A indústria da cordoaria é uma indústria antiga e que mantém o seu lugar no mercado devido à necessidade de produtos com características específicas em diversas indústrias. Este projeto nasceu da necessidade de modernização e melhoria de desempenho por parte desta indústria, ond…
De uma forma geral, os sistemas computacionais modernos, sejam eles de apoio e gestão da infraestrutura ou aplicacionais, produzem informação relevante sobre a sua atividade operacional, que é mantida em ficheiros específicos designados por registos ou ficheiros de log Estes fic…
Image Forensics has become an important area of research due to the exponential increase in availability and free exchange of media. The accessibility to good quality sensors and image hosting websites is now at the disposal of more users than ever. The increase in sharing of im…
The rise of automation technology has caused tremendous social structural changes, and the range of human labor is constantly shrinking. Even, the most traditional unshakable creative fields have gradually been affected. It may predict that automated creative technologies will d…
Hybrid inspection systems, those in which humans and computers work cooperatively, have found increased application in today's complex manufacturing and service systems, as evidenced by their widespread use in inspection applications (e.g., printed circuit boards, aircraft compo…
The constant pressure on manufacturing companies to improve productivity, reduce the lead time and progress in quality requires new technological developments and adoption. The rapid development of smart technology and robotics and autonomous systems (RAS) technology has a profo…
The research offers an elaboration of genealogy as an approach to knowledge from Friedrich Nietzsche's original work on method (1887) processed by Michel Foucault (1971). It provides an interdisciplinary version that integrates theoretical and analytical contributions from the p…
The theme of this thesis is to pave a path to vertically extract business intelligence (BI) from software code to business intelligence base, which is a tank of BI. Business intelligence is the atomic unit to build a piece of program comprehensibility in business logic point of …
Fingerprints are unique to each person and they have been widely used and accepted for identification purposes by the society. Fingerprints can be captured by using ink and paper to get a print and then digitizing it or more recently by using specialized sensors. But in both cas…
Fingerprints are one of the most widely used personal identification traits. They play a crucial role in forensics because they are considered to be unique to each person. For many years, the identification of individuals had been carried out by human operators. However, with te…
In this thesis, we studied the vehicle type classification problem from several perspectives. We apply a deep learning technique with different parameters such as image size and the number of images in data sets to the classification of an image as one of the nine vehicle types.…
Polimerler, iyi mekanik özellikler, düşük yoğunluklu, oldukça düşük maliyetli ve aynı zamanda işlem kolaylığı gibi değerli özelliklerinden dolayı çeşitli alanlarda en yaygın kullanılan malzemelerdir. 1970 yılından bu yana plastik kullanım beş kat artmıştır. Günlük yaşamı oldukça…
Computational proteogenomic integrates proteomics with genomics and transcriptomics data and has emerged over the past decade as a useful discipline for functional annotation of genomes. It has been driven by high-throughput technologies from mass spectrometry and next generatio…
The soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is responsible for billions of dollars in yield losses for the soybean industry. This plant parasite infects the roots of soybean plants and feeds off the plant’s nutrients to complete its life cycle. Effective long-term control of SCN populations…
My thesis project, American Standard, comprised of the works Fixtures and Lights Out, addresses issues surrounding automation by utilizing processes that have rendered the shift-worker nearly obsolete. In American Standard, I have replaced workers with 3D scanning,
The purpose of this thesis is to examine which data captured by experiential learning technology can be used to understand more about students’ perspectives, mindsets and skills. The objective is to examine how technology-enabled real-time analysis of learner data can be used by…
Under similar conditions, products that are designed and used for similar tasks fail similarly. Developers may become aware of various product failure modes during the initial stages of new product generation, where redesign and failure mitigation processes can occur with minima…
This dissertation explores the impact of data-driven approaches to worker advocacy. I combine historical and design research, organized around a case study of management-engineering projects conducted by the International Ladies Garment Workers Union (ILGWU). I survey how workpl…
The development of automated vehicle (AV) technology is suggesting a promising future of safer and more efficient transportation. However, there are still many challenges in ensuring the operational safety of AVs before their deployment. Scenario-based testing of AVs is an essen…
