An investigation of semantic patterns in passwords
(2013-08-01)
The advent of large password leaks in recent years has exposed the
security problems of passwords and enabled deeper empirical investigation
of password patterns. Researchers have only touched the surface
of patterns in ...
Energy-economic model for transition to renewables
(2013-05-01)
Presented in this thesis is a macro-economic model based on a three-factor production
function, utilizing energy, capital, and labour as the three production factors. With a
primary focus on energy production we include ...
The effects of Hydroxypropyl-β-Cyclodextrin on the American Flagfish (Jordanella floridae) over one complete life-cycle
(2013-08-01)
Understanding the impacts of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) on aquatic ecosystems is an important issue in aquatic toxicology. Many PPCPs have been shown to cause effects on aquatic biota within detected ...
Vector occluders: an empirical approximation for rendering global illumination effects in real-time
(2013-02-01)
Precomputation has been previously used as a means to get global illumination effects
in real-time on consumer hardware of the day. Our work uses Sloan’s 2002 PRT method
as a starting point, and builds on it with two new ...
Design and implementation of the crypto-assistant: an eclipse plugin for usable password-based column level encryption based on hiberate and jasypt
(2013-03-01)
The lack of encryption of data at rest or in motion is one of the top 10 database vulnerabilities according to team SHATTER [72]. In the quest to improve the security landscape, we identify an opportunity area: two tools ...
Reliable peer-to peer multicast streaming
(2013-01-01)
P2P is increasingly gaining its popularity for streaming multimedia contents. The architecture of streaming has shifted from traditional client server architecture to P2P architecture. Although it is scalable and robust ...
Determining the impact of carrion decomposition on soil microbial activity levels and community composition.
(2013-12-01)
The ubiquitous nature of microorganisms and their specificity to certain locations make them potentially useful for forensic investigators. Advances in microbial profiling techniques have made it possible to compare microbial ...
Critical InfoVis: Exploring the Politics of Visualization
(ACM, 2013-04-27)
As information visualization is increasingly used to raise awareness about social issues, difficult questions arise about the power of visualization. So far the research community has not given sufficient thought to how ...
Exploring Entities in Text with Descriptive Non-photorealistic Rendering
(IEEE, 2013-03)
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 ...
The production and characterization of ceramic carbon electrode materials for CuCl-HCl electrolysis.
(2013-07-01)
Current H2 gas supplies are primarily produced through steam methane reforming and other fossil fuel based processes. This lack of viable large scale and environmentally friendly H2 gas production has hindered the wide ...
