The control of powered prosthetic arms has been researched for over 50 years, yet prosthetic control remains an open problem, not just from a research perspective, but from a clinical perspective as well. Significant advances have been made in the manufacture of highly functional prosthetic...

Skinner, W., Flannigan, M., Shabber, A.
An empirical scheme for predicting the meteorological conditions that lead to summer forest fire severity for Canada using the multivariate singular value decomposition (SVD) has been developed for the 1953-2007 period. The levels and sources of predictive skill have been estimated using a...

Understanding biochemical reactions inside cells of individual organisms is a key factor for improving our biological knowledge. Signaling pathways provide a road map for a wide range of these chemical reactions that convert one signal or stimulus into another. In general, each signaling pathway...

There are currently no reliable methods for predicting liquid heat capacities of ill-defined hydrocarbons, such as bitumen and heavy crude oils and their partly processed fractions. Estimation techniques for liquid phase isobaric heat capacity of pure compounds include corresponding state and...

Needle Shape Visualization, Tracking and Steering Control for Permanent Prostate Brachytherapy Applications
DownloadFall 2016
Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent types of cancers in North American males, afflicting one in eight men over the course of their lifetime. Fortunately, early-stage prostate cancer has a wide variety of treatment options. One such option, permanent prostate brachytherapy, has been...

Proteins, which participate in virtually every process within cells, implement many of their functions through interactions with various ligands. Although a substantial effort in characterization and prediction of protein-ligand interactions was observed in the past two decades, these subjects...

Implementation and Evaluation of Spatiotemporal Prediction Algorithms and Prediction of Spatially Distributed Greenhouse Gas Inventories
DownloadFall 2011
Growing environmental concerns require monitoring and modelling of greenhouse gases. These modelling efforts require processing of massive datasets in a timely fashion. This, in turn, can lead to feasibility problems when estimating values of missing data points. This thesis examines and compares...

Impacts of Recovery Rates and Terms of Trade on Strange Attractors and Predictability in Sustainable Agriculture

Schilizzi, Steven, Apedaile, L. Peter, Freedman, H.I., Solomonovich, M.
Sustaining agricultural systems requires the ability to predict approaching extinction. Thus a suitable model needs to generate predictability as an intrinsic attribute. Such a model should provide several features for managers. It should incorporate learning about the minimum sustainable...

Background Insects constitute the vast majority of known species with their importance including biodiversity, agricultural, and human health concerns. It is likely that the successful adaptation of the Insecta clade depends on specific components in its proteome that give rise to specialized...
