Analysis of the volatile organic compounds produced by the decomposition of pig carcasses and human remains
(2013-03-01)
Complex processes of decomposition produce a variety of chemicals as soft tissues and their component parts are degraded. Among others, these decomposition by-products include volatile organic compounds (VOCs) responsible ...
Topic models for image localization
(2013-08-01)
We present a new scheme for partitioning geo-tagged reference image database in an effort
to speed up query image localization while maintaining acceptable localization accuracy. Our
method learns a topic model over the ...
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 ...
Synthesis and characterization of nanostructured catalysts for photovoltaic applications
(2013-07-01)
The objective of this project was to investigate the effect of the morphology of titanium
dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles on the electron transport properties and light harvesting potential in
a dye sensitized solar cell ...
Robust curved road boundary identification using hierarchical clustering.
(2013-11-01)
We develop a new method for automatic curved road boundary detection in images captured by
traffic cameras. The proposed method combines data driven (edge segments) and model based
(2nd degree polynomial models for road ...
Molecular characterization of the interactions of the Resistance-Nodulation-Division Pump MexJK of Pseudomonas aeruginosa with outer membrane proteins OprM and OpmH.
(2013-08-01)
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen, which has become a significant threat due to wide-spread antimicrobial resistance. Resistance Nodulation Division efflux pumps are important ...
An investigation of semantic patterns in passwords
(2013-08-01)
The advent of large password leaks in recent years has exposed the
security problems of passwords and enabled deeper empirical investigation
of password patterns. Researchers have only touched the surface
of patterns in ...
Assessment of wastewater algae for use in biofuel production
(2013-08-01)
Although new technologies have allowed the attainment of previously untapped fossil fuels these practises are unsustainable and harmful to the environment. Part of the solution to ease the fuel burden is through renewable ...
The effects of stereoscopic 3D on an incidence response training game
(2013-08-01)
A critical incident is defined as one of the most serious situations that
can occur at any institution. Among these critical incidents are fire
hazards, which resulted in 224 civilian deaths, and approximately 1.5$
billion ...
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 ...
