Pourbaix diagrams at elevated temperatures: a study of Zn and Sn
(2012-08-01)
Metals in industrial settings such as power plants are often subjected to high
temperature and pressure aqueous environments, where failure to control corrosion
compromises worker and environment safety. For instance, ...
Predicting mutation score using source code and test suite metrics
(2012-09-01)
Mutation testing has traditionally been used to evaluate the effectiveness of test suites
and provide con dence in the testing process. Mutation testing involves the creation of
many versions of a program each with a single ...
Expression of Arabidopsis thaliana cellulose synthase proteins and associated proteins in a Spodoptera frugiperda cell line
(2012-10-01)
Understanding how cellulose synthesis occurs is key to understanding the
formation of the plant cell wall. This understanding could also be key to modifying
cellulose production to permit more efficient extraction of ...
Vector occluders: an empirical approximation for rendering global illumination effects in real-time
(2013-02-01)
Precomputation has been previously used as a means to get global illumination effects
in real-time on consumer hardware of the day. Our work uses Sloan’s 2002 PRT method
as a starting point, and builds on it with two new ...
Exploring entities in text with descriptive non-photorealistic rendering
(2012-12-01)
We present a novel approach to text visualization called descriptive non-photorealistic
rendering which exploits the inherent spatial and abstract dimensions in text documents
to integrate 3D non-photorealistic rendering ...
Self-healing solutions for LTE evolved packet core
(2012-10-01)
The 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) is considered as a dominant future cellular wireless
technology in terms of performance and user experience. With technological advancement of the
wireless networks, dependencies and ...
Mobility modeling and topology prediction in cognitive mobile networks
(2012-07-01)
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze a non-intrusive connectivity visualization method for
OLSR-based MANET topology in different mobility models. The visualization relies on the local
topology databases (neighborhood ...
Computational and laboratory investigations of a model of blood droplet flight for forensic applications
(2012-09-01)
We present a three-dimensional, forward model of blood droplets in
ight. The proposed
model is based on a set of ordinary di erential equations (ODEs) incorporating viscous
drag and gravitational forces. We validate the ...
Using Rabin-Karp fingerprints and LevelDB for faster searches
(2012-12-01)
This thesis represents the results of a study into using fingerprints generated according to the Rabin-Karp Algorithm, and a database LevelDB to achieve Text Search times below GREP, which is a standard command-line UNIX ...
Arthropod successionin Whitehorse, Yukon Territory and compared development of protophormia terraenovae (R. -D.) from Beringia and the Great Lakes Region
(2012-07-01)
Forensic medicocriminal entomology is used in the estimation of post-mortem intervals in death investigations, by means of arthropod succession patterns and the development rates of individual insect species. The purpose ...
