Stereoscopic depth axis interaction: A study of performance and engagement in stereoscopic 3D games.
(2014-01-01)
Game developers strive to maximize immersion and engagement,
to emotionally involve the audience in their material. One technique
used to increase engagement is the development of new technologies,
such as Stereoscopic ...
Aerodynamic and thermal analysis of a heat source at the underside of a passenger vehicle
(2014-12-01)
The first part of this thesis involves full experimental and numerical studies to understand the effects of cross-winds on the automotive underbody aero-thermal phenomena using a 2005 Chevrolet Aveo5 with a heat source ...
Using detection in depth to counter SCADA-specific advanced persistent threats
(2014-04-01)
A heavy focus has recently been placed on the current state of each country’s critical
infrastructure security. Unfortunately, widely deployed supervisory control and data
acquisition (SCADA) protocols provide little ...
The synthesis and in vitro evaluation of short interfering RNAs that contain internal modified alkyl spacers
(2014-08-01)
The ability to silence genes effectively at the pre-translational level through the use of short interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) has become a widely studied area since the discovery of the RNA interference pathway in ...
Elucidation of the lipid degradation process in soft tissue and fluid during decomposition, in the presence and absence of insects.
(2014-08-01)
Decomposition has been extensively studied in the presence of insects, however
the process in the absence of insects has been considerably less documented. In this
study, the decomposition process was compared between ...
Forward genetic analysis of cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor resistance and wall hydrolysis sensitivity.
(2014-09-01)
The functional analysis of components involved in cellulose biosynthesis is central in
understanding cell wall assembly and structure in plants. We conducted screens using the
herbicides, isoxaben and flupoxam which inhibit ...
Investigation into the role of binding loop E on the function of the nematode cys-loop GABA receptor.
(2014-12-01)
Haemonchus contortus is a parasitic nematode that infects the abomasum of
ruminants. While several classes of anthelmintic drugs exist to control nematode infections,
H. contortus is resistant to all of them. Therefore, ...
The conjugation and evaluation of hydrophobic small molecules to trazole-linked siRNAs
(2014-08-01)
According to the Human Development Index, it is estimated that all cancer cases will rise from 12.7 million cases in 2008 to 22.2 million by 2030. Traditional therapies, including surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, ...
Computational and laboratory investigations of a model of blood droplet flight for forensic applications
(2014-01-01)
Game developers strive to maximize immersion and engagement,
to emotionally involve the audience in their material. One technique
used to increase engagement is the development of new technologies,
such as Stereoscopic ...
Non-precious metal catalysts prepared by chemical functionalization of carbon surfaces.
(2014-08-01)
New sources of power are of great interest as attempts to make smaller, more convenient and environmentally friendly sources are being investigated. Hydrogen fuel cells are a way to combine both an effective method of power ...
