Examining effects of milk ferment components on endothelial cell signaling in pro-inflammatory pathways
(2015-08-01)
Atherosclerosis is a complex, multifactorial, inflammatory disease involving cholesterol, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, macrophages and platelets. Atherosclerosis, and the associated cardiovascular diseases it ...
Mathematical methods for 2D-3D cardiac image registration
(2016-12-01)
We propose a mathematical formulation aimed at intensity-based slice-to-volume registration,
aligning a cross-sectional slice of a 3D volume to a 2D image. The approach is
flexible and can accommodate various regularization ...
Isolation and partial characterization of three acetylcholine-gated chloride channels in Haemonchus contortus
(2017-01-01)
Haemonchus contortus is a parasitic nematode infecting ruminants causing anemia and poor health due to the parasite’s blood-feeding nature. The ability to manage infection has been confounded by the rapid development of ...
Data curation with ontology functional dependences
(2017-04-01)
Poor data quality has become a pervasive issue due to the increasing complexity and size of modern datasets. Functional
dependencies have been used in existing cleaning solutions to model syntactic equivalence. They are ...
A coherent point drift algorithm for breast image registration via surface markers
(2017-03-01)
Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a reliable imaging tool for localization and
evaluation of lesions prior to breast conserving surgery (BCS). MR images typically will
be used to determine the size and location ...
Characterizing water-metal interfaces and machine learning potential energy surfaces
(2017-08-01)
In this thesis, we first discuss the fundamentals of ab initio electronic structure theory and density functional theory (DFT). We also discuss statistics related to computing thermodynamic averages of molecular dynamics ...
Design and performance evaluation of data dissemination and hovering information protocols for vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs)
(2017-07-01)
Robust and efficient communication protocols for Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs)
are still an open topic in the literature. Because of that, our attention has been gathered
by the Data Dissemination and the Information ...
Analysing atomic structure in nano-scale imagery
(2017-01-01)
This thesis presents methods for both detecting atoms and reconstructing single layer molecular
geometry depicted within high resolution nanoscale imagery. Nanoscale imaging is a common
method of analysing molecular ...
Towards secure and privacy preserving e-health data exchanges through consent based access control
(2017-09-01)
How we administer healthcare continues to evolve alongside the advancement of information technology. As we become more connected, the Internet of Things and our want to share information in a timely manner encourage us ...
Trust-based framework for information sharing in health care
(2016-10-01)
The use of information systems in the health care area specifically in Mobile health
care, can result in delivering high quality and efficient patient care. At the same
time, using electronic systems for sharing information ...
