  • Studies in food science for industrial applications : Chemical and sensory analysis of fermented cucumbers; insoluble chitosanpolyacrylic acid complexes

    Creator:
    Chavasit, Visith
    Abstract:
    Pediococcus cerevisiae, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactococcus diacetylactis Bifidobacterium bifidum, Leuconostoc oenos, and mixed cultures of Propionibacterium shermanii and P. cerevisiae were used to ferment cucumber juice brine (CJB) at 22-26°C for 1.5 months. Sugar utilization ranged from 14.6 to 86.1%. pH of the fermented CJB ranged from...

  • Characterization of factors affecting pectinmethylesterase activity in cucumber fruit

    Creator:
    Turk, Farzaneh
    Abstract:
    Pectinmethylesterase (PME) activity in fresh cucumber fruit was determined. The effects of several cationic species, temperature, pH, and acetic acid on the activity of cucumber PME was investigated. The efficacy of blanching, infiltration with CaCl₂ or acetic acid, and fermentation with 0 and 40 mM CaCl₂ on inhibition of cucumber...

  • Accuracy Evaluation of Real-Time GNSS Survey Observations

    Creator:
    Allahyari, Mahsa
    Abstract:
    Real time networks (RTNs) have become popular for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) surveys because highly accurate positions can be derived in seconds to minutes compared to hours as required with static sessions. To evaluate the accuracy of these shorter-duration, RTN GNSS observations and their potential for use as a...

  • Implementing High Dynamic Range (HDR) Photography to Improve 3D Laser Scanning Point Cloud Visualization and Segmentation

    Creator:
    Mahmoudabadi, Hamid
    Abstract:
    This research explores several novel approaches to improve visualization and segmentation of point clouds acquired with 3D laser scanning. 3D laser scanning is used in a wide variety of applications including surveying and mapping, transportation asset management, facilities management, building information modeling, crime scene investigations, cultural heritage and geologic instigations....

  • Random access machine in secure multi-party computation

    Creator:
    Hu, Zhangxiang
    Abstract:
    Secure multi-party computation (MPC) is a conceptual framework in cryptography. It allows distrusting parties engage in a protocol to perform a computational task while still maintain some secure properties. Most existing approaches are required to interpret functions as a boolean circuit. With the recent state-of-art circuit garbling scheme, the performance...

  • Analysis of spatial data from terrain models for landslide predictive mapping

    Creator:
    Santha, Rubini
    Abstract:
    Landslides are a pervasive hazard that can result in substantial damage to properties and loss of life throughout the world. To understand the nature and scope of the hazard, landslide hazard mapping has been an area of intense research by identifying areas most susceptible to landslides in order to mitigate...

  • Hip loading during the squat exercise

    Creator:
    Haberly, Gabriel J.
    Abstract:
    Hip fractures have high mortality and morbidity rates after incidence, with osteoporosis being a major risk factor due to the loss of bone mineral density (BMD). Lower-body resistance exercises, such as squats, can provide sufficient loading on the hip to induce osteogenic effects. However, this loading may depend on how...

  • Voxel based indirect illumination using spherical harmonics

    Creator:
    Rauwendaal, Randall
    Abstract:
    Realistic (ideally photorealistic) real-time rendering has remained an elusive goal in computer graphics. While photorealistic rendering has certainly been achieved at the expense of tremendous computational resources and corresponding rendering times; real-time rendering typically must accept a great number of compromises to achieve adequate performance, such as aliasing artifacts, the...

  • Computational methods for protein-protein interface prediction

    Creator:
    Tribelhorn, Benjamin
    Abstract:
    Protein-protein interactions underlie all biological processes and are a field of study that has wide implications throughout many other fields including medicine, genetics, biology, and ecology. Proteins are the building blocks and primary actors of life. They work together to accomplish virtually every task within a cell, including, metabolism, signal...

  • A dataflow mechanism for supporting query optimization

    Creator:
    Kalvin, Patricia M.
    Abstract:
    The objective of this thesis is to develop a tool which can be used to implement query processing algorithms produced by a query optimizer. The tool should have the following properties: (1) it should support a description of the query solution in a dataflow-like language, (2) it should support data...
