Conductive Si doped metal oxide fuel cell catalyst supports: understanding the role of Si content
(2021-08-01)
Current proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) catalysts commonly use platinum supported on carbon (Pt/C) which is susceptible to corrosion, thus a highly conductive and stable Ti3O5 doped by Si (TOS) conductive metal ...
The synthesis and in vitro evaluation of short interfering RNA containing triazole functionalized sphingolipid-based derivatives
(2021-12-01)
RNA Interference (RNAi) is a natural cellular process that silences the expression of a target gene in a sequence-specific manner by mediating targeted mRNA degradation. One of the main challenges in RNAi research is ...
Implicit gaze interaction for information visualization
(2021-08-01)
This thesis presents a novel marker-free method for identifying screens of interest when using head-mounted eye-tracking for visualization in cluttered and multi-screen environments. The presented approach offers a solution ...
Video game livestream spectator: motivations and behaviours
(2021-12-01)
In recent years, video game livestreams have seen tremendous growth, resulting gaps of knowledge regarding studies on the motivations and behaviours of livestream spectators. This thesis presents two studies that intend ...
Refining adverse outcome pathways using Japanese Medaka Embryos (Oryzias latipes) exposed to 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin
(2021-08-01)
Adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) are a framework that categorizes the impact of chemicals biologically from the initial molecular interaction through to the ecosystem level. This research aims to refine two existing AOPs ...
Peer evaluation with graph neural networks
(2021-12-01)
Peer assessment systems are rising in various social contexts, such as peer grading in large (online) classrooms, peer review in conferences, peer art evaluation, etc. However, peer assessments might not be as accurate as ...
Automatic knobs-tuning for DB2 using deep reinforcement learning
(2021-12-01)
Modern database management systems have hundreds of different configuration parameters (knobs) that control various aspects of how they behave and perform. These knobs must be properly tuned in order to maximize the ...
Parsing genetic models
(2022-01-01)
Applications of computer vision have seen great success recently, yet there are few approaches dealing with visual illustrations. We propose a collection of computer vision applications for parsing genetic models. Genetic ...
Echo: reconstructing gameplay sessions for analysis
(2021-04-01)
We created Echo, a tool designed to help bridge the gap between game analytics and video footage analysis. Echo reconstructs gameplay sessions from recorded data and presents them with their original graphics. A comparative ...
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 ...
