A Comprehensive Review and Multi-Method Examination of the Relationship between Social Anxiety and Alcohol Use
(2014-07-21)Epidemiological studies show that those with high social anxiety are at increased risk of having alcohol use problems. This risk appears especially high in socially anxious women. Researchers have long sought to understand ... -
A Comprehensive Study On One-way Backscatter Traffic Analysis
(2015-04-27)Since the occurrence and variety of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) has dramatically increased, the discovery of DDoS signatures (rules) become very difficult for current intrusion detection mechanisms. Darknets, which ... -
Compromised Tweet Detection Using weighted sub-word embeddings
(2019-08-07)Extracting features and writing styles from short text messages for compromised tweet detection is always a challenge. Short messages, such as tweets, do not have enough data to perform statistical authorship attribution. ... -
A computable general equilibrium model for the Chinese economy.

Computational Design: Developing and Applying Computational Tools for Architectural Design
(2014-04-04)This thesis explores the intersection between computation and architectural design. The thesis first develops several computational design tools, specifically focussing on three problem domains: (1) speedy generation and ... -
COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS (CFD) MODELING OF A PILOT-SCALE MEMBRANE FILTRATION TECHNOLOGY TO TREAT OILY WASTEWATER
(2022-12-02)In this study, a pilot-scale membrane filtration system for the treatment of oily wastewater through a comprehensive three-dimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling was investigated. The model was designed ... -
Computational Investigation into Catalytic Mechanisms of Disease-Causing Enzymes and Biocatalysts
(2015)Computational chemistry, namely the ONIOM method, is used to investigate areas of interest to drug design, including malaria and inflammation, as well as biocatalysts for the hydration of nitrile substrates. With the ... -
Computational methods for efficient processing and analysis of short-read Next-Generation DNA sequencing data
(2020-04-13)DNA sequencing has transformed the discipline of population genetics, which seeks to assess the level of genetic diversity within species or populations, and infer the geographic and temporal distributions between members ... -
Computational Methods for Spatial OLAP
(2011-04-20)Data warehousing and On-line Analytical Processing (OLAP) are powerful tools for processing and analyzing business and analytical data. It is estimated that 80% of the data stored in data warehouses have some spatial ... -
COMPUTATIONAL MODEL OF THE CATALYTIC CYCLE OF ORGANOSELENIUM ANTIOXIDANTS
(2012-07-31)The chemistry of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase and synthetic organoselenium enzyme mimics has been a significant research interest for more than three decades. In this work, the results of a computational study employing ... -
