Cluster techniques and prediction models for a digital media learning environment
(2012-08-01)
The present work applies well-known data mining techniques in a digital learning
media environment in order to identify groups of students based on their pro le. We
generate identi able clusters where some interesting ...
Developing effective virtual simulations and serious games: the effect of background sound cues on visual quality perception
(2012-08-01)
Virtual simulations and serious games (video game-based technologies applied to
teaching and learning) have been incorporated in the teaching and training curricula of a
large number of professions including medicine/surgery. ...
Arthropod successionin Whitehorse, Yukon Territory and compared development of protophormia terraenovae (R. -D.) from Beringia and the Great Lakes Region
(2012-07-01)
Forensic medicocriminal entomology is used in the estimation of post-mortem intervals in death investigations, by means of arthropod succession patterns and the development rates of individual insect species. The purpose ...
Expression of Arabidopsis thaliana cellulose synthase proteins and associated proteins in a Spodoptera frugiperda cell line
(2012-10-01)
Understanding how cellulose synthesis occurs is key to understanding the
formation of the plant cell wall. This understanding could also be key to modifying
cellulose production to permit more efficient extraction of ...
Effects of prebiotic fibre diets on rat mucosal intestinal and systemic immunity and in vitro mechanistic analysis of anti-inflammatory effects of lactobacillus strains on rat and human intestinal epithelial cells
(2012-08-01)
Probiotics and prebiotics are emerging household terms, whose claimed health benefits share commonality. Their attributed health benefits include the production or induction of short chain fatty acids, maintaining bowel ...
Self-healing solutions for LTE evolved packet core
(2012-10-01)
The 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) is considered as a dominant future cellular wireless
technology in terms of performance and user experience. With technological advancement of the
wireless networks, dependencies and ...
Mobility modeling and topology prediction in cognitive mobile networks
(2012-07-01)
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze a non-intrusive connectivity visualization method for
OLSR-based MANET topology in different mobility models. The visualization relies on the local
topology databases (neighborhood ...
Using Rabin-Karp fingerprints and LevelDB for faster searches
(2012-12-01)
This thesis represents the results of a study into using fingerprints generated according to the Rabin-Karp Algorithm, and a database LevelDB to achieve Text Search times below GREP, which is a standard command-line UNIX ...
Pourbaix diagrams at elevated temperatures: a study of Zn and Sn
(2012-08-01)
Metals in industrial settings such as power plants are often subjected to high
temperature and pressure aqueous environments, where failure to control corrosion
compromises worker and environment safety. For instance, ...
Predicting mutation score using source code and test suite metrics
(2012-09-01)
Mutation testing has traditionally been used to evaluate the effectiveness of test suites
and provide con dence in the testing process. Mutation testing involves the creation of
many versions of a program each with a single ...
