This thesis describes a new two-step algorithm for finding hidden groups from chat transcripts, that is, transcripts of communication where the recipient of a message is not known. The algorithm is presented in two steps: ...

Osteoarthritis (OA) is an irreversible degenerative joint disease characterized by low-grade inflammation, mechanical inferiority, and structural changes to the various joint tissues. At the center of OA progression is the ...

Standards permit increases in CO2 indoors in relationship to outdoor baseline levels, thus permitting an ever-increasing level of CO2 indoors. Although high concentrations of CO2 have been associated with perceptions of ...

Towards the second goal, we demonstrate that MSCs can be selectively enriched using mitochondrial and plasma membrane potential indicators. Electrically enriched MSCs are phenotypically distinct cells with distinct ...

In this work trajectory optimisation is explored through four different avenues, namely: 1. Direct Methods, 2. Heuristics, 3. Reinforcement learning, 4. Supervised Learning Each method builds off of its preceding session. ...

We next examine methods for improving the controller synthesis process or improving the resulting controller. We present two methods of optimizing the trajectories. In the first, we use a gradient descent approach to ...
