Abstract:

Digital cameras are increasingly used for measurement tasks within engineering scenarios, often being part of metrology platforms. Existing cameras are well equipped to provide 2D information about the fields of view (FOV) they observe, the objects within the FOV, and the accompanying environments. But for some applications these 2D results are not sufficient, specifically applications that require Z dimensional data (depth data) along with the X and Y dimensional data. New designs of camera systems have previously been developed by integrating multiple cameras to provide 3D data, ranging from

Abstract:

Since the invention of the bipolar transistor in 1947, lateral dimensions of semiconductor devices have reduced by a factor of 4 and in-depth dimensions by some two orders of magnitude. This size reduction is continually making the accurate measurement of the latest generation of semiconductor devices more difficult. Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) is a highly effective analytical technique, traditionally used to measure concentration depth profiles, due to its high sensitivity and good depth resolution. The development of the floating ion gun (FLIG) at Warwick, allows the routine use o

Abstract:

This thesis addresses the problem of autonomous object segmentation. To do so the proposed segementation method uses some prior information, namely that the image to be segmented will have a low depth of field and that the object of interest will be more in focus than the background. To differentiate the object from the background scene, a multiscale wavelet based assessment is proposed. The focus assessment is used to generate a focus intensity map, and a sparse fields level set implementation of active contours is used to segment the object of interest. The initial contour is generated using

Abstract:

Automatic extraction of focused regions from images with low depth-of-field (DOF) is a problem without an efficient solution yet. The capability of extracting focused regions can help to bridge the semantic gap by integrating image regions which are meaningfully relevant and generally do not exhibit uniform visual characteristics. There exist two main difficulties for extracting focused regions from low DOF images using high-frequency based techniques: computational complexity and performance. A novel unsupervised segmentation approach based on ensemble clustering is proposed to extract the fo

Abstract:

This research presents a novel approach to the automatic rendering of 3D stereoscopic disparity image pairs from single 2D low depth-of-field (LDOF) images. Initially a depth map is produced through the assignment of depth to every delineated object and region in the image. Subsequently the left and right disparity images are produced through depth imagebased rendering (DIBR). The objects and regions in the image are initially assigned to one of six proposed groups or labels. Labelling is performed in two stages. The first involves the delineation of the dominant object-of-interest (OOI). The

Abstract:

The purpose of this research program was to study the behaviour of full-scale deep beams with realistic reinforcement details. In the overall research program, a total of eight deep beams were tested. A companion study by Li (2003) presents the results of four of these beams. This research examines the other four beams, two without uniformly distributed crack control reinforcement and two with distributed horizontal and vertical reinforcement. The specimens' dimensions were 2000 mm long and 400 mm thick, with two specimens having heights of 1160 mm and the other two heights of 1840 mm.

Abstract:

Heparin is a linear, heterogeneous, highly sulfated polysaccharide belonging to the family of glycosaminoglycans, endowed with anticoagulant and antithrombotic properties. Its linear chains are made up of 15-200 disaccharide units of N-sulfated or N-acetylated D-glucosamine linked to hexuronic (glucuronic or iduronic) acid. Low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs), developed to circumvent some unwanted side effect of unfractionated heparins (UFH), are obtained from UFH by diverse chemical and enzymatic depolymerisation processes.

Abstract:

Motivation: Next-generation sequencing technology is increasingly being used for clinical diagnostic tests. Unlike research cell lines, clinical samples are often genomically heterogeneous due to low sample purity or the presence of genetic subpopulations. Therefore, a variant calling algorithm for calling low-frequency polymorphisms in heterogeneous samples is needed. Result: We present a novel variant calling algorithm that uses a hierarchical Bayesian model to estimate allele frequency and call variants in heterogeneous samples. We show that our algorithm improves upon current classifiers

Abstract After the discovery of topological insulators (TIs), it has come to be widely recognized that topological states of matter can actually be widespread.

Dirac and, particularly, Weyl semimetals should support several transport and optical phenomena that are still being sought in experiments. A number of promising experimental results indic

Respiratory motion induces uncertainty in External Beam Radiotherapy (EBRT), which can result in sub-optimal dose delivery to the target tissue and unwanted dose to normal tissue.

In high doses, LPS signals through Toll-like-receptor 4 (TLR4) and triggers a cascade of events culminating in the release of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines and the activation of NF-κB. In contrast, super-low doses of LPS (1-100pg/ml) are able to trigger the persistent release of pro-inflammatory mediators while evading the compensa

Data for producing stillbirth estimates in these settings generally come from national household surveys due to the high proportion of women that give birth at home, and because of inadequate or absent civil and vital registration systems. There are several quality concerns with stillbirth data from household surveys, particularly around under-reporting and misclassification, which affect the reli

Abstract:

Atherosclerosis is a complex inflammation condition involving the accumulation of lipid-filled macrophages within the artery wall. Progression of the initial fatty streak to an advanced atherosclerotic plaque is characterized by the development of a necrotic core region containing cholesterol and dead cells. The oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) to oxidized LDL (oxLDL) and its subsequent uptake by macrophages to form foam cells are the key process in plaque formation. OxLDL is found within atherosclerotic plaque, and it is cytotoxic to a range of cells including macrophages through th

Abstract:

Includes bibliographical references.<br>The mechanism by which trees die following a low intensity fire is poorly understood. Traditionally, cambial necrosis (Carbon starvation hypothesis) has been used to explain post-fire tree mortality, however, this does not explain why some trees die within days following a fire. To address this, the hydraulic death hypothesis argues that post-fire tree mortality is a result of a reduction in hydraulic conductance rather than the necrosis of cambium. There are a number of proposed mechanisms by which hydraulic failure can occur during a fire: firstly, plu

Abstract:

This thesis provides an account of the history and the status quo of the death penalty in China, along with an analysis of its possible reform in the future. It begins by looking at the history of the use of the death penalty in China from the pre-Qin-Han era to the present. It revolves around consideration of the international law context, the drawbacks of and challenges to the Chinese legal system concerning the use of the death penalty and the would-be approaches to death penalty reform in China against the background of the global abolition movement. It examines the debates between reformi

Following slavery, capital punishment is slowly finding its way toward abolition. This trend is manifested both in international criminal law norms and international human rights norms.<br>In the international criminal law field, capital punishment, accepted under the Nuremberg and Tokyo Charters, was rejected half a century later in the Statute of the International Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia, then in the Statute of the International Tribunal for Rwanda, and most recently in the Rome Statute.<br>Parallel to developments in the international criminal law field, a similar evolution was exper

Abstract:

Atherosclerosis is a complex inflammatory disease involving the deposition of cholesterolloaded macrophage cells within the artery wall. Progression of the initial fatty streak to an advanced atherosclerotic plaque is characterised by the development of a necrotic core region containing cholesterol and dead cells. It is well established that the formation of oxidised low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) and the resulting toxicity to macrophage cells is a key driver in the development of the necrotic core. OxLDL contains the oxysterol, 7-ketocholesterol, which is the predominant oxysterol found with
