A graph-based real-time spatial sound framework
(2020-01-01)
Given the importance of sound, and our ability to localize sound sources in three-dimensions in the real world, incorporating spatial sound in virtual environments can help increase realism, improve the sense of “presence”, ...
A method to detect and represent temporal patterns from time series data and its application for analysis of physiological data streams
(2020-03-01)
In critical care, complex systems and sensors continuously monitor patients’ physiological features such as heart rate, respiratory rate thus generating significant amounts of data every second. This results to more than ...
Development and modeling of a lab-scale integrated copper-chlorine cycle for hydrogen production
(2020-08-01)
Hydrogen is one of the most important energy carriers, clean fuels, and storage media in the upcoming future. Hydrogen production through the thermochemical copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) cycle is one of the most promising methods ...
A system framework for non-intrusive monitoring of HMI states for detecting human-in-the-loop error precursors
(2020-04-01)
Past industrial accidents suggest that increased automation has had an adverse effect on operator situational awareness (SA) and Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) errors. More so, any current automation is not yet capable of providing ...
Modeling and analysis of truck tire-terrain interaction
(2020-04-01)
One of the key factors for improving the mobility and operating efficiency of trucks is the understanding of the tire-terrain interaction characteristics. Due to the broad range of terrains that trucks may operate over, ...
Finding success in life: the voices of at-risk youth
(2020-04-01)
The aim of this dissertation is to rethink and broaden the understanding of success from the perspectives of at-risk youth. Current conceptualizations of success commonly found in criminological literature are based on ...
The influence of surface tension on F2-Bubble Morphology at detachment from carbon electrodes in KF-2HF molten fluoride salt
(2020-04-01)
Molecular F2 and H2-bubbles were generated electrochemically on amorphous carbon electrodes in KF-2HF molten salt to study the effect of surface tension (ϒ) on the profile of a bubble. F2 is used for the purification and ...
Electron paramagnetic resonance for dosimetry in freshwater aquatic environments
(2020-08-01)
This thesis explores the feasibility of detection of radiological contamination in aquatic environments through Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Exposure of freshwater ecosystems is possible as a result ...
Adaptive serious games for computer science education
(2020-10-01)
Serious games have the potential to effectively engage students to learn, however, these games tend to struggle accommodating learners with diverse abilities and needs. Furthermore, customizing a serious game to the ...
Development of Non-covalent Chemical Probes for μ, δ and κ Opioid Receptors
(2020-12-01)
Opioids are well-known pain relievers and one of several therapeutic options for pain management. Although opioids are very effective analgesics, continued use and abuse can lead to physical dependence and withdrawal ...
