Talking Games: An Empirical Study of Speech-based Cursor Control Mechanisms

Thornton, David (2008-12-15)

This document describes a study of speech-based cursor control mechanisms along with a new proposed approach called NameTags. This research is intended to provide empirical user data to inform the design of future systems ...

Taming the Scientific Big Data with Flexible Organizations for Exascale Computing

Tian, Yuan (2012-07-31)

The last five years of supercomputers has evolved at an unprecedented rate as High Performance Computing (HPC) continue to progress towards exascale computing in 2018. These systems enable scientists to simulate scientific ...

Tapered Grain Geometry and Statistical Learning for Solid Rocket Motor Simulation

Sheils, Tyler (2023-04-26)

This thesis investigates applying statistical learning techniques to a tapered grain solid rocket motor simulation. Tapered grain solid rocket motors (SRMs) have application in both defense and space industries. Tapered ...

Target Reliability Analysis for Structures

Ghasemi, Seyed Hooman (2015-01-06)

Structural performance depends on load and resistance parameters, in particular magnitude and frequency of load components and their combinations, strength of materials, modulus of elasticity, dimensions, rate of deterioration, ...

Target Site Resistance Mechanism of Protoporphyrinogen Oxidase Inhibiting Herbicides in Eleusine indica

Bi, Bo (2021-07-06)

Goosegrass is considered as one of the five most troublesome weeds in the world. Protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) with two isoforms, chloroplast targeted (PPO1) and mitochondrial targeted (PPO2), is a step in the biosynthesis ...

Targeted Gene Expression Profiling in Beef Cattle under Finishing Conditions in the South Eastern United States: Identification of regulatory factors involved in metabolic efficiency, energy partitioning, and intramuscular fat deposition

Burnett, Derris (2014-04-25)

Three studies were conducted in order to examine the molecular events associated with metabolic efficiency in specific skeletal muscle and adipose tissue depots in finishing beef cattle. In the first study a total of 15 ...

Targeted Gene Insertion and the Effect of Random Insertion of the Masou Salmon Delta5-Desaturase Transgene on n-3 Fatty Acid Production and Culture Traits of Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus)

Huang, Yingqi (2018-11-07)

Channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) is one of the most abundant catfish species in North America. The objectives of this study were to determine the effectiveness of the Masou salmon delta5-desaturase transgene driven ...

Melo, Marcelo (2009-08-07)

The family Chiasmodontidae, commonly known as swallowers, comprises four genera and 33 species distributed in the meso and bathypelagic regions of the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian and Southern Oceans. The species of Chiasmodon ...

Taxonomic Profiling of the Lumen and Epimural Surface of the Duodenum, Rumen and Ileum Using a Cannulated Bovine Model

Stockler, Ricardo (2021-04-16)

The gut microbiome provides important metabolic functions for the host animal. Bacterial dysbiosis as a result of bacterial, viral, and parasitic gastrointestinal infections can adversely affect the metabolism, productivity, ...

Taxonomy and phylogenetics of fish blood flukes using morphology, life history, and molecular markers

Orélis-Ribeiro, Raphael (2016-08-05)

Fish blood flukes (Digenea: Aporocotylidae) are of rapidly progressing and emerging interest to ecology and evolutionary biologists because some lineages may have coevolved with the major lineages of non-tetrapod vertebrates ...
