StoryTIME: development of a tangible interface for storytelling
(2018-08-01)
The production of 3D digital animated sequences is an iterative process where ideas are scrutinized by members of the production team until they are finalized. Production teams are comprised of many individuals with varying ...
Modelling the movement of superparamagnetic beads engulfed in endothelial cells
(2018-04-01)
Colonization of porous scaffolds with cells is of increasing importance for various
tissue engineering applications. Controlled placement of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) within a micro-porous, poly-caprolactone ...
Predicting mobile application power consumption
(2018-05-01)
We present an analysis of battery consumption to predict the average consumption rate of any given application. We explain the process and techniques used to gather the data, and present over 25000 readings collected over ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
