(2000)
This thesis focuses on privacy concerns, specifically those relating to the storage and use of biometrics. These concerns result from the fact that biometric information is unique. This uniqueness makes the biometric a ...
An extended spreadsheet paradigm for data visualisation systems, and its implementation
(2000)
We describe a data visualisation system which uses spreadsheets as its user interface metaphor. Similar systems implemented in the past were hampered by the contradiction between an imperative formula language and the ...
A lightweight interface to local grid scheduling systems
(2009)
Many complex research problems require an immense amount of computational power to solve. In order to solve such problems, the concept of the computational Grid was conceived. Although Grid technology is hailed as the next ...
Parallel fluid dynamics for the film and animation industries
(2009)
The creation of automated fluid effects for film and media using computer simulations is popular, as artist time is reduced and greater realism can be achieved through the use of numerical simulation of physical equations. ...
Towards realistic interactive sand : a GPU-based framework
(2009)
Many real-time computer games contain virtual worlds built upon terrestrial landscapes, in particular, "sandy" terrains, such as deserts and beaches. These terrains often contain large quantities of granular material, ...
Adaptive Bayesian Agents: Enabling distributed social networks

(2007)
The digital divide is largely seen as the main problem that developing economies and societies must overcome to gain economic productivity and social welfare. In this document we state that modern western perception of the ...
Force-extension of the Amylose Polysaccharide
(2009)
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder in which auto-antibodies directed at the acetylcholine receptors (AChR) of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) block, alter or destroy their targets. The anti-AChR antibodies ...
