Topics in arithmetic combinatorics
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics, 2007-10-23)
This thesis is chiefly concerned with a classical conjecture of Littlewood's regarding the L^1-norm of the Fourier transform, and the closely related idempotent theorem. The vast majority of the results regarding these ...
Firewall information and security visualization : improving the usage and adoption of modern network firewalls by novice users
(2007)
The increasing number of people having access to computers and the Internet and the numerous services provided by the Internet - e.g., Internet banking, online shopping, eBay, email - emphasizes the need for computer ...
Investigating the efficacy of XML and stylesheets to render electronic courseware for multiple learning styles
(2007)
The objective of this project was to test the efficacy of using Extensible Markup Language (XML) - in particular the DocBook 5.0b5 schema - and Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) to render electronic ...
Perfect Implementation of Normal-Form Mechanisms
(2007-03)
Privacy and trust affect our strategic thinking, yet they have not been precisely modeled in mechanism design. In settings of incomplete information, traditional implementations of a normal-form mechanism ---by disregarding ...
Programming Manifolds
(2007)
Many programming domains involve the manipulation of values distributed through a manifold - examples include sensor networks, smart materials, and biofilms. This paper describes a programming semantics for manifolds based ...
Anomaly detection and prediction of human actions in a video surveillance environment
(2007)
World wide focus has over the years been shifting towards security issues, not in least due to recent world wide terrorist activities. Several researchers have proposed state of the art surveillance systems to help with ...
Help or hindrance? : an investigation into learning through web interfaces
(2007)
A usability study was designed with these issues in mind, to determine the influence of interface design on learning in an educational institution in Namibia. A pilot study identified obstacles and served to enhance the ...
A comparison of statistical and geometric reconstruction techniques : guidelines for correcting fossil hominin crania
(2007)
The study of human evolution centres, to a large extent, around the study of fossil morphology, including the comparison and interpretation of these remains within the context of what is known about morphological variation ...
An open source model for teaching environments incorporating wireless devices
(2007)
Attempts have been made at bridging the digital divide in schools using desktop PC systems without much success. As a result many computer laboratories sit empty. There are many reasons for these failures. Often there are ...
A capacity limited, cognitive constructionist model of virtual presence
(2007)
The capacity Limited, Cognitive Constructionist (CLCC) model of presence is proposed as an information processing model of presence, which is demonstrated to have more theoretical power than extant models. The CLCC model ...
