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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
Investigation into the role of binding loop E on the function of the nematode cys-loop GABA receptor.
(2014-12-01)
Haemonchus contortus is a parasitic nematode that infects the abomasum of
ruminants. While several classes of anthelmintic drugs exist to control nematode infections,
H. contortus is resistant to all of them. Therefore, ...
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 ...
Towards a concurrent implementation of keyword search over relational databases.
(2014-06-01)
Vast amounts of data are stored in relational databases. Traditionally, querying this data required a deep understanding of the underlying schema in addition to knowledge of a query language such as structured query language ...
The effects of select non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on green and brown hydra
(2014-04-01)
Effluent pharmaceuticals are released at low concentrations into aquatic ecosystems through waste water treatment plants (WWTPs). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are important contaminants in water cycles. ...
The conjugation and evaluation of hydrophobic small molecules to trazole-linked siRNAs
(2014-08-01)
According to the Human Development Index, it is estimated that all cancer cases will rise from 12.7 million cases in 2008 to 22.2 million by 2030. Traditional therapies, including surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, ...
