Niemann-Pick Type C (NPC) disease is an autosomal recessive disorder that results in accumulation of unesterified cholesterol in late endosomes/lysosomes (LE/Ls), leading to progressive neurodegeneration and premature death. Microglia are resident immune cells of the central nervous system, which...

Gesture Recognition using Hidden Markov Models, Dynamic Time Warping, and Geometric Template Matching
DownloadFall 2013
Gesture recognition is useful in many applications, including human-computer interaction, automated sign language recognition, medical applications, and many more. The main focus of this thesis is to improve the isolated gesture recognition accuracy of Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) and to provide a...

Glial Expression of Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) and its Processing Enzymes in the ANPC Mouse Model
DownloadFall 2021
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a complex and progressive neurodegenerative disorder believed to be triggered by the accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ) peptides derived from the proteolytic processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP). The regions primarily affected in AD brains are the hippocampus and...

Tiered Behaviour Architecture for Virtual Characters using Cyclic Scheduling and Behaviour Capture
DownloadSpring 2015
A story-based video game contains many characters. A few are controlled by the player and the majority are virtual characters, controlled by artificial intelligence. In recent years, video game artificial intelligence has developed slower than other aspects of video games, such as graphics,...
