A timely exploration of how odor seeps into structural inequality Our sense of smell is a uniquely visceral-and personal-form of experience. As Hsuan L. Hsu points out, smell has long been spurned by Western aesthetics as a lesser sense for its qualities of subjectivity, volatil…

This book provides protocols for nucleic acid-based methods currently applied to plant pathogen detection and identification, showing that great strides have been made in molecular diagnostics since those first tentative steps back in the late 1980s/early 1990s. It takes the pra…
The modeling of micromechanical systems (MEMS) under shock conditions can be an extremely difficult task for MEMS engineers. Overall, this field of research is multiphasic nature, since different physical phenomena are strongly intertwined at microscale. This work concentrates o…
Intelligent transportation systems use in-pavement inductive loop sensors to collect real time traffic data. This method is very expensive in terms of installation and maintenance. Our research is focused on developing advanced algorithms capable of generating high amounts of en…
This thesis discusses the preliminary development of a microfluidic system for low concentration vapour analysis incorporating a novel analyte preconcentration method to extend vapour detection limits. The topicality of this subject is evidenced by the urgent requirement to dete…
Salmonella associated with poultry meat is responsible for a significant number of foodborne illnesses in the United States, with both broilers and turkeys implicated as vehicles in outbreaks. Numerous studies have been carried out to understand the prevalence and characteristic…
Neutron detection is a technique essential to homeland security, nuclear reactor instrumentation, neutron diffraction science, oil-well logging, particle physics and radiation safety. The current shortage of helium-3, the neutron absorber used in most gas-filled proportional cou…
In this research, hyperspectral and terahertz (THz) imaging were used for segmentation and detection of desired objects. In the hyperspectral part of the research, the performance of hyperspectral image classifying algorithms were tested and enhanced by parameter modification an…
Background There is interest in the possibility of indicated prevention of psychosis. There is a strong case for using psychological approaches to prevent transition to psychosis in high-risk patients. Aims To identify individuals at high risk of transition to psychosis, and psy…
