Aerodynamic and thermal analysis of a heat source at the underside of a passenger vehicle
(2014-12-01)
The first part of this thesis involves full experimental and numerical studies to understand the effects of cross-winds on the automotive underbody aero-thermal phenomena using a 2005 Chevrolet Aveo5 with a heat source ...
Using detection in depth to counter SCADA-specific advanced persistent threats
(2014-04-01)
A heavy focus has recently been placed on the current state of each country’s critical
infrastructure security. Unfortunately, widely deployed supervisory control and data
acquisition (SCADA) protocols provide little ...
The synthesis and in vitro evaluation of short interfering RNAs that contain internal modified alkyl spacers
(2014-08-01)
The ability to silence genes effectively at the pre-translational level through the use of short interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) has become a widely studied area since the discovery of the RNA interference pathway in ...
Stereoscopic depth axis interaction: A study of performance and engagement in stereoscopic 3D games.
(2014-01-01)
Game developers strive to maximize immersion and engagement,
to emotionally involve the audience in their material. One technique
used to increase engagement is the development of new technologies,
such as Stereoscopic ...
StoryPass: a system and study for memorable secure passphrases.
(2014-10-01)
The goal of this thesis is to study the implementation of a passphrase system that
implements new creation policies, called StoryPass. We are motivated to do this
research as current text-based authentication methods, ...
Characterization of two component systems of Acinetobacter baumannii.
(2014-10-01)
Acinetobacter baumannii is an important opportunistic pathogen of hospital acquired infection, particularly in intensive care units. The emergence and rapid spread of multidrug-resistant A. baumannii strains has become a ...
A framework for video-driven crowd synthesis.
(2014-09-01)
We present a framework for video-driven crowd synthesis. The proposed framework
employs motion analysis techniques to extract inter-frame motion vectors from the exemplar
crowd videos. Motion vectors collected over the ...
Elucidation of the lipid degradation process in soft tissue and fluid during decomposition, in the presence and absence of insects.
(2014-08-01)
Decomposition has been extensively studied in the presence of insects, however
the process in the absence of insects has been considerably less documented. In this
study, the decomposition process was compared between ...
Computational and laboratory investigations of a model of blood droplet flight for forensic applications
(2014-01-01)
Game developers strive to maximize immersion and engagement,
to emotionally involve the audience in their material. One technique
used to increase engagement is the development of new technologies,
such as Stereoscopic ...
Forward genetic analysis of cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor resistance and wall hydrolysis sensitivity.
(2014-09-01)
The functional analysis of components involved in cellulose biosynthesis is central in
understanding cell wall assembly and structure in plants. We conducted screens using the
herbicides, isoxaben and flupoxam which inhibit ...
