Effect of Consuming Dairy Fats on Obesity-Related Cardiometabolic Perturbations and Immune Function in Low Birthweight Swine
DownloadSpring 2023
Although dairy intake has been shown to have a neutral or some beneficial effect on major cardiometabolic risk factors, the impact of dairy, and especially dairy fat, on immune function remains to be investigated. To understand the effect of consuming dairy fat on cardiometabolic risk factors and...

The Effect of the Dental Follicle Volume of Palatally Impacted Maxillary Canines on the Relative Position of the Adjacent Teeth
DownloadFall 2023
Introduction: Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has provided in-depth three-dimensional insight into the field of dentistry that were not readily available in the past. It is typically used as an adjunct with traditional imaging modalities to use as a diagnostic aid in orthodontics where...

Moving Object Detection Using Unsupervised and Weakly Supervised Neural Networks in Videos with Illumination Changes and Dynamic Background
DownloadFall 2023
Background subtraction is a crucial task in computer vision applications, such as video surveillance, traffic monitoring, autonomous navigation, and human-computer interaction. This approach involves acquiring a background model to separate moving objects and the background from an input image....

Streamlining Decarbonized Construction through Automated Design and Drafting: Ribbed Precast Concrete Panels
DownloadFall 2023
The use of precast concrete panels in panelized construction has gained popularity due to their numerous advantages. However, conventional precast designs encounter challenges, such as high costs, limited flexibility, and restrictions in remodelling. To address these issues, this research...

We introduce the Condorcet attack, a new threat to fair transaction ordering. Specifically, the attack undermines batch-order-fairness, the strongest notion of transaction fair ordering proposed to date. The batch-order-fairness guarantees that a transaction tx is ordered before tx' if a majority...
