  • Modeling and dynamics analysis of P2P networks based on evolutionary games

    Creator:
    Cho, Seungyun
    Abstract:
    Since free riders in P2P network reduce the system's performance, how to maintain and encourage the nodes' cooperation is an important aspect of P2P related research. In this thesis, a P2P system is modeled based on two games: stag hunt game and snowdrift game. To relate the model to the...

  • Fast data replenishment in peer to peer networks

    Creator:
    Dhamodaran, Arul Nambi
    Abstract:
    Peer-to-Peer (P2P) based distributed storage systems have gain much popularity in recent years. These systems rely greatly on the data redundancy to be robust under network dynamics, i.e., the dynamics of peer entering and departing the network. Hence, it is important to implement mechanisms for maintaining a certain level of...

  • Antibiotic Resistance in Septic Sludge and Receiving Environments of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

    Creator:
    Schutzius, Genevieve Conyers
    Abstract:
    Approximately ninety percent of urban Vietnamese households are connected to septic tanks, from which up to three-quarters of the sludge is reported to be dumped into waterways in residential areas. Vietnam has a considerable prevalence of antibiotic misuse and resultant antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) in the human microbiome. Due to the...

  • Initial velocity analyses of milling effects on rates of enzyme-catalyzed saccharification of native wheat straw

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Quynh M.
    Abstract:
    There is considerable interest in developing environmentally friendly processes for the economical conversion of biomass plant material to biofuels, bioproducts and biomaterials. One approach to such a conversion process is to make use of enzymes for the conversion of plant polysaccharides to simple sugars; the simple sugars could then be...

  • Efficiency and productivity in U.S. commercial banking : a non-parametric approach

    Creator:
    Onkiso, Abinet
    Abstract:
    In this paper, I estimate efficiency and productivity change in the U.S. banking industry. The data consist of annual observations of 25 banks from 2004 to 2008. The paper follows a two-stage procedure. In the first-stage, utilizing the non-parametric methodologies, input-oriented Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model and DEA based Malmquist...

  • Toward Disentangling the Activations of the Deep Networks via Low-dimensional Embedding and Non-negative Factorization

    Creator:
    Khorram, Saeed
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, we introduce a novel Explanation Neural Network (XNN) to explain the predictions made by a deep network. The XNN works by embedding a high-dimensional activation vector of a deep network layer non-linearly into a low-dimensional explanation space while retaining faithfulness i.e., the original deep learning predictions can...

  • Integrating Side Effects in Variational Programs Using Algebraic Effects

    Creator:
    Alkubaish, Ghadeer
    Abstract:
    Variational programming supports efficiently executing many related programs at once by encoding all of the programs in one "variational program" that captures the differences among them statically and explicitly. An open problem in variational programming is how to handle side effects—if two program variants perform different side effects, we cannot...
