Deep-sea vent and subsurface microorganisms are metabolically diverse and often display unique adaptive strategies that operate under elevated pressure conditions. However, because high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) laboratory ...

Diabetes is a global epidemic affecting approximately 537 million people worldwide, which can lead to multiple complications. Non-enzymatic glycation (NEG), a post-translational modification process that is highly accelerated ...

We use the principles of biomechanics in order to design a biologically tenable model that explores the non-planar effects of iris deformation. Current iris biometric algorithms assume a simple transformation to approximate ...

In the second part of this work, we extend the work of the first part by studying the energy supplier's problem of selling energy to the PEVs while buying the same from the generators (market) through an auction process. ...

This thesis explores extensions to the discontinuous Galerkin difference (DGD) method as a means of simulating hyperbolic conservation laws in a stable and efficient way. The first part of the thesis focuses on an ...

When part of the information about a social network is missing, we hope to utilize the information we already have to extract the missing information. If we regard the actors as nodes and the relations between actors as ...

The cumulative work presented here shows an end-to-end spike-accurate neuromorphic hardware simulation system. This system is massively scalable, high performance, and able to provide performance metrics, virtual network ...
