Image super resolution via non-local normalized graph Laplacian regularization
(2019-05-01)
Given we live in a digital age where images are regularly being viewed, posted, or utilized, spectators of such images on occasion could prefer a higher resolution perspective. The process of producing a high-resolution ...
Impact of carbon micro/mesoporosity on the adsorption behavior of small molecules
(2019-08-01)
Adsorption studies on carbon play a key role in fields such as environmental remediation, purification, and catalysis. Because of the inherently high surface area, low cost, and inertness of activated carbons, these materials ...
Nanostructured carbon-based materials for electrochemical applications
(2019-12-01)
Mesoporous carbons have been widely studied due to the relevance of these materials for applications in energy storage and conversion devices (batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells), mainly due to their high surface ...
Temperature dependent structural, electronic and optical properties of the Si(100) surface from first principles
(2019-04-01)
The results presented here were obtained using the local density approximation (LDA) to density functional theory (DFT), within the pseudo-potentials scheme. We present the results of the numerical simulations for the Si ...
Joint spatial and layer attention for convolutional networks
(2019-05-01)
In this work, we propose a novel approach that learns to sequentially attend to different
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) layers (i.e., “what” feature abstraction to attend to) and different spatial locations of the ...
Isolation and partial characterization of three members of the GGR-1 family in the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus
(2019-08-01)
Haemonchus contortus is a blood sucking parasitic nematode that infects ruminant animals. These parasites are of significant economic importance as they are estimated to cost the agricultural industry billions of dollars ...
UniNet: A mixed reality driving simulator
(2019-08-01)
Driving simulators play an important role in vehicle research. However, existing virtual reality simulators do not give users a true sense of presence. UniNet is our driving simulator, designed to allow users to interact ...
Design and evaluation of a novel convolutional neural network for short-term vehicle multi-traffic prediction
(2019-08-01)
Short-term vehicle traffic forecasting is about predicting how traffic indicators are going to be in the near future. The main traffic parameters are: traffic volume, traffic speed, and congestion state. In this thesis, ...
Computational studies of semiflexible polymer translocation in nanopore systems
(2019-08-01)
The translocation of double stranded DNA (dsDNA) through nanopore systems is a field with rich physics and many promising technological applications. Double stranded DNA is not fully flexible, and the translocation dynamics ...
I remember, at least I think I do : An investigation into emotional memories and our perception of them over time
(2019-12-01)
Entertainment and emotions play a large part in the area of education and learning, however there is a lack of understanding in both the implementation of game-based learning and how this information changes over time. ...
