Enhancement of lateral stability of car-trailer systems using model-reference adaptive control
(2019-12-01)
Car-Trailer (CT) systems exhibit reduced maneuverability in curved-path negotiations and display low lateral stability under high-speed evasive maneuvers. Therefore, the objective of this thesis is to design a Lyapunov-S ...
StoryPass: a system and study for memorable secure passphrases.
(2014-10-01)
The goal of this thesis is to study the implementation of a passphrase system that
implements new creation policies, called StoryPass. We are motivated to do this
research as current text-based authentication methods, ...
Dynamic square patterns in two dimensional neural fields
(2015-07-29)
The goal of this thesis is to study the emergence of spatiotemporal waves in neural field models. Neural field models aim to describe the activity of populations of neurons at a mesoscopic scale, considering averaged ...
Towards measuring privacy
(2015-04-01)
The acceptable threshold for privacy is an individual choice, informed by culture, tradition and experience. That it is important, conversely, is self-evident. We use it to moderate personal information disclosure, how ...
A secure and privacy-preserving incentive framework for vehicular cloud
(2018-04-01)
Vehicular Cloud Computing (VCC) plays a critical role in data generation where a large number of vehicles collect various kinds of sensing resources with large-volume features. While the information that should be collected ...
Determining the impact of carrion decomposition on soil microbial activity levels and community composition.
(2013-12-01)
The ubiquitous nature of microorganisms and their specificity to certain locations make them potentially useful for forensic investigators. Advances in microbial profiling techniques have made it possible to compare microbial ...
CORE: a framework for the automatic repair of concurrency bugs
(2015-01-01)
Desktop computers now contain 2, 4 or even 8 processors. To benefit from them programs must be written to work in parallel. If writing good code is hard, writing good parallel code is much harder. Parallelization adds ...
A framework for privacy-preserving data sharing in smart grid
(2016-01-01)
While smart grid introduces a lot of enhancements to the traditional power grid and improves managing and controlling consumers demands, it also introduces security and privacy issues. Therefore, failure to address them ...
Dynamic probabilistic network protection in large-scale failure scenarios
(2015-01-01)
Large-scale failure resulting from natural disasters or intentional attacks is now considered a serious risk for communication network infrastructure. In these events, simultaneous damages in several links and nodes may ...
The conjugation and evaluation of hydrophobic small molecules to trazole-linked siRNAs
(2014-08-01)
According to the Human Development Index, it is estimated that all cancer cases will rise from 12.7 million cases in 2008 to 22.2 million by 2030. Traditional therapies, including surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, ...
