Complexity Reduction Of Motion Estimation In HEVC
(Electrical Engineering, 2014-12)
The High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard is the latest video coding project developed by the Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding (JCT-VC) which involves the International Telecommunication Unit (ITU-T) Video ...
Thermal Conduction And Heat Generation Phenomena In Li-ion Cells
(Mechanical Engineering, 2014-12)
Cylindrical lithium ion (Li-ion) cells have demonstrated high power density and energy capacity among other energy storage devices. Despite their already widespread use, the thermal transport properties of cylindrical ...
Discovery Of Anomalous Patterns Within Multidimensional, Asynchronous Time-series With An Emphasis On The "internet Of Things"
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2014-12)
In this dissertation we examine ``Internet-scale'' systems that present us with multidimensional time-series data characterized by many sources sending symbols at irregular intervals over a common channel. We explore a ...
A Systems Thinking Approach To Apply Water Sustainability In Hospitals
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2014)
One of the most critical challenges the world is facing is to ensure everyone has access to an adequate and quality supply of water. As the population increases, the demand for water rises. Water needs to be sustained for ...
A Study Of The Function Of Two Nuclear Transport Retrogenes (dntf-2r And Ran-like) In Drosophila Melanogaster
(Biology, 2014-12)
The genetic information, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid), is the hereditary material that forms the basis for the origin and evolution of life. These molecules encode and store information that can ...
Some Considerations Of Performance And Capacity Of Voice Over IP High Bit Rate Wireless Reverse Links
(Electrical Engineering, 2014-12)
Evaluation of the performance and capacity of the wireless reverse links, that support concurrent voice over IP and packet data services, is important for spectral efficiency considerations. For a given traffic mix, this ...
Art At The End Of The World: Bioart And Posthuman Ethics In The Anthropocene
(English, 2014-12)
Bioart is a vital contemporary aesthetic movement that involves the use of animate matter (such as animal bodies or DNA) and is generative of productive encounters between theoretical methodologies of posthumanism, new ...
Continuing Narratives Of The Pharmakos: Trans-ethical Perspectives Through The Liminal Performativity Of Material Agencies In Drug Genre Film
(English, 2014-12)
In American film and television, the drug user or producer is often associated with narratives of the pharmakos, or "scapegoat," seemingly serving to expel the contamination of American identity and ethics. By analyzing ...
Electrowetting On Dielectric Digital Microfluidics For 3-dimensional Cell Culture And Chemical Screening
(Mechanical Engineering, 2014-12)
Microfluidic devices have allowed improved cell culture studies to be carried out by allowing greater spatiotemporal control over the cell environment while at the same time providing greater throughput, increased automation ...
Engaging Families In Literacy Education
(Social Work, 2014-12)
Parent/caregiver participation is an essential component of the literacy education process. Current school-directed methods of involving parents/caregivers have shown inconsistent results regarding student literacy outcomes. ...
