for PEM fuel cell operation
(2019-05-01)
Operation of fuel cells under low relative humidity (RH) and high temperature is a useful way to cut-down cost and increase performance. However, the Nafion ionomer employed in the electrode of the conventional fuel cells ...
Exploring design alternatives in game development engines using visual programming
(2019-04-01)
We present BPAlt – a system which allows game developers to create and manage alternatives for Unreal Engine’s Blueprints Visual Scripting System. BPAlt allows the user to create, save, organize and swap Blueprint alternatives ...
A few randomized protocols in peer-to-peer networks
(2019-08-01)
This thesis studies a few randomized algorithms in application-layer peer-to-peer networks. The significant gain in scalability and resilience that peer-to-peer networks provide has made them widely used and adopted in ...
Image super resolution via non-local normalized graph Laplacian regularization
(2019-05-01)
Given we live in a digital age where images are regularly being viewed, posted, or utilized, spectators of such images on occasion could prefer a higher resolution perspective. The process of producing a high-resolution ...
Temperature dependent structural, electronic and optical properties of the Si(100) surface from first principles
(2019-04-01)
The results presented here were obtained using the local density approximation (LDA) to density functional theory (DFT), within the pseudo-potentials scheme. We present the results of the numerical simulations for the Si ...
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 ...
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 ...
Autism Serious Game Framework (ASGF) for Developing Games for Children with Autism
(2019-12-01)
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by impaired social communication and interaction, and by restricted, repetitive interests and behaviours. The mean clinical age of diagnosis is still four to five years, ...
