Design and performance evaluation of data dissemination and hovering information protocols for vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs)
(2017-07-01)
Robust and efficient communication protocols for Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs)
are still an open topic in the literature. Because of that, our attention has been gathered
by the Data Dissemination and the Information ...
Analysing atomic structure in nano-scale imagery
(2017-01-01)
This thesis presents methods for both detecting atoms and reconstructing single layer molecular
geometry depicted within high resolution nanoscale imagery. Nanoscale imaging is a common
method of analysing molecular ...
Joint position estimation, packet routing and sleep scheduling in wireless sensor networks
(2017-08-01)
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is an important research field in Computer Science
with applications that span multiple domains. Due to the limitation of sensor nodes,
network lifetime is a critical issue that needs to be ...
The transcription factor, fixK, plays a central role in carbon source metabolism and cellulose synthesis in Komagataeibacter species
(2017-07-01)
Komagataeibacter xylinus ATCC 53582 and K. hansenii ATCC 23769 are model bacterial cellulose producers. This thesis investigated both carbon source utilization and the role that a Crp/Fnr transcription factor, FixK, plays ...
Component-based modeling for Android application testing
(2017-04-01)
The rising popularity of Android and the component-based structure of its apps have
motivated the need for automated model-based testing techniques on Android plat-
form. Prior researches have primarily focused on the ...
An adaptive crowdsourced investigation of word abbreviation techniques for text visualizations
(2017-04-01)
A known problem in information visualization labeling is when the text is too long to fit
in the label space. There are some common known techniques used in order to solve this
problem like setting a very small font size. ...
Nanostructured materials for photovoltaics and microwave electronics: methods and applications
(2017-04-01)
Nanoscale particles and thin layers are today used for a variety of applications to make industrial products lighter, stronger or more conductive. This study investigates synthesis, characterization and application of ...
Synthesis and characterization of Pt/TiO2/C composite catalysts for fuel cells prepared using a glucose modifier
(2017-03-01)
Catalysts in the electrodes of polymer exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) serve a critical function in reactions which can be used to generate electrical energy from chemical fuels. Pt nanoparticles are commonly dispersed ...
Adaptive engagement of older adults’ fitness through gamification
(2017-07-01)
Older adults are often not physically active because they lack motivation, time, and/or physical ability. Not only does this impact the life of older adults, but it also affects society as a whole, because the cost of ...
The effect of experimental pain on neural function and motor learning
(2017-04-01)
This thesis investigated whether acute experimental pain interacts with motor learning acquisition to create adaptive and maladaptive changes in neural function. The first study consisted of two experiments where we ...
