Understanding of extensional flow mechanism is utmost important for the efficient operation of many industrial processing such as fiber spinning, extrusion, injection molding, and electrospinning, particularly if these involve non-Newtonian fluids such as polymer fluids, gels, f…
Using the Ancient Petitions (SC8) a collection of documents housed in the UK National Archives (TNA) as the case study, this dissertation proposes an open-access Resource Description Framework (RDF) structured by integrating a hybrid of traditional analytic descriptions from cod…
Non-native plant pests and pathogens threaten biodiversity, ecosystem function, food security, and economic livelihoods. Preventing, minimizing, and mitigating damage from invasive non-native plant pests involve dynamic, multiscale strategies that are agile enough to respond to …
Muslim radicalism is recognized as one of the greatest security threats for the United States and the rest of the world. Use of force to eliminate specific radical entities is ineffective in containing radicalism as a whole. There is a need to understand the origin, ideologies a…
Computer emulations, simulating real or imagined computer systems, are a valuable tool to quickly gain understanding of computer architecture and software. Existing computer emulation systems offer useful but limited visualization and interaction. This paper addresses improving …
This research targeted complex abstract concepts in Computer Science and focused on bringing about the visualisation of such concepts using virtual world technologies. The research proposed the use of virtual world elements to support the understanding and learning of six comput…
In the field of wireless network security there exist many scenarios that require the network administrator to carefully consider the best course of action, to be taken against an unauthorized user. In these cases it is important to have real time information, such as the locati…
Jeddah public health resources are struggling to meet the demand of the large populations. The city is suffering from insufficient public health resources along with other health problem, like high rates of some disease, which resulted in an amount of dissatisfaction among some …
The thesis addresses the problem of capturing and tracking multi-user interpretations of 3D spatial datasets. These interpretations are completed after the end of the visualization pipeline to identify and extract features of interest, and are subjective to human intuition and k…
My dissertation examines how literature prompts us to visualize complex, multisensory and multidimensional images that push the boundaries of our cognitive capacities. Rather than considering descriptive power in literature in terms of perceptual mimesis, I argue that the imagin…
Static friction, a force fundamental to nearly every mechanical system from micro-machines to basketball shoes to tectonic plates, is in fact anything but static. In contrast to the simplified version taught in high-school, static friction is actually extremely dynamic, complex,…
Data-driven simulations represent a promising approach to understanding and predicting complex dynamic processes in the presence of shifting demands of urban systems. Newly proposed continuous ensemble frameworks like DataStorm, execute the models in coupled continuous simulatio…
This dissertation examines the strategies used by early Americans to collect and display data on a variety of natural phenomena. I argue that these data displays allowed Americans to enter debates and dialogues about what kind of place the North American continent was and would …
As Carlos Ginsburg pointed out, “What is much harder to reject in principle (but also as much harder and more laborious to achieve) is an analytical reconstruction of the intricate web of minute relations that underlies the production of any work of art, however simple”, my proj…
