Cluster techniques and prediction models for a digital media learning environment
(2012-08-01)
The present work applies well-known data mining techniques in a digital learning
media environment in order to identify groups of students based on their pro le. We
generate identi able clusters where some interesting ...
Ray tracing large distributed datasets using ray caches
(2012-03-09)
Many large scale simulations now produce datasets that are signi cantly
larger than can typically be stored in memory on a visualization system. Visualization
algorithms then become ine ective and stall since the data must ...
Developing effective virtual simulations and serious games: the effect of background sound cues on visual quality perception
(2012-08-01)
Virtual simulations and serious games (video game-based technologies applied to
teaching and learning) have been incorporated in the teaching and training curricula of a
large number of professions including medicine/surgery. ...
Expression of Arabidopsis thaliana cellulose synthase proteins and associated proteins in a Spodoptera frugiperda cell line
(2012-10-01)
Understanding how cellulose synthesis occurs is key to understanding the
formation of the plant cell wall. This understanding could also be key to modifying
cellulose production to permit more efficient extraction of ...
A variational approach to mapping: an exploration of map representation for SLAM
(2012-07-01)
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms are used
by autonomous robots to build or update maps of an environment while
maintaining their position simultaneously. A fundamental open problem
in SLAM is the e ...
Total knee replacement serious game for surgical education and training
(2012-08-01)
Traditionally, orthopaedic surgical training has primarily taken place in the
operating room. Given the growing trend of decreasing resident work hours in
North America and globally due to political mandate, training time ...
Exploring entities in text with descriptive non-photorealistic rendering
(2012-12-01)
We present a novel approach to text visualization called descriptive non-photorealistic
rendering which exploits the inherent spatial and abstract dimensions in text documents
to integrate 3D non-photorealistic rendering ...
Effects of prebiotic fibre diets on rat mucosal intestinal and systemic immunity and in vitro mechanistic analysis of anti-inflammatory effects of lactobacillus strains on rat and human intestinal epithelial cells
(2012-08-01)
Probiotics and prebiotics are emerging household terms, whose claimed health benefits share commonality. Their attributed health benefits include the production or induction of short chain fatty acids, maintaining bowel ...
Self-healing solutions for LTE evolved packet core
(2012-10-01)
The 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) is considered as a dominant future cellular wireless
technology in terms of performance and user experience. With technological advancement of the
wireless networks, dependencies and ...
Mobility modeling and topology prediction in cognitive mobile networks
(2012-07-01)
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze a non-intrusive connectivity visualization method for
OLSR-based MANET topology in different mobility models. The visualization relies on the local
topology databases (neighborhood ...
