Isolation and partial characterization of three members of the GGR-1 family in the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus
(2019-08-01)
Haemonchus contortus is a blood sucking parasitic nematode that infects ruminant animals. These parasites are of significant economic importance as they are estimated to cost the agricultural industry billions of dollars ...
Design and evaluation of a novel convolutional neural network for short-term vehicle multi-traffic prediction
(2019-08-01)
Short-term vehicle traffic forecasting is about predicting how traffic indicators are going to be in the near future. The main traffic parameters are: traffic volume, traffic speed, and congestion state. In this thesis, ...
Joint spatial and layer attention for convolutional networks
(2019-05-01)
In this work, we propose a novel approach that learns to sequentially attend to different
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) layers (i.e., “what” feature abstraction to attend to) and different spatial locations of the ...
Probing the influence of relative humidity and temperature on the sulfonated silica ceramic carbon electrode for PEM fuel cell operation
(2019-05-01)
Operation of fuel cells under low relative humidity (RH) and high temperature is a useful way to cut-down cost and increase performance. However, the Nafion ionomer employed in the electrode of the conventional fuel cells ...
Exploring design alternatives in game development engines using visual programming
(2019-04-01)
We present BPAlt – a system which allows game developers to create and manage alternatives for Unreal Engine’s Blueprints Visual Scripting System. BPAlt allows the user to create, save, organize and swap Blueprint alternatives ...
UniNet: A mixed reality driving simulator
(2019-08-01)
Driving simulators play an important role in vehicle research. However, existing virtual reality simulators do not give users a true sense of presence. UniNet is our driving simulator, designed to allow users to interact ...
A few randomized protocols in peer-to-peer networks
(2019-08-01)
This thesis studies a few randomized algorithms in application-layer peer-to-peer networks. The significant gain in scalability and resilience that peer-to-peer networks provide has made them widely used and adopted in ...
An anomaly detection model utilizing attributes of low powered networks, IEEE 802.15.4e/TSCH and machine learning methods
(2019-12-01)
The rapid growth in sensors, low-power integrated circuits, and wireless communication standards has enabled a new generation of applications based on ultra-low powered wireless sensor networks. These are employed in many ...
Forward screening for herbicide resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana and the monocot species Triticum aestivum
(2019-06-01)
Cellulose is the primary structural component of plant cell walls and is composed of β-1,4-glucan chains. The cellulose synthesis complex is composed of multiple cellulose synthases (CESAs), which work together to extend ...
Visual encoding quality and scalability in information visualization
(2019-02-01)
Information visualization seeks to amplify cognition through interactive visual representations of data. It comprises human processes, such as perception and cognition, and computer processes, such as visual encoding. ...
