Autism Serious Game Framework (ASGF) for Developing Games for Children with Autism
(2019-12-01)
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by impaired social communication and interaction, and by restricted, repetitive interests and behaviours. The mean clinical age of diagnosis is still four to five years, ...
The development of an anesthesia crisis scenario builder for virtual reality training
(2019-08-01)
Anesthesiologists are trained in the field of anesthesia and preoperative medicine; they are required to develop anesthetic plans and monitor patients vitals. Currently, anesthesia trainees are taught using traditional ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Probing the influence of relative humidity and temperature on the sulfonated silica ceramic carbon electrode for PEM fuel cell operation
(2019-05-01)
Operation of fuel cells under low relative humidity (RH) and high temperature is a useful way to cut-down cost and increase performance. However, the Nafion ionomer employed in the electrode of the conventional fuel cells ...
Virtual drilling haptics perception from auditory cues employing low-end haptic devices
(2018-12-01)
Simulation-based training is being widely adopted in medical education because it allows exposing trainees to safe and controlled simulated scenarios otherwise impossible to reproduce in real life. Current advances in ...
Exploring design alternatives in game development engines using visual programming
(2019-04-01)
We present BPAlt – a system which allows game developers to create and manage alternatives for Unreal Engine’s Blueprints Visual Scripting System. BPAlt allows the user to create, save, organize and swap Blueprint alternatives ...
A few randomized protocols in peer-to-peer networks
(2019-08-01)
This thesis studies a few randomized algorithms in application-layer peer-to-peer networks. The significant gain in scalability and resilience that peer-to-peer networks provide has made them widely used and adopted in ...
