Aerodynamic and thermal analysis of a heat source at the underside of a passenger vehicle
(2014-12-01)
The first part of this thesis involves full experimental and numerical studies to understand the effects of cross-winds on the automotive underbody aero-thermal phenomena using a 2005 Chevrolet Aveo5 with a heat source ...
Using detection in depth to counter SCADA-specific advanced persistent threats
(2014-04-01)
A heavy focus has recently been placed on the current state of each country’s critical
infrastructure security. Unfortunately, widely deployed supervisory control and data
acquisition (SCADA) protocols provide little ...
Stereoscopic depth axis interaction: A study of performance and engagement in stereoscopic 3D games.
(2014-01-01)
Game developers strive to maximize immersion and engagement,
to emotionally involve the audience in their material. One technique
used to increase engagement is the development of new technologies,
such as Stereoscopic ...
The synthesis and in vitro evaluation of short interfering RNAs that contain internal modified alkyl spacers
(2014-08-01)
The ability to silence genes effectively at the pre-translational level through the use of short interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) has become a widely studied area since the discovery of the RNA interference pathway in ...
Investigation into the role of binding loop E on the function of the nematode cys-loop GABA receptor.
(2014-12-01)
Haemonchus contortus is a parasitic nematode that infects the abomasum of
ruminants. While several classes of anthelmintic drugs exist to control nematode infections,
H. contortus is resistant to all of them. Therefore, ...
Computational and laboratory investigations of a model of blood droplet flight for forensic applications
(2014-01-01)
Game developers strive to maximize immersion and engagement,
to emotionally involve the audience in their material. One technique
used to increase engagement is the development of new technologies,
such as Stereoscopic ...
Non-precious metal catalysts prepared by chemical functionalization of carbon surfaces.
(2014-08-01)
New sources of power are of great interest as attempts to make smaller, more convenient and environmentally friendly sources are being investigated. Hydrogen fuel cells are a way to combine both an effective method of power ...
Object-centric temporal navigation for dynamic information visualizations.
(2014-08-01)
We introduce object-centric temporal navigation for time-varying information visualizations.
In our approach, navigation through time is controlled by interacting directly with
any data item, enabling simultaneous exploration ...
Towards a concurrent implementation of keyword search over relational databases.
(2014-06-01)
Vast amounts of data are stored in relational databases. Traditionally, querying this data required a deep understanding of the underlying schema in addition to knowledge of a query language such as structured query language ...
The effects of select non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on green and brown hydra
(2014-04-01)
Effluent pharmaceuticals are released at low concentrations into aquatic ecosystems through waste water treatment plants (WWTPs). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are important contaminants in water cycles. ...
