Impact of potato protein supplementation with dietary fermentable materials on immune measures in Sprague-Dawley rats
(2020-09-01)
Bacteria may influence the immune system by fermenting dietary fermentable materials (DFM) that resist digestion and reach the colon intact. This study investigated how resistant protein supplementation could affect the ...
Material properties and mechanical behaviour of large-scale additively manufactured multi-layered steels
(2020-03-01)
Metal Big Area Additive Manufacturing is an additive manufacturing technique based on gas metal arc welding. The systems’ dual nozzle design prints two steels simultaneously; in this study, the test samples are made from ...
The World Trade Web: using network analysis and machine learning as tools for public policy decision-making
(2020-11-01)
The World Trade Web (WTW) contains a wealth of information that upon rigorous analysis can aid governments in public policy decision-making. In my attempt to provide this valuable input, this dissertation uses two main ...
Kill switch design pattern for microservice architectures on internet of things devices
(2020-12-01)
Containers and virtual machines are being adopted to develop embedded Linux Internet-of-Things applications. Consumer Internet-of-Things devices have been notoriously insecure due to loss of continued software support. To ...
Deep learning approach to discontinuity-preserving image registration
(2020-05-01)
Image registration is an indispensable tool in medical image analysis. Traditionally, registration algorithms are aimed at aligning image pairs using regularizers to impose smoothness restrictions on unknown deformation ...
Automatic fault localization in concurrent programs using noising and search strategies
(2020-05-01)
Multithreaded programs can have considerable performance benefits over sequential programs. However, these advantages often come at a cost with respect to program understandability as well as testing and debugging challenges. ...
Synthesizing play: exploring the use of artificial intelligence to evaluate game user experience
(2020-03-01)
Digital games are a complex interactive medium providing a multitude of different experiences. The field of games user research (GUR) is dedicated to investigating and optimizing user experience in games. Such inquiries ...
Characterization of a carbon source-dependent, phytohormone-responsive, free methionine-(R)-sulfoxide reductase from Komagataeibacter hansenii
(2020-05-01)
Komagataeibacter hansenii ATCC 23769 is a gram negative, non-pathogenic, acetic acid bacterium, best known for its ability to produce bacterial cellulose (BC). BC, an extracellular polysaccharide, is an important component ...
Radiation response and optical characterization of carbon based thin-films prepared by saddle field plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition
(2020-09-01)
Carbon based thin-film materials have been attracting a lot of attention in many research fields due to their unique material properties. Detection of ionizing radiation is an important application that carbon and diamond ...
JoVA-hinge: joint variational autoencoders for personalized recommendation with implicit feedback
(2020-12-01)
Recently, Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) have shown remarkable performance in collaborative filtering (CF) with implicit feedback. These existing recommendation models learn user representations to reconstruct or predict ...
