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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
