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 ...
Mixed-Language Arabic- English Information Retrieval
(2013)
This thesis attempts to address the problem of mixed querying in CLIR. It proposes mixed-language (language-aware) approaches in which mixed queries are used to retrieve most relevant documents, regardless of their languages. ...
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 ...
Universal web application server
(2007)
The growth of the World Wide Web has in large part been made possible by the technologies that power it. These are the Web servers and Web browsers that many take for granted. Each has evolved to support the changing needs ...
Distributed authentication to preserve privacy through smart card based biometric matching
(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 ...
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 ...
ROLAND : a tool for the realistic optimisation of local access network design
(1999)
Investment in the local access network represents between 50% and 70% of capital investment of a telecommunications company. This thesis investigates algorithms that can be used to design economical access networks and ...
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. ...
