The purpose of this study is to devise a method which will apply already developed technology enabling the estimation of key body part joints in humans from images and video and combine those estimations to a 3D avatar. Doing this will allow for a rea . . .

With the world's supply of fossil fuels decreasing by the day, and the environmental impact of extracting such fuels from the earth taking a toll on the planet, the demand for an alternative is increasing. In the long term renewable energies will prov . . .

Vanadium complexes are of interest as catalysts for the coupling of aldehydes, for understanding enzyme reactivity, and one-electron reductions. In particular vanadium complexes with low oxidation states (low valent) are relatively rare and could be u . . .

The Fukushima nuclear disaster that occurred in March of 2011 let off a suite of radioactive contaminants that had potential effects on a wide range of species living in the area, one of which is the Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica gutturalis). The red . . .

Photos require a color palette and a file that maps locations of every pixel. Storing these files onto an FPGA allows easy photo manipulation. Research conducted for a multi-photo build required the Nexys 4 DDR FPGA. Using the on-board VGA output, dis . . .

The goal of this research work is to design candidate alcohols with optimal properties for biodiesel production by transesterification. The global storage of fossil fuel is dwindling and its price is increasing, triggering an interest in biodiesel as . . .

Aquilegia is a good model system for genetic and evolutionary studies. Its phylogenetic position is between grasses and core eudicots. Aquilegia is a genus consisting of 60-70 species. Aquilegia has a cymose inflorescence pattern. The branching patter . . .

Candidiasis is a common fungal infection caused by an overgrowth of the dimorphic yeast Candida albicans (C. albicans). Although prevalent in our normal gut flora, C. albicans can become pathogenic with an ability to switch morphology and form biofilm . . .

This paper presents the use of stereoscopic vision as a means of autonomous collision avoidance for multicopters with applications for unmanned autonomous systems (UASs). Stereoscopic vision offers an affordable, accessible, and effective method of co . . .

Aquilegia coerulea is an emerging model system in plants. The interesting floral morphology includes spurred petals, petaloid sepals, novel organ staminodia, stamens, and carpels. The morphological traits make it attractive for genetic, ecological and . . .
