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 ...
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 ...
Achieving real-time video summarization on commodity hardware
(2018-04-01)
We present a system for automatic video summarization which is able to operate in
real-time on commodity hardware. This is achieved by performing segmentation
to divide a video into a series of small video clips, which are ...
Do extroverts create stronger passwords?
(2018-04-01)
We investigate the relationship between personality types and the strength of created and
selected passwords. For this purpose, we conducted an experiment on Amazon’s Mechanical
Turk, with 510 participants. Participants ...
Recommendations in visual analytics using emotions : a mixed-initiative interaction approach
(2018-07-01)
The thesis demonstrates an idea for helping users in visual analytic tasks by investigating some critical steps required for providing recommendations. The proposed model uses mixed-initiative interaction approach by ...
Modelling and simulating twitching bacteria and phytoglycogen nanoparticles
(2018-08-01)
This thesis covers work conducted on two projects. Each of these projects involve application in the field of biology, and both have been completed through the use of computer simulation techniques. The first project is ...
Effect of iron content on electrodeposited Fe-MnOx catalysts for water oxidation
(2018-04-01)
MnOx materials are earth-abundant and known to be efficient catalysts for the water
oxidation reaction (WOR). I present the exploration of an optimal method of cathodically
electrodepositing MnOx catalysts on an FTO ...
Characterizing the potential energy surface of two dimensional and bulk materials using high dimensional neural network potentials
(2018-08-01)
Computing material properties at the ab-initio level of detail is computationally prohibitive for large systems or long timescales. As a result, such methods cannot be used to efficiently sample configuration space. Force ...
Depletant induced attractions in red blood cells
(2018-10-01)
Red blood cells suspended in plasma are able to aggregate into linearly stacked rouleau. The aggregations can form complex clusters and branching networks which cause complications in various pathological cases. The self ...
