Enterprise architecture is a relatively new concept that arose in the latter half of the
twentieth century as a means of managing the information technology resources within
the enterprise. Borrowing from the disciplines ...
There is a great need for the development of highly selective sensors for detecting various toxic gases and their mixtures in many industrial, medical, space exploration and environmental monitoring applications. Environmental ...
In 2007, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced the Secure
Hash Function-3 (SHA-3) competition to select a successor of the SHA-2 standard after vulnerabilities
were discovered in the related ...
Real estate is a huge domain, and people think of selling, renting and purchasing
the property which includes huge investments. The most important part comes while
dealing with the property is “Searching”. There are ...
With increasing demand of mobile devices and cloud computing, it becomes increasingly important to develop efficient mobile application and its secured backend, such as web applications and virtualization environment. This ...
The global financial system appears to be heading for a major financial crisis. This crisis is being driven by a growing global debt. This crisis is not limited to nations that are heavily in debt such as Greece, Spain, ...
Alcoholism and alcohol abuse is a severe problem. An increase in the blood ethanol concentration affects the function of many parts of the brain, including the Basal Ganglia, which is critical for goal directed and habitual ...
There is a growing interest in light weight implementation of cryptographic algorithms
for low-resource ubiquitous computing devices such as a wireless sensor nodes (WSN) or radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. ...
Myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) are palpable, painful nodules that develop in skele-
tal muscle and are a characteristic finding in myofascial pain syndrome (MPS), a common
chronic pain condition. Symptomatic MTrPs are ...
As the volume of potential digital evidence increases, digital forensics investigators are
challenged to find the best allocation of their limited resources. While automation will
continue to partially mitigate this ...
The evaluation of structural systems is a necessary task in order to maintain the integrity of structures over time. These assessments are designed to detect damages of structures and ideally help inspectors to estimate ...
The need for automated Bayesian Network (BN) construction from data has
increased for a variety of reasons. Elicitation of networks from experts can be time
consuming and expensive. With large, complex problems, construction ...
Benchmarking of digital designs targeting FPGAs is a time intensive and challenging process. Benchmarking results depend on a myriad of variables beyond the properties inherent to the designs being evaluated, encompassing ...
This thesis establishes algorithms and analytical methods for implementing and
evaluating distributed information fusion in networks with non-deterministic
communications connectivity. The methods developed in this thesis ...
Receptor-mediated recognition, interaction and entry into cells are fundamental
mechanisms in cell biology notably for the control of cell fate and behavior [1]. However,
the role of specific spatial arrangements of ...
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the molecule used by all living organisms to carry their genetic information and pass on their heritable traits between generations. DNA molecules have also other intrinsic properties that ...
As the use of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are rapidly becoming a fundamental part
of the global infrastructure, effective and reliable authentication schemes are now essential.
For WSNs this problem is difficult, ...
Deriving analytical performance models requires detailed knowledge of the architecture and behavior of the computer system being modeled as well as modeling skills. In autonomic computing environments, this detailed knowledge ...
A dialog system or a conversational agent provides a means for a human to interact with a computer system. Dialog systems use text, voice and other means to carry out conversations with humans in order to achieve some ...
