Characterization of two component systems of Acinetobacter baumannii.
(2014-10-01)
Acinetobacter baumannii is an important opportunistic pathogen of hospital acquired infection, particularly in intensive care units. The emergence and rapid spread of multidrug-resistant A. baumannii strains has become a ...
E-fencing detection: mining online classified ad websites for stolen property.
(2014-09-01)
With the emergence of e-fencing, there presents a need to automate both the
detection of ads selling stolen property and the reporting process for victims. This thesis
presents a framework that dynamically retrieves and ...
The role of Cladophora glomerata as a habitat for bacterial communities and a reservoir of antibiotic resistance.
(2014-09-01)
This thesis studied the filamentous alga Cladophora glomerata’s role in providing a refuge for antibiotic resistance and analyzed the community composition of the bacterial colonizers of C. glomerata mats by taking samples ...
A negotiation protocol with conditional offers for camera handoffs.
(2014-10-01)
This thesis explores the idea of conditional offers during camera handoff negotiations. In a
departure from contract-net inspired negotiation models that have been proposed for camera
handoffs, the current scheme assumes ...
A framework for video-driven crowd synthesis.
(2014-09-01)
We present a framework for video-driven crowd synthesis. The proposed framework
employs motion analysis techniques to extract inter-frame motion vectors from the exemplar
crowd videos. Motion vectors collected over the ...
Progressive Learning of Topic Modeling Parameters: A Visual Analytics Framework
(IEEE, 2017-08-29)
Topic modeling algorithms are widely used to analyze the thematic composition of text corpora but remain difficult to interpret and adjust. Addressing these limitations, we present a modular visual analytics framework, ...
Design by Immersion: A Transdisciplinary Approach to Problem-Driven Visualizations
(IEEE, 2019-08-26)
While previous work exists on how to conduct and disseminate insights from problem-driven visualization projects and design studies, the literature does not address how to accomplish these goals in transdisciplinary teams ...
Rational design of a material for rapid colorimetric Fe2+ detection
(Elsevier, 2016-10-05)
We report on the rational design of a novel TiO2 based screen-printed material suitable for sensitive and selective detection of iron ions in water. This includes the synthesis and characterization of large mesoporous TiO2 ...
TandemTable: Supporting Conversations and Language Learning Using a Multi-Touch Digital Table
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2015-06-03)
We present TandemTable, a multi-touch tabletop system designed to break down communication barriers between partners, with a special focus on supporting those who are learning languages. The design was guided by a grounding ...
Using Visual Analytics of Heart Rate Variation to Aid in Diagnostics
(CEUR Workshop Proceedings, 2016-06-07)
We present an interactive visualization tool for exploring RR interval data (the time between consecutive heart beats) to support diagnostics. An RR interval sequence diagram allows us to reduce hours of data into a general ...
