Structure guided image restoration : a deep learning approach
(2019-05-01)
Image restoration aims at recovery of degraded images and estimating the original. Over the past few years, computer vision research has been dominated by deep learning techniques in part due to advances in computing ...
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 ...
Virtual drilling haptics perception from auditory cues employing low-end haptic devices
(2018-12-01)
Simulation-based training is being widely adopted in medical education because it allows exposing trainees to safe and controlled simulated scenarios otherwise impossible to reproduce in real life. Current advances in ...
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 ...
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 ...
GURB : the game user research blueprint
(2016-08-01)
With the rise of new platforms, distribution and crowdfunding services, the game
industry is facing fast changes and advances in technology. Game development
studios are under more pressure to create successful games due ...
Scalable immersive audio for virtual environments
(2018-05-01)
This thesis discusses the history of game sound and how it developed to become increasingly more immersive and realistic by accounting for the spatial aspects of sound. It then compares several 3D sound technologies before ...
Characterization of OmpT: An outer membrane vesicle protease Escherichia coli that attenuates blood coagulation.
(2013-08-01)
Escherichia coli O157:H7 is an emerging food-borne and water-borne pathogen that belongs to
Enterohemorrhaghic pathogenic group of bacteria. E. coli O157:H7 colonizes the gastrointestinal
tract and is responsible for ...
Characterization and transcriptomic profiling of Arabidopsis thaliana under cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor treatment
(2018-08-01)
Cellulose is one of the most important components of plant cell walls for industry and plant development. Screening mutants resistant to chemicals that conditionally inhibit cellulose synthesis, known as cellulose biosynthesis ...
Image super resolution via non-local normalized graph Laplacian regularization
(2019-05-01)
Given we live in a digital age where images are regularly being viewed, posted, or utilized, spectators of such images on occasion could prefer a higher resolution perspective. The process of producing a high-resolution ...
