Genetic analysis of cellulose crystallization in Gluconacetobacter xylinus
(2015-08-01)
In nature, polysaccharides, such as cellulose, are important biopolymers involved in numerous biological functions including prevention of cellular desiccation, energy storage, osmoregulation, and cell wall formation. Apart ...
Detecting vulnerabilities of broadcast receivers in Android applications
(2016-01-01)
As being a representative mobile operating system in the world, Android OS has been part of users' daily life. Unfortunately, the rapid expansion of Android third-markets introduces malware aiming at Android applications ...
Electrophysiological responses of Chrysomya rufifacies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) to active volatile organic compounds released by human and pig decomposition
(2015-11-01)
Forensic entomology is an important discipline which utilizes the developmental and behavioural patterns of insects which colonize decomposing tissue in a medicolegal context, most commonly to determine the post-mortem ...
Impact of environmental conditions on expression levels of resistance-nodulation-division (RND) efflux pumps and outer membrane porins in Acinetobacter baumannii
(2012-09-01)
Acinetobacter baumannii is a globally emerging Gram-negative pathogen accounting for a variety of nosocomial conditions, including pneumonia, meningitis, peritonitis, urinary tract infections and, in particular, wound ...
Modified Nafion membranes for hydrogen production in Cu-Cl thermochemical cycle
(2015-07-01)
The decomposition of water by a thermochemical cycle is a promising green method of producing hydrogen on a large scale. A thermochemical cycle is a combination of thermal and chemical reactions that ultimately leads to ...
Effects of prebiotic fibre diets on rat mucosal intestinal and systemic immunity and in vitro mechanistic analysis of anti-inflammatory effects of lactobacillus strains on rat and human intestinal epithelial cells
(2012-08-01)
Probiotics and prebiotics are emerging household terms, whose claimed health benefits share commonality. Their attributed health benefits include the production or induction of short chain fatty acids, maintaining bowel ...
First steps toward the construction of a channel cell for electrochemical studies under hydrothermal conditions
(2015-08-01)
The high-T,p channel flow cell (HT-CFC) for electrochemical studies under hydrothermal conditions would allow to investigate at a fundamental level the interaction between new materials and media conditions such those found ...
Spatial peripheral interaction techniques for viewing and manipulating off-screen digital content
(2015-08-01)
When an information space is larger than the display, it is typical for interfaces to only support interacting with content that is rendered within its viewport. To support interacting with off-screen content, our work ...
Vehicular infotainment forensics: collecting data and putting it into perspective
(2017-01-01)
In today’s transportation system, countless numbers of vehicles are on the road and later generations have become mobile computers. Vehicles now have embedded infotainment systems that enable user-friendliness and ...
Determining optimal flight paths for cellular network connectivity for the transmission of real-time physiological data in support of big data analytics during airborne critical care transport
(2017-02-01)
This thesis presents a methodology for determining the optimal flight paths between two geographical points based on distance and cellular reception over the path. This methodology consists of two main concepts: coverage ...
